## 12 Steps Companion AA Big Book Reviews in United States

### ***-- "Old Edtion"
I’ve used this app for many years and when I tried to go fully digital at meetings, I soon realized this was a second edition version. I can only rate this higher if I have content that is read at big book meetings.
-- rDevelop, 2024-10-20

### ****- "Love this app but…"
Would be great if this were the fourth edition and included the Preface, all Forewords and stories from the fourth edition. Also there are a lot of typos in the Forewords. I love that you can highlight passages and the day count is great too!
-- Matt in Hong Kong, 2024-09-23

### ***** "High Tech Recovery"
I’ve had this app for ten+ years. Over the years, I can’t count how many times this has saved my day!!
-- JenJilly, 2023-09-02

### ***-- "Disappointed"
Very disappointed that, Acceptance is the Answer , is not included in the stories . how could this be left out?
-- xserge2, 2022-10-20

### ****- "No Acceptance is the Answer"
This app is great and been around years but would love a dev update to include fourth edition stories.
-- Pixiluxe, 2022-04-28

### ****- "Good app"
This has been a helpful app.  The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because you cannot see the page numbers on the index where the chapters are listed. Those page numbers would be helpful if they are added. However, you can see the page numbers once you click into the chapter.
-- SEC fan10, 2022-02-24

### ****- "Adding push notifications for morning/evening would make this 5 stars"
This is a great app and I’ve really enjoyed using it. One thing that would make it five stars for me would be to add the ability to turn on push notifications both in the morning and in the evening to prompt meditation and reflection.
-- Djsrunner, 2022-02-14

### ****- "5th Tradition, short form, is Incorrect"
I used the app today to read the Traditions for my Home Group Zoom meeting while traveling.  I stopped momentarily while reading the 5th Traditions… it was wrong!  It reads “to carry the message” rather than “to carry its message”; as shown in the 12 and 12 and Alcoholics Anonymous.  I remember this from hearing Clancy reading the Traditions at a meeting in Waukesha, WI.  He stopped, corrected the wording, and went on to explain the difference and why it is important in typical Clancy style.
-- Doc'sDad, 2021-08-22

### ***-- "Not the book"
It is not the 12 step 12 tradition book
-- KenWood24, 2021-07-19

### ***-- "Missing story"
Missing “Acceptance was the answer” in the story section. Which is a big disappointment.
-- david-p123, 2020-10-26

### ***** "Perfect"
Simple, easy to use, all the basic literature you need... and BEST of all THEY DON’T ASK FOR EMAIL or other personal info!!!
-- AlicattacliA, 2020-09-18

### *---- "So disappointed"
I lost all my info on this app. I couldn’t open the app so I off loaded it to reinstall and none of my information for the past 8 years is there! I am so disappointed and discouraged!
-- Xzxxxzxzb670, 2020-03-10

### ***-- "Useful app"
Good to track years in the program
-- mindfulknit, 2019-10-28

### ***-- "Up to date?"
I’ve been checking my app for the last few days for my seven year anniversary and every time I check it doesn’t seem like the hours are moving at all, it finally did jump them one more day but doesn’t look like it’s working right
-- 1 ol' Possum, 2019-09-19

### *---- "BlakityBlake"
I have had this app for all of my 8 1/2 years of sobriety. I upgraded my iPhone to the iPhone X two weeks ago and now I’m told that I have to rebuy the app. It just doesn’t seem right. Why must I repurchase an app I’ve already paid for just because I got a new telephone?
-- Blakity Blake, 2019-09-14

### *---- "Absolute crap"
Absolute Crap
-- l8yhwk, 2019-09-02

### ****- "Nice app, but has a glitch **FIXED"
*** Update ***
Messaged developer Dean, and he walked me through how to do a no-cost “delete and re-download.”  Works fine, glitch was during the first download and not the app itself. 

Dean responded quickly, professionally, and even did a follow-up to be sure I was happy.  Well done, and I AM happy with the app now!

I recently downloaded this app, and it seems to be everything I wanted. But sometimes when you select a sentence or passage to highlight, when you actually hit Highlight, sometimes it works, but sometimes it DELETES the selection!
-- Laser317, 2018-12-19

### ***** "Great app, but one request"
Love the app, but would love Dr. Paul’s story from the third edition (page 449). He talks about acceptance. Would love to read that daily on the app. Thank you for your service!
-- MrWangpr, 2018-12-14

### ***-- "Needs update"
Pretty nice app but it unfortunately does not have the 4th edition of the Big Book
-- himynameisshane, 2018-11-18

### ***** "True Companion"
Today I celebrate 4 years sober and this app has been with me since Day 1!  What a gift.
-- Houstonfly, 2018-11-14
