Soluna: Mental Health Care 12+

Good idea, good services, needs more content

This app is great and it has a lot of professionals around it. It has in app coaching, which is essentially 40 minute lessons with mental health professionals. You can use it essentially as free therapy, which is good. It also has a lot of information, but this is where the app needs improvement. It has good information but not enough and not in enough specific places. I think there should be more constellations for specific topics, and more stories in the constellations themselves. Of course this will come with time but the faster they can roll them out the better the app will do. Also they need to add more robustness to the mood tracker, like making custom reasons for your mood, but it still works great and I love the idea. Overall good app that needs more content!

Love hearing that professional support within the app has been valuable to you! 🙌 That free 45-minute chat with someone who just "gets it" can really be a game changer! When it comes to more constellations and topics, we're all ears and taking notes. 🙇‍♀️ While we do roll out new content on various topics each week, we'd love to hear what you mean about "specific places" and if there are specific topics you have in mind (in case they aren't on our radar.) If you're open to it, email us your thoughts at thoughts@kooth.com and we'll explore it with our team. And btw, thanks for being you. ✨

I guess

I tried the app for a month and found myself not finding any real help or consolidation. Most of the tools are just stories you can’t really relate to or common exercises to try and help. If you want to chat there’s a forum and sessions you can do and both don’t do you any good. To start off the forum is just a place where you can ask help from other fellow users but don’t expect much as not many people comment or simply like the post. The forum is a heartbreaking and annoying place to see as there are people who genuinely need help while some just put random playlists as if it would do anything to help. There are two ways sessions work which you can drop in or schedule with someone. I’ve done both and had mediocre experiences. Dropping in took me around 30 minutes to finally get in touch with someone and scheduled ones are fine. Overall I wouldn’t really recommend this app if you are seriously struggling. Not a lot of use and value for it, but I guess that’s what you’ll get for free.

desktop version?

The app has been going well so far. I’ve explored the different tools and i especially like the free write tool. I’m new to journaling my thoughts and it helps to have prompts to start off with. I’ve also enjoyed the chats with the mental health professionals. My only issue is that I would prefer to chat with my coach on my laptop but Soluna is not available on desktop? There’s a website but no way to sign in there. It’s a bit awkward holding my phone up to talk to my coach and I feel having the sessions on my computer would provide a better angle and be a bit more comfortable

So glad to hear you’re enjoying Soluna! 💜 We also love that the free write tool has been helping you get into journaling — it’s such a great way to process thoughts and support your wellbeing. And good news — drum roll, please — Soluna is available on desktop! You can sign in at SolunaApp.com to chat with your coach from your computer. Hope that makes things more comfortable for you, and thanks for sharing your thoughts!
