Ratings and Reviews
Unhelpful
The wait is too long and there's no reassuring message while we wait you guys should add some message while the wait that says something like "you are the __ in line sorry for the wait, it usually takes __" and after some strategies to calm while waiting.

Thank you for your feedback, we take it very seriously to improve our users' experience.
Needs AI integration
Bing chat brings some competition to this app.
I think that the purpose of this app is only to give the impression that there is help available for these situations or it is a solution to compensate the "suicide rate" number... Maybe the goal aimed is only to bring people in to the hospital and feed them pills?
Unfortunately, this is not a failproof tool and it is not at its best level yet. Al should be added as a counselor to this app. Would that be an investment worth it to prevent suicide?
Also, what assistance do you suggest for a case where: "I don't want pills and am not willing to open myself to just anybody"?
