### 3/5 — Not enough Zodiac signs

*2020-05-12*

In the quiz section, the question of zodiac sign lacks 2 signs including Aries and Taurus. Other than that sofar so good

**Developer response:** Hi Soleil1399,

Thanks for pointing this out, this issue is already on our radar and will be rectified in the next update!

Thanks,

The LifeBuoy Team

### 4/5 — A couple bugs but good

*2020-06-02*

The meditation section has a bug on mindfulness island - the app needs a mechanism to keep your phone open and unlocked while you meditate otherwise you find yourself disengaging with it to tap your screen to keep it awake. 
There is also a bug with the mood journal thing - it takes me to put in an emotion and then freezes the app completely. I have to close it and reopen the app and have only successfully logged a mood once because I manually entered it. 
Other than this the app is really helpful and I think once the bugs are handled it will be very good. Especially the guided meditation offered and the toolbox.

**Developer response:** Hi Tara, background audio functionality is already in the works and we're hoping to add this in one of the next updates. As for the mood gauge bug, we haven't come across this before and can't seem to reproduce this on any of our devices. If you wouldn't mind getting in touch with us at pts@blackdog.org.au and providing any more details you can, it would help immensely in getting it sorted! Thanks,The LifeBuoy Team
