Use it all the time. The only thing I wish is that it had a spin the wheel type of selection so that I can tell it just to give me a random speaker to listen to. **Developer response:** I've now added this as a feature in the latest update, just tap on the dice symbol at the top and it will pick a random speaker from the list. Thanks ### 2/5 — App not working *2026-03-27* I’ve had this AA speaker app for years and have loved it. Unfortunately it has been recently updated by the supplier but now doesn’t work properly. All the talks automatically stop when the screen light goes off. Any advice ? Irvin I’m really grateful that the fault mentioned above has been fixed but the problem I have now is downloads don’t stay on my phone for more than one day, any advice ? Irvine. Hi, Thanks for fixing the above fault. It’s now working fine except when I download a talk it disappears the next day, Any advice ? Irvine. **Developer response:** This problem is now resolved, thanks. ### 2/5 — App not working *2026-01-19, version 3.0.4* I’ve had this AA speaker app for years and have loved it.

Liked it better before the changes if I’m honest, but I’m also just an alcoholic that doesn’t much like change! Lol. So it’s still wonderful! **Developer response:** Thanks for your review its much appreciated, I had to redesign the app as the old one had stopped working.

Your own little injection of AA everyday 🤗 ### 5/5 — Top rated app *2020-04-08* Fantastic App, really helping my recovery! ### 5/5 — Saved me. *2020-02-25* I’m newly sober, and this app has helped me out tremendously. In a way it’s saved me many times from relapsing. If for some reason you can’t make it to a meeting, it feels as if you’re in that room with the speaker and experiencing their meeting with them. It’s just so incredible. There’s a wide selection of speakers. So if you think you don’t relate to one, that’s okay because there are SOOO many others. If there’s a speaker whose story hits home and you want the chance to listen to it again later you have the option to download it. I have nothing to complain about this app. Absolutely love it. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2019-11-21* This is a great app with really quality speakers, and it’s easy to use and loud enough! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — broken *2025-05-11* I just bought the app and none of the speakers will play. the app seems broken **Developer response:** The app should be fixed now, please update to the latest version.

Liked it better before the changes if I’m honest, but I’m also just an alcoholic that doesn’t much like change! Lol. So it’s still wonderful! The only other issue is that the monthly payment option of $2.99/month is NOT the “best value saving 30%” because that number equates to $36/year vs the $25/year option. So based on my math, the yearly payment option should be labeled the best value - it feels a little deceptive that the most expensive option is labeled the best value. Js. **Developer response:** Thanks for pointing this out, the best value label is actually on the yearly option but I agree it is a bit misleading being at the top as it looks as though its on the monthly option, I'll amend this so it more clear. ### 5/5 — Great listening!! *2026-02-04* These tapes have been a great help in my early sobriety. Wish they had some more current speakers but overall a great app! ### 5/5 — Serenity *2025-09-11* This app gives me hope ### 5/5 — Great Speakers. *2025-08-25, version 3.0.4* Really helps me when I can’t get to a meeting. ### 5/5 — Drew Watson *2024-08-23, version 2.1* Lots of very good leads to listen to including one from Bill W. ### 5/5 — Thank you. *2023-03-05, version 2.1* What an awesome resource. ### 5/5 — Recovery on the Go *2022-09-06* I really like to use this app on my cell phone and connect it to my vehicle when traveling or carry it and listen to speakers when walking or exercising. I like that I can pause the speakers and return to the same one in the same place, or rewind or forward a “tape” to a specific spot. I also like to select “tapes” based on the lemgth of time to best suit my needs, workout, or travel time. ### 5/5 — Thanks! *2021-11-04* I usually never leave reviews, but thanks! This app is amazing 🙂 ### 5/5 — !E V E R Y! !M E M B E R! *2021-09-23* This is the most complete and necessary Alcoholics Anonymous app!!! EVERY PERSON IN AA NEEDS THIS APP!! BigBook audio book…..Joe & Charlie tapes!!…. I like to “spin”(scroll) and randomly stop on a speaker and listen to their message on my commute. 10/10recommend ### 5/5 — Mixture *2021-08-31* Great mixture of shares, bound to get identication from some of them xxx --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
