- What do you like?Really not all that sure what I like about it. It seemed a lot cooler or interactive than it actually is. Especially for the cost for even a year. There are 100's of sobriety clocks, timers, calendars and calculators out there that are free and have ALOT more substance to them I'm very dissatisfied and sure do feel like I not only wasted money, but that whomever is leaving such positive reviews have done the same. - What could be better?Pretty much everything. Maybe AA or recovery tools and or info. Motivational content. AlANYTHING REALLY. All this does is say how many days you "check in" and didn't drink the previous day or since last checked in. Such a waste. - Any feature ideas?Don't charge for an app that is beyond basic. Maybe be free or suggest people go to better sobriety apps? There are some really great feee ones out there both AA and non AA relatedI hope this review finds you BEFORE downloading. It will force you to buy not even a trial period. It's a huge waste of money. It's got 3 basic games that any old Nokia phone had. And 3 "mindfulness" activities that are as basic as they come. Save your time and money there are much better FREE apps out there to support you in sobriety!!!!
Developer Update (May 2026): Hi Jason, a lot has changed since February, so I wanted to update this response to better reflect where Drynosaur is now.Since your review, I’ve continued improving and expanding the app based on user feedback. Your Drynosaur now lives in an unlockable habitat with new pixel art scenes, and you can interact with it more directly by feeding and petting it. Widgets have also been added, check-in insights now surface patterns in your data over time, and Expedition Trails provide guided reflections built around different parts of the recovery journey.I understand Drynosaur wasn’t the right fit for you at the time, and I respect that. If you ever decide to give it another look, it is now a meaningfully different app from the one you reviewed.Gareth------------------------------------------------------------------Orginal response (February 8th 2026):Hi Jason,Thank you for the feedback.
