About Counsel - Real time advice

Counsel is a social app that lets you post questions to seek unbiased advice and opinions. Have any problem in life? Ask helpful people and answers in real time. Also, you can privately chat with them to seek deeper responses.

A single human being may not have enough wisdom and experience to make the best decisions but if you combine the wealth of knowledge that mankind has gained as a species, we can make better decisions which will lead to a better life. Counsel is an attempt to bring back that human touch that is slowly disappearing with the integration of more and more technology in our lives. We urge you to not just seek help but also to share your experiences with others and help them.

We aim to be the global platform for emotional wellness.
We reward you for helping other people. You can either chat with them or leave a comment.

Feeling low or depressed? Talking to supportive people can help. Sometimes, all we need is an assurance from someone but we may not always have someone around us to give us that support. Counsel is a community where you can seek advice and answers from people and also help others with your own wisdom and experience.

You can think of it like a new age and personal Yahoo answers or Quora. Some of the community members have pursued masters education in psychology, psychotherapy and counselling. What's more? You can post as well as chat anonymously so that you can discuss your problems and life issues without having to reveal your identity.

If you have any feedback or issues with the app, you can email us at counselapp@gmail.com and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

PLEASE NOTE : This app is not a suicide helpline. If you are feeling suicidal we suggest you to reach out to helplines in your area and your friends and family. We are not responsible or liable for any response given on the platform. Please remember to apply your good judgement.

I love this app! It's a great feeling to be able to talk to people that have no idea who u are and get great honest opinions! U don't feel judged! I have even made a friend on here! She doesn't know who I am but that is great because I feel like I can share alot more with her! The app is simple and has the option to talk to others privately! And u can also give advice to others that u don't know and feel like they are more open to ur help! Great stress reliever to be able to help others thru thier problems!

This app has the perfect concept for anyone seeking advice. Such a great community is right here helping each other out. It is truely heart warming to know that such an app exists with such support from its users. I am extremely impressed with the developers of this amazing app. You have managed to create and maintain a safe place for anyone needing any type of help. There may be minor bugs, but that doesn't take away from the concept and funcinality of this amazing creation. Thanks for your hard work.

Love it and i love helping people. But i have found one problem. The limit on questions. I know its to prevent spam content which is fine. Limiting questions per day is fine. But i feel as if the monthly limit should be removed. Because some people need advice or just to vent more often than you allow per month. If you removed that part of the limitation i will rate 5 stars again.

Thank you so much for the fix about the login again! I do have to ask for another fix though. Whenever I want to delete one of my own questions, it won't allow me. It says there's an error. Are you able to fix this?

I had this app downloaded a year ago on an old phone but after a few days it would say no internet connection. I liked the app and thought I'd give it another shot. I have had it for less that 48 hours and is already not letting me log in due to the same old connection.

Keeps crashing and telling me to check my connection when I have a perfect connection. I can't get to my profile. The update says there were crash fixes but no there wasn't. It always crashes. Whenever I get a notification and I click on it, instead of directing me to the post, it crashes. ALWAYS. I can't even navigate between different posts without it crashing.

I would've given this app 5 stars if I knew how to edit my name! I signed in with Facebook and this app decided that my REAL name was too big for it's liking and chopped off a couple of letters from it, making it look dumb. Now I can comletely understand if you have a limit of characters for names, but there must be a way to change it so that I can just give my initials or my pet name or just my first name. I've been searching for a way to change my name for sometime without success. Any help would be appreciated.

It does the bare basics but many UI things are not there or don't work well: - if you tap a name in Chats, it copies the text ro clipboard instead of opening the profile of the person that messages you. - there is NO WAY to open to profile of someone that messages you. - profiles are empty: theres no age, no bio, just their name and numbers of answers and questions. - you cant tap on someones answers and questions on their profile to help them out in return. - no filter for age, .... etc etc.

I love this app I am able to be me and not feel judged, people get me and support me for who I am...so glad there is an app like this one because it's a way to say what I really feel and not feel like such a loser. Gives me a better view of who I really am when sharing questions and stories that others understand or have been through and are able to uplift one another. I feel safe opening up for once.

It worked fine for a bit but now it keeps saying it can't connect to the internet, and it's not because of my wifi or data because I checked (went to google and looked something up) what's happening???

After few times, it started showing problem with internet connection and then it won't open anything. I mean, if its an internet problem, then i shouldn't be able to access anything on my phone, but that is not the case.

I have just joined and posted a few things and my rank automatically goes up. What if the advice didn't help? what if I have posted horrible things? You look at the "leader board" and you think oh this person must be logical and empathetic only to find out that they are trolls fix the rankings to be based on people liking the advice. -also people are allowed to regret comments said in anger fix it so that you can delete them also A REPORT USER FUNCTION TO GET TROLLS BANNED OR AT LEAST SOME ADMINERSTRATIVE OVER SITE. that's all.

It gives good advice but it won't let me open up my comments when I put up a question. Please help I would like to know what was said back to my question

S70%
by S####:

Ranks seem to automatically increase whenever a comment is typed despite of content.perhaps there can be different leader boards one for activity like posts, one for up votes in order to try to sort really good advice from just people who reply alot.

I love the idea, but some people are rude, and a way to block them would be perfect.

Think it's a good start an few people who truly need help it'd good place to ask things

I kind of like it. When u do not know who to tell ur problem is, well this is a perfect app. I love it when all the worlds hear the problem without knowing who we r n try the best to solve it.

S70%
by S####:

I really like this app it has great people who care but i think maybe you could add different areas or like categorys too like a vent section to help regulate what every one sees everyone can see other post and not just the most recent also im not a person who belives in god but i dont "bash" other religions either so if you make a column for other religions that would be cool i actually have a few ideas that you all may like if your open minded and all let me know
