Review summary

Users largely praise the AA Daily Reflection app for its ad-free, simple access to daily reflections and helpful notifications, viewing it as a valuable, distraction-free resource. However, many reviews repeatedly report calendar and sobriety-date problems—dates not advancing, months cropped, and difficulty entering or changing sobriety dates. Additional issues include lack of search or backward/forward navigation, occasional freezes and calendar search bugs, and typos or text accuracy concerns. A subset of users calls for fixes, while others remain satisfied with the core content and its straightforward design.

Pros

Ad-free experience with no ads or in-app purchases
Useful daily reflections resource that many users rely on
Simple, focused design with no unnecessary features
Helpful daily reminders/notifications

Cons

Calendar/date functionality is buggy: date does not advance, bottom portion of months is inaccessible, and the last week of months may be cropped
Sobriety date entry/setting issues: cannot set or change the sobriety date correctly (reverts to present day, month/year limitations)
No built-in search or backwards/forwards navigation for reflections, making it hard to review past days
Occasional app instability and UI glitches (e.g., freezes, calendar search problems, header/visual issues)
Typos and inconsistent text/accuracy in the reflected readings

2025-01-30	No*****	I’m so glad to see this app doesn’t have ads or in app purchases. This is a wonderful resource to alcoholics like me and others all around the world, and to see someone create one without profit really strikes my heart as a kind gesture sent out into the world. Thank you for making this.

2024-11-05	Ro*****	Daily reflections are great. This application has become ridiculous as the date is now consistently off by a day. I will try it one more time but daily reflections is also in the ‘Everything AA’ app and might just be easier as this is not rocket science and they have made it frustrating. I have the power to not get frustrated by not using this app. 😄

2024-07-29	Gl*****	Thank you for this app, Steve! Wondering though if ability to highlight text could be added, as well as ability to ‘favorite’ a day’s reflection. Also hoping to see ability to swipe between days to review them.

2024-04-30	Do*****	Apple should remove the app since the developer has no interest in fixing problems

2024-01-31	Pe*****	Like Dan B, a year ago, I can’t access the last line of the calendar and the reading did not automatically turn to the new day during the last week of the month. I like to share the readings with women I sponsor so this makes that process harder. I’m going to reload the app but reading the comment from a year ago doesn’t give me much hope. Linda B

2024-01-06	ro*****	Sharing five stars because it’s extremely useful and the only app that I allow notifications. but the app calendar visual doesn’t work. The last week of every month is cut off. Just let us type the date. iPhone SE 2nd gen and otheres complain too.

2022-12-28	1d*****	I have loaded and unloaded this app several times, hoping to resolve a problem with the calendar search. It appears that on my iPhone that only the first three lines of a month are visible. If I wanted to choose a date towards the bottom of the calendar, it would not be available for choosing, whether the phone is in a vertical or horizontal position. This has caused me to delete and replace it with another option. I am only sending this message to you so that you are aware of your access issue to your calendar search feature. Thank you, Dan B

2022-12-26	wi*****	This at doesn’t let you put in a date past the 19th of any month. I was using this for my first 15 months and then it just froze. Looks like it never got fixed
