I love it

I never rly write reviews for apps, but I rly liked this one so I thought I should. This app has helped me so much, lately I have been having a lot more suicidal thoughts and this app made me feel a lot better. I would definitely recommend it.


Extraordinarily helpful

Hello! I am 19 years old and struggle with depression. This app has helped me tremendously and I am forever grateful for the encouraging messages from the Buddies. Please fix!!! after I complete the three quests, the snout on my Buddy moves downward and blocks the second tooth and most of the mouth. It looks weird and I would really appreciate it if someone could please check this out! I have a screenshot to show what it looks like but I’m not sure how to put that in a review. Thank you so much! I love this app so much.


Really Cute

I really like this app. It sounds pathetic, but the little character makes me feel less lonely sometimes. I wish that when you're having a bad day, you could mark multiple symptoms that are bad that day. I also wish there was more to do with your buddy once you wake him up. (Again, the loneliness thing.)


Great app!!!!

I really love this app. It has been very helpful and really good for motivating me to get things done. The only thing I would like to see is the ability to have repeating reminders that you can set to every day, week, etc. That would be a great improvement.


More quests please!

I love my little buddy and I usually wake him up in the morning so I can create a to do list. (I have anxiety so to do lists are like. A necessity. And I usually hate them but booster buddy makes it actually feel good to make one and check things off which I love!!!) in the mornings I'm all right, so the quests are helpful then but not necessary. When I really need quests is after a stressful day of classes or long hours working on a paper with no human interaction. I wish there were a way to choose to do more quests whenever I want. Because they are really helpful for getting me moving and working and feeling better, but when I only get to do them in the morning I worry about wasting the opportunity when I don't need them as much. Other than that I love this app! Thanks ?


Thank you

Thank you for making this app, and making a terribly scary thing-managing mental illness-- approachable, cute and possible. The coping methods and calendar are very good, the crisis plan makes it easy to help yourself when you can only manage one small positive action, and the hats and clothes provide just enough reward without being distracting.


One of My Favourites Thus Far

I only got this app a few days ago, but so far it's been very helpful. It makes it easier to get started every morning and gives me something small to look forward to. It's also really motivating to feel like I have to take care of something else as it makes me feel more important. The one change I'd like to see is a mood check-in at night and an area to take notes on our mood.


Great, but request?

This is a useful, cute little app, but I just wanted to say that it would be really good if you could do the check-in multiple different times a day.


Amazing!

This app is amazingly helpful and motivating and I'm so glad I have it. I do have one suggestion: let us plan tasks that repeat. I have my college classes in there but it took some time to put them in for every week until the semester ends. It could also be helpful to remind people to refill their prescriptions regularly or pay their bills, etc. Keep up the good work! :D
