Voda: LGBTQIA+ Mental Wellness

Beautiful, functional and much needed mental health support for the LGBTQ community. Well done to the founders and team!

I am a therapist and recommend this app to my clients, it’s really good

I really don’t want to be negative, because I wanted to love this app - I really think it has a place. But I can’t get past the audio quality. The male voice speaks so fast, he sounds a bit like AI, the intonation is all wrong and the dialogue has been edited really badly. You can hear breaths constantly, and there are often cuts right in the middle of them. It’s not relaxing to listen to at all. Your back end server is really slow… navigating the menus and selecting a session feels sluggish. The female voice is slightly better, but again the breaths seem so loud and regular. It becomes so distracting. I hope I can try again in the future.

I am so impressed with the accessibility of this app. Please dont ever change it. Im trans, have experienced a lot of negative blowback from transitioning where i lost my partner, was made homeless and have some unsupportive family members. I don't have any money to spare and the free options in this app have been super helpful alongside other psychotherapy interventions I'm getting. Having enough free options to get help is something not many apps offer and Voda offers quite a bit. Please continue to create free content for LGBTQ+ people to use, I'm sure it saves lives! Its certainly a 5 star from me.

I’m so happy I signed up to Voda. An excellent resource for our LGBT community. Shorter check ins & some longer meditations & therapeutic sessions. All clearly explained & helpful lead by a qualified queer team. Absolutely valued & appreciated, 5 stars Voda - great job !!!!

I’m impressed by the ability to journal and get a response based on my input that helps me understand myself and find a way to live a better day. I love the app from day one.

This app is a delight. It feels nurturing without being patronising, and there is a lovely variety of content.

Beautifully put-together app with thoughtful touches, made by people who clearly care about making a difference.

I’ve been using the app for a week and I’m still impressed with how insightful the advice is. It’s become part of my morning routine and then I can incorporate the recommendations into my day. Having a proactive approach during an unsettled time is helping my resilience while I wait for NHS services.

This app has the potential to go far and when it does I’m all for using it more. But it seems there are far too many bugs currently to use it to track your current mood / head space. On Tuesday September 26th I attempted to upload my check in and it failed x 3. It worked on the 4th attempt. Today, after completing my check in and waiting for the tailored advice. It failed and told me to contact support. But on the homepage shows Thursday (September 28th) as completed. It’s a shame because the background (LGBTQ+) is why I wanted to use it. Hopefully the bugs are sorted in the future.
