Anon Press

Finally a searchable Original Manuscript and the original stories written by AAs before the gurus and the Big Book itself. These stories describe what AAs really did. Great stuff and well done.

Alcoholics Anonymous

I have wasted 6.00. I downloaded this book and I expected it to turn pages like other books but it does not it deosnt even have page numbers and it is all one huge page. There is no break in the pages. Save your money it is awful.

Very Satisfied

This is a great app, full text, original manuscript, definitions, and word index!

Has Potential, But.....

This app needs a search function for the dictionary and index. e.g. In order to look up a word starting with the letter "w" you have to scroll and scroll and scroll endlessly to get to that letter. Ridiculous! And, in the text section, you cant just jump right to a page. Again, you must scroll and scroll. Fix these things, PLEASE, and Ill give it 5 stars.

Best Big Book for iPhone

Outstanding content and design! Essential for me.

Best BB app so far

Well laid-out. I join the request to be able to flick pages, but it really isnt bothersome to scroll if youre familiar with the text. It NEEDS to be modified to allow adjustable font-size, and allow for scree rotation! Otherwise great. With those changes its worth the $5.00 price. As is its a little overpriced. Thanks for the app tho its appreciated and useful!

Would give it 5 stars but...

I would really appreciate a 12 and 12. If you added that to an update that would make it worth all the money and the full 5 stars. Amazing app otherwise!

Not much better than this

Big Book information at its finest. Easy to use and easy to read. It does not get much better than this. I can locate the part of the book that I thought was there, in the right place, with the exact words that I had mixed up. If you are like me, you understand what I said, above. I am greatfull to have this app. I have also purchased many workbooks for many people from this wonderful company. I use this information everywhere I go. I am sure you will to.

Excellent Companion

I especially like being able to bookmark certain passages of the big book. I would hope at some point to have a 12x12 in an electronic format as well.

Great

If you have an iPad and or iPhone this is a great app to have, it may save you and you can help someone in need with having the information you need on a device you carry with you all the time anyway. Thank God for A A!

Great recovery tool

I love that this app has ALL the Big Book stories and the initial draft the founders wrote. Tappable random quote is priceless.

Bigger text

I love it! Only one thing I would love to make the text bigger I have old eyes.

Highway robbery! Dont pay $6 dollars for this!

I can understand someone trying to make a buck, but trying to do so with something that was given to us for free, ESPECIALLY when there are lots of better apps FOR FREE, seems incredible to me! There are apps that are MUCH MORE complete, and some of them have BEAUTIFUL Sobriety Calculators! No one who does this can call himself sober! I saw this app was no good before I bought it, and I did it with the only purpose of being able to warn you not to buy! I could not leave a review if I didnt buy it.

Font

I would like to see font control that would self adjust to screen when selected.

Portrait Mode

It would have been nice if we were told that it only works in portrait mode. It does not turn for Landscape reading. I would also like it to work more like e-Books with automatically scaling fonts.

AA big book

I really like this App . The ability to go to a specific page instantly and the look up features are great.

Terrible app

Cannot resize text, so hard to read!!!!! Do not waste your money. Buy the directly from the real AA online!

The app suits my purpose.

The book only takes up 6.7 megabytes (MB) on my ipod, so I still have plenty of space for songs. It contains the first 164 pages, the foreward to 1st edition, the Drs Opinion, and Spiritual Experience. It has stories from the 1st and 2nd edition, the original manuscript, a subject index, some dictionary definitions, and text comparisons. In addition, it has a sobriety counter. I do not believe the size of the font changes, but I find it accepable to read. It does not replace having a real book, but it is great to have on the road, and I am going to try it out in meetings.

Disappointed.

Cannot use In a meeting because chapters dont match and page search came up empty.

Hands down best AA big book app!

This is a remarkable fully featured AA Big Book app. Entirely keyword searchable. It compares the first edition to recent version. it shows both page and paragraph as it would be in the hardbackitteration. Has a built in personal daily sobriety checker. Contains stories from past and present editions, of those who have personally found a solution from their alcoholism following the suggestions written in the first 164 pages of the AA basic text and as depicted in this app. For $6 it is a no brainer.
