Recovrr App Instructions

Using Recovrr

A practical guide to finding meetings, connecting with other Recovrr members, managing your profile, and controlling your privacy and settings.

Recovrr App Instructions

Getting into Recovrr

Sign in, request an account, reset a password, or find the information available before you sign in.

Show screenshots for

Screenshots automatically follow your browser’s Light or Dark appearance. Nearby Discovery examples show iPhone screens, including when iPad is selected.

Getting Started

The first screens and the app-wide navigation model.

Getting started

Three useful places to begin

The Welcome screen is a short orientation for a new account. Its three choices take you to your profile, the meeting Map, or the Network area for finding other Recovrr members.

You can return to this screen later by choosing Get Started from About, or by tapping the large reversed-R Recovrr logo on the Home tab.

Recovrr Welcome screen
The Welcome screen links directly to the three core tasks.

Home

Your dashboard for nearby meetings, connection activity, and notifications.

Home

See what your connections are attending

Home is Recovrr’s dashboard after you sign in. When connections have indicated that they will attend meetings in the next couple of days, those people and meetings can appear in the Connections view.

Tap a person to open that member’s profile. If you have marked meetings that you attend, a My Next Meeting header may also appear.

Pull down on Home to refresh member information and current notifications. Refreshing preserves your choices to read or ignore notifications. If someone has unblocked you, this refresh can make their Profile available again; appearing in In Person also requires current discoverability and nearby range.

Home

Use the quick Nearby Meetings list

Nearby Meetings shows a time-ordered sample around your current location. It is not a complete list. Recovrr expands the search only until it finds enough meetings. The area may be small in a city and much larger in a rural area.

If Location Services are unavailable, Recovrr uses your last known location. Tap a meeting to open Meeting Details. Use the Map to explore a wider area.

Home

Watch the notification indicator

The bell in the Home header reflects your visible notifications. A filled bell with a badge means unread notifications; a filled bell without a badge means there are notifications but all are read; an outline bell means there are no visible notifications.

Tap the bell to switch directly to the Notifications tab.

Finding Meetings

Use the Map, weekday selector, meeting list, and destination search.

Map basics

Start with meetings near you

When you open the Map tab, Recovrr begins near your current location and expands the search until it has enough meetings to establish a useful map region. The visible meetings are then shown as markers.

You can pan or zoom the map at any time. After the map region changes, Recovrr searches the new visible area and updates the markers automatically.

Meeting list

View the meetings as a list

Tap the list button beside the weekday controls to see the meetings represented in the current map region. The list can be sorted by distance from your current location or by the next meeting start time.

Tap a meeting in the list to open its full Meeting Details screen. When you return, the list is restored.

Weekday selector

Show only the days you want

The weekday buttons at the top of the Map are toggles. Tap a day to include or exclude meetings that gather on that day. The map updates immediately.

Two useful shortcuts are deliberately less obvious: long-press a weekday to select that day by itself, and double-tap the weekday selector to toggle all days on or off.

Only Wednesday is selected.

Destination search

Find meetings somewhere else

Tap the magnifying-glass button to enter Destination Mode. Type a place, such as a city or town, and choose Go on the keyboard. Recovrr moves the map to that location and runs a new nearby-meetings search there.

Destination Mode temporarily replaces the weekday controls. All weekdays are enabled for the new search. You can dismiss Destination Mode without moving the map by tapping the magnifying-glass button again or tapping the map.

Meeting markers

Open a meeting from the map

A single-diamond marker represents one meeting. Tap it to display that meeting, then tap the meeting row to open Meeting Details.

Two overlapping diamonds indicate multiple meetings that are too close together to show separately at the current zoom level. Tap the marker to choose from the meetings in that location.

The Map list can also show nearby Recovrr members who have chosen to make their approximate location available.

Tap a member to open their profile.

Virtual Meetings

Find virtual NA meetings with We Are Never Alone, then open them directly in Recovrr.

Open in Recovrr

Hand the meeting directly to Recovrr

Open a meeting in We Are Never Alone and tap Open in Recovrr. If Recovrr is installed, We Are Never Alone uses a deep link containing the meeting identity to open Recovrr directly to that meeting’s Meeting Details screen.

The handoff works because the two apps use compatible BMLT meeting identifiers. The meeting identity is included in the deep link, so you do not need to search for the meeting again in Recovrr.

Tap Open in Recovrr in We Are Never Alone.

Shared meeting identity

Keep using the meeting in either app

Because the meeting identity is shared, the same virtual meeting can participate in app features that use meeting IDs. For example, a virtual meeting can be included in meeting-attendance information.

Recovrr remains the place for Recovrr-specific member relationships, privacy controls, and profile features; We Are Never Alone remains the specialized tool for finding virtual meetings.

The virtual meeting can also appear in meeting-attendance information.

Meeting data

Virtual-meeting listings can differ between services

Virtual NA meeting lists come from several independent sources. They may not contain the same meetings, and one source may be more current than another.

Recovrr gets its meeting data from BMLT. Independent NA service bodies and BMLT data maintainers manage the source records. Recovrr displays that information but cannot change the authoritative records.

We Are Never Alone uses compatible BMLT meeting identities, which allows a meeting selected there to be handed directly to Recovrr.

Meeting Details

Understand in-person, virtual, and hybrid meeting information.

Meeting details

Read the complete meeting information

The Meeting Details screen opens from Home, the Map, or a meeting listed in another member’s profile. It can show the meeting name and formats, start and end time, timezone, physical address, directions, connections who attend, your attendance choices, and a map.

Tap the meeting-name row to see formats and additional information. Tap the time row to add a repeating calendar event. Tap the address row to open directions in Apple Maps, or Google Maps if you have selected that preference.

Meeting types

Virtual and hybrid meetings

A pure virtual meeting replaces the physical-location elements with ways to join remotely. Depending on the information supplied by the meeting, Recovrr can offer a direct app link, a Web link, or telephone dial-in.

A hybrid meeting combines the in-person address and map with the virtual-connection controls. For pure virtual meetings, the main meeting time is shown in your current timezone; Recovrr can also show the meeting’s local time.

Formats

See formats and additional meeting information

Tap the meeting-name/formats row to open the formats panel. The panel shows the format codes and any additional information supplied with the meeting.

Format text is displayed as supplied by the meeting source, so it may be in another language and the codes can vary by region.

Meeting formats modal

Sharing

Print or share meeting details

Use the action button in the navigation bar to export a meeting. You can print a meeting summary or share the generated information through the system share interface.

The shared material can include a PDF representation and a link to the meeting.

Finding and Connecting With Members

Use Network to discover members and manage connection relationships.

Connections

Manage people you are connected with

The Network tab groups members by relationship. Connected contains full, reciprocal connections. Connections can share additional information such as meeting attendance and a phone number, if supplied.

Tap a row to open that member’s profile. Tap the relationship button at the trailing edge of a row to change the relationship—for example, disconnect or block the member.

Network tab showing connected members
Full connections in the Network tab.

Pending

Handle connection requests

Pending includes both requests you sent and requests another member sent to you. Requests received from another member are highlighted in magenta.

A received request can be accepted to create a full connection or blocked. A request you sent can be withdrawn.

Pending connection requests.

Blocked

Keep blocked members out of your normal lists

Blocking works in both directions. When you block another member, you can no longer see that member through Recovrr, and they can no longer see you. Blocked members do not appear in your normal searches, suggestions, or lists. The Blocked view is the one place where you can still see the members you have blocked.

Use the relationship control to unblock a member. Recovrr restores the appropriate relationship state based on what existed before the block.

Network Blocked list
Blocked members are isolated from the normal Network views.

Find Others

Discover suggested members

The Suggested view shows members in your general area who allow their location to be used for discovery and with whom you do not already have a relationship.

Tap a member to open their profile, or use the relationship button to send a connection request or block the member.

Suggested is different from In Person, which uses nearby devices instead of geographic member discovery.

Network Suggested members list
Suggested members in the general area.

Find Others · In Person

Find members who are close by

On supported devices, open Network → Find Others → In Person to find discoverable Recovrr members within about 5 meters (16 feet). This is separate from Suggested and the Map’s geographic member list.

  1. Both people should have Recovrr running. Keep the apps visible, keep Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on, and allow Nearby Interaction and Local Network access if asked.
  2. The person who wants to be found enables Always Allow Nearby Discovery in Settings, or Allow Nearby Discovery Once in My Profile.
  3. The person looking opens In Person. Their own discoverability can remain Off. Allow time for the list to update.
  4. Tap a member to open their Profile. The nearby information shows an approximate distance in your device’s measurement units.

Each row shows a display name, an avatar if supplied, and the current relationship. Members with pending requests and members you already connect with can appear too.

A member normally disappears when their discoverability is Off or they are no longer within nearby range. An active connection interaction can temporarily keep the row visible until it ends. Blocking removes the member.

iPhone example: In Person can include existing connections as well as members you have not connected with.

Send a request

Ask a nearby member to connect

Open the member’s Profile, choose Connect, then choose Connect in the relationship popover. This sends a normal connection request through Recovrr and also invites the nearby member to respond in the app.

The relationship control is also available from the icon at the right of a member’s row. A pending or connected relationship is shown with its corresponding icon.

Nearby detection happens directly between devices. Loading Profiles and changing relationships need internet access.

iPhone example: The relationship popover includes Connect when there is no current relationship.

Incoming nearby request

Choose how to respond

The recipient sees an in-app request with the sender’s display name, avatar and clean date if supplied, and approximate nearby distance when available.

  • Accept: confirm to complete the connection. The sender is notified, and the relationship updates.
  • View Profile: inspect the sender’s Profile before deciding. The nearby interaction stays active; return to the request from the Profile.
  • Reject: confirm to decline the immediate invitation. The sender is informed, but the request remains in Pending on both devices.
  • Block: confirm to block the member. They receive no block notification and you disappear from their normal lists.
  • Later: postpone the decision. The request stays in Pending. Dismissing the request sheet has the same effect.

iPhone example: The nearby request offers a choice to respond now, inspect the Profile, or decide later.

An interaction in progress

Review the Profile, then return to the request

Choose View Profile on the incoming request to learn more about the member. The Profile identifies the pending connection request and continues to show nearby distance when available.

Tap Review nearby connection request to reopen the request sheet and choose how to respond. The separate Nearby distance text is information, not a button.

Viewing the Profile does not end the interaction or use up One-Time discoverability. If the interaction ends while you are viewing it, use Pending or Notifications to respond to any request that remains.

iPhone example: Review nearby connection request returns you to the response choices while the interaction is active.

Confirm your choice

Accept, Reject, and Block ask for confirmation

After choosing Accept, Reject, or Block, check the confirmation before continuing. Cancel returns you to the request without applying that choice.

Reject declines this immediate invitation and leaves the request pending. Block prevents contact and does not tell the other member that you blocked them.

iPhone example: Reject explains that the connection request remains pending.

iPhone example: Block requires confirmation and does not notify the other member.

After the response

Check the updated relationship

Acceptance completes the connection, and the sender receives an acceptance message. Rejection tells the sender that the immediate invitation was declined and returns them to In Person; the request remains in Pending on both devices.

While the nearby interaction is active, the ordinary connection-request notification is held back. After Reject, Later, or an interruption, the still-pending request becomes available in Notifications so the recipient can respond later.

If the recipient used One-Time discoverability, it turns Off when the interaction ends. They then disappear from In Person. With Always enabled, they can remain listed while nearby.

iPhone example: The sender is told when the connection is accepted.

iPhone example: A nearby rejection leaves the request in Pending.

Nearby Discovery help

If a member does not appear

Check that the other person has discoverability enabled, both apps are visible, and the devices are close together. Keep Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on. In the iOS Settings app, check Recovrr’s Nearby Interaction and Local Network permissions if access was denied. Discovery can take a little time, and walls, obstructions, or interference can interrupt it.

Moving too far apart or leaving the app can end an interaction. If One-Time was being used for that interaction, it turns Off. Turn it on again for another attempt. If a request already reached the service, check Pending before sending another.

If a member has just unblocked you, pull down on Home to reload member information, then return to In Person. The other member must still be discoverable and within range. Follow any error message shown by Recovrr if a connection change could not be confirmed.

If the sender withdraws a pending request while the devices have an active nearby link, the recipient’s lists and badges can update quietly. There is no withdrawal alert. Otherwise, pull down on Home to refresh. Refreshing preserves choices to read or ignore notifications.

iPhone example: An interrupted nearby interaction can leave a request in Pending for later.

Profiles and Connections

View member information, communicate, and use relationship and safety controls.

Profiles

See what changes when you connect

These screens show the same member. Before a full connection, you generally see the avatar, display name, tagline, and clean date that the member has provided.

After you connect, chosen meeting attendance and phone or messaging controls may also appear. Email remains private. Recovrr can relay email without showing either member’s account address.

Connections

Change the relationship from a profile

The relationship button on another member’s profile provides the same relationship actions available in Network.

If you disconnect a full connection, connection-only information such as meeting attendance and phone/message controls is removed. Accepting a received request can make that information available.

Profile relationship popover

Communication

Send anonymized email

Tap the email button on another member’s profile to compose a message. Recovrr sends it from a Recovrr no-reply address instead of exposing your email address.

The recipient’s copy includes a Recovrr link that can bring them back to your profile, where they can send a response through the same mechanism.

Anonymized email composer
Email can be sent without exposing your address.

Clean date

Add an anniversary to your calendar

If a member has supplied a clean date, tapping it shows a clean-time summary. The calendar control next to the date lets you create an event for the member’s next anniversary.

A yearly anniversary can be created as a repeating annual event; shorter milestones are created as one-time events.

Safety controls

Report or block a member

Choose Report Profile when you need to report a concern or block a member. You can block without sending a report, or open the report form and send information to Recovrr administrators.

The report form can also block the member as part of the same action.

My Profile · Nearby Discovery

Be discoverable for one interaction

At the bottom of My Profile, turn on Allow Nearby Discovery Once to let nearby members find you for one connection interaction. Turn it off to stop being discoverable.

One-Time stays on while you are considering the request. It turns off after acceptance, rejection, blocking, Later, or interruption. Simply appearing in a list or having your Profile opened does not use it up. If it turns off while My Profile is visible, the checkbox and explanation update automatically.

This checkbox is hidden while Always Allow Nearby Discovery is enabled in Settings, and on devices that do not support Nearby Discovery. Tap the information button at the right of the row to open NEARBY DISCOVERY, which explains how the feature works.

Turn Always off in Settings if you want to use One-Time. The information button explains both options.

Settings

Set Recovrr preferences

Open Settings from the main menu. If Google Maps is installed, you can choose it instead of Apple Maps for meeting directions.

Hide My Location is on by default. When it is on, you do not appear in the Map’s geographic member list or other members’ Suggested lists. You can still be found in Network Search by display name. This setting does not control In Person; Nearby Discovery has its own checkbox.

Recovrr Settings screen
Recovrr’s in-app settings.

Settings · Nearby Discovery

Allow discovery whenever Recovrr is open

On supported devices, Always Allow Nearby Discovery appears below Use Google Maps, or at the top if that Maps option is unavailable. Tap the checkbox or its label to change it. On selects Always; Off stops discoverability. The explanation below changes with your choice.

Always allows nearby members to find you while Recovrr is open. It remains selected after a connection interaction until you turn it off. For a single interaction instead, turn Always off and use Allow Nearby Discovery Once in My Profile.

Discoverability starts Off and is a preference on this device. You can search In Person while your own discoverability is Off. Tap the information button at the right of the row to open the Nearby Discovery explanation.

Settings

Choose how Recovrr maintains your location

When Hide My Location is off, Update My Location Upon Login becomes available. If enabled, Recovrr updates the stored location to the device’s current GPS location when you log in.

If automatic updating is off, the location map becomes interactive. Tap it to open the location-setting map, then move the marker or tap the map to choose a location manually.

Member discovery

Be available as a local resource

NA is built on members helping one another. Turning off Hide My Location makes you available for location-based discovery, so other signed-in Recovrr members in your general area can find your profile and request a connection.

This can make you a local resource for someone looking for a meeting, trying to connect with the local fellowship, or simply seeking another member nearby.

Settings

Adjust Home behavior in iOS Settings

Recovrr also exposes several longer-term preferences in the iOS Settings app. You can hide the My Next Meeting header, force Home to open to Nearby Meetings, and change the Nearby Meetings density threshold.

The density setting controls how many meetings Recovrr tries to find before its expanding nearby search stops. Normal is the default; lower or higher choices reduce or increase the target.

Privacy and Anonymity

Your privacy choices in Recovrr: what you provide, what other members can see, how to change those choices, and how to delete your account.

Your identity

Choose how you identify yourself

Recovrr requires a valid email address for your account, but you do not have to use your legal or full name as your display name. Choose a display name appropriate for the level of anonymity you want.

If you use Sign in with Apple, Apple may initially offer your full name during account creation. Review that name before completing signup and change it there if you do not want it used. After your first login, you can change your Recovrr display name at any time by editing your profile.

Profile visibility

Know what other members can see

Only signed-in Recovrr members can use the member service. Your visible profile is limited, and most of its content is information you choose to provide. Some information is available only to connections.

InformationWho can see itYour control
Display nameOther Recovrr membersRequired, but it can be any appropriate display name. Change it in Edit Profile.
AvatarOther members viewing your profile; it may also appear as a thumbnail where appropriateOptional. Add, replace, or remove it.
TaglineOther Recovrr members viewing your profileOptional. Edit or clear it.
Clean dateOther Recovrr members viewing your profile, if you provide itOptional. Add, change, or remove it.
Phone numberMutual connections only, if you provide itOptional. Edit or remove it from your profile.
Meeting attendanceYour connections onlyYou decide whether to record yourself as attending a meeting next time or regularly.
Your relationship listPrivate to youConnections are established mutually; you can also change relationship state or block members where the app allows it.
Email addressNever displayed to other membersRequired for the account. Recovrr can relay member-to-member email without exposing the private addresses to either member.
Geographic member discoveryYour Profile may appear in geographic member lists when you allow it. The app does not display your geographic coordinates or position on a map.Hide My Location keeps you out of the Map’s geographic member list and Suggested. It does not prevent display-name Search or control In Person.
Nearby DiscoveryMembers using In Person may recognize your Profile and see an approximate distance between devices while you are discoverable.Off by default. Use Always in Settings or One-Time in My Profile on supported devices. These are local controls, independent of Hide My Location.
Precise personal locationNever exposed to other membersWhen location is used for member discovery, Recovrr deliberately makes the location less precise. Meeting addresses are different and may be precise so people can find meetings.

Location

Control location-based discovery

Providing a member location is optional. Geographic discovery uses a location deliberately made less precise. Turn on Hide My Location to stay out of the Map’s geographic member list and Suggested. Recovrr does not display another member’s geographic coordinates or position on a map.

Hiding your location does not hide your account from a display-name search. It also does not affect meeting locations: meeting addresses can be precise because members need them to find the meeting.

Nearby Discovery is separate. It works directly between nearby devices and can show approximate distance. Its discoverability setting stays on your device; it is not the geographic location-sharing setting. Profiles and connection changes still use the Recovrr service. For more detail about local exchanges and stored information, read the Nearby Discovery section of the App Privacy Policy.

Relationships and communication

Connections reveal only specific additional information

A connection is mutual: one member sends a request and the other accepts it. Your list of relationships is private. Connections can see information that is not available to other members, notably a phone number if you supplied one and meeting attendance that you chose to record.

Blocking is also reciprocal. If you block another member, neither of you can see the other through Recovrr. Recovrr retains enough information about the blocked relationship to enforce the block. You can manage and reverse your own blocks from the Blocked view.

Email remains private regardless of relationship. Recovrr’s email feature relays messages without revealing your account email address to the other member.

Account deletion

Delete your Recovrr account

Deleting the Recovrr app from your iPhone or iPad does not delete your account. Your account and server data remain until you delete the account itself.

To delete your account, open the main menu, choose Settings, scroll to the bottom, and choose Delete My Account. Recovrr asks you to confirm because deletion cannot be undone.

Account deletion permanently removes the account’s application data from the Recovrr server. Information outside the active Recovrr account database may not disappear immediately or may be controlled by another system—for example, messages already delivered to another person’s mailbox, information retained independently by Apple, ordinary server/security logs, backups that have not yet aged out, or records that must be retained for legitimate legal or security reasons. Those limited operational copies are not used to recreate an active deleted account.

Deleting the app may also leave login information in Apple’s keychain. Recovrr has a device-side history/login eraser for circumstances where locally stored login persistence must be removed.

Recovrr confirmation before permanently deleting an account
Account deletion requires an explicit, irreversible confirmation.

Your choices

Privacy controls you can change

You can change optional profile information, hide your member location, manage connections and blocks, add or remove a phone number, change meeting attendance, control iOS permissions, clear locally stored login information, and delete your account.

Some choices necessarily affect functionality. For example, hiding your member location prevents location-based member discovery.

Privacy policies

Read the detailed privacy policies

This section is the practical guide to your privacy choices in Recovrr. For the formal description of the information Recovrr uses, stores, protects, and deletes, see the Recovrr App Privacy Policy.

Recovrr does not sell member information, use it for advertising, provide it to data brokers, or operate the member service as a source of commercial behavioral profiles.

A request may also be rejected. Depending on the administrative response, you may receive an explanatory email or no further message.
