ATLANTA — It’s the most popular phone app out there – and you’ve probably never heard of it.
It’s called Sarahah and it has millions of users, including kids.
The app is used for people to leave anonymous comments about the user. The developer of the app said it was originally meant for positive feedback
"Sarahah helps you in discovering your strengths and areas for improvement by receiving honest feedback from your employees and your friends in a private manner," a statement on its website said.

But like many things on the Internet, some of the feedback on the app turned negative.
Some people have reported being bullied by the comments left anonymously.
Other similar anonymous apps, such as Yik Yak, Secret and Ask.fm, struggled to contain bullying and abuse.
Sarahah means "honesty" in Arabic, its developer said.
The app is currently at the top of the iTunes app store, ahead of Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube and Facebook.
The app boasts 15 million users.
