Shameful *2026-10-09, version 2.5.5* Bad enough to have ads. Inexcusable to have ads that are selling other vices. ### 1/5 — Didn’t like *2026-06-06, version 2.5.2* I hope this cancels as I tried to cancel it. Just wasn’t feeling it. Hardly anyone on that app. ### 1/5 — First app command tap A star *2026-02-16, version 2.5.2* Tapping only one star wasnt difficult thanks to the app creators easy to use design. 5 stars! ### 1/5 — extra books besides big book *2025-03-23, version 2.4.7* says it has the extra books but only shows the big book. i downloaded it to look at as bill sees it but the book was not present. dont like it dont trust it. i’ll just keep my other app of AA. thanks ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2025-03-14, version 2.4.7* I couldn't even log in. 4 times I tried putting in my password and it said the passwords don't match.

This is an anonymous program, now you need an email and want to track us across our other apps? If I could give this app a zero I would. Who ever runs this app took a very good tool from God and now is run by the Devil! ### 1/5 — Change of layout *2023-12-25, version 2.2.30* Having to swipe side to side is terrible to use.
