I love Sunnyside! I am on my third year of using the app. It has helped me feel more in control of my drinking and I still appreciate the daily reminders to help me stay on track with my goals!

I don't care for the reminders that pop up on my AppleCar Play for everyone in the car to see I use an alcohol moderation app. That's my bizz.
