I wrote a review on here without using the app that often, but here’s the truth despite the positive reviews. The app is good, I like it a lot but there is a bunch of issues with people treating this like a dating app and overstepping their boundaries. I’ve had so many people try to “help” me when all I wanted to was vent about whatever is on my mind. I’ve had people try to date or treat me as a therapist. I’m only one person and that isn’t my job. There is also quite a few triggering topics on here and I was it was it’s own separate category for those who just want to talk about random things, or for those who are seeking help. People think because you’re on this app then automatically you want help and that’s not how it works. If you display you want help then that’s different but on some of my letters I was just rambling. I wish people talked more about HOW people treat this app and how some have underlying intentions. I’ve had a guy barely talk with someone on this app and try to get a romantic relationship out of it and then say “…she blocked me. I don’t know why. I’m a good guy. I always get hurt. Etc.” and things like that can be overwhelming ESPECIALLY to younger and impressionable people! It’s a good app but there is so much more need of improvement and filters.

You can only contact five people today I haven’t even contacted anybody today but apparently I contacted five people today even though I haven’t talk to anybody and there’s limits this app used to be really good but I’m guessing it’s going downhill not only that but it’s supposed to be about helping people place where you can talk with people about social anxiety and things like that how are you supposed to do that if the app doesn’t let you and only want you to be able to talk to five people a day what if somebody really needs to talk to somebody because they are super depressed and that could be A thing that could change their life forever no I’m giving this one star I’d give this zero stars if I was able I hope the creators reach out and explain their actions doing this this app used to be good as I said but it looks like it’s going downhill with these stupid restrictions

I tried this app for a couple days. I met a few great people. A few. It’s probably not best for the easily triggered or sensitive as you will be bombarded by posts. There are genuine interactions and people that just want you to boost their stats for badges. I found it overwhelming in itself. No filters for triggering subject matter really. I’m sure it was created with the best of intentions but it is really lacking in any actual help for the ones that need it. If all you want is a place for platitudes and venting so strangers can tell you that everything will be okay, this will probably work for you. If you need real actual help this is NOT IT.
