User Reviews

ChantBuddy is valued for daimoku tracking, goal progress, pronunciation accuracy, and portability, offering social features and long-term usage. However, it suffers from recurring bugs and post-update regressions that affect goals, settings, and community features, plus inconsistent gongyo pacing. Users seek improved stability and update quality while continuing to rely on its motivational and practice-supporting capabilities.

Pros

Keeps you motivated and consistent by tracking daimoku and personal goals; it feels like you're not chanting alone.
Improves pronunciation and gongyo delivery, with options for different speeds and clear pronunciation.
Highly portable and long-running: used for years on mobile, like having a personal SGI center in your pocket.
Offers social/sharing features (send daimoku via text, daily encouragement) that support community practice.
Provides visible progress over time, helping maintain rhythm and accountability.

Cons

Frequent bugs and stability issues: app crashes or shuts down, especially on lock or when navigating settings.
Feature regressions after updates: goals, settings, and community modules can become inaccessible or non-functional.
Inconsistent gongyo speed (warp or very slow) and requests for a steady middle pace.

Recent reviews

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!

This app is great to support your daily practice. It keeps track of your daimoku and goals. It helps with morning & evenings prayers & basic chanting. Has access to many supportive resources. I love it!
