TalkLife: 24/7 Peer Support 17+

So I’ll give an up to date review . My app works great no glitches and is not slow . Besides that the app is great . I always have someone to talk to or just understand what I’m going through . It’s more than just relationships it’s people going through many different things it could be a work problem or a school problem they can’t figure out . It’s helpful , but it’s not just an app you get on and see sad posts it’s also happy post . It is like a support group. You go when you feel like it any time of the day . People who follow you get to keep up with you and how you’re doing and you get to do the same so that’s a nice feature I like ! And sometimes you just don’t want to hear opinions or comments and other times people just don’t know what to say so I love the buttons that say “hug” and “support “ and “I’m here for you” because it’s the little bit of reassurance somebody needs. Seriously use this app if you just wanna post and post it’s like a twitter but somewhere where you don’t have to feel embarrassed somewhere you probably won’t see anyone you know on it it’s a safe place. It’s helped me a lot so thank you to whoever made this app.

This app was meant to help people in need yet you have to pay for some emotions (in addition To be labeled a “hero” on your pf) it seems limiting, making it hard for everyone to be honest about how they really feel. Although the basic emotion features are free, makes me question why the upgraded ones are not? Another thing is I question the community. There are some good people but when there is more negative/ sad people active a particular day those good people you see that usually help out are absent. There should be a thread where we have an option to see as our home page on the app instead of seeing recent posts in general, just to teach people that not everyone out there is good/ there to help simply because they have their own problems as well. This app needs to teach new users to be humble and consider they are not alone somehow. And it should not just be by sending a notification to the individual who is clearly having a crisis.

This app is a cheap rip off of Vent, a competitor app that had a strong, caring community. TalkLife bought out Vent and destroyed it, on purpose, to remove their competitors. Without care to their customers or the people that relied on Vent to get by day to day. TalkLife is only concerned with appearing to be concerned for its users. There is so much that they could have done as a company, but they chose not to, and they lied about their choices in order to look like they actually cared that literal lives depend on easily accessible, affordable mental health apps like these. TalkLife should not be providing apps under the guise of mental health. I and many of my friends are reeling at the loss of support due to TalkLife’s callous actions. They don’t need your money since they told us they wouldn’t take ours, so don’t give it to them. UPDATE: TL is still a harmful and toxic environment, and after two years of on again off again with the competitor Vent app, they’ve finally decided to pull its plug with almost no notice to the users and absolutely zero reasoning behind it, leaving them, again, with nowhere to go to during an extremely turbulent time.
