Brainbuddy: Quit PMO

This app is awesome. It has helped me in more ways than I could have ever asked for. I love that it allows me to connect with other people in The Struggle and teams you up with people to add a certain challenge/gamelike element to the whole process. The Life Tree is super cool too, as it grows everyday you are sober and it helps keep you motivated to stay that way. The all also provides ways to get your head back on track with “distress” buttons that help get your mind back to where it needs to be. I love this app and I attribute it to 75% of my success. 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend!!!

While Brain Buddy does serve a very good purpose, and is working in that respect, I just have a couple issues with the app. First, there are quite a few bugs which might not be noticeable at first but today a streak clearly did not have the right number, which was confusing so I had to rely on my own math. Second, you can't delete help posts (that go to the community). When attempting to email to delete a post, they just asked me why... it's a pretty personal app. I shouldn't have to explain myself via email and this should be a very simple feature to add to this app. Maybe if there was more documentation on the specific event that was occuring (which seemed to be very common in the community) then I wouldn't have to reach out so much in the app. Either way, it's not worth the monthly payment as soon as you just memorize the maybe 3-5 daily activities you need to do (and was not worth it for me as soon as I had to ask for a feature that seemed pretty common, which unfortunately made me pretty uncomfortable).

thought it is cheesy, im really grateful that this app exists and brings attention to an issue that isnt really discussed. i found that even just downloading it helped to quit as its just taking that first step to commitment that really gives a positive mindset and provides some strength. after that, using it like one should close to guarantees that youll quit. however, it definitely costs far too much for what it is. when i signed up for the week trial, i set an alarm for a week later to remember to cancel the subscription. however, when i went to cancel, i found out that they had already charged me the monthly fee despite the fact that i definitely set the alarm for at least two hours before a full week since i signed up completed. but i thought its whatever, ill cancel and do the month i paid. its been one more week and ive run into a bunch of annoying glitches, like typing a long inspirational message to my team members (lol) but when sending it the app deleted it and said it was unable to send. obviously i didnt type it again. theres a couple more, but anyway, i have to admit, the app works.

Let me just say this app has been so so helpful for me that I’ve made it much farther in the reboot process than I ever have before. But even though I listed my self as a gay male, it still shows pictures of cute straight couples on the “choose your path” exercises and asks if I’ve experienced any more “real-life” attraction to women on the nightly checkup. I know the concepts would be exactly the same, which is why I’m continuing to pay for this app, but it would be really nice if the app just made it a little bit more personalized to people’s sexual orientation. Also, it offers no explanation for the whole team thing. I don’t understand if I was just placed on a team with other random people or what the purpose of the team aspect of the program even is.

I liked this app initially but when I turned off in-app purchases after I had purchased the monthly subscription, I would get a notice that I could not use the app. It made it impossible to use the app at all. Because of this I stopped using the app for several months. I recently started using the app again without any issues because I had turned on in-app purchases but it wasn’t long before there was another issue. I can’t use the app unless I have done my daily check in. Now every other app on my phone is functional when I have cell service but this app will not let me check in unless I am connected to WiFi. I will get a pop up notice saying that I need to connect to a wifi or cell network. I get this notice even if I’m connected to a cell network. So unless I connect to a WiFi network and do a daily check in this app is unusable.
