### 4/5 — Good

*2026-08-26, version 1.5.52*

It’s amazing for self care and love but it’s glitchy when it comes to the village and buying furniture and stuff

### 2/5 — Has so much potential

*2026-08-23, version 1.5.52*

I don’t think I’ve ever reviewed an app before. I want to love this app so bad. It has a lot of potential to be great. But it’s just SO GLITCHY! 1. There’s a “Village” feature that seems awesome, but I wouldn’t know because the app crashes any time you open it. 2. The AI chat is one thing (more on that later..) but to have bots posting & commenting in the community is just insane and gross 3. The AI chat is helpful except it’s limited to only 25 messages or something. Plus, the chat stopped giving me summary “letters” after a week of sobriety which was a huge bummer because I actually benefitted from those. 4. The AI is programmed in a way to speak like a 14yo boy (says “fr” after every sentence) and just responds with “I’m always here for you” when you come to it with something… the app needs a HUGE update and then maybe I’ll redownload it. Bummer.

### 1/5 — Update = major bummer

*2026-08-22, version 1.5.52*

It appears the feature to redeem real gift cards has been entirely discarded, which is a huge bummer and was a major motivator and incentive for staying clean. Now that that is gone, the app has lost me.

### 1/5 — Disappointed (pay to use)

*2026-08-21, version 1.5.52*

I was looking for help to have a daily reminder and check in with my drug use. You basically have to pay to use the app. That’s terrible I thought it was free for people that actually need help. I thought this app was meant to help people.

### 1/5 — Text limit are harmful

*2026-08-17, version 1.5.51*

I used to love this app i could get actual help but the text limits made me relapse cause i dont have anyone to share waht i feel so instead of getting tips i just smoke cause sobo dont wanna talk anymore

### 1/5 — Not moderated

*2026-08-16, version 1.5.51*

The discord the app sends you to has no mods. There’s a troll in there that goes by “Lost” who has glorified drugs and been rude to ppl commenting on their journies. It’s very unfortunate honestly

### 1/5 — New membership

*2026-08-13, version 1.5.50*

I’m updating this. I don’t want to reach out. I’m a disappointed. 
I accepted the free week of the pro features. You can’t leave the page where they ask you to pay for a subscription. I got a notification celebrating my week. I can’t even go into a social to talk about it or look at my timer. I’m gonna delete my account. Goode riddance.

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2026-08-05, version 1.5.50*

Definitely worth having, it’s evidence based, fresh and all encompassing! You don’t have to fit into a specific box, you just want to get better! That’s why I love Sobo ❤️

### 5/5 — Best sobriety App

*2026-08-04, version 1.5.50*

Sobo is a great tool for anyone looking for more accountability in their recovery journey. One of my favorite features is the sobriety tracker because seeing your days add up gives you a reminder of how far you’ve come.

Recovery isn’t always easy, and having something that helps you stay consistent, check in with yourself, and keep your progress in front of you can make a big difference.

It’s a simple app, but sometimes the simple reminders are what help you keep going.

### 1/5 — Monetizing off our sobriety?

*2026-08-03, version 1.5.50*

These apps are horrendous. They get you to sign up to show you how much money you’d save if you quit your habit and then the literal next page is the “$60/year or 7 day free trial” like weren’t we just talking about saving money?? Can any one of these corporations actually care about the humans they’re making these experiences for instead of the money? What if I’m trying to quit a habit that has left me financially unstable, and I’ve finally gotten to the mental point of realization that this habit needs to stop. Then I use that motivation to download these terrible apps and realize I need money to sober up? I cannot stand this greedy rock we all live on.
