It doesn’t reflect the appropriate date. Your date changed correctly to indicate the leap year extra day in February, but your daily reflection did not. ### 5/5 — AA app *2023-12-22, version 5.3* A wonderful gift to us, to learn to be sober.💯🙏🏼💯 ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-07-29* It’s super easy to spend time in the Big Book daily on an app like this. User friendly, great reader’s voice and handy. I love this app and knowing I can turn it on any time of the day or night is helpful. ### 5/5 — Morning ritual *2023-07-01, version 5.3* This is my morning ritual! Easy to navigate, good resources for literature and speakers. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-02-13, version 5.3* This is the second best book ever. First being the Bible. Love it. ### 5/5 — Sobriety App *2023-01-20, version 5.3* This App has helped me immensely since my Sponsor made sure I always knew how many days of Sobriety I have, and to never forget it!!! Also, all the contents of the Big Book! Thank you! ### 5/5 — From one Alcoholic to another…. *2023-01-14, version 5.3* If you upgrade to Premium, you get a virtual coffee pot that has seen better days. It tips to a full 120 degrees, and is always empty! ### 5/5 — I like this app nice and handy and uplifting *2022-11-16, version 5.3* Up lifting like the audio ### 5/5 — Very useful… *2022-09-12, version 5.3* Perfect app for when you need an extra motivation! ### 5/5 — Love this app but… *2022-08-01* I use this app daily and love it. I don’t know if it’s happening across the board but as of the last couple weeks the audio clip will have someone’s name but the clip will be of Chris Raymor (spelling unsure?) but it’s definitely him but will have a different name?? ### 5/5 — AA big book is the perfect tool *2022-06-05, version 5.2* It is what I needed when I don’t have my book around. ### 5/5 — AA big book *2022-01-01* All that I have read and listened to is wonderful ### 5/5 — My favorite app. *2021-12-22* I’ve used this app for years; it has been a cornerstone to my recovery and I recommend it to everyone. My current version is inexplicably buggy…but it seems I’m the only one with this issue. I found there is a sister app for AA speakers and now have that and it is the same old app I’ve come to rely on. Interestingly, the only stuff which hasn’t been working for me as of late is the AA content…the meditations are my favorite and work fine. The other recovery content works just fine. The AA speakers app has all the AA stuff so these two in concert are just a blessing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-06-13* 5-10x the price of other apps with nothing of value. Download the big book or buy one for the same price as a month of this app. ### 1/5 — Gotta pay *2023-01-22, version 5.3* Can’t access anything unless you pay. ### 1/5 — Not free BB *2022-06-25, version 5.2* Have to pay for BB ### 1/5 — App not working *2022-05-10* Paid for a month but content wouldn’t unlock on app. Very disappointed. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear this. Not sure what happened but for now, could you please try restoring your purchase (under “More” menu)? Also, feel free to email me at support@mybigbookapp.com. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2021-08-17, version 5.1* I am tired of this app the subscription restore does not work. Do not pay for this app. ### 1/5 — A day behind *2021-03-04, version 5.1* Your app is a day behind on Daily Reflections. What’s the point of having them if you aren’t going to share the correct days readings? ### 1/5 — Make this app free *2021-03-03, version 5.1* App should be free. Think of the newcomer who doesn’t have a penny to his name. Find this app, and is turned away because they can’t afford it. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time! *2021-02-09, version 5.1* This app is a waste of time it will not let you open anything until you pay for the for the full version which would not have been a problem if they had said that upfront but this is extraordinarily deceptive ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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* I am so grateful to have this app in my tool box! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2024-08-21, version 5.3* This is a great app! Lots of extras added without requiring a subscription. ### 5/5 — Lifetime *2024-06-05, version 5.3* Love lifetime subscription ### 5/5 — Love the app *2024-02-10, version 5.3* It is so easy to read and easy to navigate. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
