A simple, easy to use and awesome app for newcomers and old-timers alike! The home page has a list of all the essential text and resources to dive in and begin learning about AA and how to begin to live happy, joyous and FREE! It contains: The Big Book, The Twelve Steps as well as the author of the app experience, strength and hope with each step, the 3rd, 7th & 9th Step prayers, The Twelve Traditions, a link to the AA website’s Daily Devotion, Just For Today and much more!I would suggest this resource to anyone in or interested in AA and the fellowship. It has all the info you need to get started. When I first came to the rooms of AA I did not know any of the prayers or really anything for that matter😂 I used the app every day for devotions and prayers and in meetings I could easily pull up the Big Book and follow along with the readings. This app is a great resource and I’m so grateful to the author/creator of the app. The author also reminds us multiple times that this app is not meant to be used as a sole tool in sobriety. It is just 1 small tool in your toolkit. Attending meetings, service work, sponsorship, fellowship etc are tools to be utilized as well. Another great feature is that this app is FREE(with option to pay for no ads). The ads are not too often and they are not like other app ads where it’s impossible to find the X or decline button. You don’t have to wait a certain amount of time, just see it, click the large “No Thanks” box and immediately get to your next page.Simple, easy to use. Great Resource! 5 out of 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Great if you don’t own the physical book!

Exactly the same literature in the 12 steps and 12 traditions. The only plus is, you don’t have to pay for the book, the one bad thing is that you can’t highlight any lines or write any notes on specific paragraphs. If they added that as a feature, I’m 100% certain more people would be using it. I’d use it rather than the hardcover copy I purchased if we could highlight and take notes. For now I just use it for meetings if we’re reading out of this, so I don’t have to bring my book lol. But this app is simple and to the point and is what exactly it says it is! For free? There should be no complaints!
God could and would if he were sought!!!

I absolutely love this app it’s been extremely instrumental in my recovery it’s laid out very well I love all the readings I love how it’s all sectioned off I love throughout a meeting how I can refer to different parts of it and actually read from the solution in the book! This app has also given me all the prayers in which I start my day off and end my day with! This app has also giving me a way that I can be able to read through things with sponsor and sponsor is I would definitely recommend this to anyone seeking recovery!!!
Great app!

I love this app! It’s very helpful and there are a lot of resources included. I downloaded this after a free version of the Big Book on another app was taken down and replaced by a paid version. This is the only other app I could find that includes the Big Book for free which is super helpful for me since I don’t have any money. Just for that reason alone I recommend this app and I haven’t even explored everything that it has to offer. Great job and THANK YOU to the developer for being of service!
