Leave a Review Jesus Calling Devotional
Change in format
I’ve had Jesus Calling on my phone since it came out. I LOVE this devotional and have been able to witness through “sharing” some of the daily devotions through the years!!! Thank you for this app!!!!😃 Three stars are due to the fact that we can no longer copy/paste and share on social media!! You get just a blurb when you share and then all of the “store” items. Makes me sad! The way Sarah Young wrote this with Jesus in first person makes it SO PERSONAL and easy to get the attention of unbelievers. Please please change it back. Blessings😇Show lessTompam1979
Hate the update
I loved this app until the update. Before, the daily pages were beautiful and looked just like the book. It was easy to mark my favorites and review them whenever I wanted. The new pages are BLAND! Everything is in black and white, no picture detail, etc. Now it’s easier to share??? Why in the world would anyone want to share it now? It’s awful. I really loved this app because of the look of it and the convenience of having it on my phone and I paid $10 for it! Please consider bringing back the old style. At this point, I’d like a refund of my $10 if this awful update is not addressed. Thank goodness I have the book - too bad someone made the decision to cheapen the look of this once great app☹️Show lessRN9448
Why???
I’ve shared your devotional for 9+ years… every. single. day. And I’ve ALWAYS given YOU credit. I have in my shortened keystrokes jcbs and it pops in as Jesus Calling by Sarah Young so I don’t have to type it daily.
Because of my sharing daily, I know of hundreds of people that have purchased your app and this devotional book for themselves and as gifts. I also purchase 10-20 at a time to gift as I feel directed.
Yesterday I allowed all my apps (which I NEVER do) to update. So… obviously, I will NOT be sharing your devotional anymore until you change the feature of copy and share. I’ve read all the recent reviews and I’m not the only one upset with your update. Why??? You had people sharing (and not getting paid to) for your benefit.Show lessPjoKill

“SEEK MY FACE” In the midst of turmoil, quietly shut out the noise and all distractions. Close your eyes, let Jesus’s Face fill your mind. The first time I did this, an image from my childhood, filled my body heart and soul. Immediately, my body stopped rocking, my shoulders relaxed at my side. Warmth and peacefulness flooded through me, Filling my mind,Heart and Soul. Now in the midst of turmoil, I can quickly return to a state of Grace, with this simple prayer, “Seek My Face”. The online version, is absolutely phenomenal. Much easier to read and learn the Bible in a way that is meaningful to you. No matter where you are, it’s as close as your phone, tablet or desktop. In the early morning hours, I like to Click on the JIC Icon, Hit Play and simply lay in the dark, and listen quietly to the soothing voice reading the days passage.🙏Show lessJenfont65!!

What an amazing image you've put in your review! Thank you so much for sharing your feelings so passionately with us!Latest update
I've had this app for over two years and loved it until the latest update. My mother used to say if it's not broke don't fix it why oh why did you make changes. The new format is hard to read and the dates from change correctly. Please please change it back. Don't do the updates if you can avoid them.
Requested update: sometimes I go to bed after midnight which is when I read your app. The new format doesn’t seem to allow me to pick a date in the past or future unless I’ve marked it as my favorite. Maybe I’m missing something ?Show lessDp1433lp2g

I am so glad to be able to have the app, as I was reading it in the book for many years, but this allows me to read it anywhere, as the mornings can be hectic sometimes..
Love to start my day with reading it before my prayer time.. thank you!!avide listener
My thought
I liked it better when I was able to copy and paste these beautiful words. Now I am unable to share. Before I would copy n share whether it be to Facebook,Instagram or directly and I know many that waited to see what I wrote. Many asked me where they could find and I would share the book by directing them to buy or buy the book for them. Sometimes when souls are wandering and searching for meaning getting a taste to feed their hungry souls is what is needed…. Sooner or later they finally figure out what satiates that hunger they search for. I have always called this my “Jesus horoscope” no matter when it always speaks to me for that day… it’s uncanny… but as I always have said… Jesus knows ❤️Show lessannoying to have a name

This is the VERY first thing I do every morning (after I grab my coffee) and it is the ONLY way I want to start my each and every day. There are so MANY messages that resonate with me and my daily situations and human frailties.
I would give FIVE stars, except there is no ability to highlight what I am reading on my iPad. I am constantly taking screen shots of poignant words and then highlighting that and saving for my files or photos.
I would be lost searching for a replacement if I did not have this in my life. I am so grateful.Show lessJetgoalie
Not a fan of changes in App!
Ican’t keep the text the size I want. Always goes b to bigger text. Have to change back every day. Frustrating. Can’t copy and paste portions of text to use in notes. So can’t share with others like I used to be able to. Now it sends a portion with advertising!!!! COME ON!! WHY do this!!? Also I used to be able to look up words by clicking on a word to look up meaning. That no longer works!!! The app was better before you messed with it. I use this daily. I have had this app for 10 years. Now it’s messed up. Please give up back the things that were helpful. So sad you changed these things!!!Show lessGAO 558
Enriching your beliefs!
I am so thankful for ALL of Sarah Young’s books.
They are great companions to walking with Christ in daily living and Bible studies as well. No matter what is happening in my life or the world, the words of the daily devotions so often seem written for the circumstances of the times—this is extremely comforting as well as reassuring.
I have given them as gifts and can’t wait for the next person who presents their need for such readings. I always keep a few copies of either “Calling”, “Always” and “Today” so that l can be timely in the gifting of the books.
I first became familiar with Ms. Young‘s work when in a restaurant, a lady approached us and asked if she could read to us from “today’s reading”. She said that she had overheard our conversation with a brother-in-law who was basically down and out.
We were taken back by her approach and she was told “no”. However, l had zeroed in on the title of Jesus Calling and l was down at the bookstore the next day for a copy of my own—l consider the money spent on these books as an investment not only in myself and family but to whomever l gift one of the copies!Show lessCalled by Jesus
