If you need guidance on reading the Bible, this app is for you!

I had been praying for guidance on how to read and understand the Bible better and then I came across this app. I KNEW it was God’s answer to that prayer! I absolutely LOVE this app. It’s easy to use and it puts the Word in modern day situations. I’ve already sent the app to several friends and will continue to share it’s goodness with as many people as I can!!!


Recent Bug?

Frosty830~

The app used to work wonderfully but now every time I listen to a weekend teaching the audio pauses every minute or so. I see others having this issue as well.


It will not play in the background.

When my screen goes to sleep to save power, it will turn off. All my audio will keep playing in the background. This doesn’t and I keep having to power on the screen for it to play. Love everything else about the app just this annoying thing that makes me give up on listening to the audio.


Not easy to use for a quiet morning

Tapper Jan

I thought this app used to be a quick devotion for my quiet morning, just like the name implies, but it doesn’t fill that function at all. I have tried to use it a couple times, but clearly it’s intent is not the first five minutes of my day. I do NOT want to LISTEN to the devotion. My house is quiet and the last thing I want to do is hear someone talking. I’m not going to run around and find a pair of headphones. These days making a video or a recording is the easy way to go... no writing required, and the devotion writer can blather on all they want without editing, and I’m forced to listen to all of it. If I click on the option to read the transcript, it is more than 5 minutes to read. I just wasted 15 minutes of my morning trying to find a setting to READ a devotion. There is no setting for this and there is no way to contact support either on app or website. This is a disappointment.


Love this app, but new glitches

Mooskoos

I use this app every morning. I love how it would track where I was and would offer to open the correct day’s reading for me. Now, the app doesn’t readily take my indication of having completed the day—it doesn’t register as completed, and causes the app to freeze. Every day it seems as though I’m deleting the app and relaunching it. I do it so much that it is one of the few apps that I know my password by heart. This glitch seems to have popped up after the problems started with the weekend video playback as noted by others.


10/10 Recommend

Favorite app in my phone! I love reading the Bible and having a thorough study over books and chapters. It’s so deep, so relatable, and it’s always something I always need to hear. A friend of mine uses this and she recommended it to me, and I have never regretted it. The lessons are so easy to understand and they are always based on what you read. 10/10 recommend-such an amazing app!


Excellent resource

I really am happy I found this app. So much great content and a way to connect to God not just for the first 5 minutes but anytime during the day . My only complaint is that the text is so small and there is no option for a bigger font, nor does the usually pinch and stretch iPhone trick for zoom in work. If there is any way you can fix this or add an audio version that would be fantastic!!


Best app

Love this app-haven’t missed a day in 2 years!! It has a devotion on Monday-Friday and audio or video to sum up the week on Saturday and a day off on Sunday. Can go in sync with the current study or go at your own pace and study any chapter you want.


This app isn’t good

Jaybird15167

It still has problems. I think it could be better 1. My mother is low vision and can’t read anything on the app because it is so bright. I wrote a more gracious review before. Suggesting a dark mode. I am a student who has to ride a bus from 6:20am to about 7:20 am. So a dark mode would be stellar. 2. I appreciate the fact you is big words. On the other hand I don’t know the meaning of all of them. Could you add a feature that gives me the definition of the word? It’s kinda a waste of time to search up the word. Most apps have this feature so I don’t think it will be much trouble. 3. The layout of this app is just bad. Just got a say. It’s difficult to maneuver. Reading is hard sometimes I do things I didn’t mean to. I think that you need to consider a different layout and it would be more effective. Please read all of this and consider everything. I like this app and use it almost everyday. I just want to see it improve.


Wonderful, uplifting and helpful

This is a fantastic resource for studying the Bible and connecting it to your life. It’s a short teaching and Bible reading that really digs into the meaning of the Bible passage and how it connects to our modern lives. It’s wonderful and so accessible! Download it now! You will love it!
