Hi! My 16-year-old daughter has asked me to download the app "TBH" on her iphone (only I have the password to do that, which means she has to submit her request to me for my approval). I'm not familiar with the app. Ive "googled" it and researched it a little, but I wanted to see if any parents have kids who use this app, and what do you think? Pros and cons
I look forward to your feedback

my kids HAD it - it can be VERY hurtful - even if it's not supposed to be

my boys removed the app after people were just being nasty to be nasty to others.
My 13 year old son has it. So far, it's cute. I haven't seen anything inappropriate come across. It will give a silly statement ("friend who makes you laugh the most") and they're all g-rated statements/questions. Common Sense Media's review is pretty accurate. Check that out for more info.
Doesn't the app store have reviews? Just go on her phone and read them. You won't get many answers here as this isn't really a tech/consumer site.
My only concern would be they access and invite your contact list - and also your school location (in order to invite people from your school).
That kind of thing always makes me weary - personally.
As long as they control the questions asked and nothing inappropriate is asked, may be harmless. It really depends on how well they monitor it. I wouldn't like to see inappropriate questions like "Have you ever. .. (something inappropriate)..".
My kids do not use it.
That comes from instagram and the kids playing TBH there. I don't know about the app, but on instagram it was cruel.
