### 4/5 — Add a question

*2025-11-22, version 2.4*

Add the question-“was I self seeking”?

### 5/5 — straight forward and easy to use

*2025-10-17, version 2.4*

everything you need for a good nightly inventory

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2025-10-02, version 2.4*

I really like this app. It is quite useful in easily doing my 10th step every day.

### 5/5 — Nightly inventory

*2025-09-10, version 2.4*

I really have slacked on my tenth step since being sober. This tool is really good for guiding me on a path to enlarge my nightly inventory, and in turn become closer to my higher power. I especially like the notes section it gives you. I find my self adding prayers and updates ok where I’m at on that day. You can also go back and look at them. Good stuff

### 5/5 — Gratitude is my default

*2025-09-03, version 2.4*

One of the highlights of my nights as I unwind and choose to remember the positive things and not the negative 🙏❤️

### 5/5 — Traveling-tech

*2025-09-02, version 2.4*

This app got me through some tough times in It kept my fellowship (a 10-11 step closed meeting) talking about the real stuff we needed to talk about, and it has helped me sponsor and get reconnected to my higher power when I have strayed. Godspeed fellow travelers.

### 5/5 — Five star!

*2025-07-28, version 2.4*

Great app. Very helpful on keeping me on track

### 5/5 — Hp

*2025-07-02, version 2.4*

It helps me write specifically word each question each day to where I would it do so if I had to get out pen and paper. I’m really enjoying the app and it keeps me doing. The step work daily.

### 5/5 — This is my second day

*2025-06-18, version 2.4*

Out of 6 possible apps for 10th Steps, after installing and reviewing them all, this one lets my sponsor review it and it is easy to have a nightly review. I like it a lot.

### 5/5 — 10th step app

*2025-06-16, version 2.4*

I find this very helpful in following through with this part of my program . It is very convenient and easy to use!

### 4/5 — Graat

*2025-04-22, version 2.4*

So helpful not to have to go write down things. Right at finger tips. Could be more questions. Love the comment section

### 4/5 — Crashes and then I have to delete the app and lose all the info

*2025-04-02, version 2.4*

The content of the app is great. But I have had it crash so many times where I couldn’t send a nightly 10th step to my sponsor and then had to delete the app and reinstall it. In the process I lose all my old saved nightly 10th steps which would’ve been nice to randomly look back on after some time in sobriety and see how far I’ve come. If this can be fixed, then I would give it 5 stars!

### 5/5 — Stop asking me to rate everyday please lol

*2025-02-08, version 2.4*

Stop asking me to rate everyday please lol

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2025-01-27, version 2.4*

Simple and straightforward.

### 5/5 — It works if you work it

*2025-01-06, version 2.4*

Excellent app. For Narcotics Anonymous as well. I am working steps 9 and 10 right now and this is a great tool for me. It also keeps me check with my recovery, self centeredness, resentment, and just overall being mentally healthy. Thank you!!!

### 5/5 — 10th Step Review

*2025-01-05, version 2.4*

Quick and easy way to review one’s day.

### 5/5 — Motivating

*2025-01-02, version 2.4*

In the digital age, this makes doing a regular inventory much more accessible.  Very appreciated!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-12-15, version 2.4*

It is life saving and very well passive impact on my life

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — This is step 11

*2024-05-06, version 2.4*

Step 10 is a daily practice, meant to be done throughout the day as needed. This confuses folks. Page 85/86 explains Step 11 as a nightly practice. Cool app, but maybe rename it what it is, and I encourage people to chat with sponsors about step 10 ;)

### 1/5 — No score at the end

*2023-04-18, version 2.4*

No score at the end

### 1/5 — Version 2.FAIL

*2020-01-02, version 2.2*

This was a great app until the latest update. No questions appear anymore. Have attempted to delete app and reinstall several times to no avail. Even contacted the app developer and received a quick response  letting me know that they were working on it. Felt optimistic. Several days ago, I received an inquiry to see if the problem had been resolved to which I informed them that it has not. Crickets. Hope that this bug is fixed soon. Angel R.

### 2/5 — Good app, except privacy security doesn’t work.

*2023-10-05, version 2.4*

The passcode/Face ID feature to keep prying eyes off your inventory does NOT work.

All you have to do if you are someone trying to be nosy, is hit cancel on the passcode prompt, and it allows you to go to the next screen and see saved inventories.

Do NOT download if you are concerned about your privacy.

### 2/5 — 10/11

*2023-08-18, version 2.4*

I was going to download this but I think it’s important to say. The 10 step is a spot check inventory throughout our day or if something is gravely disturbing us. The 11th step is our review of the day and petition to God in the morning and when we retire we ask ourselves the questions listed here. It’s very specific in both 12 step books. I find a lot of people are confused on this. A ten step would look something like this: resentment, fear, harm, sex
Choose one and then
I’m resentful at: 
The cause is:
Affects my:
My mistakes:
If we find at the end of the day(11) we have been resentful we spot check it in step 10

### 2/5 — Not bad

*2020-12-23, version 2.4*

Simple and easy app idea but doesn't work well sadly. There is a glitch with security questions where you cannot scroll down to submit third question so cannot lock the app. Also the nightly inventory doesn't save anywhere

### 3/5 — Good but

*2026-01-10, version 2.4*

… I don’t like getting a percentage score on my sobriety every night

### 3/5 — Simple and easy!

*2025-01-21, version 2.4*

This one is simple and easy to use without being overly flashy. one thing I wish it did was allow you to use the return to start a new paragraph in your notes section. 
But so far this is the easiest one for me to use consistently!

I’d also love the ability to say what I did well and what I would like to do tomorrow to continue to grow. That would be a great addition!!

### 3/5 — Not a nightly app

*2024-12-03, version 2.4*

Love the app but this is not a nightly inventory app. The nightly inventory, step 11, start on page 86. This is the spot check inventory taken from page 84, which is the 10th step. 

I’m pretty disappointed that the developers confused the 10th step spot check inventory with the 11th step nightly then proceeded to name the app “10th step” 

If you don’t believe me, open your big book and go to step 11 starting on the bottom of page 85.

### 3/5 — Periodic inventory

*2024-10-22, version 2.4*

I wish this app could download all entries into a csv file in order to review and spot trends. A periodic inventory helps spot areas that are in need of special attention.

It is easy to use and very simple I really like it a lot

### 5/5 — 10th Step Review

*2026-07-14, version 2.4*

I have been using this app for years and found it to be very helpful. I answered the questions to the best of my ability then send it to my sponsor every morning. She reads it and sometimes will comment on it. We both benefit from it. I have been sober for 43 years in one program and 6 years in another. I find this app so useful I tell everyone.

### 5/5 — Concise Tool

*2026-07-11, version 2.4*

Thanks for providing this simple tool for nightly review

### 5/5 — Súper easy

*2026-05-26, version 2.4*

Don’t need the bells and whistles. Gets the job done. I as an alcoholic love to complicated things and this is simple

### 5/5 — Thoughtful way to review the day

*2026-04-19, version 2.4*

This is a quick, efficient way to work the 10th and 11th steps.

### 5/5 — Easy, Convenient, Efficient

*2025-11-24, version 2.4*

Easy and simple to do. It helps me stay consistent and no excuses cause my phone is always with me.

### 5/5 — Covers what I need now

*2025-11-19, version 2.4*

In the future I may want to expand on these questions but it’s just what I need.

### 5/5 — Turtle Trish

*2025-11-08, version 2.4*

I’m grateful for this simple app and the fact that it only takes 3 minutes for me to do!  There’s no excuse not to do this 10th every night

### 5/5 — Grateful

*2025-10-24, version 2.4*

Grateful for thoughtful questions to guide me deeper into recovery, even though it is hard.    
My ESH can help others if I share it.
