EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ON DEMAND:
Feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed? Having relationship problems? Sometimes you need to vent. Finding and scheduling a therapist can be time-consuming and expensive, and you can’t always open up to friends, family, or coworkers.

Now you can get emotional support anytime, anywhere with 7 Cups. This app gives you the help you need, fast and free, in a way that fits your life.

• Connect anytime, anywhere with listeners who care
• Speak your mind without any fear of being judged
• All listeners trained in active listening
• Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch

We start you on a ā€œgrowth pathā€ that will encourage and support you as you take daily steps to become stronger.

IN THE MEDIA:
Founded by a licensed psychologist, 7 Cups has been featured in LifeHacker (ā€œTechnology can help you find someone to chat with about your problems to, or even connect you with a professional that can offer lasting, long-term helpā€), Medical Daily (ā€œTalking therapy for people on-the-goā€), and TechCrunch (ā€œOne of the top 8 startups from Y Combinator’s Summer ’13 Demo Dayā€).

100% CONFIDENTIAL:
Remain 100% anonymous. No one will ever know who you are—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.

7 cups is the go-to platform for when you are feeling down or lacking human connection. It is the most supportive community you can find out there! As for the app, it can certainly be improved. It seems the app is not as well maintained as the website. Features like my impact page, etc are not available in the app. Also, listener review option should be provided after the chat is finished rather than in the middle of it so that the review is more helpful.

I haven't verified my phone number since I created my account 2 weeks ago. When I request a code for my phone number, a warning appears saying "too many requests, try again later." Even tho this was just the first attempt, when I waited a while later, the same warning still appeared. Because I can't verify my number, I can't do anything on this app, including posting comments in the community.

Used to be great but about a year or 2 ago, I had to uninstall it and switch to using the desktop site. I'm glad I had a laptop by then otherwise I would have had no access to online therapy. It became unusable - It would lag while I typed messages to my therapist so badly that letters stopped appearing and words showed up in quick bursts, then the app would just completely crash. I decided it had been a while, and downloaded it again to give it another shot. Same issue. Clearly devs don't care.
