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. ### 3/5 — App not opening *2024-03-21, version 1.2* I really like this app, however the past week I can’t open. Have deleted & reinstalled to no avail. ### 4/5 — No longer working *2024-03-20, version 1.2* I loved this app & it is now just a blank landing page with no menu and no updates. I tried deleting & downloaded again to no avail ### 2/5 — Currently not showing Today’s Readings anymore *2024-03-14, version 1.2* I was enjoying the app but it stopped allowing selection of Today’s readings. Slogans and traditions still available, but I’m not able to click the readings. I deleted and re-downloaded and issue remained. ### 5/5 — Love and so grateful for this app *2020-04-05, version 1.2* I’m so happy that this app exists Especially when I’m on the road or away from my al anons books, this app gives me enough resources to stay grounded and serene throughout the day. Thank you ### 5/5 — Thank you *2020-02-06, version 1.2* It’s simple to use and has all the information needed. I love that I can read a quote or short reading if that’s all I have time for. Then dive in to the longer ones when I can sit still more. I appreciate having it readily available on my phone. Thank you ### 3/5 — Format for iPhone *2020-01-13, version 1.2* Is this formatted for iPhone. Doesn’t fit the iPhone and menu is different. Find a meeting is unavailable. ### 5/5 — Terrific App. *2019-12-13, version 1.2* Some reviews mention that the app no longer exists. I have had it for several months. Works great! I don’t know if it is Al-Anon approved but it is all about Al-Anon and AA. I use it regularly! ### 5/5 — Daily reader, prayers and speakers *2019-04-12, version 1.2* I use this app every day to start my day well. It never fails to have a useful reading and quote, and the surrender prayers help me give my day over to God and keep an open mind to a new day ahead. The speaker audio files are fantastic and I use them regularly when I’m out walking or driving in the car. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-03-21, version 1.2* This app is amazing and I would use it daily however, it stopped working two days ago. I have deleted and again downloaded but still doesn’t work. Five stars if it gets fixed ### 1/5 — What happened?! *2024-03-21, version 1.2* I loved this app but now I can’t get it to open! Have re downloaded several times & it’s just not working anymore! ### 1/5 — Nope *2024-03-12, version 1.2* Daily readings won’t open since last IOS update. Deleted and reinstalled, still daily readings won’t open. ### 1/5 — Not actually from the Al-Anon Family Groups *2023-03-16, version 1.2* If you want Al-Anon readings, quotes, etc. please go to the real Al-Anon app or materials. I’m sure this is meant to be helpful but is actually confusing and distracting from our real recovery program. It’s definitely a violation of Al-Anon Traditions and Concepts. ### 1/5 — Not working *2021-03-15, version 1.2* I have also been trying to get the app to load for over a week. The circle just keeps spinning! A friend shared something she found on the app so I wanted to get it for myself. Very disappointed! Hope it gets fixed soon! Will keep trying. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-03-12, version 1.2* It worked for two days and now ..... nothing. Endless Spinning circle. I’m deleting it from my phone. ### 1/5 — Gitchy *2020-06-22, version 1.2* This app is not working for my iPhone and when I contact support of course they say my phone is the issue. Lol I KNOW IT'S THE APP and not my phone. It seems like it has great information but is outdated and doesn't work properly. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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! ### 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? ### 5/5 — Trouble with the App *2024-03-22, version 1.2* Love this app but it hasn’t been working this week. I’ve deleted and redownloaded and still nothing. 😞 I hope it’s not going away. ### 5/5 — Incredibly helpful app! *2023-04-23, version 1.2* I love this app and rarely miss a day’s reading, which is a true testimony to the app. Thank you for developing it! ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-12-24, version 1.2* This app is so good. Thee only thing is it needs updated. Thank you. The app still needs updated ### 5/5 — Very hopeful *2022-08-24, version 1.2* So useful for those that are experiencing feelings of desperation and sadness due to another loved ones choices. Can’t give this app enough stars! ### 5/5 — NE *2021-12-02* Love this app. So uplifting and affirming.
