New days ahead
I’m so excited to find this app. I’m being accountable here for my SMART goals for the first time in a while.
I meet smaller goals with no difficulty, but I need all the help I can get sticking to an auto immune diet when I’m emotionally depleted.
I have just weathered a multi sided crisis that changed everything I had laid out. I need to reset my thinking in a positive way; not give in or give up.
If I don’t control my sugar and fat intake, I’ll be tempted to drink to excess. Stress management is an important piece of this puzzle too. I’m facing bypass surgery and have to lose 30 pounds that won’t budge. I’m shaping up - weight lifting and tai chi certainly help manage my sugar cravings.

Calendar is Incorrect
I like and use the app and have tried notifying the app dev team but it looks like in a recent update the calendar within the app is off.
Hopefully this works and they can update it so the tracking is correct for users

Great app
I think it’s really cool that they have this app that helps you to keep sober and keep track of it. I think it’s really really cool. Whoever created this app is a genius. Thank you for creating this app for us addicts and alcoholics. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. God bless.
Day2
Loving it
Thank you so much
This app has made my recovery so much better I absolutely love it
No way to correct errors
Terrible app. Accidentally clicked the wrong button while updating my day and it deleted my sobriety streak. No way to go back. Will delete the app and find a better one.
STOP LOGGING ME OUT
Its enough to make me pack my sobriety in and chug beer again!!
Not really worthwhile features
A few main complaints. The calendar is bugged right now. Dont get how an app that is essentially a calendar would have that issue but here we are.
Daily motivational messages are good, but if you dont save them, there is not a database that u can look through to read some.
The daily check ins, i dont think there are any charts that track over time trends. Nor can you read what you journal in the past (to my knowledge)

Widget
Widget doesn’t count days properly, and not update days, my is stuck at 3 days
Insane monetization plan
It's clear that the developers of this app no longer care about their users. I will explain why. First, I understand that every developer needs to support themselves. Yes, i get it, you need your money! The problem is that these developers decided to monetize their app *overnight*. They did it instantly, without notification. They just pushed an update to everybody one day which permanently locked features that everybody used to have access to. locked them behind an expensive paywall. The developers knew they messed up because they quickly went back and lowered the price of the annual subscription. But here's the thing: they NEVER told users in advance about their plan to monetize. they did not grandfather in any existing users, they did not offer existing users a discount, and they never once communicated to users what their plans were. They pushed all these changes on the user and basically told us to just deal with it. users had no warning of what was going on, and no communication from the developer.
Furthermore, the developer reconfigured the app so that it literally refuses to launch unless you are connected to Internet. I assume they do this so the app can display ads. Look, each person can develop their app however they choose, but it's been a while since I have seen something so actively hostile. This is if the main focus of the product was lost, and now they're focus on extracting money from their users.

Response from developer
We hear you, and we’re genuinely sorry for how this rollout felt. You’re right that we didn’t communicate clearly enough around monetization, and that’s on us. Our goal has never been to push users away or make a quick dollar - it’s to keep the app sustainable while continuing to improve it, but we know the transition could have been handled much better. Your feedback is important to us. If you’re open to it, we’d really like to hear what features mattered most to you and how we can earn back your trust. Please reach out to support@sober.com so we can continue the conversation.
I need this for myself and loved ones
I’m anxious to get started

Which is really sad, because I love the design of this app. I love all the work that they've put into it. This monetization plan just feels like some MBA stepped in and told them to piss off their entire user base so they could make some money.

Good morning
Great job with this amazing application
Used to be free
i liked this app bc you could track multiple different substances at the same time. Now it charges you to even add another one. So i deleted one of them so i could add another one and you want to charge me money? for tracking sobriety. i was already tracking two, deleted one to add a different substance and now you want to charge me? for something ive already used for half a year. you should be ashamed of yourself for trying to charge sober individuals money to track their progress. Clearly don’t care about helping anyone and jsut want money. what a joke. this app is trash now. and whoever made in app purchases is a horrible person. what a terrible thing to do.

We hear you and your frustration is valid. We wish we could keep Sober free forever, but ongoing development, support, and improvements come with real costs. Introducing a paywall was something we didn’t take lightly, and it’s necessary for us to continue building and supporting the app long-term. Our mission hasn’t changed, and we’re committed to doing this in a fair and thoughtful way. If you’d like to share feedback or ideas, we’d genuinely love to hear from you at support@sober.com .
