2 times I've written long journal entries and both times my information was deleted. If you get distracted and don't automatically save your entry it will lose everything. That is the most frustrating thing about this app. It is not a good feeling to pour out all of my heart and thoughts only for it to be gone in a blink of an eye. Smh
If you utilize the app as the tool it's meant to be, it can absolutely help. There's no one single thing that can get you through the disease, but using a combo that works for you can absolutely make a difference. Dive into the deep end head first and find a meeting near you!!
I tried another app which was good for locating meetings and you could email, call or text to reach someone. All good things. I really appreciate the daily Sober message which states the topic and also gives you homework. I'm new to recovery and have found that communicating with others in the forum attracts some really good support. Many other useful features, these are my favorites! Go in peace. I'm 6 months and counting and feeling great!
I highly recommend you download SoberTool. Reading the helpful messages on a daily basis helps me focus on the important things. The easy-to-use forum allows me to connect with others with similar experiences. I appreciate how frequently the app is updated. Iām glad my friends told me to download it. SoberTool is a great aid to help you avoid using.
I enjoy this app alot. The daily messages and ability to create messages are great i kime the fact that you can join meetings and such also the options it provides are a great part of recovery and help get me going in the morning also. The only diwnfall i have found is that sometimes when i click on a setting it will not load and keeps just foing back to the daily message bored instead of the notifications or the more option on the drop down menu
Such an helpful application for alcoholics and addicts who wants to recover and live there life without using .. my experience with this app is great to this day .. I'm taking help from this app for more than 18 months and counting.. for the people behind this application.. god bless you guys and more power to you. Thankyou so much..
I just starting using this app and so far I really see the benefits of using it daily. Only issue, I cannot sign up an account. When I get passed entering my e-mail the sign up page disappears and goes back to home page. I'd really love to be able to interact in the forum. Any help with this would be appreciated.
I really like this app. The features of being able to express yourself and get feedback from fellow addicts on the road to recovery is great! However, I can't access this feature. It tells me to log in and when I try it kicks me back to the main menu! I know I have an account. It is saved within my Google account! If I am able to login I will change my review!
I love the app, the messages. motivation and inspiration. I understand the need for ads, but having them at the top AND bottom of the pages is so distracting and the ones that FLASH? JUST TERRIBLE. Makes it extremely difficult to read the content š
I have fought with addiction for 18 years. After 3 years of active addiction, I got clean and stayed sober for 11 years only to relapse 4 years ago. Staying clean this time has been more difficult for me so in an effort to help myself, I began looking for a way to refocus on recovery whenever I needed it...24/7/365. This app has done that for me. It offers suport, encouragement & accountability.. It's been nothing short of my virtual sponsor! Thank you for creating an app that truly saves lives!
Ableist messages about "positive mindset". Like the analogy of the salt in the cup then the lake telling you to focus on the positive. If you've experienced many traumatic experiences over the course of your life, like many addicts have, this is ableist messaging. Also the interface is horrible, seems like an app built in the 80s
I think this app is a life changing experience and I have connected all my clients with sober tools. Com and they love it. I'm a Recovey coach specialist and I have helped 8 of my clients turned their lives around. Now they have a new lease on life . And they are so grateful for my input in ther lives . As far as I'm concerned that's The best feeling in the world. GLORIA.
This app is great! I love the messages everyday. The only downside is that it doesn't actually save the "favorite" messages. Super disappointed bc when I went to check, absolutely nothing was saved and I have no way of seeing what I thought I saved.
A great set of brief essays giving advice for the addict (to Anything) having cravings or other problems. Also has a great Sobriety Length indicator on the home screen. An valuable aid for any in recovery.
This app has become my constant companion during lockdown. I am finding that I am using it more and more often throughout the day (and sometimes night lol). I'd recommend SoberTool to anyone at any stage of their recovery.
Would REALLY go a long way/REALLY help is if at least a good 60% of the 'contributors' of 'aspects of authority' in the app (i.e. daily message/daily lesson (basically) but in many minds = quotes/lessons/insights that many of us take to heart & soul) but most of them can neither spell nor have the ability to apply any grammatical sense, which is just mind-boggling and disconcerting espec. if you want to help people & present a position of both professionalism & influence, then this NEEDS FIXED!
This is one of the best apps I have ever used. ā¤ I have over 36years in my journey and not very tech savvy. With this pandemic going on & "them" wanting us to isolate, I have relied on this app. Very š grateful. Thank U.
I'm only five days in, but I feel better about quitting than I have in a long time. The daily reminder and message is an amazing system that has kept me wanting to stay sober day after day. And the money I've saved being recorded is also incredibly enlightening.
I love this app.. Because everything is so thorough. It has the journal prompts which I love writing. I really hope every single person in recovery get to have this experience!
Decided to try this app for a while before rating it. At 1st it was great. Daily messages are nice & rewards are a good reminder of how far you've come. Now for why I'm not giving it 5 stars. When I click rewards the app crashes & have to reopen it. Also if I clear my app data the cash rewards amount goes back to zero. When I started I'd get a daily motivational rewards message for my completed days which was nice but it stops at 3 months, goes to weekly, then at 6 months stopped all together.
