Booster Buddy for Android
The app is amazing, particularly the reminder function. Though it would be nice if you could mark task with hard task and then get a little message from the raccoon. The only problem with this app is it's gotten slower and slower until it just black screens every time I open it, and I have to click it repeatedly and turn it on and off several times before it will let me into the app.
I have only used this app for 3 days and already love it and have told friends about it and everything. However I have trouble with some self care things and I think it would be cool for the to do's if there could be a every second day option or bi-daily. Some things I wish I could write but that's what I'd need the reminder to be but I don't have that option so I don't put it in. I also saw another comment suggesting say I shower then so does my buddy so he's clean to I like that idea. I wish there was more ways I could interact with my buddy I find myself going into the app just to click his belly cause I want him to say things to me. Overall I love this app and just wanted to say some things that would be nice to see in future updates. :) thank you for having this app exist I love it.
I really like the app. Its cute, personal and fun. It helped me get through a tougher morning. I think there are a few things that it can improve on, such as asking specific questions, like, how are you feeling? Are you thinking about hurting yourself, etc. And, well, I'm sure this is an app made by Canadians, but when I went to helpful websites, it was all websites for Canadians. As an american, there are definetly a lot of websites out there for us, and everyone else, but finding them is hard. So having an app like this with links to helpful websites is nice, but hard when its all websites centered around Canadians and such. Like I said, great app and all, just maybe, try and improve on a few things, and maybe adding more websites that helps everyone, not just the people in Canada.
A raccoon tells me when to take my meds in the morning and reminds me to take my evening ones before I sleep. There are daily quests like do laundry, go outside, or talk to someone. Having depression, those things are very hard to do otherwise. But I get xp for it now and my raccoon gets little outfits if I accomplish them.
I love this app but I'm finding that the latest update causes the app to run much more slowly: it's slow to load and less responsive. It really reduces the convenience of the app. I frequently get a black screen. This was not an issue with the previous version, so if you could sort that out, it would be excellent. Other than that, I find it very useful and would rec it.
This app is amazing. It has helped me so much! Unfortunately it became slower and slower and more and more unresponsive until all it was was a black screen. Too bad, since I found it inspiring, and I fell in love wit my buddy: a cute racoon who collects hats, spouts inspiring quotes, corny jokes, and gentle encouragement.
Great idea but isnt working on my S5 Galaxy. I get a black screen every time I launch, and more often than not the app freezes, especially when getting alerts. I need something like this to actually work, not give me something else to stress about.
This is such a great and helpful app. It's great that after the update I can check in again, that's what I wished I could do before. I though I had the same problem as someone here with the black screen, but just like before I had to wait a few seconds watching a logo for the app to open up, now I just have to look at a black screen. Nothings broken. Ive been admiring this app for a few months now, it's amazing
This app is actually very helpful for people with mental health issues and helps you track different tasks or events you need to do. There are a lot of useful tips and healthy suggestions. My only con on this is that it malfunctions sometimes and I'm unable to open it. It just shows a blank black screen and refuses to work. I wish I could figure out why it's doing this.
I really love this app. It's fantastic and I use it all of the time. However, the app is incredibly slow to start up and often freezes - I usually have to wait a full minute to use the app. But it's not just during startup - when I put an item on my to-do list and hit submit, I have to wait a full minute for the action to be completed. I love this app and I want it to be convenient to use - please fix these problems! Please!
This has really been a big help on me staying focused every day. I've been having a lot of bad days lately and my kitchen was a disaster. I set my dishes on my to-do list and actually did it. I really recommend this app, although I wish it had a journal function.
I LOVE this app. I love the concept the build of it. There are a few things that need ironing out sure but nothing that would Merritt me lowering the stars. But every time I turn off my phone I have to pick out a buddy and start all over. I want to love this app but I have had to completely restart the process several times now and I can't help but feel disappointed. This is the only app of this nature I have found that actually seems helpful and I just hate having my progress completely unwritten every single time I run out of battery or my phone crashes. Especially as a person with mental illness it just kinda feels like my diary got burned to the ground each time. I really hope that this problem gets solved.
I really like this app but I've always had problems with the notification part of it. A while ago I never got a reminder nor notification of my to do's or events, now I do, it works, I get notifications, but the application does not open nor loads anymore. Also, it'd be nice if I could save my progress and being able to use the app with different devices and same progress.
I really enjoy this app. The little daily quests are nice and provide easy baby steps to get through the day. I especially love the calender because I have constant anxiety about missing my therapy appts. or showing up when I'm not scheduled. There are only one thing I wish I could change. As someone with periods I wish there was an option to track my cycles because I always forget about them and during PMS and period week my symptoms are always 5x worse and unless I make the connection myself those two weeks are hell.
I've been using this app for a few days now, and it's going pretty well and has definitely helped me out a few times already. I appreciate that the difficulty of the quests is affected by my check-in status. I do wish I had the option to customize my medication more. Presently, there is only one medication category allowed (scheduled or as-needed). But I, and many other people who have depression and anxiety, need to take multiple medications. It would help the app be more applicable to my life.
I really love this app! Super helpful! But... This morning when I went to open it to check-in and mark off my morning medication it went to a black screen... I closed the app and tried to reopen it. But nothing changed. I even turned my phone off then back on. Since this morning it wasn't given me any of my reminder notifications... Help?
ive only had this app for a day and i love it already! The fox is adorable and i love how nice he is :) Ive been neglecting myself for a while and this is one of the only things that makes me actually want to get out of bed in the morning :D I wish i could give this more than five stars :D
It's really nice when I can actually use it but 4/5 times I try to open the app, I just get a black screen and can't do anything. Pretty frustrating as I'd really like to continue using this app :/
This app really helps me with my depression but all of the sudden I can't get into the app. This is really annoying, because I can't check in and do the quests. Can you please fix this?
I have been having a problem with the app running slow on my phone and I'm not sure if it's the app or the phone. When I had the app on my iPad, everything ran smoothly. On my phone, it takes almost a whole minute to load up and it's just a blank screen without the logo. Also, when I turn my phone on and off, sometimes the app clears my level progress and calander to-dos, but not always. It's quite frustrating and doesn't happen with any of my other apps. My phone isn't in great condition though. Any help would be appreciated. :)
I think this app is amazing! It's really helped keep me doing things that I need to do and is super motivating! The only suggestion I have is that maybe in the next update a 'put to bed' option at the end of the night with normal night time routine tasks to do so would be helpful. And maybe a wake-up and sleep time tracker to track how much sleep you get. I need this especially since I have a hard time going to bed. Thanks!
I love this app, it's so helpful, but every time I open it I get a black screen that can last a good minute and a half, and today I lost half my progress! I was level 10, now it says I'm level 4, and my check-in history is incorrect. I'm sad.
I really like this app, but I have a big problem: there seems to be no way to turn off app sounds. I am very sensitive to sound, so this is a make or break issue. Have I missed something?
It's really good but it's soooooooooo slow and crashes a lot. It's almost unusable, honestly. It'd be perfect if that one issue was fixed.
I love this app so much. Only issue is you get a black screen when you click it and you have to wait awhile please fix
I cannot recommend this app highly enough. Though probably designed for youngsters, it is so immensely helpful and cheery. Today, I couldn't convince myself to leave bed for anything other than food. The app gave me a quest to go out and look at the sky. I thought, that's simple, I can do that. Then standing at my door I thought, well might as well take the garbage out. A cartoon fox got me to do something I'd been putting off for ages. This may sound simple, but if you're suffering from depression, it is huge. Thank you for this app.
Thank you. Great amazing app. Only thing I would do to make it better is have the option to do more quests /or other things Sometimes I finish the quests in just a few minutes and for the rest of the day have no motivation or can't get myself out of my head.
This app has a lot of helpful advice, many I did not know about. Helped me be actually happy for the first time in a long while. Thank you so much <3 just wish it did not take so long to open
Good suggestions, I like how they are very small and manageable. One thing is like to see is a mood between good and "not great" for when I am just doing ok.
I've had mental issues for most of my life and this app is perfect for anyone, I think. Where has it been all my life? :)
This is a cute app and it's helpful for a little boost of positivity. I found it a little too repetitive and eventually stopped using it.
I love this app. I haven't forgotten my medicine once since starting it and have had a much easier time getting up in the morning. My only suggestion for improvement would be if the buddy was on screen when going through coping skills. Otherwise, it's about perfect!
I like this app it was helping. But for some reason it won't open anymore. I have restarted my phone and everything(android)
I can't choose which icon i want because it always goes back to Flitz, also it keeps getting jammed at the T&C part. The speech bubble just becomes blank
Just started using this app, but I think it's going to be very useful. I do wish there was a way to save my answers in the coping methods section or at least keep track of which ones I used on a specific day.
Worked Great till yesterday. All it does not is open to a black screen. That's it just Black nothing Else.
This app has really helped with my schizophrenia. The first day I downloaded this app I was terrible, I couldn't even motivate myself to eat. I did my quests (which were hard for me that day, so it felt good to do something). My little raccoon dude woke up and said "it was hard to get up today but if you can do it so can I!" I honestly cried.
Wow. This app is incredible, and doesn't make you feel bad about your mental health problems or the fact that some days you just can't do things like social and brushing your hair.
Can it include stuff for OCD and BPD please?

I love this app! And the update has made it even more useful for me. I have gotten a black screen twice since the update, but closing the app fixed the issue right away. Thank you so much for this app. Suggestion: For your next update, it might be helpful to be able to select the different types of quests to receive more often. For a example, if you know you have an issue with isolating yourself, you could request quests to help with this more often.
