Looking for an app to help you out with the daily grind? We’ve got you! These are the apps you’re looking for.

VENT

Do you have days when you feel like you might explode while trying to cope with an insane world? Well, then this could be the app for you. Some people don’t get what it means to vent, so when you go to them, they give you solutions and logic … which isn’t always what you want. Vent allows you to connect with others who will listen, support, advise and even make you laugh. It even has an emotion slider that will allow you to tap into the resources that those feeling the same way as you have to offer. And it is colour co-ordinated! An app that lets you release your ‘crazy’ in a safe, non-judgemental space sounds like a good fix for an everyday problem. Available on Android and iOS

HEADSPACE

An added bonus is that their guided sessions are short, meaning that they are easy to slot into any free space you have in the day.
