App is great

Really good for prompts and help section . I don’t lock mine as my phone is generally safe with me.. also the questions though repeat. It helps with the thought process 👍

Paperless 4th Step

I used this app to complete my first 4th step. I then used the inventory I created on the app to do my 5th step with my friend/sponsor. The app works well for what it is. It’s a simple tool to help accomplish the work the Bjg Book tells us to do. If I can offer any advice it is don’t put off your 4th step. Get it done and find someone like the Big Book says to do your 5th. I know it is scary but I promise it’s totally worth it!!!! It works if you work it ;)

Crashes and erases text

This is one of the most worthless apps. After a paragraph is complete or even several paragraphs. They are all instantly deleted and it’s blank. The app crashes every single time I go to print. I have yet to be able to use this app successfully.

Brilliant

A breeze to use! I made huge strides in my program because this app gets to the meat and bones by being concise and doesn’t let you waste time on long dissertations.
Love it!

Portrait mode only.

Fine for iPhone. IPad with keyboard? Nah.

Best recovery booster ever!!!

4th steps can be hard already so finding a tool that can kinda break it down for you is like priceless. This app helped give me the ability to pause and consider my narrative while putting it down ‘on paper’ in the app! And it’s organized, it’s perfect!

My 4th step

…was basically impossible before this app. I have crippling ADD and started countless times over the years and never finished. Finally feeling like I might actually get it done.

Great app! Could I get one for CR?

I think this app is great! I use it for my daily inventory. I am doing the Celebrate Recovery (CR) 12 Step Study. Could we get a 4th step app just like this that will correspond with the CR 4th Step columns?

Awesome

I love this app

Good solution

I was procrastinating on my 4th step . Then I stumbled across this app. Makes my life easier . Thanks for creating it .

Only use in portrait not landscape

I have a separate keyboard with my iPad and i can use it because the app only appears in portrait mode and not in Landscape mode. Very annoying.

Not the real thing

Shame on you, using the A.A name to sell this free app. Using check marks in an app (during a particularly boring Zoom meeting?) rather than engaging in a prayerful, introspective process with a sponsor who has done the same work and had a spiritual awakening because of it. For shame.

Huge Godsend

This app is very well thought out — crystal clear interface, delightfully intuitive! It is thorough; it leaves nothing out. Imagine: our step work is in our hand (or pocket) wherever we are! And it’s exportable—so it can then be printed out for the 5th Step! Also check their other excellent apps. Hugely thankful!

Love the app!

This is such a great app, especially because it follows suggestions straight out of the big book! But please, change the age on this. 12 is a bit young don’t you think?

Rotate and dark mode

Thank you for this aid. It would be even better if it would rotate for the iPad and if it had dark mode. As always anonymity is a key. Thank you.

REALLY helped me with my 4th step!

REALLY helped me work my 4th step.

Great App

Conflict, challenges? Quick and to the point and able to deal with it. Password protected, private, can easily edit. This is a five star app and I use it often along with their ten step app.

The crappy technology will leave you with a big resentment

I so wanted this to work. Great concept and it actually prompts inventory taking as outlined in the BB...but the execution is HORRIBLE. Couldn’t make it through the first entry without getting frustrated. Looked at the help section and it’s ridiculous. It’s easier to put pen paper than deal with how frustrating actually using his app is. I never leave reviews but I think because the concept has so much potential, that perhaps the maker can grow in understanding and effectiveness and fix user friendliness. Will look for another app and stick with My Spiritual Toolkit instead.

Ugh also it leaves an extra unopenable app button on home screen that can’t be deleted even when I deleted the app.

Landscape Mode

I think this app would be very helpful with typing out a 4th Step except I cannot get it into landscape mode and with my iPad and keyboard it’s giving me a stiff neck.

A must have in recovery

This app is a helpful must have for those who are sober and who actively work steps.
