I have a painfully personal acquaintance with suicide. I agree that an app couldn't have done much for it after a certain point. But what causes people to be suicidal in the first place? In my experience, feeling like they don't matter. Apps by themselves can't do anything about that feeling, yes. But apps are used by people. And apps can help put you in touch with people who can change your life. Who can help you understand that you are important. Apps can also put you in touch with yourself, and help you grasp your own context. Perhaps this specific app will work, perhaps it won't, but writing off any and all apps seems a bit premature.
