Recurring complaints focus on reliability after updates, offline playback limitations, outdated content, and limited customer support. When functioning, it offers strong value; however, ongoing maintenance and bug fixes are needed for a consistently smooth experience. ### Pros - Huge selection of speakers across 12-step programs (AA, OA, Al-Anon, NA, etc.) - Downloadable content for offline listening (ideal for flights, commutes, and areas without wifi) - On-the-go accessibility and serves as a portable meeting substitute (great for car listening) - Good value for money / worth the price ### Cons - Reliability issues after updates: app crashes or stops working and may not be maintained - Offline playback problems: downloaded talks may not play offline or require an online connection to switch speakers - Content can be outdated or not updated regularly (older material available, few recent updates) - Customer support is often perceived as lacking or unresponsive ## Similar extensions and apps - [AA Speaker Tapes & 12 Steps](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1018096090) — 4.80 / 5 - [AA Speakers - Speaker Tapes](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id898586463) — 4.90 / 5 - [Al-Anon Speaker Tapes for Alanon, Alateen 12 Steps](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1027252913) — 4.80 / 5 - [12 Steps Guide](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1238097883) — 4.80 / 5 - [Recovery Audio](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6755355245) — 3.70 / 5 - [NA Speaker Tapes & Addiction Recovery Audio](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1018096532) — 4.80 / 5 - [AA Sober Recovery History of Alcoholics Anonymous](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1018096612) — 4.70 / 5 - [12 Step Recovery Workshops](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1090761413) — 4.80 / 5 - [Cocaine Anonymous CA Speakers](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1089812654) — 4.80 / 5 - [Odomtology AA 12-Step Recovery Audio Companion](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1236617824) — 4.80 / 5 - [xa-speakers](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1666600486) — 3.00 / 5 - [Drop the Rock AA Workshops](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1089812658) — 4.80 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id468149167)
