such a good app

this is my second day on this app and all i can say is wow. This app is a very good way of teaching people that they are not alone and they have a big support system right behind them! This app not only lets you speak of your own experiences but lets people chat to you and tell you how they feel about your talking time and how they may be dealing with the same things. This is definitely a 5 star rating but i would like to add on to the 30 minute time period for all to talk. I do believe it is persistent and a organized way to keep it short and affective but not many people get to talk so i think an hour would be a great fit because not only does it give people a more open opportunity but others in different time zones as well (i also think there should be a feature for that). Overall i love this app and will be spending my nights on this app to share and to listen!

This comment brought a smile to our faces! Thanks a lot for sharing your kind words about the app! :D I'm happy to tell you that we've extended the meeting lengths to an hour each. Your feedback is very valuable, and yes absolutely, you're right! This change gives more people a change to share their thoughts as well. Additionally, we're working on adding multiple meetings throughout the day to make sure more people are able to join! :D Overall, thanks a million times for your valuable feedback - very helpful!

Used to be a safe space.

This app used to be a safe space for me. I can't count how many times i've cried with people on here. I have recommended this app to many people while they paid others to do it for 5 views but anyways. Many trolls have found this app and have been very racist on it. They also talk about raping people. One person told me that they always have the urge and if they don't let them do it they want to do it even more. In the rooms where there are sessions, you get three minutes to talk and there is always a mod named "Be Good". They are very quick to kick people if they aren't talking or fell asleep while waiting for their turn but as soon as someone racist, is a rapist, or someone who just talks about nothing comes in the mod let's it happen. I was banned and I don't know what for. I have never did anything to break the rules. I have always given people such a positive and welcoming space to talk to me when they need to but the one time I talk about an assault that happens to me I get banned. I have emailed the app and have not gotten anything back. I have went back on there one night because I was having such a bad day (Different account obviously) and even told everyone the situation. Many people texted me telling me that the app is wrong for what they did. I said my goodbyes and left then sent another email asking if they've seen it. Not a single word. These people are probably recording our audios and selling them. Be careful.

I wanted to love this app!

I wanted to love this app but there’s a few key issues I think can be resolved:
1. The schedule of meetings are too sparse with only 30 minute limits which doesn’t allow even a fraction of the people who want to share a chance to do so. I think it would be beneficial for there to be more opportunities to listen as well as share with our peers.
2. My hand was raised and I was 2nd up to share and unfortunately the app glitched causing me to be moved back in line, the meeting then ended before I got the chance to share.
3. The inability to skip or kick individuals out of the speaker position. I understand this could be used nefariously, however, there have been people who have sat in the speaker position for the full 3 minutes without saying anything which takes time from others who want to share
4. Lastly, I understand this app should be accessible to everyone, however, as an adult it makes it uncomfortable to share about personal issues I struggle with (dating and sex) with minors and teenagers in the room. I suggest implementing 18+ or even 21+ rooms.

Your feedback means the world to us! Since we're actively trying to make the imperfectly perfect app with safe spaces for all of you, I will bring these points up with the team immediately! :)

But I won't leave you empty handed! I can tell you that as of tomorrow, we've extended the meetings to 1hr. We'd hate for people not to be able to share their thoughts - after all, that's what we'd love for people to do! :D

2: So sorry to hear about that! Yeah, unfortunately there were some glitches and bugs, but we're rolling up our sleeves to solve this issue ASAP.

3: We're working on a fix for this as well! For now, we're active in the meetings to prevent this from happening.

4: This is a very good point, and something we're also working on! :D

Lastly, I'll again thank you so much for your feedback as this is very helpful to us! Glad you're open minded about it by saying these can be resolved - we definitely agree! We hope you'll love joining the meetings after these issues have been resolved in the very very near future! Thanks! :D
