### 2/5 — User Experience

*2026-04-22, version 2.0.2*

I downloaded this app with hope. However, it is outdated and green is the last color I want to see when staying away from “green”. The app needs to be updated. Try base44?

### 3/5 — Cannot read literature

*2025-11-20, version 2.0.0*

I just upgraded to the iPhone 16 and it automatically installed iOS 26 upon setting up. Idk if that is why I am having issues or not, but I cannot read the literature. The last few lines at the bottom of each page are cut off regardless of font size. Sometimes when I change the font size, the text disappears altogether. Even aside from this issue, I'm personally not a fan of the "turn the page" format. The scrolling format was a lot better and easier. I know how much work went into making this app and I really appreciate everyone's service. I am sure once these issues are fixed it'll be a wonderful app.

### 3/5 — Privacy Flail

*2025-09-30, version 1.5.2*

Trust is the biggest problem with the MA official app. The app runs Google Analytics, which directly compromises MA’s mission by exposing members’ activity to the same billion-dollar marijuana marketing industry we’re trying to recover from.

### 4/5 — Indispensable for Recovery

*2023-07-20, version 1.5.2*

I’ve been a fellow in Marijuana Anonymous for over 13 years. MA is the only program that worked for me to lose the obsession to use. It is based on the 12 Steps of Recovery of AA but specifically modified to help free those of us in the insidious grip of marijuana in any of its forms. The app contains all the essential literature of MA which I use when reading at meetings. It’s my go to reference on the go for inspiration and sharing with others. I love the sobriety counter as a reminder of the better life I found and that I only need to do it one day at a time. Yes it hasn’t been updated in years and the meeting finder is broken but a new version has been in the works for a year and hopefully completed soon. This original MA app was created voluntarily and selflessly by a single member at their own expense and toil to help the marijuana addict that still suffers achieve the same freedom they have. So be patient as the original author has returned to work in collaboration with the current volunteers of the Internet Committee to create the new app.

### 2/5 — Meeting search not working

*2020-01-10, version 1.5.2*

Meeting search results in message 
“Error returned by server”

### 5/5 — What a wonderful resource!

*2016-08-06, version 1.5.2*

So happy that this is available. The seventh tradition option default as $4.20 is a little odd to me since MA isn't really about marijuana lol

### 5/5 — A solution to our problem.

*2015-01-23, version 1.2.0*

Many of us have found ourselves a grips of non-addictive marijuana, confused, asking ourselves "why is it that though we told ourselves hundreds of times we were not going to smoke we did so anyway?"  For some of us MA provided an answer, and more importantly, a solution.

### 5/5 — 5 stars

*2014-12-31*

This conveniently has all the MA literature and a workbook which you can fill in on the app. If only more 12 step groups had something similar.

### 1/5 — Dumb AF

*2014-08-01, version 1.0.2*

in the title no more comments necessary

### 5/5 — Great app, great group

*2014-05-27, version 1.0*

Very useful to have if you are in recovery

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Unuseable

*2026-04-10, version 2.0.2*

Not at all compatible with VoiceOver. There’s no way I can access any content. If you make it voiceover friendly, I will change it to five stars, but so far it’s impossible to use. You can’t even click the eye accept button button in the bottom without turning voiceover off, you can’t read any of the content with voiceover.

### 1/5 — Recent Update Reset Sobriety Counter…

*2025-10-29, version 2.0.0*

App has always been clunky and awkward. Latest major update reset the sobriety date, more QA is needed before releasing unnecessary UI updates.

### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work.

*2021-12-09, version 1.5.2*

This app does work it says server error

### 1/5 — Outdated

*2020-06-13, version 1.5.2*

While I understand the various “Anonymous” programs have helped a lot of people, it is irresponsible. This is not a research based approach. How does one “Let go let god” if they don’t believe in the fairy in the sky?

### 1/5 — Useless

*2020-03-12, version 1.5.2*

Downloaded this to help me find meetings, but it just returns an error every time.

### 1/5 — Horribly outdated

*2019-04-18, version 1.5.2*

Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — Address does not work

*2019-01-07, version 1.5.2*

Writing an address does not work, only location settings do.

### 1/5 — Really?

*2018-12-17, version 1.5.2*

Went online and used the app, both ‘find a location’ tools gave me errors. Plus, the MA app has got to be completely green? Really?

### 1/5 — Only for uneducated Americans

*2015-12-05*

Why do Americans turn to the irrationality of needing an invisible friend to help them? 

I can tell you now, it isn't some wizard in the sky that will help you quit, it's you! I found getting away from the circle of mates that do it the hardest bit but having a child helped as I didn't get much time/sleep anyway!

Good luck to all that seek help!

### 1/5 — Ok really

*2014-11-01, version 1.1.0*

This is a waste of space my phone acted stoned after downloading

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2026-05-08, version 2.0.2*

Thank you MA fellowship!

### 5/5 — Improving one day at a time

*2026-01-14, version 2.0.0*

This new update is much better. Meetings and resources are easy to access, with clear and clean functionality. Helping cannabis and marijuana addicts access a program that really does work.

### 5/5 — Changed my life

*2023-07-10, version 1.5.2*

I loved this app when I first starting using it 7 years ago and still do to this day. It’s a blessing and I’m extremely grateful for it. I especially appreciate that it doesn’t cost anything.

### 5/5 — Very helpful for finding meetings

*2022-05-22, version 1.5.2*

One of the best features is the meeting search. Due to the pandemic, most in-person meetings are now online. The greatest benefit is that on any given day, if you expand your location search far enough, you can find a meeting pretty much any day of the week, most times. Even on a slower day like Sunday.

You get to meet great people who are in recovery just like many of us.

For where I live, 100 mile radius gives me just enough meetings, but that will depend on where you live.

### 5/5 — Best resource

*2022-03-25, version 1.5.2*

Okay so it hasn’t been updated in years, but what a great resource. Can’t wait to have it updated. Thanks goes to all the contributors and originators of this app.

### 5/5 — Great information about marijuana addiction

*2020-10-17, version 1.5.2*

Great information about marijuana addiction, informational pamphlets, Life with Hope book and workbook. Nice sobriety date calculator to track sobriety. The app’s meeting finder is currently broken due to a database issue but worldwide MA meetings can be found on the MAWS website.

### 5/5 — Grateful for Marijuana Anonymous!

*2020-10-17, version 1.5.2*

I’m so grateful for this free resource to providing a wealth of information about recovery from marijuana addiction!

### 5/5 — Informative

*2020-08-03*

Informative and down to
Earthworm people who
Have the experience for real help for real people

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-08-01, version 1.5.2*

Has everything that I need

### 5/5 — Wonderful Resource

*2017-07-07, version 1.5.2*

Thank you so much for this app. I am frankly astonished that they've jammed the entire program into this conveniently free app, for this I am incredibly grateful. I am in an area that has no M.A. meetings anywhere nearby, this app is truly a blessing. I'm in the fledgling stages of my sobriety and could not be more appreciative of this app's existence and accessibility. Thank you again. 
Keep coming back, it works IF you work it, because YOU ARE WORTH IT.
