### 4/5 — A wonderful resource

*2026-06-13, version 3.6.1*

There are many features lacking on this app that makes it challenging to use, but it is filled with an abundance of resources that keeps me coming back every day.

### 2/5 — Disappointed!

*2024-06-07, version 3.6.1*

If I’m missing something, please let me know. I was hoping for at least a daily readers and the inspirational quotes. They are not Alanon where are the acronyms???

### 2/5 — Okay app

*2024-03-11, version 3.6.1*

It has a vast selection of speakers,  a lot of the audio is low quality though so you have to push through to listen. 
It would be so helpful if it marked the ones you already listened to as played even if it just was greyed out or had a dot on it to mark it. 
The ability to mark favorites to re listen would help also. I am screen shooting the ones that I am currently listening to in case I get interrupted and have to go back. Next it is trying to sift through the hundreds on here to locate it.

### 5/5 — This is great what more could be said . Thanks

*2023-02-26, version 3.6.1*

Thank you

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2023-02-18, version 3.6.1*

Thank you for your service.

### 5/5 — Keith and Sue D…These two (husband and wife) are the best speakers i have ever listened to

*2022-10-16, version 3.6.1*

I love this couple so much and they have helped me trough Al-anon so much! I listen to their tapes just about everyday!  They have a house in California and Vegas.  I would love to email them
if possible?  Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great for anyone interested in Al-Anon

*2022-09-11, version 3.6.1*

This is great for people who don’t know anything about Al-Anon yet and just want to learn,  also for experienced members looking for inspiration and support and a feeling of connection

### 2/5 — They Lock What You Listen To

*2022-03-01, version 3.6.1*

So they lock what you listen to in an attempt to force you to pay for the App. That’s low.

### 5/5 — Addictive. LOL.

*2022-02-21, version 3.6.1*

I am getting so much out of these talks. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Gratitude

*2022-02-05, version 3.6.1*

Thank you for loving me

### 5/5 — Great Support!

*2021-10-03, version 3.6.1*

Great speaker. Just needed to know someone understood and found a way out!

### 5/5 — Helped Me Get Through Hard Days

*2021-08-25, version 3.6.1*

I love this app!!! I paid to unlock
all the tapes because I was so impressed with the first set. 
These tapes have gotten me through difficult nights when there are no meetings. I’ve gotten help working the steps with listening to how other people worked their steps. 

I’m not really a fan of the Forum stories section. Somehow there’s a disconnect between the story and having them all read by the same person with the same tone. I can’t even listen to many of those. I tried but I don’t feel a connection with the story being told.

### 5/5 — Keep on Keeping on

*2021-06-23, version 3.6.1*

Love the encouragement

### 1/5 — You don't care about our recovery

*2025-11-26, version 3.6.1*

I tried this one for a long time hoping that they might actually add new speakers. They never have and they never will so I will not use this app. To whoever's in charge of this you don't care about recovery and I hate you

### 1/5 — App is broken

*2024-06-15, version 3.6.1*

After paying the content wasn’t unlocked. It used to work

### 1/5 — Content didn’t get unlocked

*2024-05-09, version 3.6.1*

Bought app to open content. Content stayed locked. No one replied to any of my emails for help.

### 1/5 — It’s not working

*2023-06-06, version 3.6.1*

I don’t know if I missed an update, but when I try to listen to speakers, I just get kicked out of the app

### 1/5 — Paid for subscription then got locked out 🤷🏼‍♀️

*2022-01-09, version 3.6.1*

And no response from developer 🤷🏼‍♀️

### 1/5 — Poor response from developer

*2021-09-23, version 3.6.1*

Like others have mentioned in reviews, I paid for 3 months to unlock all episodes.  After a few days, they were all locked again.  Did the usual delete, re download app,  but still nothing.  Emailed developer, I got crickets.  Nothing, nada.

### 1/5 — Very frustrating app

*2021-05-26, version 3.6.1*

I have tried to upgrade this app by purchasing the upgrades twice. I still am not able to unlock any of the upgraded content. I have also tapped the restore purchase button and it says my purchases are restored but still I am unable to unlock anything. Very difficult to find the software developer online to get any help. I love the content of the app but I would like my purchase.

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2021-05-20, version 3.6.1*

Frequently want to listen but I get error codes :(

### 1/5 — Can’t load audio

*2020-05-05, version 3.6.1*

It used to work, now nothing will play

### 1/5 — Audio unavailable

*2018-08-04, version 3.6.1*

None of the material loads in my app. Audio isn’t available.

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-07-17, version 3.6.1*

This is such an amazing solution for a guy like me who needs to hear speakers and meetings while on the go 
Thanks

### 5/5 — It is worth it;You are worth it

*2026-05-28, version 3.6.1*

It is a wonderful resource.  When I can’t find a meeting online or on the Al-Anon mobile app (there some time slots that are open), I switch to the Al-Anon Speakers App.  You can download the app for free for a limited library and see if you like it.  You can pay a one time fee (I think it was $20 or less) to open up the complete library!

### 5/5 — Invaluable

*2026-05-19, version 3.6.1*

I’ve found this app invaluable in my recovery. I have been listening to these speakers and using the meditation sounds for 8 years. I love tapping into strong recovery at any time I need it. Thank you .

### 5/5 — Al anon speaker

*2025-05-30, version 3.6.1*

In me clouds me thinks

### 5/5 — Richard

*2024-09-24, version 3.6.1*

Just beginning to listen

### 5/5 — Fellowship

*2024-06-28, version 3.6.1*

This fellowship saved my life.  I was in a very difficult relationship.  I felt hopeless, angry, lonely, confused, and looking for answers.  I found all of that and more!

### 5/5 — Great recovery stories

*2024-04-09, version 3.6.1*

I’m enjoying the wisdom of recovery with humor!! I’m hearing the promises of the program.!! Do grateful for this podcast

### 5/5 — Alanon speakers

*2024-04-07, version 3.6.1*

I listen as I walk my dog. I’ve been in Al-Anon for many years(44) and it’s saved my life!  I love listening because I need to be reminded of where I came from and put the focus on me and keeping my serenity each day and my Higher Power, God.
The stories that I listen to are great reminders. 
I can always find something. I’m happy this is available!!!!

### 5/5 — One step at a time.

*2023-09-12, version 3.6.1*

I lesson to these stories over and over, identifying with so much the speakers said.
Each time I get something new from them.

### 5/5 — Inspiring

*2023-03-10, version 3.6.1*

The speakers here are wonderful! They have so many years of experience in Al-Anon and they share it with humor and heart. I’m so grateful to have them. Thank you!
