Student feedback isn’t just a box to tick; it’s the fuel that drives our wellbeing app’s evolution. From the moment we started capturing their thoughts, feelings, and needs, we knew we were tapping into something transformative. Because students don’t sugarcoat things - they’re raw, honest, and sometimes even a little rebellious. Their voices shape our platform, influence our direction, and push us to continuously evolve. When students speak, we listen. And in their words, we find the insights that shape better experiences and stronger support systems for all.
Based on extensive feedback, we’ve distilled the core themes and benefits of our platform, highlighting what matters most to our users. Here’s a closer look at the insights from student feedback, organised to reflect the aspects that resonate most deeply.
