Was truly disappointed with a Hazelden App for the first time. There are numerous FREE apps on the market with more user-friendly functions and more applicable to your Canadian friends. Truly expected better....would never have paid for such a simplist a

My relapse prevention plan, my progress on the challenges, where I'm at on the "today"section, & my "track"section are all reset. All my info gone! *2/7/14 I paid for the second section but when I click on a challenge it goes to a blank glitchy screen. Can't even use it!*3/21/14 still can't see challenges!!

I bought this app specifically to show me where meetings are in my area. What support is giving people the main HQ in your area? What is the point. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!. I was in a meeting tonight after buying it now I am stuck with this VERY slow eye sore. Why is it that no one can make a meeting finder app that is worth anything? I guess I will have to build my own. I should be working on my recovery not fixing an app I paid good money for.

The content of this app is amazing. I've only made it through the first couple of days but it is great to have this resource on my phone so I can use the steps at work. I also highly recommend products from hazelden. My one complaint is that the technology is a little unwieldy, but I like it for the content even if the navigation isn't smooth.

DISAPPOINTING, I loved this app until yesterday when it stopped tracking the power- ups and obstacles. It will save under that function. I uninstalled this app hoping to fix the error. It uninstalled the second and third sections as well and will not let me reinstall them even when I want to buy them again. After the app updated, I was able to reinstall parts 2 and 3. The todays tracking power up and obstacle buttons are still not back to functional.

Even though I'm more into the smart approach I think this app is a great tool for support when you can't talk to a friend or go to a meeting. I enjoy the everyday lessons.
