Sober 32 years. The availability of this app is great. Thank you AA W.S. ! Ive had a couple probs - loading time & crashes. Called the NY office to share & ALL were related to my phone, not the app. Space & phone memory. Once I installed SD card, no problems. Discouraging reading the few criticisms. Then I remembered: probably from alcoholics w/"contempt prior to investigation". If I were sponsoring them, Id suggest they get some gratitude for this 100% FREE app designed & made by volunteers.

Not a bad app. I'm new to the whole apps application thing and have issues learning how any of them work. So I ask for forgiveness if I make a lot of mistakes. But so far as I'm learning it appears that this is going to be a very helpful and informative approach to help me to obtain certain goals in my life. I thank God that apps like this exist for the simple reason that it's not always easy to find other individuals who relate to certain situations in our lives. One day at a time. God bless...

Awesome! I can open this app at anytime and see multiple meetings available right away or upcoming. My city has several groups that utilize this app. And I can see the reading for the day if I just need inspiration or if I arrive late or am just lost in my thoughts. It really helped me as someone that couldn't track when/where meetings were and didn't like having to get lost on the Internet trying to find out. Good luck ☕

My husband is in AA and I'm in Al-Anon(for those affected by another's addiction). I really wish AA had an app like Al-Anon Family Groups, where there's a timeline feed(like Facebook, for sharing things we like or might find inspirational) and in-app/online meetings straight from the app/your phone. It would be convenient for those of us who live rurally and can't find meetings nearby. The Al-Anon app has helped me tremendously and I wish my husband had something like it for his journey.

It's very handy but does not update. If you want access to all meetings it is necessary to install it then reinstall it from time to time. Hopefully this will some day be corrected

Sure beats the old days, calling all the different Central offices for the different types of groups and meetings available. Keeping up with the different phone list and meeting schedule. And much better than the yellow pages.

THE UI ON THIS APP MAKES ME WANT TO DRINK! love feeling alone and struggling to get the darn app to even search in the right area. Don't download if you actually need support.

It has the meetings, but the addresses can not be copied to the clipboard, and there is no map integration isn't implemented. This is a real inconvenience.

It is useful sometimes, but since the pandemic started, a year and a half ago, it has been a roll of the dice as to whether the meetings actually exist or not. So many times I have driven to a location only to find there is no meeting. I had this problem in metro Atlanta and now in metro Nashville.They aren't being updated. Also, many times there is no information as to where inside the building, church, etc. to go. No contact info to verify either.

Not as good as the central office guide online or in print guide.. But as always, it's more convenient to just tap and look. Depends on what you seek..It's hard to prove to app fans that the old way is more thorough. I handle 2 central offices.. Volunteers aren't always reliable.. But a hard copy physical meeting guide is just cooler..

I had this app on my phone for years.I accidentally deleted it deleting some old files and when I reinstalled it it cannot find locationthe location it just spins and spins and spins. Nothing has changed on my phone as far as the location permissions the app just is not loading correctly. I have Wi-Fi and I have data it's not either of those issues.

I couldn't sleep, so I decided to look into this app, I had heard about it in group.. It is AMAZING! It is free, in either iOS or Android software. Downloads quickly. It tells you meeting locations across Indy and in the suburbs; East side, West side, North side, etc. I saw meetings for Saturday that are from 6am to 10:30pm! You can "like" meetings so that it saves the ones you select for future reference or memory. It gives you directions through Google maps. It's great! 😁

Overall this app has been very helpful. Its search options have improved. I think a few recent negative reviews are because of confusion how to change preferred settings. For example if you want to search for meeting in a town you are not in, change "current location" to city of choice after tapping search (the location is below the search bar at least it is on Android app v3.0.28). To see week list instead of 1 day change filter to Any Day, then you can scroll thru whole week.

Great meeting app. Simple, effective, uncomplicated. Would be that much better if it also includes NA meetings. Should be relatively simple to add. It's just another dataset. Also AA and NA are both technically meetings. This app is called 'Meeting' Guide. Just a thought. Please add both type of meetings in one easy to navigate format. It could be as simple as using a filter or toggle option to move back and forth between desired meetings types. Thanks
