Ratings and reviews

It's a great app so far, with lots of mental health resources, journal space, a mood tracker, blogs, and links to donate too, and it isn't all locked behind a paywall which has been a big problem with other apps I've had like this. I would definitely recommend. The only thing I would change is I wish you could document different moods throughout the day instead of just one for the whole day. Other than that I love it

I enjoy this app because it gives me a space to recognize and process my emotions while knowing I am not alone, and if I need help, it's only a call away. I do wish it was more customizable for the Discovery option, so those of us with different mental health issues will see options more relevant. All in all, it's a great app, even if you aren't huge on journaling.

Having trouble using the "find help" tool - I can't input my zip code. It's also frustrating to not be able to bookmark any blog post. Only the ones that come up in the home section can be bookmarked, not the ones in the Discover-->Read More section. Overall I love the app, but these two shortcomings are really frustrating.
