Update: It's gotten worse. Now also locked out on Android. Receiving constant "test notification" pings on Android all day. Less than zero stars!---- Constantly locks out on ios. Had to download to android. Entire service is glitchy. Couldn't use laptop due to zero connection with workplace sso. My therapist is great though-- the only reason I keep using the app. After reading other complaints I'm now concerned about receiving erroneous charges. This app causes anxiety where there was none.

The app didn't properly save my emergency contact info, so after I completed my intake I was told I was still being matched with a provider. This continued for a couple of hours before I tried to add a note to the still being matched notification. At that time I was directed to complete my intake all over again, which then allowed me to book an appointment with a provider. Terrible experience getting started. Sure hope providers are more functional than the app.

The app itself is okay. Minimal but functional. There's room for improvement. The service is serving a need that a lot of people have but otherwise wouldn't have access to for many reasons. Not every provider (therapist) is great. But good providers do exist. The search for a good provider can be frustrating and take time, but it is worth it. There are documented issues with the app based therapy business model (in general not just Talkspace), but don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.
