It showed me where meetings were held. When traveling it provides me with fellowship options anywhere I might be and also the daily reading. I moved a week ago and I once again it’s providing the lifeline to meetings I need. ### 5/5 — Great- simple listing of steps and literature *2021-09-08, version 1.5* This is a great “big book” and step reference. You don’t need a bunch of clicks to get you to it. For daily reflection and reference it’s very well done. Those of us in the rooms will take any amount of help we can get. ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2021-08-26, version 1.5* This is a great App that has many materials to help you on your journey to sobriety. ### 5/5 — All Inclusive! *2021-07-24, version 1.5* What a fabulous recovery app! This is everything I need at my fingertips and I can use it all day, especially when I am unable to sit and read. Audio tapes are so helpful as I have trouble retaining what I read! ### 5/5 — 12-step guide *2021-07-06, version 1.5* This guide is a wonderful way to take your path regarding the 12 steps. ### 5/5 — AA App *2021-06-23, version 1.5* Awesome! User friendly at the tips of my fingers, it’s didn’t get any easier. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads! *2026-05-22, version 1.51* Do not appreciate opening a doc and the app taking me straight to a cleaner app it insists I buy. I appreciate the help with the 12 steps but that is annoying AF. If it keeps up I’m deleting the app. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-11-10, version 1.51* Really. adds. Wow ### 1/5 — Rip off *2021-04-08, version 1.4* Paid 14.00$ and I’m still getting adds, bummer ### 1/5 — Should be higher but.... *2021-03-05, version 1.4* I paid $9.99 to have ads removed and I still get ads. If this can be fixed I’d give it 5 stars ### 1/5 — Need it in French please *2020-03-13, version 1.4* Doe an app in French exist? ### 1/5 — This app breaks the traditions of AA *2017-09-13, version 1.2* This app breaks tradition six and eleven and with should not have advertisements in these apps. ### 1/5 — Irritating advertisements *2017-08-28, version 1.2* I thought this would be a wonderful companion turns out it's nothing more than a website for ridiculous size advertisements that cover the whole page I wouldn't mind so much if it was just a little banner at the bottom but it's not if you want a really good big book for $.99 you can purchase 12 steps the big book companion wonderful book with everything that you need without any advertisements ### 2/5 — AA *2019-11-17, version 1.4* AA is a non profitable organisation. It is designed to help and guide. Why do we have to have pop ups and to remove them, pay for them? Thanks ### 2/5 — Literature *2019-10-09, version 1.4* I was able to get Daily Reflections until this summer. Now the page is blank. Miss it! ### 2/5 — Spelling/Grammar mistakes, but GOOD RESOURCE *2018-03-17* - ***Excellent pocket resource with prayers, steps, big book passages.*** However: creator should remove himself from the equation - The hurtful personal backstory with one sponsor adds nothing (sounds vindictive) and somewhat taints an otherwise program-focused app—as one guy understands it. - I was turned off by the plug for other (possibly wonderful) apps for purchase. I get the guy wants to make a living, be able to afford the time to create more Aaa apps, but that’s not how AA works. Be of service. Support yourself charging for upgrades in other non-A.A. apps, or find another way to support yourself. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s great *2026-05-18, version 1.51* Love it it really helps my recovery ### 5/5 — Great little app *2024-11-21, version 1.51* I have found this app a really useful guide to the steps. I work with a sponsor, use the big book and 12 and 12. Just before I start I use this guide as almost a really easy to read summary. Having someone tell their experience in a jargon free way, in just a few lines really frames my step work nicely and keeps me on track should I start to stray or over think. ### 5/5 — All Inclusive! *2024-07-05, version 1.51* What a fabulous recovery app! This is everything I need at my fingertips. Very helpful for hosting as all the standard readings and step prayers are right there! Super easy to use. Audio tapes are so helpful as I have trouble retaining what I read! ### 5/5 — The Perfect Helper *2024-05-03, version 1.51* Everything you need to fight the craving, to remind you of your higher power, and to live one day at a time.
