Girltelligence

Love Girltelligence! It’s a safe and welcoming community that allows teens to seek help, advice, and honestly anything without being judged. The responses girls get are thoughtful and helpful. I love that I can help and be helped when needed.

A beautiful space with a sense of community. Thank you to the founders for such an amazing experience!

Overall, I would give this app a three out of five. There are two major factors for my rating; usability and social responsibility. The app helps young women that are entering or currently in their adolescence, 11 to 21 years of age (the youngest allowed to join is 9 years based on the app store) to have a safe space where they can chat with other girls their age or ask for advice from older women. This app overall is easy to use, is very interactive, and has a variety of topics from love and romance, girls in steam, social justice, to politics and policy. I would have used an app similar to this one when I was in high school. With all being said, there is a major concern that comes to my mind as a woman, how do I know I am actually to the person they actually say they are? This app does not verify that you are either identify as female or the age you say you are. Individuals are able to share their personal social media accounts and you can privately message others. I can see this app potentially being used as a form for older adults to lure and groom young women. I believe it is not suitable for the age range they are marketing it towards. As someone who navigated the internet as an adolescent without parental control, I can see how this app can be a safe space for young women but I can also see the danger in it.

Every time I open this app, I see that girls of all ages experience the same things as I do. I didn't use to have many girl friends, and I used to feel so alone in certain aspects of my life. Girltelligence reminds me that I am not alone, I have an amazing supportive sisterhood at my fingertips. I know that someone is always there for me to celebrate with, to rant with, to learn with, and to grow with.

I love this app! Everyone is so supportive!

I love having a platform to communicate with other girls! It’s really nice to be able to help and be helped by people who I otherwise would never meet or talk to!

Girltelligence is so inclusive and such a great environment for teens. Finally an app where girls are able to support girls without the unwanted competitive nature of social media!

Amazing. Super welcoming and supportive community. Somehow it’s made so you can post your own problems and read others in a way you don’t feel is bringing you down. There’s also a lot more than just problems. People ask for book or movie recommendations, ask after basic life tips, inspire others, etc. It’s fairly active too! The only real problem is that the look of the app is one of those that’s “so simple it’s complicated”. The screen appears really cluttered because of how much space things take up. Other than that, this app is excellent!

This app has big female energy!! It is a truly safe space full of advice, opportunities and sisters waiting to connect. Life as a woman can feel difficult and isolating sometimes, but this app is providing women with a community that I didn't even realize we need! We are all in this together ladies 💓

I love using Telle! I find great advice on here about things I never even thought to ask. It has made me realize so many things that girls and women share in common with one another. I’ll pop on and check out funny content or go there to ask questions and get a ton of feedback on things without feeling embarrassed. Two thumbs up
