### 5/5 — Just remember you're worth it

*2015-02-19, version 1.0.4*

This rocks!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2014-06-16, version 1.0.4*

So far so good- just got this app and am very happy to have some sanity with me wherever I go! I paid for the discounted $9.99 which covers all access.. Because I know I'll need and want to use it. Thanks for creating this!!

### 4/5 — Great recovery tool

*2014-06-10, version 1.0.4*

Lovely app and easy to use. Would have liked the steps to be available to read and incorporated into the app. I upgraded to use all the tools and it's excellent. I especially like the spot check inventory.

### 4/5 — Glad it's here

*2014-01-27, version 1.0.0*

I'm new to the whole AA / Al-anon stuff in general. I was very pleased to see this offered in an app. However I wish it did have some passages to read or inspiration reading attached to it. I have only been to 1 al-anon meeting and I have a lot to learn and feel that at least the passages to the one day at a time book would be great to add. This is just my opinion. I am really enjoying the app so far and again grateful it is on here.

### 4/5 — Underwhelmed

*2014-01-25, version 1.0.0*

I got this hoping this would have some alanon specific content but it's the same as the aa one. However the aa one (my spiritual toolkit) has just upgraded to have a link to daily reflections. This doesn't even have the just for today's? However the prayers are handy and the inventory tool very good as I said same as the aa one they have. Get the just for today's on here and a link to alanon daily reading and I would give 5 stars.

### 1/5 — customer service doesn't exist

*2021-01-25, version 3.1.1*

i regret this purchase. the nightly inventories are a nightmare to look back on. i made entries every night for the last four months. if i want to review the information to compare, review my progress, i have to click day by day through to review. this makes it impossible to look for patterns in my behavior. i dont need a list of dates, i want to see my answers next to each other.  i want to return the app, it's a waste of money to get the premium version.

### 1/5 — Nothing helpful...unless you pay

*2019-09-04, version 3.1.1*

Pay $3 for this and $3 for that....no thanks!

### 1/5 — Journal does not work

*2014-02-07, version 1.0.1*

After using this $3.99 app for two weeks, the Journal function stopped working, which I consider the most important aspect of this app.  Do not buy this, it is a waste of money.

### 2/5 — MRT

*2016-12-31, version 1.3.0*

Very disappointed! Alanon only uses its conference approved literature, not AA or any other 12 step literature. Otherwise MRT could be very good. I hope you change it to reflect the Alanon literature. Thanks!

### 2/5 — Alpha version with bugs

*2014-02-12, version 1.0.1*

Downloaded the app on my ipad air and it's very basic with lots of user interface issues and bugs.  If the developer keeps at it, it has the potential to be good. For now, I recommend waiting for some real upgrades.  It will update my review if if see improvements.

### 3/5 — Alateen

*2022-04-24, version 3.1.1*

No it doesn’t seem to be anything on her about Alateen even though it says there is. It seems more like AA than Al-Anon.Prayers are all AA prayers am I missing something? Trying to find an Al-Anon meeting for a teenager. Any help would be appreciated I’m in the Jacksonville area.. Thank you in advance.

### 4/5 — Thanks for your service

*2016-07-11, version 1.0.4*

I have found this app has enhanced my recovery by providing me with the structure I need for daily practice of the steps. Thank you to its creators for this great contribution to service.

### 4/5 — Useful tool

*2015-03-11, version 1.0.4*

It is no replacement for pen and paper due to the limited gratitude a and character defects but it's great for when doing things the traditional way isn't appropriate and the prayers are very handy to have in here

### 4/5 — Useful and user-friendly

*2014-09-12, version 1.0.4*

The app is very useful, with recovery support tools you would expect to have access to. It's also user-friendly and uncomplicated.

### 4/5 — Lovely

*2014-06-25, version 1.0.4*

Just a quick note to say thank you to all who are contributing to the recovery of those who REALLY want to recover from not being happy:)

### 5/5 — Excellent App!

*2020-06-05, version 3.1.1*

I love this App!  I start every morning with “On Awakening”, “Serenity Prayer” and “Third Step Prayer”.  I use the journal every day.  It is great to have a portable tool like this that I can take with my everywhere.  It will be easy to take with me and use privately when I am camping with my friends this summer. Also, being able to have the added security of a password for entry and encryption of my journal has given me the extra security I need to journal freely and honestly - I don’t have to be concerned about anyone ever reading it!  Thank you for this sobriety tool kit!!!

### 5/5 — Thanks for helping to keep it simple! Love the app

*2017-10-15, version 2.2.2*

Just what I was looking for!!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2017-08-18, version 2.2.2*

This is everything in one convenient place (actually, you can access it from your phone, tablet or computer).  I especially love the inspirational aspects and a place to take regular inventory and/or journal.  I am also impressed that it's a one-time fee and includes all future updates and new additional features as they are released.

### 5/5 — MRT

*2017-02-21, version 2.2.2*

It's an really nice way to start my day reading "On awakening" from the big book. Keep up the good work.

### 5/5 — Great recovery app!

*2017-02-17, version 2.1.3*

I love this app especially the daily journal and gratitude list.  I also read the prayers every morning.  A great way to track my feelings, thoughts and progress.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2017-01-02, version 1.3.0*

Great recovery tool that allows me to do a quick spot check and email it to my sponsor. I really like that the nightly inventory uses guided questions too.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2016-01-11, version 1.0.4*

I'd recommend this app to anyone in recovery because it is very helpful and simple to use.

### 5/5 — Grateful

*2015-05-05, version 1.0.4*

I am grateful for this program and loving the access to an app where I can work my program and have it secured, maintaining the privacy of my thoughts.
