  • Constant hijacking of your screen- cannot delete account once created

    So many ads you can’t even try this out
    How it got this high of a rating is suspicious
    It’s like downloading one giant malware package to your phone
  • Great tool

    So glad this was recommended!
    I have shared this with many! Not enough people know this is available!
    Love it tracks my days of sobriety for me much easier and exciting!!!

    The sobriety calculator helps immensely for most people. Also, features like the Forum and rewards, and coping tips are so important. Thank you for your thoughtful review.
  • Too much god stuff...

    Too much god stuff...
  • Well made app, but...

    Completely dogmatic twelve step zombie BS. If AA works for you, that’s all well & good, but it’s far from the absolute truth about substance use/addiction/recovery. There are other ways to overcome your dependencies, to stay free of them, to live a full & happy life without them. And yes, there are ways to use drugs or alcohol recreationally that don’t ruin your life in the first place. Pseudo-psychological propaganda like this only serves to further outdated & inaccurate stereotypes and hurt people, individually & as a collective culture; the cumulative subliminal damage religion-based programs like AA inflict far outstrips the amount it improves upon (Which isn’t much; AA & NA success rates match the amount of addicts that surmount their struggles on their own, 5-10% yearly).

    Not only AA in app. Other recovery techniques included. You did not take the time to fully explore the app. Nevertheless, latest research shows AA still the best: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/11/upshot/alcoholics-anonymous-new-evidence.html. However, this app is tailored to individual.
  • Make me no drink with helps.

    Nice peoples do good.
  • Review

    Too many adds
  • US based. Doesn’t work properly elsewhere

    Main issue is that it only displays dollars saved. As I’m in the UK it asked me how much in £ i spent daily, but then reported, after 69 days without drinking, that I had saved $0.00
    Also, the input box for the amount doesn’t accept fractions
    Finally, it claims to count days, but like all other apps, it only counts days since last drink. Am looking for an app that counts days within a time period, or units within a time period. There is nothing for moderation, only complete abstinence

  • full of annoying ads

    i thought ok for bit inspiration I can deal with ads, no annoying and loud. When I am sitting in a public place reading on app suddenly boom loud ads you cant close. Get a counter and few motivation stories and quotes, I think it is a teaser to get people to buy their full app.
