Review summary

Users broadly praise the app for its extensive, searchable library of Sandy B’s recovery talks and related 12-step content, delivered in his engaging, humorous style. Many report it as a convenient, life-changing resource for sobriety and spiritual growth, usable anywhere. However, multiple reviews highlight drawbacks: heavy advertising and problematic ad removal purchases, plus playback and UX issues such as crashes and difficulty resuming a track. Overall, the content is highly valued, while the app experience is mixed due to ads and performance problems.

2021-05-19	pu*****	When I first moved to Fleming Island, FL, IN 2007, I remember going to the twice annual roundup in Tampa, Fl, where Sandy did his “ talks”. I got a lot out of them, and got to know him well enough to say, “ isn’t it a great day to be sober”? I will always cherish those round ups. I heard some great speakers there, but I really enjoyed listening to Sandy. May he Rest In Peace. I love you, Sandy; See ya in a little while.... Mike T.

2019-02-28	lo*****	Can’t put track on hold and return to it later? Only goes back to main menu with no indication of which track you were listening. When reopened must again go through stubborn treatment adds or pay more to supposedly have them remove. Looks like a lot of great information bombarded by Numerous adds.
