Using the App

Q: How do I access learning resources?

Q: How do I book a 1-1 call with a clinician?

A: Navigate to '1-1 Calls' from your enrolled homepage. You'll see a calendar showing available appointment slots. Select a time that works for you and confirm your booking. You can book up to 8 calls during your programme (maximum 1 per week).

A: Tap the chat icon in the top navigation bar. You can start a conversation with the clinical team, and any available clinician will respond to your message. You'll receive notifications within the app when you get a reply.

Technical Issues

Q: The app won't load or is running slowly

A: Try these troubleshooting steps:
  1. Check your internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data)
  2. Close the app completely and reopen it
  3. Check if there's an app update available in your app store
  4. Restart your device
  5. If the problem continues, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app

If none of these work, email us at product@lets-speek.com with details about your device and the issue.

Q: I'm not receiving notifications

A: Check your device settings to ensure notifications are enabled for Speek. On iPhone: Settings > Notifications > Speek. On Android: Settings > Apps > Speek > Notifications. Make sure 'Do Not Disturb' mode isn't blocking notifications.
