Kalshi Sponsors this app. … which is weird? So I guess if you have a GAMBLING ADDICTION. Don’t use this app. Disgusting

Harmful ads. Pretty messed up that the ads on an app targeted towards people with addiction issues are for gambling. (For the record I’ve never received gambling ads outside of this app and 90% of my ads within the app are for a gambling platform). Additionally, I understand having ads on a free app, but not after every single navigation option. Makes it unusable.

Frauds. Gambling adds on an addiction recovery site. Frauds

Horrible coding. Embarrassing
- ★★★★★ads are too frequent and long
The amount and size of Ads is disgusting.. I used the app for less than five minutes. As soon as I had repeated full screen size ads in my face I automatically deleted this app. I Am Sober is the better app. They have non intrusive ads.

Gambling Ad’s on a Sober App?. This app just put an ad with a slot machine saying “Click me!” on my screen. Don’t use this especially if you have a history of gambling addiction. Extremely neglectful.

Ruined. This was a great tool, but game ads that pop up every time you click something made it unusable.

Clock reset unprompted. I’ve tried resetting it to my original start date(Jan 6th) after it reset February 6th??? So it’s not even successfully counting my sober days. Ridiculous
- ★★★★★ads are too frequent and long
Insane amount of adds. If I use the app 2 minutes a day I’m navigating at least 3-5 adds.

Ads make it too frustrating. I just got the app this week and was trying to finish setting it up. Every tiny change I made ( correct a date, name a tracker etc) it takes you to an ad. Who has time to watch an ad after every dang click.

Updates. The new update adds pop-up ads and a paywall to your day count. Plus now linked to BetterHelp, seems pretty corporate now. Don’t recommend.

Great. Great app, I really enjoy how it has journaling prompts daily. I only gave it four stars because it has a lot of adds.
- ★★★★★ads are too frequent and long
Can’t use die to pop ups. This app is basically one giant ad machine pretending to be a sobriety tracker. I can’t navigate for more than two seconds without another pop-up blocking the entire screen. It’s impossible to use, impossible to track anything, and honestly feels predatory for people trying to get sober. If the developers cared about recovery even half as much as they care about stuffing ads everywhere, this could’ve been a great tool. Right now? Completely unusable.

Ads are too intrusive.. The title says it all.
- ★★★★★gambling ads and harmful partners shown to people in recovery
Horrible as space. Signed up because I’m trying to get over a gambling addiction. The first pop up ad that comes up was an online casino ad. This is just flat out disgusting and wrong. Terrible ad spacing making me want to relapse. Thanks a lot!

Addiction ads. This app would be good except for the annoying ads. Worst of all they are for the addictions people are trying to break. Glad I don’t have a gambling or gaming addiction or I would’ve relapsed already. I swear the gambling ad I saw was telling you to delete the sobriety app and download their gambling app. If so, that’s disgusting marketing

Doesn’t track. It has said 20 days for a couple of weeks now the same amount of time and everything. It never keeps track of anything.

Apps. Too many apps you can’t get out of

Insane amount of ads. Have used this app in the past when it had a normal amount of advertising for being a free service. Just re-downloaded as I am back on a path of sobriety and holy cow!!! The app is almost unusable due to the frequency and length of ads! Not interested in paying just to get rid of them, although that seems to be their goal here! I’ll be deleting permanently and looking for a new sobriety aid without the obnoxious advertising!!
- ★★★★★ads are too frequent and long
Adds ruin app. Choose another app that doesn’t make you watch long adds constantly. Not recommended for anyone looking for a sobriety counter app
- ★★★★★ads are too frequent and long
Too many ads. They seem to pop up on every button I press. Way too intrusive!
- ★★★★★subscription for the widget and app pricing
Bad at free avoidance of addiction. Paywalls or 30 sec ads every time I’ve been most vulnerable
- ★★★★★gambling ads and harmful partners shown to people in recovery
Addiction ads. Gives ads for addictions such as gambling! Not worth downloading.
- ★★★★★ads are too frequent and long
Ads ruin it. Great app, but the ads completely ruin the experience. Deleted it and went back to I Am Sober.
- ★★★★★gambling ads and harmful partners shown to people in recovery
App? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Execution? ⭐️. Page me when you get rid of the cumbersome ads. It’s such a nice app. And does minimal server side. So what am I paying for? The ad system required more work probably. So there’s zero reason to give me a 20-30+ second Kalshi add literally 3 times within 4 minutes of opening the app the first time. Even as someone in development, it’s just greedy. Make the UX enjoyable and people will actually download your future projects. And pay a higher premium.

Missing things. I believe it should have more “work book” type content that would help me keep my mind and hands busy.
- ★★★★★gambling ads and harmful partners shown to people in recovery
Ads. I use sober time everyday and I love the app and the questions they challenge you with everyday. The only thing is I use it for gambling and every ad is for a gambling site… please fix this. Other than that 5 stars

Ads. Absolutely way to many ads and you have to wait for the to finish till you actually get the information you want
- ★★★★★other
Basic. It's OK it's just really basic
- ★★★★★ads are too frequent and long
Free version could be less annoying.. Wish it wouldn’t click back to an add every time you try to back out of something forcing you to hard close the app and restart it just to get back to the screen you need.. if that’s your strategy to force addicts trying to recover to pay for your subscription in this market, that’s pretty lame! Otherwise not a bad app.
