Leave a Review Pray As You Go
Love app but can no longer get it to work on iPhone
Since Pray as you go updated the app, I have had significant problems and now even after downloading it and reloading it multiple times it gets stuck on the home screen, and I cannot move off the pray arrow into the app. Is anyone else having these types of issues or am I doing something wrong?andrzjo
Pretty but doesn’t work so well
I’ve followed with the pray as you go app for years, but this latest update hasn’t worked on my iPad Pro. It’s impossible to pause the daily devotion, and the other controls are not very responsive. All in all, it’s very hard to navigate among the options. Please fix this. It disrupts my prayers and makes me hesitate to use pray as you go.Show lessK. Lyn Wurth
Amazing content
I love PAYG and have recommended it to so many people but I really wish there was a way we could use the old app, which in my opinion was SO much better. This new one is clunky and has glitches and takes much longer to load. Sometimes the prayers drop all together. The content is the best I have ever found anywhere, but this new ( a couple of years old) app needs some work . Even with the issues I love this content so much I wouldn’t leave xxxShow lessAgentlouise
Mixed
I really love the content of this app and have been listening to it for at least a couple of years. However, since the latest “upgrade” I’ve had nothing but more frustration than previously with the app’s functioning.
It often won’t play that day’s devotion at all, or won’t go to the given day despite my selecting it on the calendar. Using it with Bluetooth in my car is a real gamble now, too. I’ve tried deleting and re-downloading the app a few times to no real benefit. If they could get the functioning straight, it’s awesome. Sad but true: the frustration sure does interfere with the app’s ( and my) purpose!Show lessgaffi001
App is frustrating
I am thankful for your daily devotional and look forward to listening every day. I would like to use your app, but find the new version very frustrating and difficult to use. I cannot download prayers to my phone. And often when I am listening via Wifi, the prayer just stops. Fortunately, I have found your podcast and listen there. I truly miss being able to use your beautiful app. Please fix it!Show lessMolesie
Many Paths Lead to God / We Have Options
Years ago, I found the Pray As You Go app and I dove right in to discover the thoughtfully-produced music, reading, and meditations format. It’s all wonderful and has inspired me to explore my faith and spiritual life more deeply. I love hearing the variety of beautiful British voices and especially love the more traditional music and ancient chants.
Also, years later, it must have been when I got a new phone—I simply went to the website to access the content because perhaps the app didn’t transfer over or something.
The website is very easy to use so I never downloaded the app again—not because I detected any problems, but because the website is so easy to use on a mobile phone. I thought to myself, why do the app, when it’s all here on the website?
Now, I’m reading the reviews and see that some of them address the app technology issues. I would suggest that if the app is troublesome, simply go to the website and (keep calm) and carry on using that platform instead. Man does not have to live on apps alone. 🙏Show lessSouthAfricaIsNotAmused
Nice but many bugs since redesign
It’s a great app overall. I’m grateful for the daily devotional. But since the redesign, it can be frustrating. Whenever I open the app, it’s very slow to load. I think I need to click on the button on the first screen to proceed. We shouldn’t be taking any action in order to get to the home screen. But maybe I’m misunderstanding the process and it just takes a long time to get to the home screen. Sometimes when I open the app, it loads yesterday’s date and I cannot get to today’s devotion, even when I open the calendar and select the current date. If I select today’s date, it will result in showing today’s date, but I can’t get the today’s devotion to play. The workaround is to shut down the app and reopen it. Then it works. Finally, the design isn’t user friendly. There are a lot of features, which is great, but the user experience can use some improvement. I’m a product manager and work with UX designers to build digital products. I don’t mean to sound picky. I’m just used working with a team to build out products that make sense to end users. It looks like y’all didn’t do enough user testing to work out all of the major bugs before releasing the latest design. I’m looking at your most recent reviews, I’m not alone in the frustration. Thanks for listening!Show lessjmac670
June 2022 update
The major June 2022 update has wiped the collection of prayers I’ve downloaded over the years. I wish that I could get them back. I only remember the date of one, and I cannot figure out how to download that one with new interface. It is October now. The updated app is as unstable as it was on release. The prayers stop and the app crashes, sometimes many times during a prayer. It auto starts on the day after the current date and the only way to get today’s prayer is to start the previous day, then start today’s. What a disappointment. My wife and I have listened to Pray A You Go since it was web based. This is one of the most important apps in the world. Please fix it. If you need money to repair the app send out a special request at the beginning of the prayers. There are many, myself included, who, would happily support the repair of this app.Show lesskb123
New version is terrible
I have used Pray-as- you -go for many years. I have always loved it and during COVID, it was even more helpful to ease anxiety and stress. I love the music, the format, the reflections. BUT this recent version is a terrible disappointment! Even with updates, it often cuts out 1/2 way through and I must restart. Because of the the time zone differences, it advances to the following day before EST day is over and unlike the previous version, it doesn’t seem to easily toggle back to the previous day. I have to go back several days and then to the previous day. When traveling, I could download an entire week and listen, but this version requires really strong WiFi to load and listen. I’m so disappointed as I have come to really rely on this app to start my day from a Christ centered and thoughtful place. I really wish they could return to the previous version.Show lessThistlesameli
New app is beautiful but not helpful
Like many other reviewers, I’ve used Pray As You Go for years and have loved it, but am finding this new app supremely frustrating. Please put back in an ability to go directly to the calendar from the opening screen and a clear and obvious way to download any prayer on any day from it. The old design was much more user-friendly, and this change feels like a case of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” Sorry to complain, but please hear our frustration.Show lessLJCDunc
