Thousands of people use 7 Cups, winner of the Stanford MedicineX Prize for Healthcare Systems Design, every week. Here’s what some of them have to say:
“Talking anonymously with a listener made me feel safe enough to really open up.”
“I can just message on my way home from work and it isn’t inconvenient like scheduling a therapist.”
“I got undivided attention from someone who cared for the first time in a really, really long time.”
EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ON DEMAND:
Feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed? Having relationship problems? Sometimes you need to vent. Finding and scheduling a therapist can be time-consuming and expensive, and you can’t always open up to friends, family, or coworkers.
Now you can get emotional support anytime, anywhere with 7 Cups. This app gives you the help you need, fast and free, in a way that fits your life.
• Connect anytime, anywhere with listeners who care
• Speak your mind without any fear of being judged
• All listeners trained in active listening
• Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch
We start you on a “growth path” that will encourage and support you as you take daily steps to become stronger.
IN THE MEDIA:
Founded by a licensed psychologist, 7 Cups has been featured in LifeHacker (“Technology can help you find someone to chat with about your problems to, or even connect you with a professional that can offer lasting, long-term help”), Medical Daily (“Talking therapy for people on-the-go”), and TechCrunch (“One of the top 8 startups from Y Combinator’s Summer ’13 Demo Day”).
100% CONFIDENTIAL:
Remain 100% anonymous. No one will ever know who you are—not even your listeners or therapists.
LISTENERS WHO CARE:
Our listeners are volunteers. They aren’t getting paid; they’re here because they want to help.
They care.
We have over 450,000 trained listeners and licensed therapists to choose from. Listeners provide support across 189 countries and in 140 languages. Each listener has a profile with reviews and a list of categories that they specialize in, ranging from panic attacks and bullying to eating disorders, surviving a breakup, and more.
When you find the listener you want, connect instantly via chat. Try a new listener each time, or pick one listener and develop a deeper ongoing relationship.
FAST & FREE:
The app is free to download, and all listeners are 100% free. After you download the app, you can start a conversation in less than 60 seconds.

Ratings and Reviews
The therapists don’t act like therapists.
The therapists are real but I don’t know what I’m paying $150 a month for.
Mine won’t explain my feelings in psychological terms like my real therapist.
She sends short messages. It’s been weeks and we’re still “getting to know each other” it seems.
She’s given me no exercises. No thought-provoking advice. Nothing.
The free listeners provide the exact same experience.
Absolute crap
The listener kept saying things like “I’m very trustworthy and good at what I do” and “I understand” and than kept telling me that they can find out if I have depression because they are very good at what they do. There was absolutely no listening done it was all about this person talking about how good they were at their job and trying to tell me if I was depressed. It was crap. These people don’t have good enough training to be dealing with people that are not in the proper state of mind.
App with an identity crisis
Presents itself as a support app, yet puts that support so far out of reach that it defeats the
purpose, forcing you to “walk a path” of disconnected, anecdotes, quotes and videos before allowing you to have permission to reply to threads. (Sure, it’s triage, we get that, but….)
Then as you move forward on it’s path, it congratulates you and gives you badges and basically ranks you as a user. I did 37 levels. How does getting a ranking on an app provide support for a real-life situation? Today, I got approved for the chat sharing, which is like a 1990’s chat room with cliques of people, no coherency in the postings, just a free for all after 5 minutes of trying to follow, it was like juggling.
This app is confusing to use, difficult to integrate. I am by no means a newbie in terms of technology, yet this app had me feeling I wasn’t making the grade.
Yes, some cool concepts that I never reached (ranking) like being a good “listener” and yes, meaningful in its core values - I think.
But closing a “support” app feeling flustered kind of defeats the purpose imo
I see it has a good membership, so some people find what they need.
