Ratings and reviews

Within the app, content often doesn't load. Odd, generic, pre-made event titles and stock photos make an unsettling impression. It's a decent community though, if you're aware that there are people in recovery with varying emotional states, but also a nice mix of allies and people who choose sobriety. Some events might get cancelled if the host/volunteer relapses or drops out without notice. It makes it harder to trust and to make meaningful friendships when that happens.

It would be great if there was a filter on the "Events Near You" page where you could limit to a certain number of miles away. For example, I live in Chicago, and don't have a car. I don't want to see events that are 45 miles away from me, but the app does not let you filter those out from the results. It's disappointing when you get excited for an event, only to see that it would take 2+ hours to get there from a big city.

I was looking forward to getting into the app and the community, but I am unable to register an account or even sign up. I was prompted to use my Google account. After applying my account info, nothing happens, and that link is inactive. I chose the other option to sign up with email but never received an email confirmation. I deleted and downloaded again to no avail.

What's new

This version is bringing some important security boosts and the usual bug fixes. The main highlight? A new proactive alert in Connect to help you spot potentially suspicious messages. Certain messages will trigger an alert based on content and origin, so if one pops up, you can tap the bottom bar for tips on reporting suspicious activity. This feature is here to keep conversations flowing while helping everyone stay informed and safe!
