Loqui this time last year...
This time last year I was celebrating having the app icon Loqui on my phone. It wasn't functional, we weren't able to connect calls or message between our 300+ users like we are today. At that time we were just on the Sign Up or Sign In screen, it wasn't even accepting the phone # or email to sign in. But I had a blue and yellow app on my iPhone that said Loqui Listening and I was so proud. That was so meaningful and where the app is now after launching in January is so meaningful to me. The application Loqui came from understanding there was a deep need for people connecting with other people when they need someone to talk to. We live in such a connected world, yet millions of people feel profoundly lonely; nearly 1 in 2 people say they've felt depressed and alone. From 2019 - 2023 I was a top Listener for an application where I first learned of Listening as a Service. I put myself "online" and strangers called in and started talking about their deepest and darkest secrets because the anonymity. Support for that application went away and I desperately started working on designing, developing, creating, testing and launching Loqui Listening. Our application Loqui launched January 2025 after working with a talented development team in Dubai. They took my desire, my drawing and my dream to make an app connecting people with other people so they are not alone and now today our 300+ users have that option every single day. Our empathetic Active Listeners put themselves "online" after sharing a little information about themselves in their bio. : "Nashville, TN based listener. I am here to listen to anything and EVERYTHING! Your one stop safe space & comfort zone. Sober 2 years π· Music lover Great listener" Whenever someone needs to talk, they can connect specifically with any of our online Listeners or they can call ALL our online Listeners and the 1st available Listener to accept the call is connected with that user instantly. In less than 10 seconds, our users can have a real live human being on the other end to talk to. And they are no longer alone.
