The Toucan App 17+

Such a thoughtful app to facilitate 1-1 talk time on subjects that I often feel a need to vent about, but don’t want to burden my loved ones, or feel it reaches the level of professional therapy, and often just wishing there was someone who can talk/listen about similar issues I’m facing without having to build a formal relationship or friendship. This is new. It took a few minutes to get comfortable in my first huddle, but I can see this really offering a new strategy to cope with stressors in my life. Thank you Toucan team for seeing this need and finding a thoughtful way to create a platform for users.

Easy to use and easy to schedule. Getting the opportunity to share what is on my mind has been so helpful. Having The chance to say things out loud has helped me process my thoughts. I like having the topics to stay focused. I also appreciate that the listener knows ahead of time what to expect. This time at home has been difficult and I’m grateful to have this app!

I love the idea around this app- people coming together to support each other without judgement. I just can’t give it five stars only because of the cost for speaking. $5 for a 15 minute conversation with a stranger? I could understand a $1, but $5? I also wish the conversations were 20 minutes instead of 15. I love listening and will continue to do that. I hope as the app gets more popular the price will come down so I can afford speaking more, until then I will continue to listen, like I said I love that and I love the idea around the app.
