2026-06-24	el*****	This app has so much potential that it should be available for youth under 18. There are so many resources I wish I had when I was still in high school. It may be a good app to replace doom scrolling with. Think of it as Instagram but for a specific community. It’s a nice space to explore new things/places, create art, read stories aloud, and hang out with community.

Being able to talk to others who have gone through exactly what I have gone through has really shown me that I’m not alone in this world and I’m thankful for the app for giving me this opportunity to connect with others.
