Vent – What Parents Need to Know

There is a new iOS app called Vent devoted to letting people complain about their lives.

Like Whisper and Secret, you can post anonymously, though the app does require an email address (it’s not displayed publicly, but still), and you can choose to post your real name.

Vent has a slick interface and an inviting pitch: “Get it off your chest,” the app’s website reads. “Voice your opinion to our supportive community without the worry of being insulted or disrespected, de-friended or upsetting people you know.”
