### 5/5 — Kind, practical support without judgement

*2026-01-27, version 1.30.1*

Daybreak is a really supportive and non-judgemental space. The community makes you feel less alone, and reading other people’s experiences helps me reflect on my own habits without pressure or labels.

The Drink Tracker feature is great for building awareness around your drinking. I also like that the Care Navigator service is there if you ever need extra support. It all is practical, kind and easy to engage with.

If you’re thinking about changing your relationship with alcohol, Daybreak is a great place to start.

### 1/5 — Insane behaviour

*2025-11-30, version 1.30.1*

Went to the trouble of adding all my details & signing up, to be immediately pushed to buy a monthly/yearly subscription before I even got a chance to look at the app to see if it would work for me. No free trial, no look at how the app works/ layout etc, just demanding money. Then they had the audacity to say ‘Your membership fee helps us give Daybreak for free to those in need’, I am one of those people in need, where was my free option? This app is clearly after money more than it is to help people. Ridiculous!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-11-12, version 1.30.1*

Don’t use. No support. Sham.

### 3/5 — Great community. A lifesaver. Clunky usage though.

*2024-12-14, version 1.26.4*

Checking in to daybreak each day is a vital element of my sobriety toolkit. I have found solace and support in this community. Shared tips, empathy and encouragement from other members has helped me so much. I’m 311 days sober and can honestly say I don’t think I could have made it this far without having daybreak in my pocket.

### 5/5 — Life saver

*2024-12-01, version 1.26.4*

I’ve been a member here for several years and the best part is, it’s a truly safe place to be with support from amazing people that get it.

### 1/5 — All my data has been lost since password update

*2024-11-13, version 1.26.4*

The app seemed good - useful information and ‘experiments’ but suddenly it didn’t recognise my saved password. Once I updated my password I could no longer access saved favourites and date entered into the drink tracker for months.
Very discouraging. I’m deleting my account.

### 5/5 — This app is amazing

*2024-09-25, version 1.26.0*

Without a word of exaggeration, Daybreak and the members here saved my life!

### 4/5 — Inspiration and focus

*2024-08-21, version 1.25.1*

A space that has enabled me to develop an honest awareness of my consumption and set clear goals. Being supported by a community on the same journey has been a powerful tool in meeting my intention to be sober.

### 5/5 — Helpful app

*2024-08-09, version 1.25.1*

Daybreak has helped me a lot. This community is very supportive. I feel like people understand what I’m going through.

### 2/5 — Should be anonymous

*2024-07-18, version 1.25.1*

The first thing this app does is demand your email address! For such a personal application, are you kidding?!

There should be an option for completely anonymous use.

Delete.
