Chief keef
Can’t keep me sober buddy
Are you using ai now???
There seems to be some weird banning spree throughout this app. Nearly everyone I’ve met through this app has gotten banned recently, when they have no reason to. I’ve gotten banned so many times I’ve lost count. It’s gotten go the point that I feel like you guys are using ai. It’s taking away the community aspect of this app, which means absolutely everything to so many people using it, including myself.
Wish I could provide zero stars
App charged me but I’ve never had access to premium. Zero way to contact them. Apple is reporting the app.
Do yall just ban people for fun?
I can't use this to fix my mental health if you ban me and everyone I know. Was an amazing app at first and met some of my best friends there, but it's practically unusable when it comes to the community feature now.
Depressing
This app sucks. No real insight, nothing but people complaining about how they can’t get through the day, but no real help offered (unless you want to pay for their counseling services). I found it to be not just uninspiring, but a complete waste of time and money.
My data disappeared!!!
I would hope you’re able to recover my Sobriety date. Seven months.
Stole $30
I never agreed to any charges, yet this app charged my account $30. I thought it was just a free app to track sobriety.. Shady business guys.. shame on you.
this app isnt what you want
this app use to be free! why you gotta pay now 👎🏽
useless
has a similar interface to the “clock” or “notes” app, except with far less options. there is, however, the option to pay a monthly fee to mark a time on the clock. let me remind u every free feature is already in ur phone by default. this app has no use
Ok
Mid

I hate it
Waay too intrusive
If you’re looking for an app, that will help you keep track of how many days you have sober you’re better off just asking Google if you know what your sobriety date is, but if you’re looking for an app, that is way too intrusive and collects way too much data and tracks when you ask it not to track and look no further. If you’re having thoughts or want to pick up, go to a meeting call somebody. This app just keeps trying to press you to pay for a subscription.

My review
Eh, the only thing its useful for is the calendar thingy, and how you keep track of staying clean n stuff. I dont agree with the payments, and its overall mid.
Not Free! $10 a month
I searched for “free” sobriety trackers. I Am Sober popped up as number one. After you enter all your data then you’re hit a a yearly or monthly fee. False advertising.
Be careful
I chose 30 days for $4.99 and then $99 yearly subscription. I decided that a lot of the information this app uses is already out there. I own books therefore I decided to cancel my subscription. But I now can’t use after less than 24hrs. I may have decided it was useful. They have $5 and I can’t use, maybe money is their main motivation? This is despicable!
..
I tried it but i still couldn’t stop self harm im doing…
Paying is unfair
I like this app but I want to log more urges but I have to pay. Just shows that people really only care about money. :/
