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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Good free app *2024-05-07, version 1.24.0* I use the drink tracker to track alcohol days. I find the support and encouragement from the daybreak community really helps me feel positive and stay on track. ### 4/5 — Daybreak is a great help *2024-03-14, version 1.21.1* I’ve valued the Daybreak process. Touching base when able with like minded , like trying and courageous people has Bennets very helpful ### 5/5 — Keen! *2024-02-27, version 1.21.1* This looks peasant and simple to use whilst offering good features and functionality. I’m keen to switch from other apps that have not quite filled these needs! One feature that I would personally find useful would be the option to add drink tracking to the calendar retroactively (i.e. to accurately backdate a quit date). Thanks for the great app!!! ♥️ ### 5/5 — A welcoming community *2024-02-21, version 1.21.1* No judgments, a wholesome community that supports each other. No need to comment or post but gosh, it feels good to have someone that understands. ### 5/5 — A great place for support and encouragement *2024-02-11, version 1.21.0* Day break is always available for in the moment support and encouragement ### 5/5 — Supportive, caring and effective environment for exploring a new relationship with alcohol *2024-02-09, version 1.21.0* I’ve found Daybreak to be extremely helpful in my journey towards an alcohol free life. I have been using this app for nearly 4 years now and it’s been a big factor in my journey towards creating a new relationship with alcohol. I now have no interest in drinking and can see a life without alcohol is totally possible. I have finally found freedom from the unhappy cycle of drinking and can’t thank the community in Daybreak enough for helping me get here. ### 5/5 — Invaluable *2024-02-06, version 1.21.0* A fantastic support community and tool whatever you’re seeking to improve. ### 5/5 — Very Helpful *2024-02-01, version 1.21.0* Good tracker for how many days you go without drinking. Lots of support options in various sections of the app. Great community of posters in the forum - positive, non-judgmental, knowledgeable and willing to share. My only criticism is I’m not sure why they have to have such strictly enforced anonymity in the forum - I can understand it if people want to my anonymous, but if people are comfortable sharing more about themselves, then where is the harm? ### 4/5 — Good but could be better *2024-01-30, version 1.20.0* Great support from anonymous peers. Functionality is super clunky. ### 5/5 — Truly helps you quit *2024-01-25, version 1.20.0* A big thank you to all the people who made this app, it truly helped me quit and I love the resources they put in and the UI. I’m also grateful that it’s free and non-invasive (it doesn’t ask you for so many personal details and you don’t need to subscribe). Once again thank you to all those who have developed this app and have helped changed peoples lives, including my own ### 5/5 — Helpful and supportive community *2024-01-23, version 1.19.0* Helpful and supportive community of like-minded people. Recommend 100% ### 3/5 — Needs better functionality *2024-01-12, version 1.18.0* Can’t adjust drinking days so if you miss a few days you can’t record your progress. Annoying! ### 5/5 — Amazing and supportive platform *2024-01-03, version 1.18.0* Highly recommended to anyone wanting to change their relationship with alcohol. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Membership *2024-06-02, version 1.25.1* It says charging a fee helps them give access to the app to people in need but, doesn’t tell you how to access it if your a person in need. When I googled free apps to help quitting alcohol this came up. However, it will not allow me to continue without paying. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2023-04-13, version 1.11.0* The worst!!!!! Do not buy through apple!!!! There is no way to Cancel it!!! ### 1/5 — Not working *2023-03-07, version 1.11.0* Doesn’t work - app doesn’t work - just asks me my goal and doesn’t do anything else each time I open. ### 1/5 — Won’t get past the first page. *2022-07-03* I can’t get past the first “page” when starting a new account. It makes you enter your long term goals, and then it does nothing. I can’t “x” out of it, and it won’t move past that page. So I have no idea what is even in this app. It won’t function. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear you didn't have a positive experience in the app. If you would like to provide additional feedback about your experience, please feel welcome to email our support@daybreakprogram.org with your feedback? ### 1/5 — Fantastic community, terrible app *2022-03-25* It’s such a shame the app is so buggy and seems to no longer have regular updates. Many users complain about simple things, like notifications suddenly not working, how hard it is to read the font in the input box. There’s so many things that could make the app a better experience for users too, like the ability to leave more than just the built in reactions to a post, or reacting to a comment that is helpful. Also, being able to mark a comment to a post as inappropriate. The “tracker” is pointless. The experiments crash on iOS 14, on two devices I’ve tested. I no longer get notifications for no reason. I’ve deleted the app, rebooted the phone and reinstalled and still nothing. For an app with government and private sector support, it really should be much better than it is. **Developer response:** Thank you for your response. We have made a lot of improvements since your post and would encourage you to retry the app. We are also working on a new tracker feature and withdrawn the tracker until the new feature is available. ### 1/5 — Pls fix date of birth entry field in the registration window (Apple version) *2020-09-14, version 1.8.2* See above ### 1/5 — Be ready to be charged! *2020-05-07, version 1.7.7* I did not see anything stating I would be charged. Then boom! There it is with no warning. Honestly this app is not even worth it. Be aware you will be charged!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2024-06-01, version 1.25.1* Amazing bunch of supportive, like minded people ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-05-26, version 1.24.0* Simple to use and gives you good insight guts with a big community to support you. ### 5/5 — Daybreak App *2024-05-05, version 1.24.0* It a great supportive community.
