But I've experienced some frustrating bugs for months and they haven't fixed them. I've sent feedback emails before and gotten replies, but it seems they haven't taken my suggestions seriously. Let's see if they fix it this time. ### 4/5 — Need help with some videos *2020-08-23, version 2.8.7* Hi Rtribe, I like the way your layout is so far. I am having some technical difficulties getting to be able to watch some of the free ones that are provided. I have the first set of a 9 part series but still cannot access the free videos that are used in the program as introductory to give a member a chance to see if they’d like to take on the entire program. Can you please assist? ### 3/5 — It sorta works *2020-05-17, version 2.8.4* It’s nice to connect with other people and know you’re not fighting alone. So the app is great for that, but if you care about keeping track of your progress or need a quick way to vent and check in, forget it. App crashes for days, randomly doesn’t save a check in and destroys the history and I have to start over. On a plus side I learned that I will use the app crashing as an excuse to act out, and that I need to mentally prepare and understand that it is just a extra tool to help and nothing more. I have to hold myself accountable. So I guess, thanks rtribe. ### 3/5 — Can y’all fix the problem? *2020-02-16* Error, can’t not log in. ### 3/5 — A needed app, less than ideal performance *2020-02-16, version 2.8.3* A valiant effort to address a great need but it’s time to step up and offer reliability. This app is very useful but there are times Rtribe is a dumpster fire. Often it is not possible to check in and all my history has vanished. Support and FAQ links go to missing pages. Knowledge base is behind an impenetrable login that is not the same login as the app. ### 4/5 — Connection and journaling *2020-01-30, version 2.8.3* This app helps establish these 2 very important parts of My Christian walk on a regular basis, connecting with others and journaling. KirkI also find myself remembering and utilizing the quotes presented on a regular basis. ### 4/5 — Very helpful tool *2020-01-07, version 2.8.3* This is a great tool to help guys stay connected within their groups, track their progress which is motivating, lead other guys, stay accountable, stay situationally aware, journal, and more. I strongly encourage the men I lead to use this App as a part of their recovery. It isn’t perfect but worth every penny. ### 3/5 — Good but could be better *2019-12-14, version 2.8.2* I mostly enjoy this app. It’s helped me find connections with people who struggle with the same things I do. It’s been beneficial in that aspect as well as keeping myself accountable and tracking my sobriety. However, the app itself could use a lot of work. It’s pretty glitchy in that sometimes it won’t let me click on something. It doesn’t seem to work very well with newer iPhones (no Face ID option), and I can’t update my information so my age is outdated. I also wish when I want to comment on someone’s check in that comments would show up for everyone to see rather than send a direct message to the person. I feel like that would give more of a sense of community to the Tribe. I can always message people directly when I want to but just commenting to give encouragement could easily be shown as just a comment. There are some badly needed updates to this app, but the idea behind it is good. They could maybe take some ideas from the way Brain Buddy is set up. That’s another app I’ve used before that had a much better layout. ### 3/5 — Only for men? *2018-07-01, version 2.3.4* This app seems like it could be really helpful. I was about to start one of the courses but realized after listening to the beginning of the video that apparently it’s only for men. Really disappointed because women have this problem too. ### 2/5 — Not enough support *2018-04-10, version 2.3.2* There are some good things about the app. Loved the fingerprint passcode and the victory badges. But ultimately unless you pay for counseling there is nothing else truly helpful. The community chat part doesn’t work at all. It gives you a dozen or so suggested people to anonymously friend and then supposedly you can reach out to this people when you feel triggered. But I friended everyone they ever suggested and no one accepted. So this community probably isn’t big enough to make the features actually useful. I couldn’t see paying $40 a week for one reassuring but generic chat message a from a random counselor. They weren’t instant either. ### 4/5 — Helpful *2018-04-03, version 2.3.2* The check-in option is really helpful and easy to be honest. ### 4/5 — Knowledge *2018-03-21* A great way to educate yourself in recovery. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very frustrating to get started *2023-02-03* I downloaded the app, signed up, and now and stuck in an endless loop of signing in and being taken back to the sign in page after signing in. I tried creating an account in case there was something I missed but then I get a message saying I already have account. Not a good start. ### 1/5 — Customer service not a priority *2022-01-21, version 3.0.5* I’ve been on this app for years, and I’ve formed some great relationships. But the tech support is terrible. The app is constantly glitching out, it currently asked if I’m a veteran every time I open it, and the notifications don’t work. I email and email and email and rarely get anything other than an auto response. The last time I was basically told deal with it…we don’t care. They were slightly more professional than that, but the message was clear, we’ll get to it when we get to it, but its not a priority. On an app who’s purpose is to connect people in recovery with people who know what you’re going through so they can help…knowing when people need help, or knowing you can reach out and get help when you need it should be an obvious priority. ### 1/5 — They WONT communicate with me *2020-03-07, version 2.8.4* Ever since i’ve had a problem playing the video section of the app, the communication from RTribe is non existent. The one time I had a quick Responce was when they said we received your feedback and we will circle back around and reconnect with you. We’re working on it. That was many months ago at this point and I’ve made many more attempts to ask why my videos(which I had to pay for), won’t play. When I try to play them, the RTribe app crashes. Shuts down. I would be disappointed if they were free and Rtribes communication with me was this bad, but I actually paid multiples time the fee of $9.99 and so there are many reasons why this is inexcusable. Again, many months have gone by and there has been no Responce from RTribe, and the app has not improved. ### 1/5 — Terrible Support *2020-02-20* I needed to change my password, but when I tried I was told my username was taken. I can’t change my email so I emailed support for help which replied, “rTribe will be back in 1 hour.” OVER 6 WEEKS later I get a response, “Hi there, thanks for reaching out and apologies for the delay and trouble you’re experiencing. Have you been able to reset your password since writing in?” If you are offering a service to help with addiction you need to do better. rTribe should have replied when they said so and had a solution ready. Why would I respond when I cannot trust I’ll get a timely response? ### 1/5 — First impression is disappointing *2019-06-06* I tried it out, app matched me with a counsellor, that counseller told me to find someone else. All other suggested counsellors did not appear suitable and there were only 3 options to choose from!? So I guess no cousellors from this app will do. So I continue my search ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE *2018-11-15, version 2.5.0* If I could I would give them zero stars! I signed up and tried the free trial, only my counselor Lisa Benivados or whatever never showed up, 7 days went by and not a word. I contracted the support and they claimed, I could get my trial again and connect with someone they guaranteed to show...but now the Co-Founder Josh, is claiming they can’t do anything about it and wants me to instead pay to speak with a counselor, and they will match what I can pay but I have to pick a plan all of which is over $100. This is completely insane, why do I have to pay because they didn’t make sure the people they have can show up! I’d watch out if I were you, cause if it happened to me it’ll happen to you! ### 1/5 — Avoid — scammers *2018-09-08* I thought this would be a great app based on the concept. Not so. I paid for a subscription that never activated. Then got charged for a purchase I never made. Avoid this app! ### 1/5 — Last few update has ruined a great tool *2018-03-09, version 2.2.1* When I first started using this tool it was fantastic. Easy to make daily post, easy to connect and share with others, easy to encourage one another the last few updates has made it terrible frustrating to use. In fact, 90% if the contacts I’ve made on here seem to have stopped checking and rarely respond when I inquire how they are doing - which tells me they are no longer actively using it. This is a great lesson in how to take something and by adding enhancements which allow the developer more information ruins the experience for the people I assume you intended to help. If you don’t figure it out soon I will be joining the ranks of the former users I’ve mentioned here. ### 1/5 — This a religious community? 🤦‍♂️ *2017-12-29* First the app acts like it has its modern science and research sorted, then you watch the first intro video and it’s all about God, faith, biblical program and such. Might be OK if you’re a religious person, but VERY misleading if you’re not. Uninstalled ### 2/5 — Great app but needs improvement *2024-10-23* I would give this a higher review as I’ve been using this for years and I feel that it has helped. However, I just now wrote a long post on the app only to accidentally slide down the check-in window panel and completely lose everything that I wrote. That is why I decided to give this app two stars. It should never be that easy to accidentally lose a bunch of progress in any software. now I have to go back and remember everything I wrote and write it all again and this is not the first time it has happened Also many times it fails to post and sometimes the news feed stays blank, or the check button doesn’t load the check-in panel. To the developers, please consider changing this, and I will consider increasing my rating. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome resource! *2020-06-24, version 2.8.6* While the app can be a bit buggy from time to time, I can easily overlook that for the wealth of information and the abundance of support I can find in this one app. Absolutely love it. 10/10 would recommend. ### 5/5 — Great App but the performance in questi....... *2020-05-20, version 2.8.4* This app is a great app for constant and variable accountability for a variety of addictions and mental health conditions. Alcohol, Drugs, Sex, Depression, Anxiety and others. I am very disappointed to learn that, after re-downloading the app, I am unable to login or sign up. Instead an error message pops up that reads “ AN ERROR OCCURRED, we are doing all we can to fix the problem, please try again later”. I rate it 1 star as it has not gotten resolved after multiple days of trying to login/sign up. I hope to be in contact with the developers to fix this issue. Will continue to update this review. UPDATE*** App is fixed and functioning well. 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-01-20, version 2.8.3* I’ve been using this app and referring both personal as well as professional connections to use this in order to stay motivated and hopeful about recovery! I enjoy being able to connect with people worldwide and sharpen each other (Prov. 27:17). Thanks for developing and making this free! ### 5/5 — Great with a small group *2020-01-08, version 2.8.3* Use app with a small group of friends. Outstanding help. ### 5/5 — I love RTRIBE *2020-01-06, version 2.8.3* RTRIBE has helped me kick my porn addiction. I am a better husband, father & man bc of it! The daily checkins are huge. The only recommendation I have to lower the pricing for the one on one counseling. Or offer a lite tier with less communication for $10-$30 a month. Maybe to touch base once a month or every two weeks with the counselor? ### 5/5 — Strongly recommended *2019-11-25, version 2.8.2* I have suffered from addiction for 25 plus years. I’ve been in counseling and 12 step programs for this. This app has helped me with accountability and keeping track of my days of sobriety. It allows me to reach out and seek help when I’m needing to talk with somebody or when I feel like I’m going to act out. It is an excellent app and I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Essential *2019-03-17, version 2.6.2* This app has been essential to my recovery efforts. It's simple to use, put you in contact with others who are seeking recovery, and provides accountability. ### 5/5 — Progression. *2018-10-03, version 2.4.0* This app really does help one see their progress and/or lack of progress. If one just uses it as a compulsive thing then it won’t help. It’s great that the app reminds you daily to check in. ### 5/5 — Worthy *2018-07-26, version 2.3.5* The app and all its features help me and others remain connected to one another and I enjoy it. I believe it is an effective tool of many in my journey of recovery. ### 5/5 — Great App *2018-04-13, version 2.3.2* Would definitely recommend to anyone who has a group of people thy are working together to fight addiction with. Great interface. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
