Wisdo: Mental Health & Support for Negative User Reviews
✓ DANGEROUSPlease steer clear of this app I wanted to try it thinking I could speak to people that might know the pain I am going through but it has made it worse. It is just an unmoderated forum where people write all sorts of horrible things. There was someone with an obscene name, considered offensive in most of the world. I saw one account just replying to everyone telling them to go and kill themselves and that they are selfish. It probably worked for some. This afternoon there was a petty argument where one girl said something and another girl took offense and started saying horrible things. At one point someone said they were going to punch another. It was really heated and then a person who I think was a staff member commented telling people to stop but not actually doing anything about it. Eventually I felt so sorry for one of them I tried to message them but the app wouldn't let me. I felt sick reading some of the stuff in here. If you need help go anywhere else even Facebook groups are better because the admins look at and delete comments.Version: 2.14.2
✓ This made me want to kms even moreOkay so I downloaded this app a few days ago. At first it was pretty good. Someone added me to a group chat and I talked to people until like 2 in the morning. But then as the days went on i realized that the group chat was getting out of hand and that everybody was ignoring me. I met a girl on there who was acting totally strange and kind of freaking me out and yesterday was basically what made this trash. I posted a message in each group that I related too. First off some people were talking to me and then once they said I could pm them I said one sentence to them then they would say something back and I would respond and then just noting back at all. And then once I posted in the other groups people would just ignore me I completely. I’m gonna keep the app just in case I do really need it but I doubt I will.Version: 2.1
✓ RubyI don’t like this app bc I’m under 17 so I can’t use it but I have anxiety, stress and depression so this app is stupid and can’t help me..Version: 2.1
✓ I love the concept but its needs a reworkThe concept is great and the all works well but I think its very difficult to use the app because you have to post in a conversation and from there it shows up on a timeline which doesnt make any sense, posts get lost and its really hard to navigate. Its should just be like a regular social media where you post on the timeline directly..Version: 2.25
✓ SuggestionCan we get a category for people who just got out of jail? It’s hard to adjust back into society and I think this is a traumatic experience that would be beneficial for those who have been through it to talk about it..Version: 2.4
✓ Under 17 not allowed 😢It sounds like a great app and I’m sure it is but I’m 14 and I would love that talk to other kids going through the same as me and there aren’t many apps like this so I’m just left out you guys could at least have a kids section. Anyway that’s why I’m giving it a 1 star review.Version: 2.2
✓ WisdoIt’s amazing so far I haven’t had anything come up and ask me about costs you can meet all types of people from all over the world and you find them by searching what you are suffering with e.g. anxiety depression Then thousands will come up you can click on them view their profile and chat . I think the only downside is that it does not say where they live when u click on them so if u get along with them really well they could end up living in Australia . Which is so far so you can’t meet up ..Version: 2.6
✓ FeedbackIt would be good if the app could have a dating option so people with similar experiences can get to know each other. And it would be good if there was a live chat option..Version: 2.1
✓ Used to love this appI used to be an avid user of this app. I made a lot of connections and some good friends whom I still talk to today. I deleted this app probably over a year ago because I started feeling negative and didn’t want to spread negativity in a good community of people. Well, I just thought about how I could use it back in my life again. After re-downloading it, they’re now asking for $40 a year to do anything in the app. One of my friends (whom I met on this app) did the same thing but re-downloaded it about a month ago. She says she has no problems using anything in the app and she is not paying. Not sure what happened or what’s going on here but I’d much rather spend $40 a year to use a very knowledgeable physical trainer app than on this. Too bad, another good app gone greedy..Version: 2.48
✓ Used to be a really good appI have used this app for a few years now and it was a really good app to use, you could talk to people whenever you felt low or alone and also helped anyone who felt the same. I went away from the app for a while and only recently came back to it and find out you have to pay to join groups AND to even reply to a private message?? I’ve now deleted the app completely, everything used to be free and you didn’t have to pay monthly for anything until recently. Will be looking for another app to use..Version: 2.73
✓ Good idea, poorly executedThe idea behind the app is wonderful, but from my experience, the communities are more like echo chambers with the occasional troll. In the depression community for example, there are dozens of people talking about serious problems, and people are doing the equivalent of one-upping them instead of giving actual advice. When someone talks about the want to self-harm, someone mentions just how much they’ve cut themselves. And so far, the advice I have seen is along the lines of, “it’ll get better! I promise!”. The trolls are a big problem too, because as people are dealing with someone making jokes about suicide and school shootings, there’s someone else in the background talking about the desire to take their own life, and not getting any response. I feel as though these groups, (or at least depression), do more harm than good.Version: 2.0.12
✓ Loved it until....Wisdo seems great for me and I love it as an app. There were a few more technical issues with the app frequently such as the buddy system not working for me properly (I couldn’t see all the time options the app gave nor read back what I’d written in my info for my buddy) and it saying I hadn’t read messages when I already had so I thought “hey, maybe if I uninstall the app and download it again it’ll fix itself.” THIS IS WHERE I WAS WRONG! The app won’t let me log in again. When I sign in through my email it just says I can’t sign in because the data is in the wrong format? What the heck does that mean. The company doesn’t seem to have a support email to contact to get help with this... so I guess I’m not getting back on this app. EDIT: I wrote this review on the 29th of March and as of today, the 18th of April, I still haven’t been able to log in or find a way to contact the people who made this app. This is really disappointing. Second edit: It’s now the 29th of April... still no help. I looked through the reviews and found a contact email, but no help has been offered from that either, the email seems to have been ignored. Still can’t get into my account because of the exact same error..Version: 2.20.1
✓ They monitor private conversationsSo as some of you might know, it is highly illegal to monitor private conversations without a third party consent. Normally this is done after being reported by said individual. On top of that, this app allows anyone to become an admin after filling in a couple bits of paperwork that can easily be forged. Therefore anyone can have permission to openly monitor certain individuals. Bare in mind that none of this is stated within the “terms of service” section. So if you value your privacy do not use this app! Hopefully it will go under investigation soon..Version: 2.17.1
✓ App went to trash after they added the subscriptionIt won’t let me get past the “my journey” part. I click on what I’ve been through or am going through and I am unable to proceed to the next step because it keeps saying “something went wrong”. I’ve had this problem before which resulted in me having to delete the app because I couldn’t use it. Several years ago, before they added the subscription, I thought the app was great. I ended up being kicked out of it though, because I wasn’t 17 at the time, which is the minimum age required to use the app. After I turned 17 I downloaded the app again, realized the app was trash and deleted it because of how bad it was. People always feel like they have to add a price to things now, and they end up ruining their product. The app was better at first. I wouldn’t waste your time, effort, or money on this app if I were you!!!.Version: 2.115.2
✓ Some users think this is a dating/role play app.I like the premise of this app. A social network, designed to help those in a potential mental crisis. However, I had the app for less than 30 minutes before I got messages from men, making me very uncomfortable. The first message was from a random gentleman telling me he preferred to be called “Sir”. I got another right after from another gentleman, talking to me like this was a dating app, asking intrusive questions. I’m putting myself out there right now, but, my primary selections was Anxiety and Loneliness. The gentlemen that contacted me had the same selections I had. Again, I like the premise. But, there are some users that aren’t using it for its intended purpose..Version: 2.16.1
✓ Pretty good, not perfectThis app is good if you want to yell into the void and maybe have a couple of people comment support or advice, and also want to read other people’s ordeals. There’s a great range if categories to go into to find your specific area. But things tend to get lost/buried with the way the app works, and therefore it’s completely possible to post something and get 0 reaction, which isn’t helpful if you’re looking for support. It can actually make you feel even more disheartened and alone, so I’d definitely recommend looking for other services that offer 1x1 support if you need affirmation that someone is listening and maybe want some advice..Version: 2.0.24
✓ TerribleYou have to pay a 50 dollar membership to be able to express yourself and your story! Plus if you are under 17 you can’t sign up even though teenagers are the most likely people to develop depressive disorders! TERRIBLE APP DO NOT DOWNLOAD ITS A TOTAL RIP OFF.Version: 2.40
✓ Scam! Do not download!If you download it they will make you pay a fee! Do not download total SCAM targeted and DESPERATE, LONELY people to take ALL their money!.Version: 2.0.19
✓ Kinda bad :(The helpers are not very good and responding promptly which isn’t great. the people in the groups are often very clicky and don’t like new members. i also had one ‘helper’ call me overweight :(.Version: 2.21.3
✓ Make it as clear as possible that wisdo don’t have qualified people on there to give adviceI see how talking to people who have or are in a similar situation can help people but it can be dangerous giving people wrong advice because they aren’t professionals. They may have helpful advice but still they could be wrong with that advice but yet again I see that owner should make it very clear that the people on there aren’t professionals and have it say by using this app you hereby acknowledge that the advice you get on here could be dangerous or something like that but yeah make it clear please so I’m giving this app a two stars for now.Version: 2.39
✓ Great concept, not very well executedI love the idea of this app, and I have encountered many genuinely kind and wonderful people on it. That being said: this app is not user-friendly; when I click ‘view more replies’ I constantly receive a message with a red bar that says ‘something is wrong’. Additionally, notifications can be slow to appear, and the chat rooms are difficult to keep up with. Part of this results from the largest groups being ridiculously large, but also: when you click to read the chat history, you often can’t find the newest notification that showed up in the preview screen. The timeline ‘trending’ feature also constantly shows the same posts/doesn’t refresh correctly. Please fix the numerous bugs in this app. Lastly: many people try to use this app as a dating site. It’s incredibly irritating, and could potentially be harmful to those seeking help when feeling especially vulnerable. The block feature is a helpful way to get rid of creeps, but it’s disappointing that this is an issue to begin with..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Lack of help😔In my opinion wisdo isn’t all that great. I feel like everything is fake it is not trustworthy. And their banned system is terrible I got falsely banned for ”trolling” when I did nothing wrong. I prefer you guys to just talk on a hotline than this app.Version: 2.5
✓ Too many people in group chatsGood idea but really hard to keep track of group chats, there are so many messages unread by the time I can look at it, no point in me even trying to join the conversation.Version: 2.0.10
✓ Good but needs improvementI like this app, it’s very useful for chatting with like minded people however I dislike how you cannot delete comments/posts once you have posted them. It’s especially annoying if you accidentally write the wrong thing and want to edit it or delete it and write it again, you can’t..Version: 2.12
✓ DisappointingI downloaded Wisdo over 5 years ago. I’m very unhappy to jump back on, looking for a chat room to just vent away! Then to find it is no longer a free platform, now you have to pay over $100 a year to be in more than a few chat rooms? This app got me out of my darkest moments by being able to connect with people I didn’t know, who were dealing with the same things. Being able to nearly stay totally anonymous, no shame or anything attached. I’m am very very unhappy to see there are now additional costs. What a joke and what a terrible thing to do? Free services are becoming more and more scarce. Such a joke. Not the best for those unemployed and “too old” to seek free mental health services..Version: 2.93.1
✓ The ban system??So i was lead helper (so i grinded hard), had a bad day and say a bad comment on someone and got insta ban when the other users did the same thing, i think we need more explication before getting ban. It’s like all the good thing that you did for the community is nothing for them..Version: 2.16.1
✓ Useless, if not dangerousThis platform is going to ruin people’s lives as there are endless number of idiots out there who think of themselves as counsellors and are giving uninformed, ignorant, and unsolicited advice. There’s little psychological benefit from interacting with people whose experiences, personalities, backgrounds, etc. are different from one another, especially that most of them are not experts. Moreover, the anonymity of interacting with “digital” people that you have never and will potentially never meet makes the whole thing feel impersonal and shallow. This is a dangerous forum..Version: 2.4.1
✓ ScamIt used to be a free app but Wisdo got greedy and decided to charge everyone money so i quit the app. I have depression and wish there was a free app to talk about my depression. This app is nothing but wanting to take your money. Highly not recommended for those who are broke and need to connect with people for free. You might as well stick to Facebook, twitter and instagram and talk to people on there cuz it’s free.Version: 2.65
✓ Useful however changed a lotWhen I first got this app, it was about a year or two ago. It was refreshing, being able to meet other people and see that you were not alone in your thoughts. The app in the beginning was a good place for others to escape or seek advice. It provided a safe community for others who are probably unable to have that offline. It been a while since I been on this app, so I was extremely surprised to see that they now have you pay for membership to talk in the groupchats. It's was extremely disappointing. This app helped me through so much and now I don't have access to it anymore. If it weren't for the subscription, I wouldn't have rated this 1 star. Some people do not have access to money, yet alone enough for therapy. This app used to be helpful in that situation. The community that once existed is now unobtainable..Version: 2.43
✓ EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTEDI’ve just discovered that this is no longer a free app. You are now requiring those using the app to pay a membership fee. I personally see this as a huge barrier, for MANY reasons. Money being the obvious one. Mental health resources are hard enough to access. This was an extremely beneficial coping tool for me at times, however none of these chat forums included any professional medical support. This is merely a like-minded community of people supporting each other, and seeking support for themselves. Why on EARTH would I be expected to pay a membership fee to speak to like-minded individuals who are VOLUNTARILY seeking support from non-professionals and/or to speak to people who are there CHOOSING to help others? I refuse to pay for this service that I have been accessing free of charge for months. And I am extremely disappointed that I am no longer able to access this support. Speaking over the phone is not ideal for me (due to anxiety) so crisis phone lines can CAUSE barriers for myself and many others. This was one place that I felt comfortable and confident turning to because I viewed it as barrier-free. It was a place I could come to feel understood, validated and connected ...until now. I have limited access to free resources in my community ..where else do I go for free 24/7 online chat forums now that your service has become yet another inaccessible service?.Version: 2.33
✓ TipsWelcoming friendly app, more helpful if it had a delete content/ posts option available.Version: 2.67
✓ You have to payHere you are looking for help on an app of all things and they ask you to PAY this is CRAP they are total trash do not support this BS.Version: 2.37
✓ ..Fake people.Version: 2.4.1
✓ There should be an option to delete one’s public messages as part of the privacy optionI would like to delete a message why is that not an option on a privacy supporting place?.Version: 2.69
✓ UnknownI asked for help and I got kicked off the web site for being under age the app is for people to not feel so alone now that I have no one to talk to.Version: 2.0.19
✓ Wish there was more space for peopleOverall love the idea but my problem was all the groups I would of liked to be in where all full.Version: 2.14.2
✓ You gotta pay to use thisHere I am, trying to grow, and find an ad for this app. “WOW!” I think to myself, “What a great idea!” Peers that I can talk to, get advice from, and I can even help others where I’m able to? Awesome. I’m super excited, eager to reach out- which I’ve never had the courage to do in this sort of fashion; and whabam! They sneak in the billing after making you go through and mark what specific areas you need help with. For the creators to charge money to use an app as important as this, is disappointing. The creators, and I hope they’re reading this, are garbage. My advice: go find a subReddit specific to what you want peer help with. It’s basically the same idea but free and people are genuine, they actually care. And they won’t try to take your money..Version: 2.41
✓ How can I speak to someone without subscription?I have gotten this app before and use to be able to speak to people but now it looks like I need a subscription... I’m wondering how I can talk while not paying! Thanks.Version: 2.52
✓ I was a committed helperI used to be a committed helper in the wisdo community, and at one point was asked to become a ambassador. I left and tried installing it 6-8 months later. Anyways I don’t understand where you are going with payments. I’m not sure if the system has changed since I can’t view unless I pay. I would not use this app anymore if I have to pay to help other people through your app. That seems pretty low, and definitely not something I ever want to be a part of. It doesn’t align with my morals. I hope the people who create groups get paid for it and everyone who actually helps people. I’m sorry but this feels like a slap in the face. I wish you luck in whatever it is you’re trying to achieve, sort of. There is a lack of transparency with categories being locked. It’s as big of a mess as my review because the lack of transparency in the app doesn’t allow me to properly rate Wisdo unless I pay. Clearly I won’t be doing that and will search for better alternatives. They are out there..Version: 2.44
✓ Not what I’m looking forGreat app, but it makes me very upset that there is not option for recovery from abuse or just abuse in general..Version: 2.39
✓ Potentially Decent.I was excited to give this app a try; however, after trying it out, I have noticed that there are a lot of services within the app that are blocked and require a fee. This review is based solely on the fact that they call this a “free” app, but the free version isn’t worth using. Therefor, I have rated this app 1 star due to the fact that the creators thought that it would be effective to promote the app and block the user from continuing without paying. Make the app “pay to download.”.Version: 2.21.1
✓ Why?It ALWAYS says that the server is “temporarily unavailable” when I try to sign up..Version: 2.26
✓ NoGo get payed advice .. I was friends with a few guides and it really was a terrible experience ! Needs more professionalism.Version: 2.0.23
✓ Review WisdoI love the way that App was designed . It’s so amazing and beautiful . But there is a terrible... some communities, you need to pay the plan ... I know all the money is given back to the community and etc... and total agree . Sure the advices it requires the plan , but the com communities no . Imagine how many people want to join a PTSD community they can’t . Imagine how many people your not saving . Don’t get me wrong this app is just amazing . But I think the communities should be all free ..Version: 2.50
✓ DissapointedJust gained popularity and they started charging everyone, so sad you wanna take advantage of people when they’re going through a hard time..Version: 2.44
✓ Used to be okayNotice how most reviews were positive until recently? That’s because within a slew of other issues that arose on the app, they began exploiting those struggling with their mental health for £££. Its a shame as i found the app pretty helpful when it first started, until being manipulated by a moderator in private chat to admit i was underage as id posted about help from abusive homes. I was then immediately banned with zero help or advice. Came back a few years later in need of support to find they now charge after advertising as free, yet the communities are still largely unmoderated. High potential, awful execution..Version: 2.77.1
✓ Strong Bias amongst UsersI was curious to as the wisdo buddy system worked after my first assigned buddy had left me on read. (No way to even get a new buddy if they never respond) After some testing by my friends & I. With 8 accounts in total, we found that wisdo buddies are more likely to ignore/leave you on read if you’re a guy. However if your profile picture and profile is set to female, 8/10 they will answer you constantly. The user interface of the app itself is okay for the most part, but not that user friendly. A few tweaks to how things appear on screen. As well as a few things implemented such as making sure the “wisdo buddies” aren’t only going to help girls they think are attractive. As well as pretty content monitoring, a lot of groups are filled with people describing the way they want to take their own life. Which as anyone knows, is most likely going to trigger someone with the mental health issues or struggles they would be on the app for in the first place. ~Echo.Version: 2.15
✓ App shows promise, but the people cause issuesI joined the Coping with Depression group to meet and bond with likeminded people, but a lot of the things they post are just horribly depressing. I haven’t been in this group for even ten minutes and I’m in such a horrible mood from seeing all these people stoke each other’s depression and continue to feed each other statements about how hopeless life is, how everyone goes away in the end, how some people just aren’t meant to live. I came to this Coping with Depression group to actually deal with my depression and try to get better, not become more disheartened and disillusioned than I already am. The guides and helpers make an effort to be uplifting, but all anyone else does is mope about and spew toxic depressive rants. It’s just heartbreaking and so awful on so many levels....Version: 2.72
✓ No protection from abusersThis is the WORST APP. You can’t block people so literally anyone can stalk you. Abusers literally use this app to prey on the vulnerable and the moderators DO NOTHING. Then, they ask sick people to become helpers, like that’s useful. Avoid this app like the plague..Version: 2.8.1
✓ What it should read is “You are alone.”App is more likely to make you kill yourself then actually help you. The moderators and community manager are extremely offensive and biased. If you’re male you have zero value on this app. Man bashing is okay on this app but telling a joke is extremely offensive even if it’s about your own illness. If you want to die, install this app. It’s highly encouraging of suicide and very passive aggressive. If you are not liked or deemed offensive your account will be banned. So by all means install. They don’t even pay their workers. It’s just volunteers and because they’re moderators themselves, they’re basically trolls who can get away with anything. Ultimate advice? Don’t install. Find any other app. Literally any app is better than this..Version: 2.16.1
✓ WisdoI came across this app on Facebook saying it would help with mental health or any struggles that you might be struggling with but in fact it’s lies if I could get this app is zero I would because no one there understood me I was new to it as well I opened up to one person and that person never understood me try to make out that I need to see a therapist when I didn’t key thought that she understood when actually she didn’t instead of making out she didn’t being honest she lied I try and tell me to go see a therapist or something like that when it’s not true they need to have staff members that know what they’re talking about and know what to do not just some random people who think they know what to do and what to say and how to do it please get some real people that know what they’re talking about otherwise it’s a waste of fricking my money and I’m not doing it.Version: 2.41
✓ Help shouldn’t CostI would love to give this app 5 stars but I can’t. There shouldn’t ever be a reason you should have to subscribe or make payments for these services. I understand that it costs money and time and effort and all that Jazz to make apps. However, this is free, unsolicited advice from everyday people. Not professionals. There may be some spread throughout the app but this is the generalized public. This is to get help in a way that is supposed to be more comfortable for people. Statistically speaking, people who live in the “middle class” and lower have higher rates of mental illness and higher rates of suicide. The lower you go in poverty level, the higher and higher suicide rates climb and the higher percentage of mental illness. I’m more than willing to bet that a fairly decent amount of people, probably 80% minimum struggle financially and are just trying to get help in one of the only ways they can afford to. I would highly HIGHLY suggest revisiting this option. I know that I can’t afford that extra money right now as every penny counts. Those who read this review it is a great app. Take advantage of the free trial. It’s worth it. But I would suggest writing low star reviews and hopefully the people who made this app will reconsider their fees..Version: 2.32.1
✓ I’m sure it’s good but I don’t have moneyI don’t have money to pay for an app and I get it’s because I’m a kid and you have to be 17 but I don’t have anyone to talk to they need to make one for kids.Version: 2.44
✓ WhyI tried to get the app but you have to be under 17 witch is dumb because some people like me are going through ruff times so these things are good for us.Version: 2.1
✓ No helpI would have rated this app but the manager forced me to delete this app bc I was having a meltdown and tried to go on it to seek help but she’s saying what I did was unacceptable. Don’t recommend this app for the sake of your well-being! There’s also trolls on there and get away with it.Version: 2.18
✓ Formerly 5 stars...I used to use this app a lot. I was an ambassador and had other labels. I’ve met some good friends on the app. I took a break and now have come back to find out it cost money!?! Honestly, this is not a health care service because no one on it is qualified and/or acting in a professional capacity. That being said, it’s absolutely absurd that they’ve done this when this app was a safe space for lgbtq individuals. I’ve spoken to dozens of young people in the closet terrified of coming out and now they’ll have to find another safe space? Guess we know what the developers what looking to do the entire time.....Version: 2.43
✓ I wanted it to be goodHonestly it seemed like it was going to be a great app but there are so many things. Like a subscription??? You can’t do anything without paying. Make it a payed app. Don’t give ppl false hope. Also it’s 17+ or you’re kicked off. These people don’t seem to realize that a huge age group that also needs support is 14-16. These kids don’t have money to spend every single month. It’s mostly the fact that all you can do is sign in and that’s it. There’s no other things that can be done without paying. Can’t even make a post or chat. Go anywhere else. This is not helpful. If you need money so bad make it payed. One time payment or something. Give us more to go off. Give us ads and let us pay to remove it. I don’t know. Don’t waste people’s time that are desperate for some sort of comfort or advice. Giving people false hope makes you the worst kind of person :/.Version: 2.39
✓ Pyramid scheme. NOT FREE. MISC. RANDOM CHARGES. EXPENSIVE. You get ignored after week charged $45After a week, the guides and supervisors won’t even read you messages. You see their activity and they only talk to new people. They make everyone peers right away so people with serious mental Illness are talking to the like, unsupervised, being ignored by the professionals. It costs $45, and they don’t tell you and a lot of people are left with a negative balance. They also charged me .98 for nothing. Never told me. Didn’t even know until I reported this app to App Store. After the first and second week, you will be ignored. It is slave labor, that we pay for. If you don’t pay, you lose your entire support system bc you can’t give out personal info. For this reason, people post they are more symptomatic. Then, their comments disappear. They create an illusion of community, but it is just a bunch of people in need of help who are being ignored and neglected, and becoming more symptomatic. The positive reviews are likely from NEW subscribers..Version: 2.107
✓ Stay away from this app they lie and take your informationThey claim they don’t take your information but they do in order to keep people who they don’t agree with from the app if you don’t believe me read other reviews from past times. They are hypocrites who say they believe in the best interests of the people but yet don’t give freedom of speech. Apparently in Israel where this company CEO states his app is from has a different definition of carrying for the people. Because this problem has been brought to his attention several times and the company refuses to fix the problem of guides instead they just let them do as they like. Later on this app will in fact fail because they don’t listen to the people. Apps always pop up this won’t be the first or last..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Can’t even sign up.I am 32 and I got a prompt as soon as I opened it telling me I couldn’t continue as I was not 17 yet. While I wish every day to be a young chicken again, I am not. I couldn’t even make an account..Version: 2.68
✓ TEENS need helpYou have to be over 17 to use the app although if found that teens are the ones who need the most help we can’t lie like we need help sometimes and our parents sometimes don’t wanna help us or we need someone who can actually relate to us instead of a counsellor who talks to you like your a baby please lower the age to maybe 13+ and please make this free I was excited to meet people to relate to but now I feel even more alone having to pay and lie about my age to get help.Version: 2.24
✓ BruhEverytime I go to sign up, it tells me something went wrong and kicks me out..Version: 2.39
✓ Do not get this app everI thought the same thing every one else did when they downloaded this app, that it can help with depression and anxiety and so on, but it was not good what so ever, and I’m warning others to please don’t even try this app, when I used the app I noticed the guides would ignore people, they would choose people to talk to and if they did not like you they would make it so that they had every guide gang up on you, it’s like a clang of bullies, and if some one disagreed with what the guide may have said, then that guide would remove that persons account completely, and if they did not do that then they would comment back in a very rude and abusive way, basically yelling at the individual that disagreed with the guide, and as soon as one guide said some rude things to the person that disagreed, well then the other guides would gang up on that one person, it broke my heart to see the guides doing such disgusting things, and the thing is you can’t block guides so you would just have to sit there and let these people yell in your face, once I deleted it for good, I noticed I started becoming more happy, for real all this app does is cause stress, and is just disgusting, I warned many people I know not to ever get this app, and I’m warning you please do not get this app..Version: 2.0.7
✓ AvoidI initially thought this was a great idea, but after using the app for five minutes I then deleted my profile and the app. There are helpers on there that have been through the problems and give advice but there are a lot of nasty, inappropriate and goading comments. This app being unmoderated could cause more harm than good. I wouldn’t call it a positive environment either as there was a lot of people needing help and not a lot of people giving advice, the whole thing unfortunately reads like the Facebook sob stories you find on competition posts... all doom, gloom and attention seeking. I can see the idea and the good intentions behind the app but the execution has just left it up to trolls and attention seekers to drown out the people who actually need help and support. Such a shame..Version: 2.14.2
✓ DisappointedThis is a good app, it really can help people, I usually download this app when I need to talk to someone about a problem I have nobody to go to, sadly this is no longer an app I can do that on, I don’t know what changed but this app is no longer free and now so many people are probably out of a helpful app that they really relied on because now there is a price to get help. This doesn’t effect me to much personally, but an app like this that is meant to help people that was free and actually helping people suddenly having a price, that’s drastic change and goes completely against what you are trying to do. I’m sorry I don’t have to be a Karen and write a bad review on a app cuz they changed something but this app was a place that many people needed..Version: 2.46
✓ Why pay to join more than one groupI used to have this app and I ended up getting a new phone long story short I used to be able to join multiple groups without having to pay to join more than one but now when I redownload the app I have to pay to join just two groups which is crazy why should I have to pay for what was advertised as free help for people to openly talk. Some people can’t afford therapy which I thought this app was for to get help with issues for free but having to pay for it I might as well start going to therapy and paying for that....update therapy can also be free like this app used to be I go to therapy for free because I was in the service but I can’t always make it to the hospital to talk to someone which is why I downloaded this app but after seeing it’s no longer free and you can only join like one group it seems pointless.Version: 2.41.1
✓ STEER CLEAR of this DANGEROUS app!!!I originally posted a 5* review, but have now seen the sinister side of this app. I discussed my experience of what triggers my anxiety (cynophobia = dogs), after being averse to the constant mugshots of dogs plastered on the anxiety forum; and asked people to tell me why dogs are so beloved to them. I was met with sheer hatred and group bullying by members, told that I should shut up by an ‘administrator’, and threatened by a ‘guide’ that I had breached the T&Cs and would be suspended if I carried on questioning why people loved dogs so much...yet the ‘guide’ could not tell me how I had done so when asked. Basically, I was ganged-up on & told to get off the app if I didn’t love dogs, even though 1 in 20 people suffer from the debilitating & traumatic symptoms associated with cynophobia. Please don’t engage with this disgusting app, as you may come out of it feeling 100 times worse. This app is moderated by lay people who are totally inappropriate to have such power: they have no formal qualifications to do so (yet I have a MASW) and use their subjective views and opinions to deal with mental disorders that require objectivity. This app has left me feeling even more damaged - STAY AWAY FROM IT!!!.Version: 2.14.2
✓ Did more harm than goodAt first I saw this app as an amazing idea, but some of the groups are so big, that when some people post they completely get ignored. Every single thing I posted was ignored. It just caused me more anxiety because I was already anxious enough about posting it and then literally no one would reply. Some of the guides don’t really seem to care about everyone and only pick specific people to interact with. I also believe that letting people who have been through things help others who are dealing with the same thing is a great idea, however, putting thousands of people together that are all currently dealing with anxiety or depression while they’re trying to help each other isn’t that great. It’s like the blind leading the blind. That’s probably why there are programs that pair someone with someone who has dealt with it or understands and can give advice, rather than someone currently dealing with it. Great idea but not executed properly. This app just caused me more anxiety due to the fact that no one ever replied to me..Version: 2.0.5
✓ 100% everyone against youUse another app. The guides on here aren’t there for you. They ban you if they don’t like you..Version: 2.14.2
✓ DisgracefulI’m utterly shocked that you have no free option. I have to get a ‘free trial’ or pay? I completely understand having subscriptions and what not, it is a business. However, I joined not knowing and I couldn’t even post one thing? You promote being there and having what people need, when I’m reality you don’t! Not even a small portion! I needed a small outlet, not only for my own problems with anxiety/depression/ocd but recently loosing a family member and having the constant worry another very family member will kill them selfs while I’m at work. I have a alright support group around me thankfully, but there’s only so much you can go over and talk with, without dragging them down too. I just thought is was disgusting you promote something, and not even have a small free side, even if it was make 10post’s or a limit to posts/groups a week, at least something to test out if you like it. Sorry it just really rubbed me the wrong way, and there is so many ways that they could get around thins but alas I don’t hold my breathe..Version: 2.86.1
✓ It’s not greatThat’s stupid. There’s not only 17+ who needs to talk..Version: 2.1
✓ Don’t download!I got the app over a year ago to deal with my PTSD and other issues. Everything was going perfect and at that time I would have rated it 5 stars but one day it kept kicking me off the app and logging me out. Keep in mind that I was an ambassador and I had routine check ins with people that I stuck to strictly. When I contacted HR about my issues I was informed that to be let back into the app I would need to pay a subscription fee. Don’t download this. It is horrible and some of the people on here are either really sketchy or just rude. I also should mention a guide once contacted me after I shared a post about my triggers talking about them to me and laughing at me. I’m disgusted 😡.Version: 2.55
✓ WellWisdo popped up as a add on another application, I decided to give it a try but all it does it clump you into a huge group and you can’t even track where your post goes..Version: 2.0.7
✓ Guides are to controllingI’ve posted certain things and they would get deleted for no valid reason. I’m not saying this out of anger by the way. It’s just the rules on this app are just way to strict; it’s insane.I’ve also seen other peoples posts get deleted for no reason as well. There was one person that was just venting about how depressed he was, he was just looking for support, that’s literally it, and then his post got deleted. I posted a link to a video and I asked the guide who deleted it, “What was wrong with the post? He said that there was nothing wrong with the post, it’s just that I didn’t explain what the post was about… Umm… Maybe if you watch the video then you’ll find out? Even then it’s not disturbing in anyway, it’s not violating any of Wisdo’s policies etc. If you’re going to delete a post, then please give me a valid reason that actually justifies deleting it. Don’t get me wrong, I think nearly everyone on this app are amazing caring people, but those guides are just ridiculous with the rules. On top of that, Ive been told to change my profile pic because it looks like I’m on the app to date people, and If I didn’t change my profile pic, then my account would be deleted. Huh? How would you know that I’m dating from looking at profile pic? Anyways, the guides have completely ruined my experience. This app used to be so good when it was free, even with all the trolls accounts on Wisdo. There used to be a lot of freedom on Wisdo (within reason). Then everything just went down the drain..Version: 2.93.1
✓ 💔This app doesn’t care about you. I have been permanently suspended twice for something. And I have seen people talk about the same thing. Instead of getting help I have been permanently suspended. Now I can’t talk to my best friend. And I have no one to confide in. But like they even care. I have sent emails and now they’re being ignored. This app hasn’t helped with my well being. It’s made it worse. Plus I got ignored so much on it whilst other people got help. There’s barely any professionals on here too. Disgusting app. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. I even stated I have now resorted to drinking because I have basically no support. And they still don’t care. I am absolutely disgusted with this. This was free to use years ago, and now you have to pay. What a joke. Not everyone has the money. Why go from being free to charging people? People shouldn’t have to be charged to be helped with their well-being. You can’t even pay weekly either - only every 3 months or yearly.Version: 2.109
✓ It doesn’t helpI don’t like it, and it won’t let me delete my account..Version: 2.1
✓ Limited TopicsI thought this would be awesome. I have been diagnosed with Thyroid cancer and thought here's a good chance to meet some others. But no, you cannot start your own topic or search for topics outside of the ones that someone has chosen. The only cancer in there is Breast Cancer. There's not even a generic "Cancer" option. You know, cancer, that thing one in three people alive will get. Yet you don't deem it of high enough importance unless you happen to get it in your breast?! It's a good idea with a poor implementation unless you meet the developers specific and very small understanding of what people in the world are suffering with. Open it up for custom topics or at least give a suggestion button! But how could you skip over all other cancers except Breast Cancer. I mean what about colon cancer? brain cancer? stomach cancer? lukemia? etc etc etc. I hope you take this advice on board. Quite disappointed..Version: 2.6
✓ My goodnessThe app itself is quite buggy and slow, but I can get pass that. I signed up to help and receive help if needed. I haven’t seen so many whiny narcissistic teenagers in my life! Some people really do need help and they’re hidden behind a pile of spoiled teens who have too many choices in life moaning about things that are completely irrelevant! If you ever feel down please try this app and read some of the messages, you’ll instantly feel much better about yourself..Version: 2.14.2
✓ No goodI went to this app to use as a source to connect and talk about some issues I struggle with that many people do on this app. It’s therapeutic to talk about something someone else is also experiencing. But this app has been nothing but negativity. People are starting to use this as a dating app or something. Asking for snapchats and numbers and even nudes.I got harassed by one of the “founders” for two reasons they couldn’t explain. My account was also locked for some reason. I can’t even get in. Its unprofessional, I didn’t even know who I was talking to and they made up a complete lie. They couldn’t tell me their relation to this app except that they were the “highest” person of contact. I noticed a lot of negativity as far as the chats and responses, some vulgar. Although there are countless amazing people on this app and tons of support, this app is DEFINITELY one I don’t recommend..Version: 2.28
✓ It was good at first 😬At first, this app really helped me out. But then I noticed as I went along that some of the guides would ignore people or disregard their situations. It’s like they are robots, they all seem to say the same thing. I haven’t met a genuine guide yet. Like for example, I had a situation going on with me and I reached out for help, and a guide kept questioning me like I was a suspect. The questions didn’t even have anything to do with what I was telling her. I’ve also tried to reach out to the community manager and she ignored me. :/ It was a really good app at first but none of these guides are professionals even tho it seems like they try to be. They don’t even know how to talk to people correctly. You’re better off talking to another user, who isn’t a guide. Also, there’s a glitch where sometimes people don’t even see your messages or what not. This app needs a lot of work but it’s okay I guess. UPDATE: ‼️ DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP ‼️ Once, you sign up. They know all your info (even your phone number) I’m honestly creeped tf out rn ‼️.Version: 2.0.19
✓ Terrible.My stuff gets removed after I post it no matter what I post. I’ve reached out to supervisors and guides and no one has replied. You have guides who are people going through very rough times who like to take their anger out towards you about something you’ve spoken to someone about and they themselves and no one else has complained, I even asked if it upset them and they said no. Just terrible. So upsetting as I was talking to a member of a local charity about this application, which was discovered and I was invited to the ambassador club very quickly and no one spoke to me from there. I also hear a shared owner often spams inboxes requesting ambassadors to share the app. So upsetting..Version: 2.10
✓ WisdoWisdo is an app with two sides... I would first like to start with the good side: Wisdo helped me a lot with my insomnia and is mainly good for sleep tips but as you have seen, the rating i have given is only 2 stars... this is because i ended up deleting the app due to the fact the hate i received was absolutely shocking and offensive! I got the app thinking it would help me with my phobias but instead i was not respected for who i was and was told to leave the app by a GUIDE... i found this hard to believe as these people are supposed to help you!!!! Also you have to pay... for me this is like being told you have to pay to have a voice. Thx for reading my review and i hoped it helps!.Version: 2.51
✓ The app is free, but to use it you have to pay?Tbh you’re making people pay to get some sort of support for their mental health which isn’t right. I’m on a low source of income and cannot afford this on top of the bills I already pay. This app is good in theory, but in reality it’s not much of a help, especially for young people who don’t have a job (teens) and students who may not have the money to pay. You should advertise the app as free then make people pay after. I was really hoping I could find something with people who actually KNOW what I’m going through and can empathise. It’s frustrating that you can’t get any mental health help anywhere with out having to pay some sort of fee. We already live in a world where mental illness support is not considered as something that you can have for free, I thought this app would be different but you’re just the same as all of the other companies who profit from people who are mentally ill and seeking help..Version: 2.33
✓ Doesn’t even work I hope it’s not a scamDoesn’t work can’t access anything at all after they took my phone number.Version: 2.9.1
✓ Used to be better.Two years ago this app was great. Now you get notifications for everyone that joins a new group or welcome posts take up majority of the threads. It is so excessive and unnecessary. I am so disappointed because I used to spend so much time on this app but now it’s just pointless notification after notification..Version: 2.79.2
✓ Downloaded the app a few times nowI’ve downloaded the app a few times and at one point I was on it for quite a while and trying to get better at helping others. First, I’ve downloaded it again as I want some friendship advice but I’ve seen that you now get charged for the app which shocks me! Why should you be charged for needing someone to talk to!? Second, straight away you have to pick topics and scroll for ages to click ‘been there’ or ‘there now’ when I just want to speak to someone! The topics are very limited so I’m quite disappointed really and a lot of the time I get paired with someone who doesn’t speak English too well and can’t help me. Lastly, it’s too overwhelming being a helper on there when you suffer with mental illness yourself. I love helping people and trying to give them advice but I find it so hectic when people are messaging me constantly for advice or to tell me they want to kill themselves! Where is the crisis part of the app with relevant numbers? There needs to be some down-time and support for helpers also. I thought it was a good app at first but looking back it’s not as helpful as I thought..Version: 2.32
✓ Playing with fireAt first I thought this was a brilliant idea but slowly I started to see the dangerous side of it. I don’t think enough concern and thought has gone into how this can actually in a backwards way be promoting harm rather than solving it. I am all for communities coming together and people helping each other, but I think we have to be careful not to glamourise and generalise mental illnesses as being the ‘norm’ and just another quirky label we can give ourselves. This app lets you do this. A lot of the questions asked in the groups to see if you ‘fit them’ are very generic and not medically correct. This needs to be stated. There is nothing stopping you from being in all of the groups and labelling yourself X, Y and Z. All without even going to a doctor. Surrounding yourself with people with all these different problems and labels and immersing yourself in them can actually make you worse. You become it and become engrossed with being the label this app has told you that you are.. I just think this needs to be a warning to people before they can join all these groups, to make sure they are know what they are getting into and are certain they ‘fit’ the group and have had a diagnosis. Otherwise people can become very ‘into’ being a label they may not actually be and ultimately people end up egging people on where it’s not needed..Version: 2.23.2
✓ InjusticeThe app is a really good concept. Unfortunately I can’t rate higher than 2 stars because the supervisor of the app is questionable. She banned me from the app because she doesn’t like the truth of what depression is and isn’t..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Don’t get this appThis app is a mess. Me and a woman had a misunderstanding and no one cursed or disrespected anyone. We ended up connecting and talking and nothing bad came from it. I apologized for coming off like I did cause you can only understand so much through text. So I get a message the next morning from a supervisor named isha talking about I violated guidelines. So I went and read them. None of my posts violated these guidelines. My profile picture is up so I strongly believe she was being racist and I replied to her with “bye, you’re bored leave me alone”. Definitely seemed to me as though she was bored cause I hadn’t even said anything rude to the woman I had spoke to. After I sent that the lady was bothered and messed with my account. Like explain to me how a app that’s supposed to help with depression, anxiety, etc. has people in charge that can just come and start saying whatever is disrespect to them and doing whatever with your account cause they don’t like what you said. That’s not going to help anyone especially when their racist. So refrain from getting this app if you don’t wanna have to deal with petty childishness and racism as I did..Version: 2.93.1
✓ Far too expensiveSeeing this app I thought I’d give it a try to get some help with my various health problems but it is far far too expensive I didn’t get to see who it was as it asked for subscription as soon as I chose what groups I would like to join I understand that they give 7 days free access but I didn’t want to get involved with the groups and then have to pay for the ongoing membership I cannot afford £50 odd pounds a year straight off or even the more expensive £73 a year if you pay by monthly a lot of people who have mental illness can’t work and every penny counts. I noticed that they are helping students with 6 months free what about those who don’t have the spare money at least a leading mental health charity helps those with a subsidiary of the membership..Version: 2.50
✓ Young Lives MatterHave you heard of Amanda Todd? No? Shocker because her story went crazy through out the world! She was bullied badly enough to take her life at FIFTEEN years old. You have your age set to SEVENTEEN years old which is not okay because younger people are in need of support... yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever. If you haven’t read about Amanda Todd, I would look her up on YouTube and watch her video..Version: 2.54
✓ No one can use other app to comment with otherWhen I was on this app I was going to put stop the usual and then I told him that I have a Snapchat never others because of my disability like high functioning autism but they make a law where if you violate you can’t do it out of whatever it is of the state so I do not like the app because people should have the right to Able to like tell them and I have apps so they can communicate with her because somebody will don’t have a problem but no they don’t allow that so if you go on this app please do not try to start this will not help you with people that have problems with you now if you need to talk so please do not recommend this app please so if you want to do this app you my guest this app is just not for you if you wanna buy ours find apps that will help you with if you need to talk to them because this app will not let them so please.Version: 2.23
✓ Most communities require paymentDon’t join unless you have $10 a month to spend on a forum app. There are very few communities that are free and hardly anyone in them..Version: 2.65
✓ ProblemRating it one because I have a major problem with the age requirement. I am under 17 but truly need this app for support, it helps me a lot. Me and my friend have already have been kicked off and we aren’t happy. We aren’t some children trolling others with mental illnesses WE ARE ONE OF THEM. I don’t think they should think that only 17+ can have the app for support, that’s bull. It would be nice if there was no age restriction, just keeping an eye on what people say to make sure they aren’t 10 year old trolls. I’m really upset because this app has helped me and my friend, that’s how we connected, and we are helping each other with our problems. I listen to him, he listens to me. If we can’t even be on the app, we’ll, we just straight up won’t use it, and our mental illnesses will get worse. Thanks a lot Wisdo. -under 17 year old ranter.Version: 2.0.18
✓ :(I didn’t get to test the app as i am under the age of 17, which i find really disappointing, I've recently been struggling a lot with things which a lot of people are pointing out anxiety, but i don’t want to say anything to my parents yet as they’ll say what they always say that ‘i’m being dramatic’ or ‘i’ll be fine’ so i haven’t really had a place to go except my friends but they won’t get it like others do because they don’t understand what goes on in my head, i felt like this app would make me feel some what better as people who get me will be here but as i’m too ‘young’ i can’t seek the help i feel like i need and want when you can’t really put an age stamp on these type of mental illnesses when you can get these at anytime as they are MENTAL ILLNESS you cannot help them. Just putting my thoughts out there🙁.Version: 2.9.1
✓ What happenedI couldn’t even sign up...so one star. Was looking forward to using this app too..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Sad ...It’s sad that you have to pay to talk to others people suffering out there. What if you don’t have the money but NEED someone to talk to? Not cool.Version: 2.58
✓ TRASHDon’t download this app, you have to pay. You guys are TRASH very TRASH, I need to pay to seek for help? Pathetic.Version: 2.35
✓ Was great until they started chargingI understand that things cost money to operate. I used to love this app because it was helpful to have a conversation suffering with depression, and anxiety. Now you can’t message or post without paying £5.99 per month? I find it quite astonishing that you can charge people to use a service when most people sharing experiences suffer with mental illness, are probably having money problems to start with, now need to pay to get a release or advice? I would understand a donation system, but monthly subscriptions? I’m out. Sorry. *edit* Please don’t give me a copy and paste response, it just shows the lack of user communication. Thanks..Version: 2.39
✓ Great until nowThis app was actually kind of helpful, when I needed advice one of the helpers or guides was actually really good. However, when it came to talking about something good that happened to me, I was told I was violating the rules and it self promotion had to be taken down because I posted my blog site. I understand rules but not being able to talk about something good amongst all the darkness is kind of sad, people should be able to celebrate getting better but instead I was told to find a different app to talk about my issues on where I can post my blog..Version: 2.26
