12 Steps Companion AA Big Book for Positive User Reviews

✓ Great App!Thank you thank you!! There is no reason to mess this perfect app up with the 12x12 or especially the 24 book. This is and has been the main book for many years now. Mine still works fine even with the 3.0 If people want those other apps, they should look unto it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!! This was a superb idea and is perfect for meetings.. I'm a thumper myself and I don't think the other things hold a candle to this precious piece of God's sweet grace.. If you add contacts for areas and intergroups and hotlines, that would be great! But it already has a bunch. I travel for business and I've found bunches of meetings all over! God bless the service God has instilled in your heart. It's great to be a recovered alcoholic...LilMrsBBVersion: 0

✓ Easy and convenient!I have all these apps and I found this one was the easiest to navigate! Always love the sobriety calculator. Easy to use, if you are in a book study and forgot your book, its all there on the phone..HanaleidragonVersion: 2.5.9.4

✓ Another CommentI am still very grateful for this app. Personally, I miss the originall AA type logo. I had it on my main screen and more then a few people asked me what it was. I am not a prostelitizer, nor am I always feeling "proud" of going to a 12 step meeting. But, when my Higher Power puts someone in my path that asks, I feel compelled to take the time to pass along my story and offer help OR a phone number. Recently I had the opportunity while traveling to use your App to give two people in one week their home AA contact number. Thank You!.JmedvmVersion: 0

✓ Adding push notifications for morning/evening would make this 5 starsThis 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..DjsrunnerVersion: 2.5.9.6

✓ Great app!I can't tell you how much I love this tool. I think it's wonderful to have access to all this at the push of a button. To the folks with negative feedback... GROW UP? Do the right thing and correct it so the people thinking about buying aren't swayed by silly rantings, it speaks volumes about the quality of your sobriety to slam something for a glitch. He might have done it on purpose though so he could have people yell at him... Or maybe he can't fix it because he is so wealthy he's retired now after selling all of these. God bless us all we really need the help and thank you for the great tool it helps!.RobesmVersion: 0

✓ Good appAt first I had a problem buying this app considering that this is the one way A.A. makes any money to be able to spread the message. After correspondence with the apps author and World Services. I have decided to purchase it. I have to say that the author has created one Hell of a useful app!! This is a great tool especially working with sponsees that have questions or arguments, as we new AA'ers are apt to do. It is also nice to have all of the central services phone numbers and addresses. Many thanks and kudo's to the author! Keep it up and I hope to see some updates to this highly useful app. As to others with some of the requests... Remember our primary purpose is to help the alcoholic that still suffers. Other apps would technically need to be written concerning issues unrelated to alcohol. Lots of us in A.A. have had experience with other substances, which are different programs... As to stories... I'm pretty sure those have different guidelines. And none can be used from 3rd or 4th Editions God Speed....Nexus6manVersion: 0

✓ Where can you INCREASE THE FONT......Please help!.RtqueenbVersion: 2.5.9.4

✓ Great and helpful app!I believe that this app is awesome; it has been very helpful to me. As for update 1.8.0, yes it had it's bugs but as addicts we should not put all our pennies in one bag; if the app is not working for you then contact a sponsor anyway; don't blame the app, or the creator, for any slips that you have....take responsibility, make ammends, and move on. If this is the only thing that is keeping you sober, it might be necessary to revisit your program...remember, meetings, meetings, meetings....nowhere in there is the idea of app----although it is helpful it can't be the cornerstone of our program..ZeroPsychVersion: 0

✓ Great app, but one requestLove the app, but would love Dr. Paul’s story from the third edition (page 449). He talks about acceptance. Would love to read that daily on the app. Thank you for your service!.MrWangprVersion: 2.5.9.4

✓ Updated reviewUpdate: thank you VERY much for putting back the old sobriety calculator. It means a lot to all of us and please I beg you never to change it again it doesn't need fixing the color the look it's all perfect! Thank you so much for this wonderful app and now I can post it on facebook because it's pretty!!! :) Old review was 1 star Calculator Now looks very ugly like some weird cartoon diary. The app looks tragic. Put it back the way that it was! 29 people have complained about the CALCULATOR how many have said they love it? Was such a nice app. Who complained about the old design inspiring the change that no one likes?I will no longer recommend anyone wasting their time or money it's turned into a total joke of an app. Rate this app what it deserves..AqsanVersion: 2.2

✓ Good appThis 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..SEC fan10Version: 2.5.9.6

✓ Love itI recently purchased this app because I am so used to having a big book on my phone. Even after almost 8 years sober I still forget to bring my book to meetings! Thank you Dean for putting this together. It's much better then the previous one I had on my old phone. Words where missing out of it and so far this version has been flawless. Purchasing this app is like Tradition 8 for me '...but our service centers may employ special workers.' new age form of special workers and service centers. Plus the fact I can copy and send paragraphs to my girls is awesome! I love how the meditations come from the book as well. This is how I got sober! I will enjoy this app and easy references so thank you!.Ponce87Version: 1.9

✓ Almost PerfectAwesome start. I use this every morning. I have also bought a few of the ibook versions, which miss the boat completely, since the pages don't line up with the printed version. (duh?) This app really needs the rest of the pages of the current text, so one can follow along with someone reading in a meeting, right? Seems like without that you still have to carry a printed Bigbook, and that defeats the whole purpose of this app. I'd gladly pay more money to have the rest of the book, 'cause now I get a resentment every time somebody starts reading from the back of a later edition. (jk) ...Looking forward to a finished version.BeatfreqVersion: 1.9

✓ Great AppSobriety counter changes your sobriety date by mistake when you change time zones. That would be my only complaint. I use the App daily and love it..TBG 2Version: 2.5.9.4

✓ True CompanionToday I celebrate 4 years sober and this app has been with me since Day 1! What a gift..HoustonflyVersion: 2.5.9.4

✓ Great appUpdate: Thanks for restoring the old calculator. The home sceen shot on the app store is now out of date - showing the way it looks now might help with those who were frustrated by the calculator change. ----- This is an excellent Big Book app. I wish our GSO would catch up with technology and provide current and complete versions of approved literature on mobile devices. As long as they don't, I greatly appreciate efforts of people like Dean to give us as much as they can responsibly and legally; and, this app does it simply and very, very well. I particularly like the search feature and the separate sections providing quick navigation to the 12 steps, prayers and promises associated with each step, and the preamble (this last is handy when somebody forgets to bring the secretary binder to a meeting). Hmmm, highlighting? Is that new?.GoinkleVersion: 2.2

✓ FantasticI downloaded as soon as a friend told me about this app and I was hooked. And, this was before the update that included the Drs. Opinion, stories, etc. I thought the price was perfect as was everything that was included in v1.0. My one complaint is not with the app but with the early, hyper critical reviews. The price? Give me a break--it is less than a drink or 2 cups of coffee. Missing some parts of the BB? Be thankful for the ease of having the first 164 pages and be grateful that someone took the time to even develop the app. Again, thanks for developing this app. I and many others thank you..HamiltonjfVersion: 0

✓ Please add page numbers which correspond to page numbers in Big BookPlease add page numbers which correspond to page numbers in Big Book so we can keep up with Big Book study’s in meetings. It wouldn’t me necessary to keep them is the same order as the book as long as we could search text by page numbers . Thanks ;in advance..DouglashdVersion: 2.5.9.3

✓ Amazing! Thank you for putting the work into this.Every feature is beautifully implemented and very useful. Landscape book reading is great, sobriety calculator is awesome, and central office contacts are incredibly useful and linked perfectly to Safari, Mail, and Phone. I was considering writing a program like this over the summer, but never got around to it. So $2.99 sure beats the hours I would have put into my little project! It would be very nice to have page numbers, especially when people refer to a specific page in a meeting or something. But I can't even think about a good way to implement that, so I can't mark you down any stars for that. And please add in the other appendices, or at least the Traditions appendix!.JDDudleyVersion: 0

✓ One app at a timeThis app is great!! I love to have the big book wherever I go without having to carry a huge purse. Now I have most of it in my phone! Thank you soo much to the developers. Also to the handy sobriety calc, I have 1,001 days sober today :) which is pretty awesome to SEE. My mom'll have 15 years in january and shes amazed how the word of AA can be literally always at your fingertips. I'm truly never alone, whether in traffic or waiting at the post office, I always hAve plenty of time for my "bible". My only request is can we get page 449? Acceptance is my favorite story. Thank you again soo much for this app. It is truly amazing. I'm sure Bill is smiling down on you..2nd generation friend of billsVersion: 0

✓ Fantastic appGreat search feature. One thing though since it's a one day at a time program, maybe consider listing number of days sober first in the opening splash screen instead of years. But I do understand the progression from years to hours. Keep up the good work..WareaglewaltVersion: 2.5.9.3

✓ No Acceptance is the AnswerThis app is great and been around years but would love a dev update to include fourth edition stories..PixiluxeVersion: 2.5.9.6

✓ Excellent Design, User-Friendly, Comprehensive!Well-thought design with sobriety calculator and quick, easy, access to the every day Big Book components you’ll need for meeting readings, shares, prayers and more. You can quickly access topics like The Promises, so you’re expertly ‘on topic’ if you don’t have passages memorized. I also love the ability to zoom from the screen. I highly recommend this app for your sobriety toolbox!.April of the DesertVersion: 2.5.9.4

✓ High Tech RecoveryI’ve had this app for ten+ years. Over the years, I can’t count how many times this has saved my day!!.JenJillyVersion: 2.5.9.6

✓ I Love This App!I only use this app with my Big Book!.Delaware TeacherVersion: 2.5.9.3

✓ QuestionWhy isn’t my chance to live in the personal storys.Kai with the reviewsVersion: 2.5.9.3

✓ Nice app, but has a glitch **FIXED*** Update *** Messaged developer Dean, and he walked me through how to do a no-cost “delete and re-download.” Works fine, glitch was during the first download and not the app itself. Dean responded quickly, professionally, and even did a follow-up to be sure I was happy. Well done, and I AM happy with the app now! I recently downloaded this app, and it seems to be everything I wanted. But sometimes when you select a sentence or passage to highlight, when you actually hit Highlight, sometimes it works, but sometimes it DELETES the selection!.Laser317Version: 2.5.9.4

✓ PerfectSimple, easy to use, all the basic literature you need... and BEST of all THEY DON’T ASK FOR EMAIL or other personal info!!!.AlicattacliAVersion: 2.5.9.6

✓ A program necessity!Love this app! I love having this at my finger tips to be able to take out when I need it. I love my BB too... But I can't always break it out when I want/need to. The ONLY thing I can point out that would need to be an improvement or fix is that: I went to look something up by a page number the other day...but it doesn't work. There is an option to click to go to a page but when I type it in it says page cannot be found (because there are no page numbers!) If that could be remedied...that would be awesome!!!.BeckysanVersion: 1.9

✓ Thank you Dean!!! :)I must say that I was very grateful to see that the app was updated. I work grave shift and finding a 1 by the update icon really made my day; even if it was 3AM. When I updated I was very pleased to find all of my old data was still there. A simple showing of the sobriety counter lifted my spirits in ways that are hard to put into words!! Dean you are the man!!! People, please make sure your device is running iOS4, and that you have the latest version of iTunes installed. Performing these simple actions BEFORE updating the 12 Step Companion will make you a very happy person!!!.SomeDudeWhoKnowsBillVersion: 0

✓ Not working in IOS 12, NOW FIXEDThis App has been a favorite of mine for over 10 years. This beautiful software was nonfunctional in iOS 12. IOS 12.1 fixed it. Thanks..GregsiPhoneVersion: 2.5.9.4

✓ Thanks for the update!I didn't realize how much I depended on this app till I crashed on me! I really appreciate the work that went into this and I look forward to improvements coming down the road. In early sobriety I've run into many other aa's that use it and I recommend it to others that don't have it yet. Wishlist: I would like to see the ability to annotate the text with my notes, having them visible either highlighted or italicized. I would also like to see the ability to highlight sections of the text. The way the notes work now is kind of cumbersome and not very intuitive. Is there a way to enable the multitasking feature instead of opening the app each time with the splash screen, or even to have ability to disable the splash screen to open right back up to the previous page you were viewing? Overall- great app. Highly reccomended.JimMooreATLVersion: 0

✓ The best recovery app on the App Store!I'm so grateful for finding this app! Hands down the best and easiest to use! The 12 steps, 12 traditions, prayers and personal stories are a nice bonus to have on the go too!.Crack HammerVersion: 2.5.9.3

✓ Thank you!! Wonderful work!This app is by far the most useful app I've ever down loaded! I was so excited when I came across it. I can't believe that any person in recovery would even consider giving this a bad review. If people would take the time to read what the devoloper states about the copyright laws then they would know that the traditions and steps (12x12) are not allowed to be reproduced and only the material from the first and second edition is allowed to be used in publications like these because the copy right has expired on them. Take a second and have some gratitude that someone made this app available to anyone with the ability to download it and that the price is only $2.99, which is considerably cheaper than what I spent to buy my small soft covered edition of the Big Book to keep in my purse, which has print so small that I can barely read. I'm looking foward to future updates and other applications from Dean Huff. Great job!!.Brie LawsonVersion: 0

✓ 12 step AA companionUseful basic app. I was super pumped when I found it and told my program friends with iphones right away. Thanks for your hard work Dean. Just a few questions/suggestions. I understand the copyright laws limit the content but where is the preface and the forward to the second edition? The basic text is included but the book is incomplete without those chapters. Bookmark feature would be much more useful if multiple bookmarks could be added, viewed, named and chosen from a list. Font should have feature to change default (size) used in program. Highlighting would be a nice frill feature. I don't know what adding these features requires, I am only an app user. I'm a little concerned about the money thing, since we always need to be protective of the welfare of the group. I'll trust the issue has been reviewed by "the elders"..MariatfitzVersion: 0
