Community Voice & Feedback
I wish Dean would add the additional stories from the newer additions. The stories that are significant for me include acceptance prayer and the resentment prayer. I thought these used to be included but I guess not. An update to add these stories would be wonderful.
This is by far my most favorite AA app. I had somehow deleted a few word from a sentence and cannot figure out how to update/fix my error. Page 42.
"I saw that will power and self-knowledge would not help in those strange" how I deleted this I do not know. I want to fix it but have some many things highlighted that I do not want do delete and reinstall as I do not want to loose my years of work. Can you help?

I wish that some tech-savvy recovering Friend could find a way to update this app. Mine is no longer searchable.
It would be really nice if you could add the concepts. And the AA world service manual.
Also, you might want to update the preamble and anything else that’s conference approved.

I am probably not the first to say this but PLEASE include the 12x12 to consolidate apps.
I’ve used this app for many years and when I tried to go fully digital at meetings, I soon realized this was a second edition version. I can only rate this higher if I have content that is read at big book meetings.
Would be great if this were the fourth edition and included the Preface, all Forewords and stories from the fourth edition. Also there are a lot of typos in the Forewords. I love that you can highlight passages and the day count is great too!
I’ve had this app for ten+ years. Over the years, I can’t count how many times this has saved my day!!
Very disappointed that, Acceptance is the Answer , is not included in the stories . how could this be left out?
This app is great and been around years but would love a dev update to include fourth edition stories.
This has been a helpful app. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because you cannot see the page numbers on the index where the chapters are listed. Those page numbers would be helpful if they are added. However, you can see the page numbers once you click into the chapter.
This is a great app and I’ve really enjoyed using it. One thing that would make it five stars for me would be to add the ability to turn on push notifications both in the morning and in the evening to prompt meditation and reflection.
I used the app today to read the Traditions for my Home Group Zoom meeting while traveling. I stopped momentarily while reading the 5th Traditions… it was wrong! It reads “to carry the message” rather than “to carry its message”; as shown in the 12 and 12 and Alcoholics Anonymous. I remember this from hearing Clancy reading the Traditions at a meeting in Waukesha, WI. He stopped, corrected the wording, and went on to explain the difference and why it is important in typical Clancy style.
It is not the 12 step 12 tradition book
Missing “Acceptance was the answer” in the story section. Which is a big disappointment.
