I really value this app. It has really allowed me to structure my daily recovery practice. The Hourly Reminders are a great feature and help me stay focused. Unfortunately, the quotes on the reminders are often cut off in mid sentence, making them nonsensical. Now the feature is not opening up at all. This is too bad as the hourly reminder was the specific reason I purchased the app in the first place. I have emailed the developers a number of times but have heard nothing back. I hope this bug is addressed soon. JenUPDATED REVIEW:I should have done edited this review months ago. My problem with this app was addressed by the developer and fixed. I have used this app to successfully structure a strong daily program. It is really working out well and I have been able to keep it going for longer than I ever have before. I have a sponsor through this app and am sponsoring others all over the country. I really recommend this app to anyone who is struggling to be able to work a stronger program. Jen

Meeting in a pocket and digital sponsor in lieu of humans
DevaStacian
This app is free and awesome. It has it all. A meeting in an app. Each of the meeting readings; the preamble, how it works, the steps, the traditions, the promises and even a complete big book - for free!! I really like that it breaks down each step and one can put the date each time the step was completed. It can be used with any 12 step program and even has a gratitude journal. ***ideas to make it better might be to add standard page numbers to the big book so that if this app and phone is brought to a BB study meeting, finding the exact location without scrolling aimlessly and missing half of the reading- would be nice. Or at least a search function where if a sentence was read aloud that word or sentence could be searched in order to find the same spot in the reading on this app when they say page 69 in chapter How It Works and one could find that page and sentence starting point quickly if it’s begun mid way through a chapter. ***an additional idea would be that on the page with the meeting readings there could be an “other” page to write in our own for unapproved non conference approved literature that some meetings read or are specific to other twelve step programs or ones adopted in AA but not official like the 12 Principles / Virtues or 12 Characteristics or 12 Promises (idk if that’s official or not). Page numbers and A blank type in option or several would be cool to make this truly a meeting in a pocket and a digital sponsor. Otherwise this is amazing and it gets 12 stars! I have told many people about this. Especially since I read along with it and some people think One rudely using the internet during a meeting when One may really just be adding more to the experience using this awesome app!
Light At The End Of A Tunnel
Mrs. Tin Man
The light at the end of a tunnel is how I feel about my life now. As I read and study it gives me hope for my future. I just have to believe that God knows what is best for me. Trust in Him and obey Him. Follow what God wants for me NOT what I THINK is best for me. God and Alcoholics Anonymous gave me another chance to do the right thing. These tools made available through the AA program are wonderful. Every time I read and study these materials I am renewed. I just have to do do the work and help the next person.
Integral Part of My Recovery!!!
Sixmilliondots
Highly recommend this app! It makes connecting with my sponsor so much easier since I can do my spot check inventory and she can review it and I rediscovered this app again right as I hit my 8th step which makes it so easy to keep track of things! If you own a phone and are in a 12 step recovery program then you would be doing yourself and your sponsor/sponsees a huge favor by utilizing this amazing tool.
