Sincerely - Off My Chest

The concept of this app is just so meaningful. It helps to cope with things wether it’s ranting/venting, advice, distraction or simply telling about your day. You can share anything anonymously and there will be people there for you. It makes you feel like you’re heard and not alone. The only disadvantage is only being available for IOS and the limit of sending 1 letter a day. Guess it teaches some patience as well.

I love this app! You can help other to reply to their letters and even write your own letters.

I like this app a lot and I’ve used for a while now, but new updates added the opportunity to share other people’s letters, which I find disgusted if I’m honest. Also, the app is based a lot around levelling up and getting points by writing letters back, which results in people just replying ‘ok’ or ‘rip’. And that makes a lot of people feel even worse. But as I said, great app.

This app is so wholesome. It’s designed for you to share anonymous messages to get advice, support or whatever you prefer and you can do the same for others. The genuine care that radiates from the replies you get is so nice! Support people all over the world :) (I do suggest you actually reply to letters, bc that is the whole idea of the app)

this app is so fun!! connecting with strangers anonymously and getting advice on problems your dealing with, anything is possible. it works so great and there’s incentive to come back everyday with a streak you can build up. it doesn’t feel forced and i love opening my app to see if i got any replies on my query if the day. you could totally use this as a diary bc you can also reread your old prompts you wrote. once again i love this it’s such a nice way to connect.

This app used to be for everyone but they changed it for 18 and older. I understand why they may have done that but also its not right. I was under 18 when they implemented that and removed me from the app. Theres lots of kids who are under 18 and needed a place to vent. For me this was that place and it helped me. But after that i did everything i could to get relogged in. Its just not what it used to be. Its a great app but theres other people with many age ranged that need help. Not just 18+.

Greedy, aggressive margins. Each user costs them pennies a month and they want $32/mo. Ruins any good will they have with their product and mission

I think this app has something good and I’m glad it’s done something for others that I didn’t seem to get out of it. It doesn’t really feel like I’m exchanging letters with anyone, more like I'm getting overwhelmed by negativity. I know it’s the point to get things off your chest, and that’s fine but I wish it there was more of a standard for how letters are written. Despite being an app for 18+, I’m finding a lot of young people on here and it’s not in my best interest to be pouring out to 14 year olds.

I used to use this app literally every day, like my daily streak was 200+ until I finally ended it in June. I loved that the app was perfectly functional without a subscription, and there were no ads. I also loved the penpal dynamic! It was super fun to write little tidbits about ourselves back and fourth, creating friendships. But as of recently, the developers decided to flood the app with ads and pop-ups that were just so unnecessary. This turned from a safe space, to a desperate cash grab and honestly that’s really disappointing. Plus, I’ll admit, the premium subscription is amazingly pricey.
