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.

I would like to be able to go back to specific daily encouragement passages. Also, you list support options. I, however, have never received a response when I submitted an inquiry.

I’m just here to say that this is useful because it’s better than filling in little boxes on pieces of paper, but just a few little QA tweaks would really help. I think my biggest issue is that you cannot re-order your goals and by default, the oldest goals are first, which is a pet peeve of mine as a QA person. I would never release an app that did that.

I love the app, I reinstalled it after a few years, I love the option of sending Daimoku via text to someone of a session that I had completed. Gongyo @ different speed with a clear pronunciation is wonderful! But being able to keep track of my goals and sessions that can work on the background is great!
