Essential

Excellent app for enthusiasts and devotion.

Wonderful!

I found this by mistake. But it’s no mistake. Its simple and wonderful. And I can use it all day long as I carry my phone around. But most of all, such a wonderful reflection upon The Lord every morning. Thank you.

Settings not working.

I not able to adjusts the settings. I would like to change versions, font size and add Proverbs. I can't seem to find help anywhere. This app is easily worth five stars if it is functioning properly.

Dividing up Psalm 119

I love this app - until I reach the day for Psalm 119. So, I made a table dividing the chapter into 30 parts - 6 verses per day. That way I read the 5 daily psalms + a small dose of the big one. What a blessing to look forward to meditating each day on a small part of such a great Psalm. It would be nice to have this incorporated into the app itself. Thanks for a great app!

JUST what I needed

I have tried in vain to institute praying with the psalms as suggested by Donald Whitney’s book. The small obstacle of having to do the math had often discouraged me. So glad I decided to see if someone had created a way to easily find these five psalms every day! Thank you, Bryant!

Add a favorites feature

I am enjoying the app so far, I only wish there was a heart or star so we can mark our favorite psalm to go back to later and possibly a highlight feature to highlight a favorite verse.

PS 119

I thought that would be for the 31 of any month? 🤷🏼‍♂️ that’s in two more days.

Response from developer

Thank you for using the Five Psalms app! I'm not sure if you were reporting a bug or not? Based on the date of your review (October 29) and your comment, I'm guessing that you were surprised that Psalm 119 showed up on October 29 instead of on October 31? If so, that's the expected behavior, because Five Psalms always shows you the psalm corresponding to today's date, then + 30, + 30, +30, +30. So on the 29th of the month, you should see Psalms 29, 59, 89, 119, 149. If you've configured your Day 31 Behavior in the Settings page to show Psalm 119 on the 31st day, then you will also see Psalm 119 on October 31. So you can potentially see that same psalm twice a month. Again, this is how I designed the app to work, so it is not a bug. I hope that addresses your concern! If not, I'd appreciate if you could provide more information if you've found a bug or have a feature request. Thank you and God bless!

Great interface, really helpful

I was encouraged a few years ago when Dr. Whitney first introduced me to praying the Psalms, and this app is the absolute best way to facilitate that discipline. Lots of great options and attention to detail. Highly recommended!

Great App

I had been using the Five Psalms method of praying since reading Don Whitney’s book and was delighted to find the app. Since I’m a person of few words, praying scripture is really helpful. Good job Bryant. I hope you use your skills to develop more.

Practical bliss.

I started using this program for slightly more than a year now. Mostly reading through 5+1 in early morning, occasionally using my Bible app to read it for me. I noticed change in my prayers and my Scripture readings. My “language “ started to change. I grow more biblical in my way of thinking, reasoning and talking. Thank you Heavenly Father for Bryant’s fine work!
