The combination is excellent and helped me greatly. ### 4/5 — Good to have, but not consistent *2014-04-10, version 1.0.2* You never know which book the daily passage will be taken from, and sometimes they are not as relevant. For instance, some of them are from the book for over eaters, and you need a passage for codependents. But I'm still glad I have it; it usually has something helpful to me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Serenity *2026-08-12, version 2.2.1* Look forward to words of wisdom every day. ### 5/5 — Great way to meet their books. *2025-12-15, version 2.2.0* I find the app a great way to explore Hazelden's publications. ### 5/5 — The best *2025-07-29, version 2.2.0* Super helpful in help guiding my day and I love that's its from all 12 step!
