100% CONFIDENTIAL:
Remain 100% anonymous. No one will ever know who you areβ€”not even your listeners or therapists.

LISTENERS WHO CARE:
Our listeners are volunteers. They aren’t getting paid; they’re here because they want to help.

They care.

We have over 450,000 trained listeners and licensed therapists to choose from. Listeners provide support across 189 countries and in 140 languages. Each listener has a profile with reviews and a list of categories that they specialize in, ranging from panic attacks and bullying to eating disorders, surviving a breakup, and more.

When you find the listener you want, connect instantly via chat. Try a new listener each time, or pick one listener and develop a deeper ongoing relationship.

FAST & FREE:
The app is free to download, and all listeners are 100% free. After you download the app, you can start a conversation in less than 60 seconds.

The growth path is helpful, but everything else is 50-50. It all depends. Sometimes it can get difficult to navigate and confusing. It asked if I wanted to become a listener and this is how it went: Signed up to become a listener > It gave me the choice to pick between the listener account or my member account > I pressed the listener button > it looped around back to the sign up page. I tried it again but pressed on "member" and it did the same thing. I can't find the training anywhere as well.

Boy this app is SUPER buggy. Slow, so slow in fact that you are not sure if it's still running or not. The listeners are very nice generally. That is, if you can actually connect with one. Many only respond a couple of times before they just stop. It shows many listeners as available but are not active. And it is VERY pushy about constantly trying to get you to pay for a therapist through the app. It was a nice idea when it started.

Strongly recommend you DO NOT use this service. my account somehow got deleted all the progress I had made with that therapist was since gone and I had to answer all the on boarding questions again. I was then build a $150 after using the app for a week. Haven't used it since a few months later and I've been billed again. It has been. A pretty fruitless effort getting a hold of anyone from customer service. DO NOT USE!!! Edit: They haven't got me money back 3 weeks later.
