First 5

Transform your time with God using the First 5 app, developed by Proverbs 31 Ministries. We believe in giving the Lord our firsts! So it only makes sense for us to give Him our first thoughts of each day. First 5 was specifically designed to wake you up with a short teaching in God’s Word first, before you get distracted by social media and everything else screaming for your attention. It will equip you to better study and know the Word of God.

I couldn’t read the Bible until my friend recommended this app and now I look forward to reading everyday and it’s been absolutely amazing. I love it so much.


Absolutely love this app

Praying for the developers and content writers. Thank you for this gift!!


Great content and easy to use format, but too long for my hectic days.
Aimer125

I love the content, easy to use format and beautiful visuals. However, the daily devotional are too long for me. I prefer the short and to the point devotional like Jesus Calling, that are short and sweet, but get a powerful message across. Then I can spend my time in prayer and listening to God, instead of spending the entire time reading. I wish there were different options for lengthy and short devotional for different needs.


Wishing for a podcast for weekly teaching!

I can’t find anywhere to leave a suggestion regarding the first 5 app. I’m wondering if there would ever be a consideration to creating a podcast for the weekend content? I have a hard time remembering go in and listen in a different app but would 100% listen if it dropped into my podcast feed! Review wise I love the app and the devotionals. It is a great touchstone to start your day with. The study on Leviticus was my favorite so far and I’ve never enjoyed reading that book before!


App closes when I click on plan
Mazzystar80

Every time I try clicking on a plan that I have decided to read, the app closes. I tried to delete and re-install, but it keeps doing the same thing. Maybe it's a bug ?


Best way to start my day with God's word!
Rls1958

I use this app every day but Sunday, but that is how it is set up. I attend church on Sunday. It is how I start my day, up early to spend alone time in God's word. I like the variety, with different writers and the accuracy with a team of researchers going over what we read to be sure it is reflecting God's word. I love this app so much I just started a small group study in the app with some local women. We are studying Proverbs and I just had to share with others. Thank you for the creativity and insight. Thank you for sharing it with us.


Great Content.... Functionality?
KarlCam

Content wise the application provides excellent information. However, there are no settings available for fonts or night reading mode. It’ll be great to be able to adjust font to the likes of the reader and switch from day reading (light) to night (dark) theme mode. If these could be added I’ll definitely give you 5 stars. I know the goal of this app is first 5, our first 5 minutes of our day, but what about the last 5 minutes too? Thanks


Best devotional app.
zmontera

It’s a great app. I just wish it specified in the description that it’s only for women. It’s one of the best devotional apps I’ve ever used I just wish they had a version for guys or made a section for guys within the app.


My favorite app!
Poetyk

This app is a hub for rich teaching, community, study and so much more. I've been a member of the Proverbs 31/First 5 community and using the app since the day it was released. It has made spending time in God's Word enjoyable and fulfilling. The app has great features. I highly recommend it.


Love this app!

I have recommended this app to so many people. It is excellent. Full of insight, Biblical wisdom and encouragement, while still being challenging. Truly wonderful!
