I Am Sober
authentic ratingThe largest tracker in the space with a live community and journal. The core counter and support feed work, but a wave of bans has undermined the key value proposition: the community itself. Part of the audience, including teenagers and self-harm, goes beyond the traditional sobriety niche.

About the rating
Store avg 4.88 vs. text avg 4.34 and 73% five-star reviews. A modest gap for this size of audience. Reviews are varied with many personal, sometimes raw, stories. Normal pattern for a recovery community app.
Strengths
What users love
- An asynchronous community feed where people share progress and receive real responses. The counter lets you enter a past date to mark when your journey actually began.
Weak spots
What users hate
- The community moderation algorithm reportedly bans people arbitrarily
- Destroying the connections that keep people in the app.
Who it is for
People in the early stages of quitting any habit (alcohol, smoking, self-harm, others) who need a live support feed, not just numbers on a screen.
