The material is all there but the monotone voice very disappointing

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2026-07-02, version 1.2*

Just downloaded app and it’s broken. Reset the app and still nothing. Will be reaching out for refund and contacting Apple. Hope they fix it

### 1/5 — Well, this was a flop

*2025-11-25, version 1.2*

I downloaded this app, and NOTHING would open. I uninstalled, reinstalled, uninstalled, reinstalled. Nothing. Put your $5.99 towards something more reliable.

### 1/5 — Do not purchase

*2025-01-23, version 1.2*

Paid for app months ago. Has never worked once.

The app is not working. Do not buy!

Purchased it and then tried to use and has an error code “GONE FISHING” 404 PAGE NOT FOUND.

### 1/5 — No Audio

*2020-04-15, version 1.2*

I get no audio. I clicked on “contact us” and the little wheel just spins and spins. I’ve deleted the app (twice) hoping it would load properly . No luck.🙁

### 1/5 — Won’t work

*2020-04-09, version 1.2*

I downloaded the app and when I hit the play button nothing happens and it acts like it’s loading . I tried every chapter. And I had said “not connected to server” but my internet works and all my other apps work fine.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all.

*2020-03-15, version 1.2*

I paid 4.99 and the app won’t play the audio.

### 1/5 — Chapter 1 does not work

*2019-03-20, version 1.1*

Chapter 1 does not work.  Please fix it.

### 1/5 — It will not play

*2018-03-09, version 1.1*

I can not get it to play more than 3 seconds at a time. It’s very annoying.

### 5/5 — Best app

*2020-01-11, version 1.2*

Saves my life everyday!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2019-06-28, version 1.2*

I love this! It's good all around for any addiction! And here, we go back to the very basics with the second edition!

### 5/5 — Live it

*2019-01-12, version 1.1*

It makes easy to read the first 164 pages.

### 5/5 — This app rocks.

*2017-05-11, version 1.1*

Best app ever.

### 5/5 — Great option for drivers and helping others

*2015-10-07, version 1.0*

This is a great way to get a new perspective on the Big Book by listening to someone else read it. Having another persons voice adding their own tones and emphasis is much different than hearing my own voice in my head every time, and I have caught a few things already that I sometimes skim over when reading myself. Also a great tool to help 12th step work with people who may not enjoy reading, or lack the ability to do so. Word of warning: make sure you bookmark each chapter and select download content, otherwise you'll be streaming audio the entire time. Developer said they are working on that when I contacted them. Good support.

### 4/5 — Keeps me on point

*2017-12-14, version 1.1*

I like it's availability and chat options thank you for whoever is making it happen

### 3/5 — AA AUDIO BOOK-where’s the text while read!??

*2018-04-10, version 1.1*

JIUST downloaded this and enjoy having it read, but BOY is the narrator monotone. 

There is no water to rewind 30 sec at a time, you have to try to “drag the ball icon backwards” 

I haven’t figured out how to READ ALONG as it’s read out loud to me because the text words are not visible during audio....

I NEED THIS SO I CAN BE “SPOON FED” the literature since I can’t seem to sit and read the bloody book to help me.

### 2/5 — No the whole BIg Book

*2019-02-09, version 1.1*

Unless I’m missing something, and please let me know if I am, this recording does not include any of the stories in audio.  This is a significant omission and results in only sharing a portion of the Big Book’s message.
