I like the sobriety tracker, too! Thank you!!! ### 5/5 — BBAA *2017-08-19, version 4.0* It's great having this app on my phone! I use it all the time. I'd love to see it expanded to to the 12 and 12....and add an AA dictionary... throw in some history .....LOL. Thanks again for making this available online! ### 4/5 — Online BigBook is handy! *2017-08-09, version 4.0* Very handy when you can't carry the real thing. There's a few missing commas/punctuation errors, but the main message is there! My only suggestion besides that is to put the names of the chapters on the front page table of contents. Thanks! ### 5/5 — GREAT AA RESOURCE *2017-07-17, version 4.0* Provides strength in times of crisis. ### 5/5 — Mb28 *2017-07-15, version 4.0* Quick and easy to use I use it often ### 5/5 — Great APP *2017-07-04, version 4.0* Great for the shares and reading the Big Book when you don't have your hard copy Also great on keeping track of your sobriety👍🏻 Would recommend to anyone in recovery ### 5/5 — Big book review *2017-06-28, version 4.0* I like having it on my iphone. Works pretty well. We strive for progress not perfection. ### 4/5 — Big Book by chapter by page; easy to use *2017-06-20, version 4.0* simple yet effective. a foundational resource for those early in sobriety or those who want a quick BB reference source. keep track of your days of sobriety with calendar calculator. can be a little glitchy not supported by latest iOS updates. ### 5/5 — Site rating *2017-06-17, version 4.0* Love it for Sobriety date--after if you don't know yours you haven't had it yet!! ### 5/5 — Great companion! *2017-06-16, version 4.0* The only thing I would like to see is a bookmark also. This is a great app for me when I don't want to get out my "hardcover "! Also helpful in tracking number of total days sober. ### 5/5 — Great *2017-06-03, version 4.0* I really appreciate it and am thankful for the effort that went into this app. ### 5/5 — Great to always have it with me *2017-04-29, version 4.0* Easy to use. Ultra convenient ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2017-04-22, version 4.0* Great app, use it everyday. Especially like the days sober calculator. Thank you!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Subscription *2020-11-02, version 4.0* How to cancel the subscription? ### 1/5 — Stuck on waiting *2016-04-17, version 3.2.1* Worked for a day, now the icon says 'waiting' but it never opens. Tried deleting it. But it is still there, waiting.... ### 2/5 — Needs Chapter names and page numbers! *2017-10-18, version 4.0* Nice to have the Big Book on my phone but having the chapters numbered 1, 2, 3, etc., without the titles (How it Works, etc.) and the page numbers included In that chapter, like a real Table of Contents, makes it VERY slow to find anything. Also, it’s necessary to close a chapter and open the next one – it’s not contiguous. Lots and lots and lots of scrolling. It would be SO fabulous to have a “go to page” button!! Please include Bill W’s Spiritual Experience. ### 2/5 — Fails *2016-02-24, version 3.2.1* 1. App doesn't save position when switched back and forth. 2. Can't open by page number. 3. Ads. You are evil. ### 3/5 — Typos - Please edit *2017-08-12, version 4.0* This is our core text. There should not be errors. Please fix the typos and misspelling. Thanks ### 3/5 — Good Content.'Crashes to much for me *2017-07-18, version 4.0* It IS one of the free ones. ### 3/5 — Nothing like a FREE big book on my phone... *2015-01-01, version 3.2.1* Was told to read the Dr.'s Opinion last night. And being Recovering Broke this was a lifesaver last night. Thanks! Would be a 5 star review if it hadn't of crashed on me. Keep coming back... Would have been a better review if I could get anything other than the big book to pull up. Fix the glitch and you've got a gem on your hands. ### 3/5 — No bookmark??? *2013-11-13, version 3.2.1* It is an ok app but A: you can't hide the fact that it is for AA sense it says so on the title of the app on the screen. Not a good thing. And B: there is no highlight or even bookmark option so you can't mark things important to you and you can't save your place to come back later. It starts over again and you have to scroll for a while to get back to where you Are. Not cool!!! ### 3/5 — Not bad but could be better *2012-10-29, version 3.1* Need bookmarks so that you can return to previous location. I wish the app would remember the same place when you opened and closed the app. Should include a description beside each chapter. i.e chapter 5 - into action ### 3/5 — Good + *2012-10-06, version 3.1* Great To be able to carry it with me. I hardly ever read a paper book anymore. I just wish I could highlight and bookmark. Love the daily sayings. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome Love that it keeps track of sobriety also *2021-11-10, version 4.0* Saved my but more than once 💝 Thank You ### 5/5 — Don’t leave home without it. *2021-05-05, version 4.0* I’ve used this app for many years.
