I didn’t think much going into the app, thought of it as another knock off of another knock off, but when using it after a couple of days I thought the whole concept was really helpful. I’ve used it for about two months, and while I did seem to not use it for some periods of time I really have found it helpful all this time. For that reason I wanna share some of the bugs, glitches, and potential missed opportunity with the app (I have the free version) In the start, no problems, but after about a month or so I started having weird visual but also functional issues. Sometimes when I would log into the app the times would change, sometimes I’d be a day ahead or behind, letters worked the same way too. When I go back to my days with the reactions I have a hard time knowing what days I had my worsts and bests from, which to me is the biggest downside. Besides that I also think the way the conversation system is with friends can be a little wonky, but I also get that the app is mainly for sharing thoughts from various people about a situation. These are just the main problems I had with the app and wanted to share them, a 4.7 rating is a very accurate rating of the app.

This app is a life saver, and life changer… I love using this app. It REALLY DOES HELP to read allllllll these letters and either respond with written words or even just giving a simple reaction to let the person know you read the letter and that they feel heard. You go through levels too. Based on how many responses you have written. I have written 122 responses and my goal is 600, I’m on a 19 day streak and have written my own letters of 10. This app is my safe haven and I’ll never delete/uninstall it. I highly recommend this app for your mental health or emotional support in general. Also. You pick your mood daily too. It’s a check in. Another great thing is that you get to choose your user name and pronouns and what topics you read about/see from others. You can also swap letters, if you dont like what you see and if what you see looks like a crisis or is someone talking about harming themselves and/or others you get to report it and swap it for another letter too. You can also block that user as well. I love this app. You will too. So go ahead. Download it now! Also thank you to all the developers/creators and contributors to this app! You have given the world a wonderful gift making this app. PS: They also have a discord server! You join it and then be directed to the upgraded server. Once you join the upgraded server you can leave the old one — or stay. Up to you. I think that covers everything lol. Sincerely, -Asteria Moon

i got this app cause i thought it would be like, people being there for others and if they know the right thing to do, they would tell you and help you out i’ve discovered a lot of negativity, not towards me but like, i get so many negative and triggering letters. i know there is a trigger warning button, which i think is super cool, but its kinda small and im not sure others are seeing it? i dont want to bring it up to them and be like upset because they were trying to vent about something. i really do want to help others but when i put something that ive been struggling with for a few years, asking for advice, i had gotten a reaction from someone i had blocked because they did not use the TW button, and then they received my message. i then made another and ig maybe it went to them as well ? and then they tried to friend me ?? i had try to block them so it was just really weird, and what they said was NOT helpful in the slightest. it seems like a lot of people project onto others and i don’t really think thats what this app was made for? im honestly just confused as to why they were able to still send a reaction and then respond even though i blocked them yesterday. i really like this app so im hoping maybe it’ll just get an update that like makes it somewhat similar to other social media and makes it to where i can keep that person blocked or something, really anything at all cause ive tried to do what i needed to protect my mental health, other than that i love this app
