Ratings and reviews

i love this app. it helps with keeping track of your days in recovery, gives you support and encouragement to keep doing well. The community is very helpful, the tools are easy to use, and everyone is very friendly! I haven't attended any of the meetings yet, but plan on it in the future. you have your daily check ins, journaling to help clear your mind, and so many different ways to learn how to cope, not only with recovery, but your mental as well. great app!

I appreciate the sincerity of this attempt. And I really look forward to an app that is genuinely helpful for an addict. I want to mostly encourage y'all, but also want to offer some critique. Packing all these features into one app... Including, for example, a notepad that you call "Express Yourself", which you have to click through a motivational message before you can use. There is no use for most of these features, and their inclusion is demeaning to the people who need this. Focus thx

I'm in recovery and have been for several years. I tried this app out. High risk situations part of profile, not helpful at all. I tested it out hoping this could be helpful to my clients. I was hoping it would call or text the person I listed as my emergency contact and had granted permission to call or text her. Nothing happened when I went to either location(neither truly high risk). There are some features that could be helpful to those early in recovery.
