As someone who struggles with OCD, anxiety disorder, and possibly ADHD, and is aromantic this all is very helpful to make me feel better. I always felt out of place being aromantic as everywhere I looked people were talking about their crush and whatever. But this app helps me feel more better and less out of place. One thing I will say is if possible instead of making it cost like over $10 for it maybe they could lower it down so everyone can be able to do it.

Hey there, thanks so much for sharing your experience! We're so glad to hear Voda's helping you feel less out of place (you're definitely not alone!). I completely get the pricing concern too but we have a bunch of free programmes available, and for annual subscriptions it is a 43% discount too! We’re always working on ways to make Voda more accessible for everyone. Thanks again for your feedback x
Proud and Empowered: Thanks to Voda!

Using the Voda app has profoundly helped me become more aware and accepting of my queer identity. The app’s personalized affirmations, paired with actionable strategies grounded in evidence-based approaches, have strengthened my confidence and challenged unhelpful thoughts and limiting beliefs that I once held about myself. Its daily advice and mindfulness exercises offer practical tools that make it easier to buffer minority stress and cultivate self-compassion. I especially appreciate how the app creates a supportive, affirming space where my experiences feel validated and normalized.Through Voda, I’ve gained skills to better regulate my emotions and cope with challenges specific to LGBTQIA+ life, all while continuously affirming my identity. The tailored content and community-driven approach make me feel understood and empowered to implement changes in my self-care routine. Overall, Voda has been invaluable in helping me embrace and celebrate my queer self with greater resilience and self-love.

Downloaded this app after seeing it advertised on Facebook. As an LGBTQ+ person, was desperate to find some mode of self care/therapeutic maintenance for my ongoing social and disability related problems. Instead I found an app that, while helpful at first, didn’t make it clear that it had a paywall after the first day. Or as I saw in another comment, required the use only of random free services on the site. Or even more so the need to apply for a special scholarship to use the app for free.All of these factors indicate that the creators of the app care more about profit and their bottom line than the people who are needing their services for help. I needed more than the weekly visits my disability insurance covers for offline therapy. And navigating the complicated and difficult to read well system Voda employs caused me the kind of cognitive stresses I actually sought out this app to try to manage. This app is a very important service. And really needs to be more user friendly and less concerned with profit. And take into consideration the complicated economic and cognitive issues of its users.

Hey, Voda offers a free tier with daily content and journaling. For anyone who can't afford Voda+, we offer scholarships at voda.co/scholarships. It takes 2 minutes, and we approve everyone. If you simply filled up the form, we'd have sorted you out. There are no other apps like Voda that provide so much for free for our community. The Voda+ upgrade costs the price of a coffee per month, and for those who opt in to that, this supports our small queer team. Like yourself and others, our team and therapists deserve to make a living. Sustainability is what allows us to keep building. We appreciate critical reviews on product functionality, but leaving a 1-star review when we have a 2-min write-in option to get a free Voda+ subscription is really harsh. Have a good day.
build bravery and focus :)

Even after using this app for only a few weeks, I have already noticed feeling more grounded and intentional. The journeys they send you on help you recognize your thoughts and all the voices that may want to have a say in who you are and how you present and interact with the world, and you have a chance to pause, reflect, and reframe. They help build inner strength so you can reshape your view of the world into one of boldness, acceptance, and being enough. They give you practical examples of little ways to start being braver, and there’s a space to give feedback if you have questions or suggestions on a journey. It’s clear that the people who created this app care deeply about those of us on the other side of the screen, and they want to create a space for LGBTQIA people to flourish. Thank you, Voda!

This means a lot to our little team. Thank you for such thoughtful words. We’re so glad the journeys are helping you feel grounded and braver :-)
Queer self-care just got an upgrade! Meet the Voda Widget: you can add it to your home screen for a daily nudge to show up for yourself, and collect 10 Stars for doing so. We've also improved Practices. Now you can revisit past answers, narrates entries by voice, choose from pre-made responses, or skip what doesn't serve you. Thank you for being part of Voda.
