5/5My favorite daily reader
Dreading this book for years now. Never disappoints. It’s my favorite daily reader! The app is straight forward, I wish it had a little more functions, like creating your own multiple subfolders and saving certain days in them vs to just having one “favorite” bookmark option. Content 5 stars

4/5I love the daily readings, more features would be appreciated
I love checking out the readings daily. It definitely helps me keep mindful about how I frame my life in my mind. It’s easy to fall off the wagon of reading it daily. I would love it if it was possible to push a button and have it read out loud to me either by an author, another reader, or minimally Siri, Although she does not seem to understand what she’s reading. Sometimes it’s nice just to hear it and reflect on it. Also I find when I hear other people reading, it helps me view things in a new light.

5/5I don't start my day without Touchstones
It took me a while to start "book ending" as part of my 12-Step Recovery. I read Touchstones and three other Hazelden books every day! If my day isn't going great, I read them again! They help to shift my thinking about life and people.

5/5Awesome App for Recovery
I start every morning reading the daily reflection in this App. It helps ground me for the day and is helping me stay sober. I highly recommend adding this to your daily routine. Prayer, meditation, gratitude list, pages 86-88 and these passages. Then jump into a morning meeting! God bless.

5/5Impressed
This app is very important to my sobriety. Every morning when I wake up it is the first thing that I pick up. It is a pivotal part of my morning routine and it always seems to fit in the scheme of my day. Thanks for a great tool.
