Fortify – Quit Porn For Good Reviews

by Naberius413

Fortify is okay, one of the the main functions of being able to create and complete goals does not work for me, I cannot swipe right to complete goals. I contacted customer service they asked me to send screenshots which I did, and I got a generic response that said they are aware of the problem and thank you for your patience. Other than that the talks are okay, heavy on statistics, but for all of the other services like messaging a coach they want you to pay another subscription on top of what you paid already. To me it is too expensive for what it offers, which is essentially a podcast on different subjects, an online forum among users, and a check-in. (With the goals non-functional for me). Will cancel after my first month.

Nice looking app. I am tempted to subscribe to a premium tier but I really wish there were daily activities that were tangible, actionable items that you could act on i.e. check-in with your ally, exercise, go for a walk, connect with family, pray, watch a good movie, etc... (Similar to iRecovery).
I’d love if these were all connected to a points system. Without this I can’t give Fortify more than 3 stars. Most people on their journey to recovery need a lot more structure and very specific tasks that are outlined for you can be very helpful. It’s not a complete recovery app without this feature.

I love this app and what it stands for. I had previously written a five star review (below), but the new app makes it impossible to have a smooth experience.

-The graphs for the well-being statistics are impossible to understand given they don’t show the overall historical data.
-I cannot edit responses for activities I have done in the post on my phone.
- the fault tracker became a hustle if I want to account for past days. It was great being able to on one click see the entire month.
- on the website I cannot reply to people’s comments.

What I really like about this app is that it didn’t focus on the unwanted behavior, but it rather focus on strengthening important areas of your life. I’m almost done with the program (week 10/12) and through it realized that there are many areas in my life that were not developed. I mentioned Fortify to friends who don’t even desire to stop watching porn, verbais I truly think it’s more of a holistic approach to living a more meaningful life.

I just bought the this app monthly membership and I’m already a fan! Great UI and many ways to engage with Fortify . The login process is a bit annoying needing to log in each time you open Fortify as well as I am never able to get the daily tracker to load and I always forget to track the day of (it’s easier to track the next day because problems usually arise at night for me) so there’s no way to go back and track my progress. That’s the MAIN reason I got Fortify so it’s frustrating that that feature doesn’t work. I may get rid of my subscription if this continues to be an issue. I do think the message boards and daily discussion are great but could have more rules around trigger words like P and M. I think Fortify has great potential and look forward to see its development.

I was thrilled to find Fortify. It takes a holistic view at pornography and aims to empower people who are trying to eliminate its use from their lives.

I would give this five stars but now three times I’ve made a journal entry on the calendar (and written reflection I’ve valued processing) only to have either the dialog box close unexpectedly (by an accidental or slight downward swipe) or have gotten all the way through tracking and hitting “close and save” only to have it not save. Admittedly could be missing something as I’m still new to this but paying for premium features/access has me disappointed at something simple like this not working as it should.

I’ve been using this app for about 2.5 years now and I’m very satisfied with all the features on it.

A few things I’d like to see changes in: ability to print and/or transfer my journal entries to another device/location. Also, in Fortify , the journal feature gets caught to where I can’t see what I’m typing. Hopefully that’s been changed. I haven’t actually been on Fortify for 3-4 months because of that.

I had heard about this app from the FTND campaign and decided that this would be a great way to help me keep track of my accountability to myself and the people I care about to kick poor behavioral habits that are detrimental to the relationships most important in my life. I have loved it so far and feel motivated to help myself and others fight for love, self-confidence, and lasting happiness by talking about the serious harmful effects of pornography on our families and individual lives. To promote something good and selfless rather than selfish and self gratifying.

Addiction to porn isn’t necessarily frowned upon by today’s culture. In fact it’s mostly praised by Hollywood and mainstream entertainment because all they do is sell sex. But over my years of porn addiction it has brought nothing but pain and heartache. As much as I tried to quit in the past, before this app, I always fell again, and again, and again. My faith was wrecked. My marriage on its last leg. I knew I had to do something more.
My wife did some research all while looking for a counselor, and she found this app. The first 24 hours of my membership change my life.
this app is not just A weapon for those who long to not be ruled by this cruel, unrelenting addiction; it is the PERFECT weapon. It’s like bring a gun to a knife fight.
The community on this app is second to none, and there hasn’t been a single time I left Fortify feeling discouraged or hopeless.
this app is not a crutch. It is a powerful program for those serious about their freedom from porn addiction.

If I sign out and sign back in, I’m able to access the tabs at the bottom that allow me to view lessons, track myself, etc.

But the moment I click on “Connect” or leave Fortify , it only allows me to go to my “Ally Dashboard” and check up on those who are using Fortify and have me as their ally.

What gives? Is Fortify not designed to be used by someone who is both in recovery and functioning as an ally for someone else who is using Fortify ?

If so, I feel that’s a major flaw. Part of the recovery journey is accountability as well as community, and if more than one user can’t reap the benefit of holding their friend accountable while also tracking themselves, then Fortify becomes one-sides and sort of useless for all but one person.

Is there a fix for this?

Fortify is incredible. I love all the analytics and all the resources it provides to help you quit porn. The community seems supportive and I love how Fortify encourages you to reach to others.

My only complaint is that I wish there was a way to go back and edit days for completing goals. There have been occasions when I complete a goal and forget the check it off and the calendar marks it as not completed if the next day comes. It can throw off the goal analytics and not make them as accurate.

If you are struggling with porn addiction, do yourself a huge favor and get this app. We have to do the work, but this app leaves no stone unturned in trying to help us.

And it aims for much more than helping us end a damaging habit. It invites us to imagine how to live life in a way that will be individually meaningful for us. I really feel that this app would be valuable for everyone, not just porn addicts.

I would also mention that this app is cosmopolitan, sophisticated and welcoming. It offers a lifeline to everyone struggling with this addiction.

this app is a good resource for positive, healthy, pure, freedom over what is wrong! I enjoy it I think you will enjoy parts too!

I liked a lot of there training despite looking for freedom for over a decade before realizing there was this app. There was still plenty. Also I had ideas to secure my home base before but did a lot more. Kinda felt like they were giving me homework a lot of the time which I really like. I could have fun and be creative with it as well :).

I like its better way to track and learn from setbacks than on my own.

However my favorite thing is the webinars. I have a lot more I still need to watch they keep doing more. Though I am sure you could catch up and have to wait for new ones.

I like the training I got threw 100% to really get the point of it it actually took me a while longer than what they said it would take 12 weeks But I tend to take my time with things really trying to get the point of it so you may be able to do that and do it fast.

I am not promising you that you will find something powerful enough to free you without war courage and so much more. But this app can definitely get you closer and maybe for you it will be the thing that work. The more you do the better in my mind. There is more I could do that I haven’t done. There is coaching there is groups.

Work hard, be brave, be healthy, love what’s right, and make it threw, win completely, oh and Good Luck, good fighting for what’s right.

By far the best program I have used to quit porn in the 13 years I have been trying. The training is new and relevant, and entertaining. Even if you are a regular on nofap and other online communities, this program will teach you new ways to look at and battle the addiction. The subscription price may seem steep at first, but I actually appreciate it now, because much like a gym membership, it keeps me coming back because I don’t want my money to go to waste. I love this program and will continue to use it every day.

I’ve only had Fortify for a few days and I really like it so far. It has all the tools you need to help you recover from pornography. Whether Fortify was recommended to you by someone helping you recover or you’re looking for an app to help yourself recover on your own, this is Fortify for you. For teenagers, they give you the chance to use Fortify for free if you write a small essay about why and how Fortify can be helpful to you. Be able to use Fortify free as a teenager is all thanks to the loyal app users who are paying for a premium subscription!

This is not a get out of jail free card. It is never an easy journey, but for sure, this will help you along in that journey. Fortify gives you guidelines to follow towards a porn free life, and also allows you to track your own progress! Not only that, but continues to provide a platform for many other struggling people to share their stories and their progress with others going through the same thing, absolutely judgment free! Fortify helps you learn from your mistakes, learn from others, and provides a hand to help you up. Fortify is tremendously helpful!

Leaps and bounds above the last iteration of this app. This new iteration includes new content, groups, coaching, and a robust and active online community of other people in the fight. In terms of online paid private group therapy, you’ll be hard pressed to find anything close to this app and that includes their pricing. I work with many of the leading therapists in porn addiction recovery and many are jumping on board with this app in exploring ways they can partner their therapy practices along side it. It is not a replacement for therapy but rather an amazing supplement to it. Trust me, I’ve been through and researched a lot of addiction recovery and education programs, this is one of the best out there. Is it the magic bullet fix to porn addiction? - no, but it will help make YOU the magic bullet.

No app can cure an addiction especially one as pernicious as pornography. But for those who have a real desire to change, who are willing to be teachable and do the work, this is an excellent resource and tool. The readings and videos are as comprehensive as anything I’ve read. The activities and homework make you dig deep, and the badges and notifications help you stay on track. I keep coming back to Fortify for the next assignment. It is helping me stay focused.

I’ve purchased the 1 month subscription to evaluate a little longer but if all goes well I just might purchase the lifetime subscription. Hopefully it will go on sale soon or perhaps someone from their team will read my effusive review and throw me a bone! Hey, one can hope!

I recently got Fortify, but I’ve been trying to find ways to track my purity streak for years. My previous methods have all been very difficult to clearly see my progress, which is one of the things I love about Fortify. I’ve struggled with porn for 7/8 years, but Fortify has taken me to a new level of recovery. I’m able to clearly see my monthly progress with percentages & easy comparisons to previous months. I’m also able to see how long my current streak is and how long my longest streak was. It’s very motivational for me. There’s also a whole community aspect to Fortify , which I have yet to explore. All in all, I’m very pleased with this app and definitely recommend it to anyone struggling with overcoming pornography addictions :)

I was addicted to porn my entire adult life and since I was a teen. I am now porn free for over 3 months and counting. My life has changed, I am more confident, I speak to people more freely without feeling guilty. I have more free conversations with women. I respect them more and see a future where I have a nurturing relationship their parents would approve of. I am in awe of how Fortify has saved me when nothing else could. I had some very bad days but because of the support I received from a kind person on Fortify I got through them. She gave me the strength to carry on. To everyone that reads this - good luck to you. Keep logging in how you’re doing day to day. We are all fallible but if something is worth it we will find a way. It gets easier. You can do it.

Fortify is really good, and I’d give it five stars except for one thing. I’m not able to backdate to the beginning of my streak. It says that “Victories and Setbacks can’t be recorded more than seven days before the day I opened the account”. Unfortunately, I found Fortify about two and a half weeks after I quit, so all of my coins, badges and streak data are inaccurate. It shouldn’t be such a big deal, but it is something I’ve worked hard for and I’d like credit where it is due.

Other than what I mentioned above, Fortify is great. The information is easily digestible and engaging. The menues have a lot of information and are easily navigable.

*Update* it turns out Fortify also has good “Customer Support” as well as options. I asked how to fix the problem I addressed in the first paragraph and I got a reply the next day telling me how to fixed my start date. I’m now giving Fortify a 5 star rating.

I have started down the journey to a pornography free life this last tear. I’ve had a couple sobriety apps that are ok, but this one takes the cake. I had the free one for a couple months, but decided to go all in and paid for the yearly membership. I love all the videos, the trackers, the statistics, the community and applicable tips and tricks to help not only with pornography addiction, but for habits in general. Also the badges and levels are pretty sweet if your a gamer like I was. (New achievements, levels and shiny badges are awesome!)

I can’t recommend Fortify highly enough to anyone who is serious about quitting porn for good and is looking for an informational and helpful way to break the chains of pornography addiction for good.

If there was one thing I could recommend to the developers is to put check marks next to the videos watched in the Learn>Categories section. I can’t tell which videos I’ve watched, and which videos I still need to watch to get the little completion bar to fill up.

I’m a sucker for 100% so that would help me 😅

You guys have done an awesome job and I will continue to recommend this to everyone I know. Thank you. 🙏🏻
