Leave a Review Jesus Calling Devotional
Please bring back the old version, the update is horrible!
Before the update, I would have given this 5 stars. The layout was beautiful/inviting and I looked forward to opening my app each day. Now with the new update the daily devotions looks like a work e-mail and the app is extremely inconvenient to navigate. I would have never purchased this app if this was the original layout/format. Please bring back the old layout. You have numerous valued customers saying the same thing. There is a consistent theme-please bring back the old version. I miss it and the peace it brought to my morning routine. I unfortunately don’t even use the app anymore and have pulled out my physical book copy instead but miss the convenience of having it on my phone. Please listen to the feedback and bring back the old version prior to the most recent update.Show lesskim22kim22kim22
Content is great new format is a disaster
I have used Jesus Calling for many years. I absolutely loved the way it was. It was easy to use and read. The new format makes it harder to read and use. I gave it 3 stars. I would have given the older version 5. Had this been the format when I first started using I would have deleted the app. I would give this newer version a 1 star. The light background with the weird font is horrendous and hard to read. I’ve almost given up reading this devotional because of the easier to read version which is an absolute falsehood. To me you all destroyed a perfectly good app with disaster. To me it is a deterrent. I beg you please return my beloved app back!Show lessWeary librarian
New version
I love this devotional. I’ve been reading for over 8 years. Some years back I moved to the app. Most recent updates removed the background, and you can’t highlight text to share. I copied text that touched my heart to my journal. I also have Jesus Always and the app no longer keeps your place in each, only the last one viewed. So I have to scroll all the way through the year to get to the day of the second devotional. I will say I am pleased with the links to the Bible. Please make it as enjoyable as it was…Show lessDi Carpenter
Upgrades = Less User Friendly
I have been repeatedly disappointed over the 6+ years when I’ve done an upgrade to this app. The lack of being able to interact with the text to define words is a recent example. I also miss being able to copy and paste the text to share the Gospel. Everyone isn’t going to purchase the app but as Christians (like Sarah Young), the intention is to draw others to a relationship with Christ by personalizing the message in the Bible. It’s a disappointment that sharing this blessing requires me to pitch a sale for the publisher. I am still blessed by it, but not being able to share takes away a bit of my joy. Please share this feedback with the publisher. Thank you.Show lessSassisol
Give me the old jesus calling devotional
I have given probably 200 Jesus Calling books to our wounded warriors, police officers and people that God leads me to that need Jesus. I have purchased apps for people and now with the update, it messes the entire premise of what Jesus calling app is susppose to do. You have gone commercial with the app and that is why you get 2 stars. We need one app for the devotional that we buy and have it come up on the day that we want to read it. I pray for direction on which devotional that I lead my group. Probably over 100 daily readers from our precious military and now I have gotten feedback that the app doesnt work. Please go back and make it non commercial. We know you have all of these books but we dont care. If we are led to buy them then great but dont force us to go through the hoops of a newsletter and daily words that we are not interested in. I want the day9today devotional to come up when I press on the jesus calling app. Blessings to youShow lessrusbird

Thank you for your review. The latest update to the app has a button right at the top to take you to today's reading.Update doesn't feel like an upgrade at all
Sadly, I haven’t found anything in the new update that I like better than what was there before. I have had the app for many years and use it daily as well as several copies of the book that I have shared as gifts and for our own personal use. The features are not as easy to navigate, and by making it impossible to copy and paste you’ve made it more inaccessible. There are many situations and people that are not trying to “steal” “the content but have no other option to get it. I understand capitalism but is this book not meant to reach the masses? I ask for you to consider your mission and the possibility that the God that this book speaks of is able to make all blessings abound to you when you’re doing His will. God bless youShow lessmajor aggravations

Thank you for your review. I've given the developers a note with your feedback. We appreciate your patience as we work to make the Jesus Calling App more approachable for everyone.Please restore to previous format!
One of the first things I do each day is read Jesus Calling. Ever since the change in format I am sad each day as I try and rekindle the excitement I used to feel each day on reading this daily devotional.
Previously it was in the same layout as the book do Jesus Calling. Why change that? It’s just not the same now to read this message each day.Show lessanniemyree
This is absolutely terrible!!
What a shock to open this “new improved” version of the app!! PLEASE....put it back to what it was! I can’t even give it 1 star but am forced to do so or I can’t send.Not-1-Star
Love the words-Not the App anymore
Not a fan of the latest update.
Also disappointed in the Audio portion that was updated, it would be nice if we had a option the listen to the “Music” In the background while scripture is being read. I find it very distracting.i'll try to get used to it
Very unhappy with update
I have read Jesus Calling over and over each year since it was first available. I have copied and pasted the devotional and sent to my son for last couple of years.. I always sent it to him in the morning when I read it.. He commented how he looked forward to starting his day with my text.. your update doesn’t allow that for us anymore. Your update has take away something very special between my son and me. I can’t help but think it is an act of greediness on your part…wanting people to purchase that app rather than being thrilled someone is benefiting from the devotional… I paid for it and I should be able to share it.. I have been taken screen shots of it but it takes 2 to get in all in.. just a hassle and not the same…I’m thinking about just cancelling the app and finding a new source to text my son.. this has been very upsetting to me and changed the way I have always felt about Jesus Calling…to be honest I’m sure He isn’t happy you have made this change either…from talking to other people about it I’m not the only one that feels this way!Show lessjdbyrdie
