Unprofessional and not getting subscribed service

Not getting the subscription perks, prompting to add more subscriptions. Sent an email to attached address for support, but email bounced back as it does not exist. No customer care. Very disappointing as the association with SGI contradicts values attached to this app.

Hugely helpful

I’ve been using ChantBuddy for years and have logged millions of daimoku with it. I live in a country without an SGI organization and this app has been a lifeline for encouragement and guidance as well as having the feeling that I am chanting along with a group! Awesome with headphones or in the car. I love how it lets me set and achieve goals and the community resources are fantastic. Thank you for encouraging my practice and helping me raise my life condition!
