Description
LifeBuoy is only accessible to people taking part in a study conducted by the Black Dog Institute.
LifeBuoy is an app that aims to help young people develop strategies and problem-solving skills to manage their suicidal thoughts. The app has been designed by experts in mental health and suicide prevention.
There are seven modules to move through, each taking approximately 3-7 minutes to complete. Once a module is complete, it will unlock and ‘light up’ a new module to move to.

Bug fixes and improvements
Ratings and Reviews
A couple bugs but good
The meditation section has a bug on mindfulness island - the app needs a mechanism to keep your phone open and unlocked while you meditate otherwise you find yourself disengaging with it to tap your screen to keep it awake.
There is also a bug with the mood journal thing - it takes me to put in an emotion and then freezes the app completely. I have to close it and reopen the app and have only successfully logged a mood once because I manually entered it.
Other than this the app is really helpful and I think once the bugs are handled it will be very good. Especially the guided meditation offered and the toolbox.

Hi Tara, background audio functionality is already in the works and we're hoping to add this in one of the next updates. As for the mood gauge bug, we haven't come across this before and can't seem to reproduce this on any of our devices. If you wouldn't mind getting in touch with us at pts@blackdog.org.au and providing any more details you can, it would help immensely in getting it sorted! Thanks,The LifeBuoy Team
Not enough Zodiac signs
In the quiz section, the question of zodiac sign lacks 2 signs including Aries and Taurus. Other than that sofar so good
