An editorial reading of the saved reviews

A sober social network with a feed, a tracker, a dating section for people in recovery, and a marketplace. The concept is interesting but execution is weak: the dating section is full of scammers, notifications are unmanageable, and the user base outside major cities is thin.

What people use it for

People in recovery in major cities who want a social network built specifically for sober people, not just a tracker.

What reviews praise

The idea of a network for sober people only, with the ability to find connections and events.
Real-time support from live community members.
The feed as a public recovery journal.

What reviews complain about

The dating section is overrun with scammers.
Up to 93 notifications a day with no granular control.
Marketplace and investment pitches in the feed get in the way.
Account bans for anonymous avatars are a problem for people who value privacy around addiction.
Technical crashes.

What users experience

1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

They've disabled the option to create an account using your email. The options they offer create an account with your full name. I don't want to use my full name and I think the user should be allowed this privacy.
