For those familiar with AA I don’t have to go into great detail why it’s immoral to charge money for this. Regardless of app improvement or functionality this is profiting off AA which is so beyond messed up. Not to mention it’s not even fully accurate, but that is a tough thing to keep up on in every area so that shouldn’t be judged too harshly. I also understand one is not allowed to accept donations through the app per apple rules but the loophole would be to link it to a website where one could easily use PayPal or other electronic payment methods. Until then the app developer(s) aren’t helping anybody in any AA fashion. I didn’t even realize it was a “trial” until I was looking for a meeting and got prompted with the need to pay to continue to use the meeting finder. And the thing that really made me angry and led me to review this is that the developer(s) had the audacity to try and guilt the user into purchasing this app by “thinking of the newcomer.” No, the developer(s) needs to think of the traditions and where they apply and either offer it for free, link a website donation page or shut it down. It’s not even a one time purchase.

I downloaded this because I’m a newcomer and I needed to find meetings near me. This app worked fine and I loved it, because the room finder was available and I used it very much. I open the app one day and it won’t show the rooms until I pay, the minimum monthly fee. Granted it’s only one dollar, but as a newly sober alcoholic, I’ve wrecked my credit therefore don’t even have a bank account, not to mention I’m barely scraping by to pay the rent for my halfway house. This app isn’t the only one, but I had to delete it because i didn’t expect it to charge alcoholics for help.

This app works decently— have had some problems with addresses being incorrect, it doesn’t say the length of the meetings, and when you have it show you directions it puts the GPS coordinates into the google maps app rather than the address. The main reason why I give this one star is that it goes against AA principles as it is a for-profit app. They usurp AA slogans and use them in the app, yet as they are for profit they are basically using AA to make a profit. Once my free trail is up I will certainly not be paying to line the pockets of these opportunistic developers.
