User Reviews

Overall, reviewers applaud AA 4th Step for its Big Book–driven structure, clear prompts, and private, portable workflow that helps complete the Step 4 and export for the 5th Step. It’s repeatedly praised as easy to use, organized, and effective for staying on track. However, multiple users report serious downsides: crashes and data loss when printing, portrait-only orientation on iPad, weak help resources, PDF/export formatting glitches, and small text that’s hard to read. Despite bugs, many still find it a valuable recovery aid with potential for improvement.

Pros

Follows the Big Book’s approach and provides a structured, step-by-step format for the 4th step.
Easy to use with a clear, intuitive interface; prompts keep you focused and organized.
Helps users complete the 4th step efficiently, reduces procrastination, and supports privacy by keeping entries private until shared.
Exportable/printable for the 5th Step, useful for sharing with a sponsor.
Concentrates on essential content and encourages consistency across daily inventories; feels reliable and purposeful.

Cons

Crashes during printing and can delete entered text, causing data loss.
App is portrait-only on iPad, making landscape use and keyboard typing difficult.
Help section and overall usability can be frustrating for some users.
PDF/export can misalign or misrepresent the column data (formatting glitches).
Small or hard-to-read text for seniors; accessibility/readability issues.

I used this app to complete my first 4th step. I then used the inventory I created on the app to do my 5th step with my friend/sponsor. The app works well for what it is. It’s a simple tool to help accomplish the work the Bjg Book tells us to do. If I can offer any advice it is don’t put off your 4th step. Get it done and find someone like the Big Book says to do your 5th. I know it is scary but I promise it’s totally worth it!!!! It works if you work it ;)

This is one of the most worthless apps. After a paragraph is complete or even several paragraphs. They are all instantly deleted and it’s blank. The app crashes every single time I go to print. I have yet to be able to use this app successfully.
