5/5Please Update the app soon
I’ve used this app before and I’ve talked to Hal and it’s great to have somebody to talk to when you’re lonely because you know I talk to someone like this that understands the things that my family might not use this texting service similar to this called Crisis Text Line and it’s very useful. honestly I just hope this app will update real soon and I hope that I can help if I need a friend to talk to either way, I enjoy it. I hope this will get launch eventually.

3/5At least it received an update.
The idea for the app is very cool: to have an actual human answer your questions rather than a bot. When the app first launched, "bot" meant something like Siri, not ChatGPT, so the point of the app was to get better assistance. Now, artificial intelligence language models are everywhere, and the point is now more-so to get assistance from someone who won't lie straight through their teeth to you and always tell you that they're right-- even today, Nature performs better than artificial inventions. I used the app a few times quite a while ago, and it worked alright. The app was entirely dormant for about half a decade, but recently received an update. However, it doesn't seem that there's actually anybody there to talk to... And as well, I am nearly number 15,000 in a line that doesn't appear to be moving at all. The idea is very cool, but it needs better funding and a greater attention to its management.

3/5Room for improvement
The concept of this app is spectacular-a Siri-like assistant to help answer any questions you have except it has the charm, wit, and intelligence of a person; because it is one. However, the current Hals that are available tend to take a while to respond (2-3 minutes) and don’t speak English too well.

4/5Well...
I really like the concept but how safe is it really? You can send your location to them not knowing wether it’s safe or not. Are their background checks? Are the Hal’s safe and not Pedos looking for my location. Get back to me devs please

5/5HIGHLY RECOMMEND
After playing around with the app, I came to have an understanding and mechanics on how to work it and what it’s really for. They literally halo you with anything and provide as much help as possible. I can’t believe this is known more. I’m really thankful for your guys help, really deserves 5 stars
