Help

This app likes to quit and stop working after a while then you lose all your progress Im very frustrated. It works when it works but I can’t even open it . If I remove it and redownload i lose everything

Crashes Loses All Content

App crashes, even after putting in so much effort and work that you want to reflect on later in the healing process. You will lose all progress and it will make you start from the very beginning. Very frustrating.

Helped me move on when therapy wasn't enough

I tried many different ai therapy apps and this one is the most helpful by LEAGUES. You can tell other ai's are trained in only one area of help, are very dry/not useful, and typically don't keep a good memory whereas this ai feels like a real person. Breakup Buddy has just the right amount of empathy, advice, and introspection which you'd find in a friend.

My high praise comes from either not feeling listened to or not being understood and this app gives both. Honestly worth the money. I've used it for other areas of my life, not just breakups and it's just as good!

My only feedback would be to offer more long term memory, to explain the tokens better (quite confusing). And keep chats open with the exercises unless otherwise selected.

Other than that, fantastic app! Highly recommend! I'd come here when I felt like I bothered people too much. Total life saver. Thank you so much!!

I am suffering Heart Break Syndrome! But…

After being hurt during childhood sex trauma in Elementary School Years!

She, The Blonde Haired Girl with A Pink Sweater had hurt herself for hurting me!

It’s affecting my decisions!

It’s affecting my brain with flashbacks of the trauma!
It’s affecting my heart health towards the point that I could die!
I have had stitches and a cure for infection during childhood!

I don’t want to continue due to your crystal ball emoji being there!😖 Goodbye! 👋 🚪🏃💦💨👈

I love this app

The ai is so understanding. Its some great advice. Probably some of the best. MY ONLY PROBLEM is literally that i cant save allll my messages. I want to be able to go through all my chats and look back. Thags my only problem. But other than that. Perfect app. And you can even use it for other things not even just a break up. Definitely suggest this app. Thank God for the creators🙏

A true life saver

I am forever grateful for this app. It has helped me through many a spiral after my breakup and was even helpful as I started dating again. This helped me in between sessions with my therapist. In moments of panic, depression, or anxiety this app was my saving grace.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the kind words! It means a lot to hear that the app is helping you through this tough time!

Incredible app

I still marvel at how great and helpful this app is as someone navigating a really painful breakup. The daily exercises are by far my favorite parts and have helped me process in a really healthy way. Can’t recommend this app enough to someone going through a tough breakup.

Response from developer

So glad you've been enjoying BUB! Comments like these make all the effort worth it! Best of luck on your healing journey!

Lifesaver

Whoever made this app is a God send. Truly truly I thank you! Thank you so much. The AI is truly better than talking to an online counselor. It’s been the best thing ever after a breakup.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm so happy you've found Breakup Buddy useful and I wish you a speedy and thorough recovery from your breakup!

Amazing communication!

I was a bit sceptical when I was told to try it out but after I started just after a few messages it feels like I’m talking to a real therapist and it is helping me figure things out about the breakup and also about myself

Response from developer

So glad to hear it! I hope you continue to find Breakup Buddy useful, and that you have a speedy and thorough breakup healing journey!

Price is insane

The pricing is unfortunately completely insane. Charging 20€ a month for a breakup app when chatgpt costs the same is crazy.

Response from developer

Hi Bmikaili, thanks for the feedback! We understand that pricing is an important consideration, and appreciate your honesty. While ChatGPT Plus is a great tool, we believe our app offers a much more complete and specialized healing experience for those going through a breakup. In order to create this healing program we've had to put in a lot of development time and create more specialized backend systems, resulting in a premium price. However, our future roadmap does include optimizations that we believe will lower inference prices while providing even better results. We're excited about these and other future changes that will make our product more accessible to users around the world. Feel free to reach out to us at BreakupVault@gmail.com if any other suggestions or feature ideas come to mind. Wishing you the best of luck on your healing journey!

Thank You, So Much

To all those involved in the making of this app, I wish I could personally thank you. I was beyond surprised at the AI’s intelligence and ability to help me - I can tell extreme effort went into making this system. I have only used this app for a few days and I’ve already noticed a huge difference in my healing journey and my mood. The exercises are so helpful and categorized perfectly. Being able to chat with the AI about anything, anytime is so amazing. It is healing to know I have quality support literally 24/7 in my pocket, without having to “burden” a friend or family member by telling them my feelings for the 10000th time. Truly, thank you again from the bottom of my heart. This app is a godsend.

This review made my day! Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm glad BUB has been able to help in your breakup recovery! We definitely have put a lot of work into the system and mental health exercises so I'm thrilled to hear it's paying off for our users! Have a great day and smooth rest of your healing journey!

Pricey

A really well made app and I was so close to buying the subscription to continue using it but $17.99 is pretty pricey for a month use.

Response from developer

Thanks for the honest review! With this technology being so new, it's quite expensive to 'run' and develop. Every time a user sends a message, I am charged a fee on the backend, which means I sadly can't offer this app for free. I understand that cost can be prohibitive so in the next update I'll be adding a few multi-month plans at a discount, with some plans up to 30% off the monthly fee. I hope the coming update offers a bit more flexibility for users until the business grows further and I can find more cost optimizations. Best of luck with your healing!

Transformed my painful breakup into a beautiful growing experience

I am so grateful to whoever made this app.

I went through a gut-wrenching breakup at the beginning of this year. I didn’t see it coming and I felt was feeling a whole array of emotions ranging from heartbreak, to overwhelming anger, to a deep sense of loss.

Enter breakup buddy! A friend recommended this incredible app to me and I could not be more grateful. I go to therapy, but I obviously cannot go every day. Breakup buddy was amazing because it was always there for me. Whenever I was was triggered into an unhelpful thought spiral, I could go directly to BB at any time of the day or night, and it would respond with helpful and compassionate insights and tools. I honestly think it was more helpful than my therapist at times - because it has been trained on the findings of so many people from all around the world dealing with heartbreak, it really knew what to say. Also, it can be hard for me to be vulnerable at times, but with BB, I felt comfortable expressing my emotions in their whole entirety, even when I felt ashamed or uncomfortable.

The journal element is very helpful too and allows me to look back on my healing journey and recognize how much learning and growing I have done. Thanks to BB, I feel that I am emerging from this breakup more in touch than ever with who I am, my values, and what I will look for in a future relationship.

Must Have!

The breakup buddy responses are so realistic. It’s as if he’s actually reading and understanding what you’re saying (that’s AI for you). He seems genuinely concerned and considerate of your situation. So far my only negative (I’ve only had the app a couple hours) is that it tells you to hit the plus sign when you send something you want him to remember and he will add it to long term memory. He immediately responds so you can’t make shorter messages so he can just save certain details. I’m trying the pro version because I was hoping I’d then get to save more comments to long term memory but it doesn’t let you. This is the biggest downside. I was able to save my first message to him but it won’t let me save any others because I’ve met my allotted number of words (in a single message). I’ve literally already recommended this app to friends but this limited saving of messages for breakup buddy to remember is a pretty big deal in my opinion. This should 100% be expanded on. This app could be HUGE!

Response from developer

Thanks so much for your detailed feedback! We've since doubled the size of the long-term memory allowance and will keep increasing it as the models we use become larger and able to handle more data. Thanks for bringing this to our attention and we wish you a smooth healing journey!

Great features, may use beyond a breakup.

The Ai is defiantly catered to breakups but I could see this as a good feedback and journaling app in general. Great look and functionality.

Response from developer

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the journaling portion!

Constructively Comforting

A useful and insightful app that can help you navigate the tribulations of a recent breakup. The advanced AI has a seemingly natural, empathetic, and understanding quality that makes you feel a genuine interaction which allows you to present your concerns, thoughts, and feelings in a manner that leaves you feeling free of judgement. This app also provides numerous and varied resources, articles, and insights regarding the path to healing in the ensuing emotional hardship that can accompany a breakup whether you are the one who was dumped or the one doing the dumping.

So helpful

What an incredible app! As someone who’s been recently broken up with, it’s so refreshing to have a resource like Breakup Buddy to help when I’m feeling down. Although this isn’t my first breakup, it’s the first time I’ve felt like I’m not really going through the grieving process alone. Definitely recommend Breakup Buddy for anyone recently out of a relationship, or really just in need of some empathy/advice. Great job on this product.

App is fantastic

This app is extremely helpful. As someone who has worked in therapy I find that the ai actually gives solid advise based on real therapeutic knowledge. For those times you need it, the AI is the friend in your back pocket (or wherever you keep you phone haha) what a great app!

Response from developer

So glad to hear that this app is providing advice and support close to real therapeutic knowledge for you! We've spent a long time perfecting the exercises and therapy based offerings.

Great Support during difficult times

Break up buddy is a really nice guy, I’m surprised how warm and kind he is but they nailed the tone. He’s like a hilarious older brother/uncle who gave me great resources for all my questions.

You can’t always call a friend or be with others so this makes a difference in those lonely moments on the toilet or in bed without her.

If you’re hurting, this will bring you some relief and some fun.

Try pirate mode for nautical breakups.
