REVIEWS FROM THE BRAINBUDDY COMMUNITY
"Now I am controlled, stable, focused, and feel super confident. When you save your energy up, you get that unconquerable will where what would have been a huge wall for your old self becomes a little knee-high fence you can step over."
"I feel a different person. I'm much more talkative and aware in social settings. At work I'm on top of everything instead of forgetting things and asking people to repeat themselves. It's been over a decade since I started struggling with these habits and this now feels who I truly am."
"The clarity for me was extremely noticeable and you will likely feel like a different person. It gave me hope that there is nothing totally wrong with me. Just having that experience of clarity and happiness can be a powerful thing."
"Confidence. When I walk down the street I don't feel uncomfortable anymore. I can speak to anyone without feeling shy. It's not that I have become arrogant, I just regard myself on equal footing with others where before I always felt inferior. My social anxiety has completely flown out the window."

If you’ve just relapsed and you’re desperate to find a way out. Download this app now. I have been clean with this app for over 30 days and previously had been struggling with this addiction for the better part of 20 years. If you cannot afford expensive recovery programs or therapies then know that this app is your absolute best option. For around $12/month you get an app that was expertly designed to use all the latest findings in neuroscience and psychology to give you the best possible shot of recovery. It’s a no brainer. Do all the activities they give you (yes especially the meditation, they are there for a reason). I cannot recommend this app enough. Good luckFor the developers: Some recommendations to turn a 5-star app into an undisputed 6-star app. There are so many people in the chats talking about the “Easy Peasy Method”, if you added the free pdf to your app people would love you for it. I love the life tree, could you add more life too it? Have it sway a little, have some heartfelt anime instrumental music playing, or have a little customizable avatar that tends to the try and is active or sleeping under it? That would be super cool! And with the data collection of the app, I don’t know what’s necessary for the function of the app but for something around something that’s considered a private or shameful matter, you may see an increase in downloads by reducing your data collection points. Thank you for the app!!

Worth the price

I have struggled with online addiction since I was a boy. When I was 10yrs old, my wannabe rocker father introduced me to that world because he thought it was “cool” and “what guys do.” Over time I was afraid of how it was making me feel, and I asked him and my mother to put parental controls on our home computer. They both refused. I’m 26 now, and I have battled this off and on the entire time. Sometimes I’d get away from it for months, years, but it kept coming back. This app helped me get away from it once, and during a recent relapse it is helping me get away from it again. What I love about the app is the outreach and support it offers from like-struggling people. You are anonymously together in your fight and able to encourage each other through an issue so difficult to seek encouragement and support for in your day to day life. The application costs a little money to utilize, but it is a small price to pay compared to the cost of addiction. Act now. Fix it now. Any day you spend carrying that guilt and shame is a day wasted. Rise above. Be better.
Needs more updates/features

I’ve been on this app for many months now. It’s been a while since any big update has come on here. A lot of people are paying money for a great app, but there’s definitely more to improve. There should be exercises/lessons helping and teaching people on how to get back up after a relapse, since this seems to be the biggest issue on the app. A lot of my group members are stuck on “missed a check-up” and the reason they came onto this app is to stay on the app, not to miss check-up days. This seems to be a constant issue here. A lot of people are stuck on streak/day 0 and can’t seem to reach past several days. You guys have a great rewiring audio exercise that 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔 people from relapsing by using mindfulness/awareness techniques, but it doesn’t teach people how to get 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙪𝙥 from a relapse. This is the most crucial stage because this is where people are staying down. They aren’t making or seeing progress. They want to get back up but they don’t know how. There needs to be a course on the 𝒉𝒐𝒘 to get back up. It defeats the purpose of coming onto this app when people are not seeing progress. This is a worthy and promising app, but it needs a treatment plan not just a prevention plan.

Great Supplemental Resource
Ryanxj9000
As a SUPPLEMENT to therapy of some kind (12-step or individual talk therapy) this app can be very useful and motivating. It is pretty great. I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 because you still need more than just this app to beat the addiction, but this is not emphasized by the app itself. There are small groups you can join in-app (or create you own) and that feature has been updated recently, though I stopped using it because of the frustration it caused earlier. Not sure if it still works the same way, but I stopped using the group feature because it would randomly assign you to a new group out of nowhere after you already spent time chatting with the group members, establishing a rapport, exchanging helpful tips, and then BOOM, they’re gone, because the devs wanted to periodically destroy and reassemble groups to “encourage more interaction” (their response to my inquiry. It was really dumb because it had the opposite effect. Nobody talked. Why bother? You were just going to lose them all again pretty soon. Again, not sure if they changed that or not. I think they did with the major update, but they already lost me on that feature, and right now I’m taking a break from the app because it is too expensive for me right now at $13/month.

Hi Ryanxj9000, thanks for your feedback! I'm glad you found the app to be useful. We've included a private team feature so users can create teams with others who they've enjoyed interacting with, these teams are permanent and give users control over switching.
Thanks for using Brainbuddy! We update our app frequently to improve your experience. This update includes bug fixes and other improvements.
