Nomo - Sobriety Clocks

I love this app, including every last one of the features (money saved, calories, badges, etc). It feels like it was made out of a place of genuine compassion and care. Every other app for sobriety costs a lot, and this app is free and has every feature I need to motivate myself. I love looking at it every day or two just to see all of the little impacts that sobriety has made on my life, which eventually snowball into huge impacts. But most of all, I love the message and story behind why this app was created. It’s a great and motivating community. Tomorrow I hit two weeks sober (I haven’t gone more than 2 days in years, until I started this app two weeks ago on the day I decided to stop drinking). I never thought it was possible, let alone that sobriety would become a GOOD feeling. Highly recommend it. Also, to the rude reviews complaining about the ONE time it gives you the option to donate and never asks again— you guys can go pay $7.99 a week for an app that does the exact same thing, or shut ya yaps. You must seriously have no problems in your life if you take the time to complain about something as minescule as that. I enjoyed reading the story behind the app’s creation, and it made me appreciate it even more.

Really lovely app. The strongest people in the world use this app, or that's how I feel when I see people reaching their sobriety milestones, be it 24hrs or many years. Some of the resources are helpful, some are just the same "try harder!" thing you get on a brochure from the doctor's office which is something I was hoping to avoid by using this app. But I am glad for what an authentic person wanting to help other people can do. I got a notification in the app to write a review, and I had one major thing to say, but you already fixed it! Thank you so much for adding in restrictive eating as a demon to stomp with a clock. It's just as destructive as binge eating and purging and just as unhealthy as junk food. It made me feel bad to see eating treated as an addictive behavior to overcome but not starving. Now that little thought has been banished! I am starting a restrictive eating clock right now. Thank you SO MUCH for listening to the community and for creating the community in the first place.

This app has been useful for tracking the number of days of sobriety with the clock feature. I also like that you can create clocks for anything, so I also have clocks for food addictions. The encouragement function is a great way to feel as if you're not in this alone, and the distraction feature has simple games to help you through a moment of weakness. What I've found to be lacking is the Accountability Partner function. I've done partner requests based on the app's suggestions and haven't gotten an approval from a potential partner. Perhaps the people that I sent a request to aren't active anymore, or maybe that function is not working. I emailed the developer about the partner function, as well as a suggestion for the app, and he did not respond. Apparently at one time he was very responsive to messages. Combine this with the fact that the app hasn't been updated since January 2017 and it makes one suspect that something has happened to him or he has abandoned the app. Nevertheless, I still find it a useful tool and I check my clocks daily as a reminder of the positive direction I am taking with my life.
