Suggestion for Scripture Option
I am a Christian who has very spiritual and personal motivations for using this app. However, I’m sad to say that the scriptural options in the app for helping people like me is very generic and surface level. It doesn’t give anything topic specific, from a Bible standpoint, concerning the struggles of breaking the problems this app is trying to help with.
It feels like the team involved in selecting the Bible verses to put in the app tapped on a random verse generator and stuck them in.
I’d like to help out by providing a list of Bible verses that specifically talk about lust and struggle that other Christians can better relate to so they can be further encouraged to break their habit:
Matthew 5:28, 1 Corinthians 6:18, 1 Corinthians 10:13, Psalm 119:37, 1 John 2:16, Hebrews 13:4, Philippians 4:8, James 1:14-15, 1 Corinthians 6:13, Galatians 5:19-21, Psalm 119:9, 1 Peter 2:11, 2 Timothy 2:22, Colossians 3:5, Ephesians 5:3, Romans 12:1, Romans 12:2, Ephesians 5:11-12, Matthew 6:22-23, James 5:16, 1 Thessalonians 5:22, Proverbs 6:32-33, Galatians 5:16, Psalm 101:3, Revelation 21:8, Ephesians 4:22-24, Romans 13:13, Romans 1:26-27, Hebrews 4:15-16, Romans 3:23-24
There are obviously many more verses in the Bible related to this subject, along with more encouraging verses to help with setbacks and hopelessness. I’d be glad to provide more at any time.Show lessArmageddon prepp
Not for Everyone/Weird Features
This app has helped me, but I have some serious problems with it. For example, on the homepage they give you the option of reading a Success Story. I know they do this for motivation but some Success Stories have explicit descriptions of sexual encounters, scenarios and/or vulgar and inappropriate language. I thought the purpose of this app was to help people NOT read or think about any of those things, so why on earth is the app recommending me that stuff to read on the ‘homepage’ of all places? Same with the Advice/Help section of the app. Some posts and comments are helpful and motivating but others are sexually explicit, rude or mock/belittle people of religious faith or spirituality. I understand why it’s giving people a place where they can ask for help, and I understand the developers of the app can’t control every post, but they should at least have a warning stating that they don’t control what’s said there and that it may contain explicit content. I do not recommend this app for anyone under the age of twenty and recommend every user only stick to using the progress tracker, meditations, and mental exercises.Show lessThatSmilingKoala

Thanks for your feedback on the success stories! If you see any posts in the Advice/Help sections that are inappropriate please be sure to report it, you may also reach out to us at support@brainbuddyapp.com with any questions or feedback.All companies are alike. They don’t care.
So first, you advertise that you help stop porn addictions. You showed the stats, you showed the reviews, but then you do the worst thing. You ask for money. You claim to be helping people, but you ask for a monthly subscription?? I believe I read “[number]% who watch porn are more likely to have financial issues, and [number]% are most likely out of a job or tend to not keep one.” (Not verbatim)
So you ask for money from the people you claim don’t have it? What a joke. Do better and show that you care by making this a non-profit and ask for OPTIONAL donations to keep your company running. And don’t you dare continue to force people to pay for something that could potentially save their life. You are just like any other company; you don’t care about the people, you care about their money.
You want stats? Here is this:
“ Research has found that individuals with a pornography disorder display a greater risk of self-harm and suicidal ideation, with the most severe cases resulting in suicide attempts. Studies have also reported that porn addiction is prevalent among those who have lost someone to suicide, suggesting a correlation between their grief and the compulsion to rely on pornographic material as a coping mechanism” (Allo Health) a litigious sexual health wellness organization.
Putting a pay wall between a (possibly) better life and someone who is struggling to find that, is absolutely disgusting behavior. Again, do better.Show lessNo aplicable
