I used the app today to read the Traditions for my Home Group Zoom meeting while traveling. I stopped momentarily while reading the 5th Traditions… it was wrong! It reads “to carry the message” rather than “to carry its message”; as shown in the 12 and 12 and Alcoholics Anonymous. I remember this from hearing Clancy reading the Traditions at a meeting in Waukesha, WI. He stopped, corrected the wording, and went on to explain the difference and why it is important in typical Clancy style.

This is by far my most favorite AA app. I had somehow deleted a few word from a sentence and cannot figure out how to update/fix my error. Page 42."I saw that will power and self-knowledge would not help in those strange" how I deleted this I do not know. I want to fix it but have some many things highlighted that I do not want do delete and reinstall as I do not want to loose my years of work. Can you help?

We’ve just released and update with a subtle “Restore” button at the bottom of the table of contents which will restore all of the book’s text while preserving your highlights.
Good app

This has been a helpful app. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because you cannot see the page numbers on the index where the chapters are listed. Those page numbers would be helpful if they are added. However, you can see the page numbers once you click into the chapter.
Excellent Design, User-Friendly, Comprehensive!

Well-thought design with sobriety calculator and quick, easy, access to the every day Big Book components you’ll need for meeting readings, shares, prayers and more. You can quickly access topics like The Promises, so you’re expertly ‘on topic’ if you don’t have passages memorized. I also love the ability to zoom from the screen. I highly recommend this app for your sobriety toolbox!
