Incredibly useful

Chetthecookieghost

This app was a gift from someone important to me and I didn’t know how useful it would be but it is very effective at giving me a purpose and pushing me but also letting me have space when I need it with the,” give me another quest,” option. The only thing I feel like this is missing is a few more checkin buttons. They mention them in the symptom selection, and I get manically high moods very rarely but I would LOVE an option that says, “I’m really emotionally high and I’m taking risks and am irritable,” or something because, “good,” isn’t really accurate to look back on. Also a few more customization options wouldn’t go amiss, maybe one or two more per level but that’s a nitpick. Great work all in all and I recommend this app!


The best mental health app

PhoenixRune

Where do I even start? It encourages you to improve without punishing you if you don’t succeed. The buddy (I chose the fox) always has something sweet to say on a bad day. The quests are great whether I choose ones that cause me to push myself or if I go with the easy ones. The calendar function is simple but useful. This app is literally the best mental health app I’ve tried, and I’ve tried a lot!


Bless this app

Ive shown this to all my friends who struggle like I do. Slowly but surely I am getting more motivation to do things. To anyone reading this, if you have anxiety or depression, or even just struggle to get through every day, please get this app! So worth it


Revolutionized my mental health.

Having an animated buddy hold you accountable is a lot more helpful than I'd expected at first. Through this app I've learned to be kinder, more patient, and more understanding to/with myself. I know more about myself and my symptoms; I know many more coping strategies and am able to locate them and remember them if I need. The app reminds me to take my medicine every day and I love that you can add your own calendar events to customize the app. The daily tasks to wake up the buddy are so helpful too; they remind me to slow down and take stock of my life before I go about my day. I think that, while the app may be aimed at younger folks, it is incredibly helpful for people of all ages. I'm far beyond a teen and I love this app and recommend it to the people in my life who may need it. Thank you.


Encouraging

My buddy helped me remember to take my meds as well as do a daily check in. I can’t recommend this app enough.


Really helpful

Hannah GH

I don’t usually write reviews but I feel obligated to do so for Booster Buddy. I’ve been only using it for a few days but I can see a positive difference within myself. There are many self-help guides which are very much helpful for managing my anxiety. I’m usually on the internet a lot but I haven’t come across half the coping strategies that Booster Buddy has! It almost seems ridiculous how much I love my buddy, but having someone to motivate you without any fear of stigmas or misunderstandings is really encouraging. This app can also track your medications and remind you to take them, and you can add items to your calendar to help you feel motivated. I really am grateful to the developers of this app! :)


Super helpful, few suggestions!

Way2Gucci4u

I love this app, and my therapist definitely approved of it and loved the idea. Help is so easily accessible since we usually have our phones on us at all times. I love the crisis mode, thay could save so many people. The “buddies” are so cute and I love doing the tasks to help wake them up! My favorite feature is where you choose what’s wrong and there’s many of options on how to help or cope with the emotions you’re feeling. My suggestion is also make a negative self talk tab. Lot’s of the time I’m down because of self confidence issues and it’s be helpful to include tips on how to feel better about myself. I also wish for a tab on help with eating disorders. I hope you guys take these suggestions into mind. Thank you for helping me through many hard days!


Very beneficial!

Using Booster Buddy helps me so much with the everyday struggles that accompany mental illness, and does it in an encouraging and compassionate way. To everyone who contributed to this app, all I can say is thank you!


I feel better

The coping methods are very helpful. And thinking that I helping someone else by helping myself is motivating. I wish there was more to do after you wake him up


Creates a small space for me to be happy

I get overwhelmed at the amount of things I need to do, but this app helps me focus on and take credit for even the smallest of steps - because more often than not, those small steps build up enough momentum to take even larger ones. Wish I could design more cute characters for this app, but otherwise it’s a wonderful resource I recommend to those who need some direction and encouragement ~
