### 5/5 — Day by Day app

*2023-12-20*

Have used my Father’s Day by Day for 23 years.  It’s all taped up and still works.  Now I have the app too! I get to write goals and have it with me always on my phone for inspiration and guidance throughout the day.  Awesome sobriety tool.

### 5/5 — Thought-provoking recovery

*2017-07-25*

This is one of my favorite meditation books and I'm so glad they've made it into an app! The meditations are extremely thought-provoking and are so easy to read. At the bottom of each mediation day, there is a box where you can add your personal feelings. That's been very helpful. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Love this!!

*2015-11-24*

I read this every morning. It helps me take action on what I read by ending the meditation with "Today I will take action on this meditation by______________." Leaving a box for me to type in exactly what I will do to improve this day. Great way to help me focus on what I can do each day to help make the world a better place and help make me a better person.

### 3/5 — Needs an update... Please fix!

*2015-06-19*

This is one of my favorite daily meditation books. This app, however, needs some serious work! The features should mirror the "A Day at a Time" app, where you can click any day on the calendar and also star favorite passages. Not to mention the search feature is terrible. I read the passage for June 19 about doing the footwork, searched the word "footwork" to find similar passages, and the page I was on didn't even show up in the search results.

Please update ASAP! These passages really do help me get through my day!

### 3/5 — Marvelous, But Needs Favorites

*2015-04-12*

To be able to tap a star at the top and designate favorites is an important feature for me.  Other Hazelden apps have it; I hope they upgrade this app to feature it also.

### 5/5 — This is a God Send

*2014-05-04*

I read this every morning along with my other books from Hazelden and a certain 12-step program. They all help me to direct my thinking toward others and heal from my addictions.
