Simply Plural

I have had this app for a year now but only used it to keep track of who all was in our system. After i discovered there’s a chat feature and a way to share with a friend who’s fronting, I have two ideas I’d like the app to implement if it could! 1. I enjoy the chat feature, but wish there was a way to keep the Front as the right side chat icon, and then the rest of the system would filter to the left. Swapping has made it feel more “real” but if that feature could happen, that would make more sense in our head. And 2. I don’t want to make a whole discord server just so our alters had a way to show they were speaking too, so if there was a way to allow friends on the app into the system chat, that would be awesome! That way I don’t have to keep tagging who’s saying what and my friends who aren’t systems aren’t confused as to who’s talking. (Even though Discord and the PluralKit have been extremely beneficial to plurals, I’m on the older side of the internet and don’t want to have to place a bunch of symbols beginning or ending my message in order to have the message say who said it. It’s much easier to click on an icon to say who’s chatting and leave it at that 😅) Otherwise, the app has been great! I’m really thankful to the developers for giving us a safe space to feel alive!

Been using this for a few days now, and it’s been really helpful for keeping track of things… until the app made me log back in again, to which I discovered the past twenty or so hours of activity had been erased. I had made a ton of changes to our profiles during that time, since we’re still very much so new to this headspace and figuring things out, and it was really disheartening to suddenly lose a ton of information regarding switches and alter descriptions and such. This is especially confusing since the app uses language and iconography that strongly suggests it is constantly saving things so I don’t lose anything. Is that not actually the case? Edit: Upon reopening the app, that seems to have jiggled something along the data pipeline and brought everything back to how it should be. Two stars have been added back to my review to reflect this, but the experience of panicking over the apparent loss of my system’s data was less than pleasant, to say the least, so I can’t give it five stars. That should never be a thing that can happen in a mental health app, especially one with the intended use of helping to keep track of things between shifting mental states.

I’m part of a system of nearly 50 members and I’ve been using this app for over six months now. It’s the only thing I’ve found to be useful on keeping tabs on everyone and who’s in my body when I’m not. I’ve been operating as a system consistently for four years and I’ve never learned so much about my folks than with this app. Journaling can’t come close to how easy it is to edit profiles and “clock in”. Cataloging fronts and time gaps has been so helpful and validating. This is the only tool that I’ve been able to actually get anyone to use let alone my stubborn folks. It’s so easy for my fictives that don’t understand our technology and my phone to use and understand as well. Anyway, if there were any suggestions (if you’re looking for that): I would really like the ability to add multiple pictures to a profile, and to be able to swipe through a headmate’s pictures like a dating app profile maybe? (I’m sure that be a lot of work but hear me out) then you could not only make their profile reflect who that person is so much better, but you could also have pictures of what they look like in the body. (I like trying to recognize expressions in my folks and this would make it so much easier— and to see how they dress). Not to mention folks that age slide. I think that’d be important to a lot of systems, I know it would be in ours. Anyway I really love this app thanks so much for making it :)
