I not only met people on this app who understand exactly what I’m going through but even made a friend who I was able to meet in-person! ### 5/5 — Great support! *2024-02-29* This app is so good for people who want to feel connected to others who have been through cancer. Grateful for this app ❤️ ### 5/5 — Great Resource for Struggling Patients! *2024-02-28* As an oncology nurse, I struggled with finding a good solution for patients looking for support groups especially those who are unable to travel until I found Cancer Buddy! The ease and convenience of use is amazing and the community is so welcoming. I highly recommend this app to all patients with cancer who are in need of personalized support! ❤️ ### 5/5 — CancerBuddy review *2024-02-09* This app is great. As a cancer survivor it truly makes me feel much less alone. I am so happy that this app exists. If you are a cancer patient , caregiver or survivor I hope you get this app. ### 5/5 — LOVE this app!! *2023-05-08* This app is exactly what was missing from the cancer community. I’ve made so many connections already with caregivers going through exactly what I am… **Developer response:** Hello jdog02934, thank you for your kind words.

Being a caregiver in the past and now a patient myself I have found this App to be extremely helpful and has helped me feel less alone while navigating these medical journeys. It is super easy to use and was created by the most amazing supportive and compassionate team at The Bone Marrow and Cancer Foundation. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for the support. You make this community awesome and we're happy you are part of it! ### 5/5 — Great resource for the cancer community *2022-08-26* This is a really important way for patients, caregivers, and family to connect with others in their area, with a similar diagnosis, at the same institution or in any way that is helpful to build a supportive community. **Developer response:** Hello librarygirlnyc, thank you for your kind words. Please keep supporting the app by promoting it with your support circle if it's possible. ### 5/5 — Amazing idea and app! *2022-08-25, version 1.0.8* Wow. This app is such a great tool for the cancer community, I’m so thankful I found it. ### 4/5 — Much better *2022-08-23* Very much wanted to join in, but the initial log in kept going in circles Was able to successfully install the app! I’ve joined - cancer survivor - Hodgkins - and can now offer support to those who may need it **Developer response:** We deeply apologize for the inconvenience when creating an account, this incident has already been solved. We invite you to use the app again and share your experience. ### 5/5 — Great idea! *2022-08-23, version 1.0.8* It’s great to put all these warriors in contact. ### 5/5 — The Healing Power of Community *2022-08-22* When my Dad was diagnosed with AML and underwent a bone marrow transplant, it was difficult to find people who could related to our experience. Cut to Cancer Buddy. My Dad and I are able to connect with other patients and caregivers. Hear their experience, strength and hope. The power of community and these relationships have been paramount in my Dad's healing and my own mental health as a caregiver. ### 5/5 — Wish I had this App...please help *2022-07-30, version 1.0.7* Attempted several times to set up account. I couldn’t get past first screen. Each time I received same message *Exceeded daily email limit for the operation or the account. If a higher limit is required, please configure your user pool to use your own Amazon SES configuration for sending email. ??? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Password *2024-12-31, version 1.9.2* I couldn’t get a password to succeed so I gave up. Too bad a nice idea has to be so well protected. Maybe its to keep out old ladies like me. ### 1/5 — Never ever *2024-11-15, version 1.8.8* Honestly I used it once and it was ehh. No one is ever on it. There’s like three people in El Paso… and I tried to long back on and it said wrong user name… most disliked app ever… ### 1/5 — Can’t get past the log in *2022-07-30, version 1.0.7* Sounded like an interesting app to use but I can’t get past putting in my email and password! ### 1/5 — Error while trying to create an account *2022-07-30, version 1.0.7* After downloading the app, I keep getting this error: Exceeded daily email limit for the operation or the account. If a higher limit is required, please configure your user pool to use your own Amazon SES configuration for sending email. ### 1/5 — Error Message *2022-07-30, version 1.0.7* I’ve tried numerous times to sign up. The error says: Exceeded daily email limit for the operation or the account. If a higher limit is required, please configure your user pool to use your own Amazon SES configuration for sending email. ### 2/5 — I’ll stick to my social media *2022-08-22* Looked at it, but I don’t really see the point. I want support from the people who know me and love me. And on Facebook, Insta, etc there are plenty of ways to connect with other patients and survivors. Cute idea but not for me. I don’t have the energy to follow another channel right now. ### 2/5 — Can’t create an Account *2022-07-29* While I absolutely love the idea, I think the app still needs to work through some kinks. It won’t even allow me to create an account. I get a message saying I’ve exceeded the number of daily logins for my email when I try to create an account/password. Not sure how I can exceed the login access, when I’ve never logged in? Excited to see improvements! **Developer response:** Hello dear Shelly1020 We deeply apologize for the inconveniences in the app, this incident has already been solved, so we invite you to use the app again and share your experience. ### 3/5 — Great in theory… *2023-11-08* Wonderful idea but the app doesn’t seem to work well. It took lots of time to create the profile due to crashing and not loading properly. Once I was done I tried searching the groups but nothing showed up when I typed in the keywords box. All that shows up is the preloaded groups. Finding buddies isn’t very easy either. I can’t search by state. And when I do get results from the filters, they are minimal. So either there’s not many people using the app or it’s not loading properly. Either way, I wish it wasn’t so hard to use. I’ll be looking for other options that are similar. ### 3/5 — Unable to finish account setup *2022-07-29, version 1.0.7* I think this is a great idea, and I think I’d have a lot to offer, but I can’t finish setting up my account for some reason. I get to the email and password page and I get some error message about my account has reached it’s limit and Amazon something something. I’m hoping that because this is a new app, this will be fixed soon. ### 3/5 — A great support tool *2022-05-18, version 1.0.2* Cancer is a difficult journey, this app allows patients and caregivers to support each other through a life changing time. It’s safe, friendly, and easy to use. **Developer response:** Hello Celeryhater, thank you for your kind words. Please keep supporting the app by promoting it with your support circle if it's possible. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — great for connecting with other cancer patients/survivors/caregivers *2025-04-25* i love this app! i was able to meet other cancer patients around my age. it’s easy to use and has specific groups you can use. ### 5/5 — I can’t even put into words what this app has done for me in my life.
