iPhone App is Now Available!
Good news! The 7 Cups of Tea iPhone app is now available. We've been working on this for months! BIG special thanks to Cris and Benny for all of their hard work. Also, special thanks to Ryan B. for design consultation. Very big thanks for our mentors that helped with beta testing and feedback : ). And huge thanks to our amazing team of translators that have helped us with both the iPhone app and the Android app!
A few quick housekeeping notes. If you have been using a beta version, please delete it and upload the new version. Additionally, if you like the app (and I hope you do!), please consider leaving us a strong review. Apple uses reviews to determine how strong an app is. If we get a number of good reviews, then we'll be able to reach more people!
If you can download the app and try it out, then I'd also love to hear your feedback. Please share it here!

@GlenM, or anyone who has found it, is there a direct link to finding the app in the Apple App Store? I can't quite find it.

Downloading now!
Thank you Chester!!!
Initial impression: Feels simple and easy to use. However, I don't see any controls to have alerts pop up on the iOSnotification bar. IMO something to look into adding for a future update to the app.
The alerts should auto post to Nav bar below and icon. Is that what you are talking about? Glad it feels simple and clean :)
I mean the iPhone notifications bar, e.g. when you pull down from the top of your screen, you get e.g. your calendar, reminders, weather, etc. With other apps like Facebook, I can set it so I get alerts when I get a post on my wall,etc. I'd love to see notifications here when I get a chat response, etc. from 7 Cups of Tea.
Oh okay, thanks for clarifying. I'll research this!
Compared to using the mobile version of the site, the app is significantly less cumbersome and awkward to use. Typing in general, e.g. replying in chats or forums, is no longer a painful experience, which is probably what I appreciate most about the app.
Thanks! Yes we really want to make the app a joy to use :)
Omgosh i just downloaded the app and its so awesome!
So so much better than using the mobile site!
Thank you! If you love it and are comfortable, then please give us a review :). How would you compare the mobile vs app on scale of 1-10?
Well, id definitely say a 10, cz the mobile version of the site was amazing too, but a littledifficult to use! Compared to that, this is way better!:D
And yeah, i'll definitely write a review:)
@silentlistener97, thank you for leaving a review!
Does it work for the Ipad? So excited
Indeed it does!
Tryingto find it right now 😄
On it right now and I have to say I am rather impressed, well done to you all.
I will definatlywrite a review after I have used it in a chat situation and given it a good test run
Thank you
Thank you Tina! Does it display okay on your iPad? The sizing is off for me.
Seems to be ok, a few thingsnot on here which are normally on the site but thats to be expected.
Just been in the listener chatroom and that worked great.
So far so good 😀
Awesome!
Is this going to be optimized for 6/+ ? :)
We'll definitely work on it. Does it seem to be working okay on it now?
It's really small!Fine on 5s and iPad Air tho. Looks good.
@spoinks, so it doesn't scale up to fill the screen?
Yes. Big black bars on around the app itself
@spoinks, so it doesn't scale up to fill the screen?
We'll definitely work on it. Does it seem to be working okay on it now?
We'll definitely work on it. Does it seem to be working okay on it now?
Has it been done with Android yet, or no?
Not yet but soon!
When will it be available on iPad ?
It is available on iPad now :)
When is it gonna be available for Android devices ?
Hopefully in the next 3 weeks!
Thank you, yay!!!! The application looks really good, designed in a very pleasure way. I've found some issues though, I would like to share on this forum.
Russian translation on the preview posters isn't really accurate. Here I will post the original sentences and the translation below.
1. FREE, anonymous, and confidential conversations with trained active listeners. CONNECT INSTANTLY
2. Chat at home or on the go
3. Get support from multiple listeners
4. Get support from our community forum
5. Find your ideal listener. Search by language, issue, or country.
6. Want to talk to someone?
Corrected Russian.
1. "Бесплатные, анонимные и конфиденциальные разговоры с обученными активными слушателями. СОЕДИНЯЙТЕСЬ МОМЕНТАЛЬНО" (НЕМЕДЛЕННО is usually meant to be imperative and can be considered as an order, haha).
2. " азговаривайте дома или в дороге".
3. "Получите поддержку от различных слушателей".
4. Translated correctly.
5. "Найдите своего идеального слушателя". In "Поиск по языку, проблеме, или стране" delete the highlighted comma.
Also, it's somehow impossible to post on the forum, because I can't see the input characters, the same as on the login form.
Chats are great!
Thank you, @GlenM and the developers, you did a nice work!
