Calendar doesn’t work after upgrade
The new upgrade is lovely - thank you. But the calendar is no longer available. The icon is there but nothing happens when I touch it. I really like the calendar feature and hope it can be brought back
Great app, need more input
I’ve only used the app for a week. It’s helping me not drink when I’m stressed. However I would love to have a section to add nots or a daily journal. It would help me a lot.
Great information
You can tell that this app was developed by a clinical psychologist with hands on experience in alcohol reduction therapy. The app contains tons of useful information, check it out!
Great Moderation Solution
Unlike other apps focused on abstinence, Step Away lets you create your own moderation journey by setting goals, tracking, monitoring, and reducing your alcohol intake - to help you control and change your behavior.
Unhappy
Couldn’t cancel the app!
Response from developer
Like any other subscription to an iOS app, you can easily cancel through Settings: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039
Not Free
So I can’t use the app unless I pay $5 a month? Why make it free in the first place? And it doesn’t tell you that you have to pay until AFTER it gets your information. False advertising scam.
Overall pretty good
It’s a good concept, and does help a bit. However, once you get into a groove with it, it forces you to subscribe, or you can’t use it anymore. There should be a free, limited version available.
Keeps me accountable
I’m like using the app. It’s easy and I find that it keeps me accountable. It feels good to report my reduced or (absent) alcohol consumption and to be on track to meet my goals.
Great app
What I like is that you can see your data and you can keep track of progress.
Looks great
I just started using Step Away, but so far it looks like a great program to help us deal with a difficult and subversive problem. Thank you to the makers for creating a solid platform to help!
Easy and helpful
Been using this app for a few days and it’s pretty easy to use. Works well so far and gives daily tips too.
Very cool new features!
This new version of Step Away has a lot of new, helpful features. The new feedback on the dashboard looks great.
Great start!
This is a fantastic tool for those of us who want a concrete and self directed support. I'm NOT a 12 stepper, and find this app a great help in communicating with friends that can support me as well as giving me ongoing focus. I would love it if a journal/notes component could be added. Also, I'd like like more direct app intervention, personalized reminders and specific supports such as a personalized emergency links list and more direct pre-composed emails seeking support when I'm in crisis. Overall though this app is a fantastic help and I highly recommend it!

Helpful
This app has really helped me get on top of a tough problem. It keeps me on track and has info in the modules that is really useful. It takes some time to setup and go through but for me it's been worth it.
Good help
This am has been great to show me my habits and how they are affecting my life. I like the daily interview, but it would be nice if the mood sections were a little more specific and I wish it had a journal so I could record the ups and downs and the challenges and how I actually overcame them.
Some problem
I like the way this app tries to approach things, but there's a couple major glitches that prevent the app from being usable:
Formatting- the app automatically plays the video at startup whether I ask to play it or try to skip it. The video is not formatted to show on the screen properly. The "skip" or "done" buttons are not accessible due to the format.
Once the app is accessed, when the "high risk times" menu is accessed, there is no option to enter the high risk times. There is no skip or exit button, so the app just gets stuck at the point when you're supposed to select a high risk time

App crashes too frequently
This is a great concept, but anytime I try to do anything with the app it immediately crashes. I had to remove it from my iPhone. I hope they can get these bugs out because I really would like to use the app. But the way it's constantly crashing, I just can't.
Awful
Repeatedly crashes
Thank You!
I just got done reading the ADN article from yesterday about this app and the study that is being done with it. I think this is an amazing idea and I can not wait to pitch this to my husband. If we come across any bugs or have any suggestions we will let support know.
As for the people with the bad reviews: If you are experiencing issues with the app you should also let their support team know, so they can get it fixed. Posting bad reviews only brings their rating down and they do not always see the issues unless you e-mail them. 😊
