Review summary

The app offers anonymity, a supportive peer network, and real-time human interactions with features like AI letters and time capsules. However, reviews repeatedly note monetization and billing issues, heavy ad gating, uneven engagement, and safety/technical problems (minors on 18+ app, login/data loss). Overall it shows potential for mental-health support but struggles with reliability, safety controls, and transparent pricing.

Pros

Anonymity and privacy that lets users vent without revealing their identity
Supportive, empathetic community that helps others and can boost mood or hope
Real-time interactions with live people rather than automated responses
Useful features such as AI-generated letters, time capsule letters, and customizable letters (plus safety options like a block button)
Basic usage is free with optional paid features, offering a low-friction entry point

Cons

Paywall and billing issues: reports of being charged after canceling, and marketing claiming free usage that isn’t accurate
Ad-driven friction and gating: long ads or required ads to read more letters, which hurts the experience
Inconsistent engagement: many posts get reactions but few or no replies, making it hard to get feedback
Technical/account problems: users encounter log-in problems, data loss, and trouble recovering access or letters
Safety concerns: presence of minors on an 18+ platform and potential unsafe interactions, raising safety/privacy concerns

2026-08-27	zy*****	Cool concept in theory, but deleted as soon as the bait-and-switch began telling me I can’t continue with the app without a free trial. We shouldn’t have to pay money for something that is basically the 2020s version of PostSecret or Whisper.

2026-08-24	Te*****	I am really liking this app. You have to pay for it to get better things like write more frequently and see other people messages. Other than that people message you on your post and up lift up. You can also add them as a friend and be the first to see what they post. I really do recommend this app.

2026-08-24	li*****	I used to be on this app all the time. writing responses to people and trying my best to be anonymously helping others while sometimes venting myself. Everything used to be free. I could read 3-4 notes a day and reply to them then make my own and wait for responses. No I have to wait a day to read a second note?? As well as the fact that an ad right after reading one?? This is incredibly greedy and this app used to be incredible. I hate what it’s become

2026-08-23	Bx*****	Someone on this app told me very mean things on this app. This should be taken seriously. I seriously thought there was something wrong with me. I literally spiraled the whole day thinking about the response I got from this user named Trukfit. I suffer with mental health problems. I didn’t think this would be bad. So I’m typing this review because I’m genuinely so upset. I have so many things going on my life and I genuinely thought this app would be a safe space for me 😔

2026-08-21	dj*****	This app used to be five stars but it sucks now. You used to be able to draw, add music, read as many letters as you want, and kinda have an anonymous friend for free. This app is greedy and plays an add right after reading ONE letter. The limit is two now and you have to pay to unlock more. This app used to be fun and FREE!!!
