Better Without 17+

Not inclusive for the sober community

If you look at this app’s socials, they claim they are inspiring those who are “sober curious, or not drinking at all”. This couldn’t be further from the truth. I downloaded the app in hopes to introduce my partner to it. He’s recently sober. Well, the first product recommended to me has thc in it, the very thing he’s recently sober from! Featuring products with other substances in them just implies that it’s a replacement for people recovering from alcohol addiction (and I’m guessing that people recovering from alcohol addiction are a huge user base for this app). It’s irresponsible and dangerious to create an app that supposedly caters to sober people and then try to sell them products that have substances in them. This app is just a scam using a marketing strategy to take advantage of people seeking sobriety.

Can’t buy anything!

I downloaded this app in hopes that I could quickly select and buy my zero proof alcohol alternatives without going online. Nope! I just get taken to the Better Rhodes site whenever I want to purchase a single item. Dude, I was already going to the site to buy my things, I don’t need an app to direct me there!🤬 If I want to look for alcohol alternatives, I can just google it. I don’t need an app for it!

Developer Response ,

Hi Rae,

Thank you for your feedback, appreciate you taking the time to review the app. 

I am sorry to hear that the app hasn't been useful for you. The app was created to help with a variety of things including discovering drinks, ability to filter by styles, see reviews, add ratings, discover where products are stocked from a variety of retailers (not just Better Rhodes) and where to get drinks in venues. We continue to add venues in a variety of areas. 

We are always keen to hear feedback from users on how we can improve the app, if you have any other feedback our email address hello@betterwithout.app. We hope you will find the other app features useful at some point in the future.
