Upper Daily Devotional
vince@ysleta

Opened up the App and it locked sideways on my IPad. Tried other ways to unlock but to no avail. I would appreciate a correction so I can use it.

Very Good Digital Adaptation of an Excellent Devotional
Earthsun

The Upper Room has been an important devotional for three generations of my family. I appreciate being able to view the both as it appears in the printed version, the text only version that is easy on my older eyes and the links to Bible passages and references. Thank you!

Great App but...
acsued

Really great app. But something happened to the text & background. Very hard to read. Text size OK. But the text is extremely light. Please fix! Otherwise, I really like the app & look forward to reading it everyday.

Bugs
Texaslonghornsheep

I'm not sure why I daily have to re-down load my booklet. It takes spongy about a minutes but it is a hassle. Why can this app act like an e-reader keeping booklet down loaded and keeping my place for each day. It's a Hassle having to flip Thursday many pages trying to find the day I left off. I had The UpperRoom for almost20 yrs and decided. I wanted to go electronic but now I wished I'd never down loaded the app. Please fix the bugs or give better instructions on how to get around he inconvenience. Bh

Great devotional but app needs work
Alabama Lamb

Having read the print version of the UR for years I thought it would be convenient to have an e-version on my phone so I downloaded the app. It was nice to have a link to the Bible verse for the day via the on- page hyperlink without going to my Bible or a Bible app. However, that feature, as well as all other linked content, stopped working suddenly, possibly due to the latest iOS update. Also, as others have noted, the entries are not dated in the index view and you must open the pages and scroll through to find today's date. The bookmark feature does not work and it doesn't open where you left off. Finally, the app must be accessed via the magazine app and is not directly accessible from the home screen. I will go back to the print version when this subscription expires.

Difficult to use!
Pastor Nat

If this is a DAILY devotion, the app should remember / go directly to today instead of the cover! Every other book / reading app can remember where you were last reading when re-opening the app! Also, how are the bookmarks accessed later? Would it be so hard to add in the referenced scriptures? Could you give us the ability highlight at least?

Love UR - hate this app
Dr.KLP

This app is very difficult to use. Don't bother. Read it online or grab a print copy. I'm trying to figure out how to cancel so I don't have to pay for it again.

Pretty good; could use some improvement
cruisindavid

Like other reviews, I say it would be nice to have the app remember the last devotional read, so when it comes up for another reading, you don't have to start from scratch and scroll to try and locate the current day. A calendar or "jump to" feature would be terrific. Why aren't they addressing these issues and making improvements? Another problem I'm having with the app is that if I can't get on-line through Wi-Fi or cellular, then it's not possible to use the hyperlink to the Bible verse that is to be read. I have versions of the Bible on my iPad and iPhone, but it's rather inconvenient to switch apps to read them, then return to this app for the reason stated above. It would seem simple to embed the small amount of Bible text into the downloaded version of the Upper Room rather than depending on the Internet to provide it.
