### 2/5 — Don’t buy

*2025-12-11, version 1.09.4*

I began with this app 6 years ago because I loved the SIMPLICITY of it. 
It was just a counter, just statistics, bare bones. No inspirational quotes or notifications.  
And it was free. 
I just decided to check in and the format is completely different, now with inspirational content, and it is no longer free. There are far better sobriety apps that are free. If I were searching for one, I wouldn’t choose this one.

### 2/5 — Updated?

*2025-11-01, version 1.09.4*

I liked the original app better.

### 1/5 — Please return money for this app.

*2021-08-30, version 1.07*

All it does is count. Cancel order. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Crash

*2020-08-17*

The App always crashes down, when i edit the amount of daily drinks.

### 1/5 — Absolute Shit

*2020-02-29, version 1.07*

Waste of time

### 2/5 — Needs update

*2020-01-04, version 1.07*

Please support larger iPhone screens such as iPhone XR. Thanks. Any chance of a Apple Watch version too?

### 1/5 — Currency issues

*2019-12-28, version 1.07*

Great up but I can’t change the currency. If I download in U.K. I get Sterling. Now downloaded in Russia and I am getting rubles. What’s worse the amount doesn’t go up high enough for rubles. So will have to take off phone

### 1/5 — Very poor.

*2019-04-24, version 1.05*

There is no option to change details such as quantity per drink or alcohol strength. This means as a beer drinker, it assumes every drink is 12oz. This means nothing to people who drink 500ml cans or beer in pints. And it has a set amount of caliries for that drink. Not all beers have the same amount of calories. Also there is no option to set the actual time if quitting, only the date. This is a very poorly thought out app. I got "Sober Time" instead which is much more useful.

### 5/5 — So simple and yet so powerful

*2019-01-30, version 1.05*

If you struggle sometimes with motivation to stay off the booze, this is a fantastic visual aid to remind you what you are gaining, second by second, minute by minute, day by day. Brilliant.

### 5/5 — I like this tracker!

*2019-01-02, version 1.05*

At first all the numbers continuously changing drove me crazy but now I’m getting used to it. It is still a bit overwhelming though—I’d prefer each one to maybe lose two digits but either way I love the app. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Update ruined this app: avoid

*2026-07-25, version 1.09.5*

I dislike every change in the update. The app is now confusing and ugly and REALLY wants me to upgrade to premium for $29.99/year in order to adjust the ‘tone’ of the generic AI motivation. Ick.

### 1/5 — Not Worth It

*2026-03-28, version 1.09.4*

I use to love this app, had it for over 10 years and it showed me my progress during my sobriety using many useful metrics. This was before the app updated and now requires me to log in and provide more information than I am comfortable with providing given the subject. Too bad, I will not recommend this app and I am deleting it after I finish writing this review. Sad to take advantage of a vulnerable population so the developer can make more money even though the previous version was just fine.

### 1/5 — Over complicated the app

*2025-11-07, version 1.09.4*

It used to be a simple app now they want you to make an account and password yada yada and invade your privacy. Added AI slop all over. Added an entire tab dedicated to begging for tips. You had a perfectly simple easy to use app and screwed it all away. Garbage app now don’t buy. Not worth the 1$

### 1/5 — User Information Being Monetized

*2025-09-04, version 1.09*

Not interested in having my data collected and monetized, recent update seems to be doing just that.  Deleting the app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-09-01, version 1.08*

I have used this app for six and a half years. It was beautiful because it did the one thing it was supposed to do without anything extra. Looking at my stats was helpful. Now it wants me to make an account and that doesn’t even work. The app doesn’t work anymore and that’s disappointing.

### 1/5 — Changed app

*2025-09-01*

I liked this app because it was simple. Didn’t have to register my email, just paid my fee and entered my dates and was done. I loved the 3 sets of data and I checked it throughout the week. Now like every other facet of life, I’m inundated with AI presence and pressure to subscribe and spend more money. I have to scroll past things I don’t care about to get to my data now.

**Developer response:** I really appreciate you sharing this. The original simplicity is what made the app special, and I didn’t mean to take that away. The rebuild added features and options, but the heart of it should still be your core stats. I’ll be making changes soon to bring that focus back.

Thank you for sticking with it — and if you’d like, reach me directly at paul@gothicsoftware.com
. I’m listening.

### 1/5 — Please bring back the old version 😕

*2025-09-01, version 1.08*

The old version was simple and straightforward — that’s exactly why it worked so well. The new version is dreadful: way overcomplicated, cluttered and too many options, just like every other quitting app! Please bring back the simplicity of the old version.

### 1/5 — Annoying app

*2025-06-30, version 1.07*

The options for drinks are very limited with only ‘beer’ 4% or ‘craft beer’ 8%. I’d like my money back! This is not remotely motivating 😕

### 1/5 — doesn‘t work

*2024-03-24*

doesn‘t take quantity and price of drinks

**Developer response:** Hi, Sistefram.

Very sorry to hear, can you please provide more details? What quantity and price have you entered?

### 1/5 — the app does not work!!!

*2023-12-28*

**Developer response:** Hi, Zuzara.

Can you provide more details? Please email me directly at paul@gothicsoftware.com

Warm regards, ~Paul

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-09-28, version 1.09.3*

This app is so simple and so profound. I love the updates that show all the milestones and the AI encouragement - really great!

### 5/5 — Love This App!

*2025-09-23, version 1.09.3*

Been using this app for 10
Years, love the simplicity. When I saw they had update it I was pretty upset, then I realized you can just toggle it back to the original app. More apps should do this when making big overhaul updates. Love it! Congrats on your time guys!

### 5/5 — Best for Screenshot!

*2025-09-18, version 1.09.3*

I’ve been using this app since October 2022 and I love that I can screenshot the classic view and share with my sober buddies!

### 5/5 — Great app!!!

*2024-04-03, version 1.07*

This app is amazing. I love looking at it and seeing how much money I saved. I also enjoy planning my next vacation with that money or self reward!

### 5/5 — 4 years stopped now

*2024-03-09, version 1.07*

Fantastic app. 
Much appreciated.

### 5/5 — Very motivating

*2024-01-22, version 1.07*

I’ve stopped and started a few times and used this app. It really is highly motivating as the last 3 week break from drinking saved me $530, just shows how expensive it can be.I love how the counter is constantly ticking.

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2023-05-20, version 1.07*

Great app to help you get off the grog! 
Thanks Paul - 😁

### 5/5 — Great App for Me!

*2022-05-04, version 1.07*

I have used this for years. 
Today is 7 years of the 12 Step Spiritual Sobriety solution working in my life. 
Thank You ❤️🙏☝️

### 5/5 — Genius idea

*2021-04-01, version 1.07*

I was looking for an app to track both dollars and calories saved to help me go alcohol free. This is a perfect counter to keep me on track. I check it every day and it’s very motivating. I can actually see the dollars and cents I’m saving, which helps so much in the hard moments. 

Simple and effective app. Does what it says and has helped me stay away from alcohol. So thankful and highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Brilliant - such a motivator

*2020-03-21, version 1.07*

I think this is a fantastic app.  It has been key to helping me not drink since September 2019.  Thanks for making it available.    People trying to give up smoking might welcome something similar.
