### 5/5 — Found!

*2026-03-29, version 1.3*

This is it!  In recovery, we often look for apps that offer this or that functionality in support of our program .. well, this app provides nearly ALL of it - great speakers, thoughts for the day, links to meetings, etc!  Thank you the app developers for this!  🙌🏻

### 5/5 — Working on my Mac OS

*2025-10-20, version 1.3*

Works fine for me on my desktop computer.

### 4/5 — Yes its worth it

*2025-08-09, version 1.3*

It freezes couple times a week when it goes to the serenity prayers section and I did notify the app administrators, they told me I was the only one. I changed phone few months ago to iPhone 16, still doing same. I have to delete and upload the app every time it happens and the fact it doesn’t update till 7 am can be a little annoying for some of us.
Content is absolutely wonderful, highly recommend.

### 4/5 — Glitch

*2024-11-14, version 1.3*

When I go to prayers i can’t exit that screen after and need to delete and re add the app. Please fix.

### 5/5 — Hope when I need it

*2024-03-27, version 1.3*

I love this app and use it often. I especially like to read it during my day when I need a lift.  I like the daily readings and the recovery prayers.  

The app developer is very responsive and helpful. I appreciate his commitment to recovery!

### 5/5 — An essential recovery tool

*2024-03-24*

The readings included in the Today’s Hope app are the perfect complement to my daily reading of Al-Anon literature. I have always found a quote or a personal experience that resonates with me. Thank you!

### 1/5 — App

*2024-03-23, version 1.2*

I love this app sooo much then all of a sudden it no longer works and I am so disappointed I don’t know what happened but it’s really annoying.

### 5/5 — HELP!

*2024-03-22, version 1.2*

What’s up?! It has not worked in days. My friends and I are concerned about the fact that we cannot open anything. Can this be fixed?

### 1/5 — Love it but

*2024-03-22, version 1.2*

It worked once and now it just gets stuck on the stones

### 1/5 — App unable to open.

*2024-03-22, version 1.2*

I opened the app to find a different screen an no way of opening the speaker talks quotes or daily step meetings. I don’t know  what happened. I really appreciated this app.
