The Best Time!

Thoughtful questions follow a brief, focused biblical reference that stays with me throughout the day. Habit-forming!

App not working

Please fix the app! It hasn’t changed the retreat in a month. I love this app but please fix it.

Not changing

I can’t get my app to change. It’s been stuck on the same reflection for day. Removing it and reinstalling hasn’t helped.

App not updating with new daily retreat in the last couple of weeks

I so enjoy the app and use it every morning during my time of prayer and reflection.

I suspect it might be a technical glitch. I deleted the app and reloaded but same reflection on the commandments as before.

There was however a weird change of graphics from beautiful pictures to no pictures now just a space of colour. I must say don’t like the splash of colour. Paul
