### 3/5 — Constantly crashes

*2025-12-18, version 1.63*

Good app but now it crashes any time I click on a sponsor or sponsee… have no access to it anymore just crashes every time.  Support looked into it and can’t find an issue.  The app was good but I literally can’t have it anymore with it crashing… even after deleting it and downloading again.. same issue.

### 2/5 — Technical Issues

*2025-10-14, version 1.61*

It’s a great concept, but the app hardly stays open for longer than 1 minute.  It will just shut off out of nowhere.  This issue still happens after I deleted and redownloaded the app.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2025-03-30, version 1.61*

Five Star +

### 2/5 — We

*2024-05-24, version 1.58*

Overall, the app is a good one. The reason I gave it a two star reading is because of the commercials. Anytime you reverse one aspect of the app you get commercials and you have to watch them for a few seconds before you can forward it. I don’t like all those commercials.

### 3/5 — Great but far too many ads

*2023-12-19, version 1.58*

This app is great, however on the free version there is so many ads it’s to the point of distraction from focusing on recovery and readings which is what I’ve come to the app for. I definitely expect ads in a free version but there is a huge amount and at every click. And they’re all for addictive repetitive games that addicts don’t need repeated exposure to.

### 2/5 — Constant ads very annoying!

*2023-07-14*

I like the features and it helps as far as the info and what the app has to offer. The problem is the ad that pops up every time I exit off the app or when my screen times out. Other than the annoying ads I like it..

### 3/5 — Needs updated

*2023-05-18, version 1.26*

preamble needs update

### 5/5 — EXTREMELY HELPFUL

*2023-03-06, version 1.26*

Perfect app for the AA newcomer!
Loving it!

### 2/5 — Update in Progress

*2023-03-05, version 1.26*

Just for Today

### 4/5 — Those ads

*2023-01-12, version 1.26*

I understand the ads are necessary for income to keep the site going—BUT some are too pervasive and nagging and some seem questionable for a site oriented to the 12 Steps.

If you have any control over advertising content I would appreciate you using it.

Thank you.

### 2/5 — There is no need for subscription

*2022-10-05, version 1.26*

Great app.  Paying $64 a year for this app is ludicrous and greedy.  Unnecessary. A large portion of that money should be going to the AA program to which this app is profiting from. 

A ONE TIME purchase of $50 would be still be steep but I’d go for that over a subscription.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Spam

*2026-06-09, version 1.65*

Spam pops up saying my phone has been hacked.

### 1/5 — Could be good

*2026-05-18, version 1.64*

So many ads!!! 
To do anything you need to click ads or watch through ads…
It seems insulting.
Also, even if you do watch an ad, you can’t close it out at the end of the ad to get back to the app. 
Horrible experience.

### 1/5 — Too many ads!

*2026-05-11, version 1.64*

Too many ads!

### 1/5 — Too expensive

*2024-12-05, version 1.58*

Money grab

### 1/5 — $$$

*2024-08-16, version 1.58*

It shouldn’t cost money to stay sober

### 1/5 — Sponser

*2024-01-26, version 1.58*

I’ve tried to get a sponsor and really need one and haven’t gotten one response from no one and I really need one

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2023-10-02, version 1.26*

Do not download. This app no longer works. App closes itself down as soon as you open it.

### 1/5 — App Not Working

*2022-12-24, version 1.26*

Tried downloading this app several times over past 2 days and every time it would close down after a minute. Nice idea but if it doesn’t work it’s useless.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2022-11-27, version 1.26*

The app keeps crashing

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2022-07-17, version 1.25*

Crashes when you try to add a sobriety date.

### 5/5 — Success

*2026-01-16, version 1.63*

Thank u God 4
This app

### 5/5 — Sponsorship is sooooo important

*2025-05-16, version 1.61*

Thank you for having the option to find a sponsor as sometimes in small towns there are actually not enough people available. It is laid out beautifully and keeps it simple sweetie

### 5/5 — ADS no stop!

*2025-04-02, version 1.61*

Every single time you try to journal and entry you have to await a one minute add very inconvenient and I would not recommend

### 5/5 — Great reference to have

*2025-01-12, version 1.61*

Great to have with me for life on life terms and also as a quick reference for AA info

### 5/5 — Integral Part of My Recovery!!!

*2025-01-08, version 1.61*

Highly recommend this app! It makes connecting with my sponsor so much easier since I can do my spot check inventory and she can review it and I rediscovered this app again right as I hit my 8th step which makes it so easy to keep track of things! If you own a phone and are in a 12 step recovery program then you would be doing yourself and your sponsor/sponsees a huge favor by utilizing this amazing tool.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2024-10-06, version 1.58*

The toolkit is a good app. It’s very helpful in my recovery. From journaling and working the steps. It has all the literature with it. If you’re in recovery this is the only app you’ll want.

### 5/5 — Working the steps…thank you…working the steps has been a large part of my sobriety.

*2024-03-31, version 1.58*

Thank you for sharing it is great sharing and good reminders of the spiritual path I am on for sobriety

### 5/5 — Good App

*2024-02-03, version 1.58*

Everything is in this app. You can even get a sponsor and work the steps which are outlined in this app. Get it you won’t regret it.

### 5/5 — Extremely impressed with the support

*2023-11-06, version 1.58*

I just want to give a HUGE thumbs up to the developers.  I was having issues with errors and the ability to log in, send daily 11th step statuses and morning journals to my friends via iPhone.  

I was discouraged and about to cancel the app I have been using for over a year.  I reached out and they responded quite professionally and, although it took some time, they fixed the issues and kept in constant contact with me.  

I am beyond impressed and am going to commit to another year of service.  Kudos to you guys!  Keep up the good work.  I am suggesting this app to people because of the quality and service you showed!

### 5/5 — Recovery

*2023-09-30, version 1.26*
