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.
