1. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Chief keef. Can’t keep me sober buddy

2. ★★★★★account bans or deletion without explanation

   Are you using ai now???. There seems to be some weird banning spree throughout this app. Nearly everyone I’ve met through this app has gotten banned recently, when they have no reason to. I’ve gotten banned so many times I’ve lost count. It’s gotten go the point that I feel like you guys are using ai. It’s taking away the community aspect of this app, which means absolutely everything to so many people using it, including myself.

3. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Wish I could provide zero stars. App charged me but I’ve never had access to premium. Zero way to contact them. Apple is reporting the app.

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Do yall just ban people for fun?. I can't use this to fix my mental health if you ban me and everyone I know. Was an amazing app at first and met some of my best friends there, but it's practically unusable when it comes to the community feature now.

5. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Depressing. This app sucks. No real insight, nothing but people complaining about how they can’t get through the day, but no real help offered (unless you want to pay for their counseling services). I found it to be not just uninspiring, but a complete waste of time and money.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   My data disappeared!!!. I would hope you’re able to recover my Sobriety date. Seven months.

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Stole $30. I never agreed to any charges, yet this app charged my account $30. I thought it was just a free app to track sobriety.. Shady business guys.. shame on you.

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   this app isnt what you want. this app use to be free! why you gotta pay now 👎🏽

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   useless. has a similar interface to the “clock” or “notes” app, except with far less options. there is, however, the option to pay a monthly fee to mark a time on the clock. let me remind u every free feature is already in ur phone by default. this app has no use

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Kenzie. I hate it

11. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Waay too intrusive. If you’re looking for an app, that will help you keep track of how many days you have sober you’re better off just asking Google if you know what your sobriety date is, but if you’re looking for an app, that is way too intrusive and collects way too much data and tracks when you ask it not to track and look no further. If you’re having thoughts or want to pick up, go to a meeting call somebody. This app just keeps trying to press you to pay for a subscription.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    This app isn’t free. I was looking for a sobriety app to motivate me to quit drinking and sure.. it’s not a lot of money… but I spent 10 minutes setting it up only to be asked to pay 40$ after a 7 day free trial.. everyone in reviews says it’s free.. very misleading.

13. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Use any other app. Automatically deleted over five years of progress!! Don’t use this app. After not opening the app for a hot minute (which should be a good thing, haven’t had to log any relapses), my phone had offloaded the app for storage. Decided to go ahead and log back in after a few months to see my updated progress, to see it had all be erased. Very upset.

14. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Refusing refund. I did the free trial for the week and they charged me a day before the trial was up. I’ve sent out multiple emails informing them I was planning to cxl it later on the 24th since the trial was going to be up on the 25th. After repeated attempts of trying to contact them they never reached back out.

15. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Constant upsell attempts are gross. Seems fine enough but the app prompting you to upgrade to premium EVERY time you use it is legitimately disgusting. Uninstalling.

16. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Scam. This app is a scam. I tried to 14 days Pre free Trial and when I look at my bank statement for Apple subscription stated that it took $39 out of my account for a yearly fee and I tried ways to cancel the subscription, but there are no ways.

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    You get censored a lot.. You can’t even talk about most struggles without being blocked. It’s mainly full of 12 year olds whining about problems that will not matter in 5 years. It may matter to them, but it’s frustrating that they can talk about more triggering topics than I can. I’ve seen hyper dependent people thinking about ending it and talking about it, but I can’t talk about medical “adult” problems that causes me so much stress that I worry I’ll relapse? Make it make sense. I’m tired of a literal anon app where you can discuss struggles censoring my personal struggles. It got to the point where I could only get out my weekly frustration by complaining about the internet due to my real struggles being blocked. What good does that do? No, the app is not a therapist. It’s not necessarily a place to release frustration, but that’s what it’s being used for. If 12 year olds can do it, why can’t I?

18. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Beware. Deleted years of progress when I updated to a new phone claiming that none of my progress was tied to my free account. Very upsetting and demoralizing.

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Paid. Now cost $40 per year used to be free

20. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    capitalist hacks. do you understand how ethical it is to put features which contribute toward recovery behind a paywall? this company should be ashamed of itself.

21. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Pathetic. You know how many free “sober” apps there are. For you to charge someone to track their sobriety??? What the heck is wrong with you guys! Can’t find it in your hearts to just HELP people and feel good about it??? No you have to take their money. Listen, I’ll get a piece of paper and everyday that i am sober I’ll make a tally mark and guess what IT WILL BE FREE!! Again y’all are absolutely PATHETIC.

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Unless you have deep pockets and are a good liar, this app won’t help you.. This app exists to make money, not to help. Duolingo does a better job of helping me keep a streak than this platform. Unless you’re gonna talk about how everything is perfectly fine and not ask for help, the free forums are useless and the moderation will stomp you if you show even the smallest bit of weakness. I got on here to recover from SH, and it’s really only made me feel worse about recovering. Recovery hinges on honesty and peer support, and this app fakes that by blocking any requests for help and only showing those doing well in their sobriety journey while constantly asking for your money. A calendar and a Reddit account helps more than this app. In response to automatic dev reply: your “community” is entirely comprised of middle school aged kids posting self pitying dreck and offering no support to others. Even if they did, your god awful ai-moderation flags anything that shows the smallest bit of vulnerability, and your terms of use actually prohibit the recommendation of coping mechanisms and support. Twitter has a better community than the one you’ve let fester here. Thanks for reminding me to remove a star.

23. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    No Where to Cancel & font is too small. Nowhere for me to cancel free trial in the app nor at the Apple Store where they want me to revise payment, which means it would go through as soon as I revise no customer service just technical contact and feedback contact. They better not charge me a day after tomorrow Overly complicated want his way too small you can’t even read anything

24. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Not sure about the app. Im done. I couldn’t get through the inquisition required to get started. After the first 30 questions, I just deleted the app. So stupid to force someone to answer a billion questions, without any kind of progress bar, and only give specific, sometimes unrelated, multiple choice answers, without an option to skip, just to get in the door. It’s enough to drive a man to the drink. Oh well.

25. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    DO NOT DOWNLOAD. worst tracking app there is, i wish i could rate it lower. you have to pay for 90% of the stuff on the app and EVERY SINGLE TIME I get on it im logged out. I cant even be proud of how long ive been clean for because no matter what I do I will be logged out when I open it again.

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    $. Im so glad that you look at my desire for sobriety as a way to make money.

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Annoying!!!!!!. If I set the app to not track, that means assume that I had drinks. Somehow it logged that I had a 170 day streak, and it won't let me delete bulk days or mark bulk days as drinking. So I went in and marked every day on about 3 months. Then when I went to streaks, it said "1 day streak" for every day. It's not a 1 day streak. Wtf. I'm deleting this app. Super annoying.

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    I am sober app unable to post bug. No matter what EVERYONE post, it tells me “unable to post due to violating guidelines” even if I post something innocent like “Yay, 2 days sober” Your AI slop ruined this app.

29. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Basic app that is subscription hungry. Typical sober app, cares more about stealing money from your pocket than it does helping you. No reminder to cancel trial and got charged for a year when I picked the monthly plan. Screw developers like this and greedy subscription plans.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App asks for money too much. Cant use the app without it repeatedly having its own pop ups for money. Ruins the app for me when I have to close 4 pops to “donate” when I just want to log my daily stuff.
