Empath

Upon installation it immediately prompts for a phoneline verification, with the country extension locked as +1. Looks like this isn’t actually an international app. Shame.

I click get started. It asks me me for my phone number. I insert my number and click verify. The app repeatedly tells me number can’t be identified.

Won’t even recognize my phone number to get anywhere in the app

When I download the app and then open it it’ll ask for my phone number I put my number in and it says try again

I’m using WiFi and it can’t verify my phone number. 😢

This app is a fantastic concept but the whole point is to encourage people to empathize with each other right? Well good luck doing that when ALL COMMENTS CUT OFF AFTER LIKE 20 CHARACTERS and there is NO way to know the other person’s full message. There’s zero customer support so I have no way of reporting this to the developers, so I just hope they can fix this soon because I really think this app could be something great.

I love this app because I have finally a place to vent. What I really wish the app had is a chat inside the app instead of using the phone number because not all people put that information in/want to be called or texted by their number

I love the concept of being able to post my feelings on a platforms that’s meant for it is nice but I wish it have more emotion options or even be able to combine emotions cause it feels like it’s a little small on the choices

I like the purpose of this app and the look of it is nice, however... 1. It does crash after a couple minutes which is a little frustrating, it’s not that big of a deal though. 2. You do have to give a phone number and location which is a bit worrying and if someone were to try zooming in close enough they can see your street name and where you are on that street clear as day. So much for being anonymous :/.

If you can figure out how to continue zooming in even after the app wants to draw back, you can see the exact location of someone (a user’s house and what street it’s on). Not good!!! 😱 Also, there isn’t a way to delete an account. Navigating the app is odd and not easy. Luckily I never posted anything. Definitely won’t be using it.
