Drinker's Helper - Drink Less

Nbnbj

Downloaded this app to check it out and they started charging me for it. Didn’t realize that just downloading it to check it out meant you agree to pay $15.93 per month. Never used it, forgot about it and now I see they’ve charged me for 3 months. $50 stolen.

At first, I loved this app. It gave helpful information to assist in quitting drinking, puts you in a support group with other people that use the app and has a tracker for calories saved/$ saved/drinks had. An irritating aspect is that the tracker is not a “running total” of these items. I would like to see the tracked items saved to date instead of the tracker resetting back to zero each week. But I could live with that. Now when I post in the online group, none of the posts are saved! It’s quite frustrating when you’re asking for help/feedback from someone just to go back into the app and see the post didn’t even register in the system. I’m emailing this company to ask for my yearly subscription money back, don’t waste your time trying this one.

My card was charged for a full year during the trial period. They will not get back to me. I’ve tried contacting them several times.

This app is very helpful in multiple ways to cut back or quit drinking. It’s been well worth the fee and my reduction in drinking more than makes up for the money spent. It has a great online community of supportive members who encourage each other, share triumphs, challenges, and tips. It also has a bunch of “lessons” based on cognitive behavioral therapy and other models that you can do and re-do at your own pace, and as many times as you need. It has great tracking tools to track drinks, alcohol free days, urges, downsides, and benefits. Finally, it has great tech-support. There’s a contact form if you have any questions or problems with technical glitches, and they have been very responsive and helpful. Whether you want to quit or just cut back on your drinking for whatever reason I highly recommend it.

App functionality does not work well with the new iPhones. You can’t select the profile or group links at the top of the screen.

I have an iPhone14Pro that is in excellent condition. This app has navigation arrows at the very top of the screen and my phone just doesn’t do upper left or right corners so I had to delete the app. It was so frustrating, it almost drove me to drink. I decided to find an app less frustrating to navigate instead

I would love an update that allows for a drink that has 1.5 shots of liquor, currently only whole numbers are allowed. Otherwise great app, love the anonymity.

Hey great answer all these questions and roughly you are saving this amount of money not drinking so we are going to charge you that much to use our app!! joke

Good for accountability and and courses that help you to understand the negatives of drinking, those courses had major impact on my motivation to stay sober. The chat rooms were comber some and sometimes hard to follow if there are multiple conversations at once. The application constantly freezes which is highly annoying. Overall good accountability app. For the $10 per month.
