### 1/5 — Is This App a Scam????

*2026-07-25*

My wife and I are both in recovery.  We thought this would be an awesome app for us.  I attempted to look at the FAQs prior to purchase but they would not open.  I found the developer on the internet and tried to confirm we could both use this on each of our phones.  Zero FAQ access, the email was returned with an invalid email message.  AT THIS POINT I AM FEELING LIKE I GOT SCAMMED.  Would someone from the developer PLEASE contact me and help?

### 1/5 — Worked for a few months, then stopped.

*2026-02-14*

I got this app shortly after starting attending AA. I found it very helpful. However, after a few months the app failed to advance the date. I had to restart my iPhone each morning to have it reflect the current date. More recently I deleted the app and reloaded it. I did this twice. Now it not only does not advance the date but it does not open at all. Too bad. I’ll need to go elsewhere.

### 5/5 — AA app

*2026-02-09, version 5.5*

A wonderful gift to us, to learn to be sober.💯🙏🏼💯♾️♾️

### 5/5 — A Critical Tool

*2026-01-21, version 5.5*

Let’s not go forward ill-equipped to deal with a deadly disease. This easily accessed resource will provide an important look at the BB.

### 5/5 — The Big Book of AA

*2025-09-24, version 5.5*

This is a great app thank you

### 3/5 — Date error

*2025-04-05, version 5.5*

The daily reflection date is incorrect.

### 5/5 — All of them

*2025-02-18*

I’ve only had the app a couple of weeks so I haven’t really explored it and of course haven’t read the directions, but the speakers are great. All the resources like Alanon, are things that are opening this new comer up to what is available and giving me new avenues to explore. And I am constantly getting answers to the questions that, I believe the God of my understanding, are placing on my mind. I feel like I have a meeting at my fingertips wherever I need it. Having the big book being read to me has helped understand it and makes it easy to look up definitions. Would love to have the 1934ish dictionary as a resource on the app for a better clarity of Bill’s meaning

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are happy to hear you are enjoying the app and finiding it helpful.

### 5/5 — Great Recovery Support

*2025-01-02, version 5.5*

Love the APP.  Use for daily reflections every day, love daily sayings and speakers.

### 5/5 — My recovery

*2024-12-28, version 5.5*

### 5/5 — AA BB

*2024-10-14, version 5.3*

Awesome app. I really enjoy the content in here. It is very helpful to have all this information. Clear relatively ease of use information.

Thank you very much,

Freddie S.
