Leave a Review She Reads Truth
Could be so much better after all this time
I really want to love this app more. I’ve been using it since university days and have been a monthly subscriber for the past couple years. But really the app has not visibly improved at all in all the years I’ve been using it. I love that they put so much effort in the studies and graphics but if you’re going to make an app you need to invest in the tech too. As many others stated, it glitches a lot. Common ones for me are: making you run through intro slides every time you open the app, erasing your progress in plans, highlighter not working, crashing. And then there are simple UX improvements that could have been considered sometime in the last five years at least. For example, when you finish one reading of a plan, instead of it taking you back to the plan page, you have to scroll back like 5 times. It would be so simple to put a final complete button that actions you back to home or plan. And there are so many opportunities for more robust tools, like highlights and notes. If you want one single bible app, this is not the one. You still need to balance it with something like YouVersion. The saving grace of the app is the content itself, but it would greatly improve with better functionality.Show lessprunebeans
Deteriorating user experience
I have used this app for years and never had an issue (hence my higher star rating) but the latest updates have made for a poor user experience. It is annoying to swipe 4 or 5 times through the intro on how to use the app each time I open it. Can you please put an X in the top corner so we at least have the option to close the tutorial immediately? Also, after swiping through the tedious instructions the Bible doesn’t actually work. Also, while I’m here - I didn’t love the pop up banners advertising Bible plan sales either. I understand you need to sell things to keep sustaining the development and maintenance of this app but it felt very cheap - like those pop up ads on free mobile games, which was quite unpleasant to experience during my daily quiet times.Show lesschelseahyc
Bugs in app
Unable to download the lock screens. It’s only giving me the option to airdrop them :(Kimberly Abreu
Getting worse?😔
I’ve overlooked the glitches for several years but now having to swipe through explanatory information every time you open the app isn’t going to work. Between this, the messaging system, other glitches in lacking readings for the day, or not getting a reading until the following day, I t’s getting to the point where it’s not worth the time to use. It’s such a great idea and service, I think people use it and love it and “deal” with the issues, but it’s less and less worth dealing with.
Everyone is better off using the website and moving app staff time and money to some other portion of the organization.Show lessmilsteph
Still frustrated with new app
I finally updated to the new app and now wish I didn’t. Yes, the graphics are gorgeous and the content continues to be beautiful, but the usability has suffered.
I can no longer read in landscape (horizontal) on the iPad. The app will not allow it.
There’s no easy way to get to the next day’s reading and/or it doesn’t sync and keep track of what is read. This means constantly scrolling down every day when the old version would take me directly to the new reading. If I click on today’s date to get the corresponding reading, it takes me to one I’ve already read. I’ve tried restarting both my devices, but the app still doesn’t properly track what I’ve read. Very disappointed.Show lesslshell17
Dark Mode Please
I love SRT and the app is pretty good, though it has some quirks. Most noticeable, I often am reading at night and I very much dislike that the screen is so white and bright! Sometimes it seems so bad, I’d just rather not use the app at all. I need a dark mode! It would make using the app much more pleasant and less harsh on my eyes. Thank you!
I would love if on the homepage, the app kept up with where I am in the study instead of the current day. If I’m behind, I have to do more swiping and clicking and futzing around than I think is necessary. It knows what I’ve read and where I’m at, why wouldn’t it suggest to me to start where I left off?
I also would appreciate an audio option for the scriptures.Show lessmoshep28
Please add audio option!
I love my subscription box and all of the books! The content of SRT is amazing and I love having a plan to know what to read every day and the accountability of staying on track. I don’t use the app that much though, but I would use it every day if there were an audio Bible option! I would love to listen to the day’s readings, which I could do in another Bible app for plans that are on one book of the Bible, but it is impossible to do with topical plans since the readings jump around so much. As a mom of 2 young children, being able to listen to the Bible allows me to engage more with Scripture, and I wish I could pair that with my SRT studies!Show lesskatiej720
Glitches all of the time
I’d love this app if it worked most of the time. Currently, it won’t even open. I don’t mind that the plans are paid but I have had some plans never open and crash every time I try. The plans are aesthetically pleasing however there are other Bible apps that won’t crash.shaylealynn
Girls…run DONT walk
This is so cute and amazing. As someone who was never in a true relationship with the Lord, this app has gotten me to understand so much that I could have never interpreted myself. I even bought the Ashe Reads Truth Bible and I’m so in love with it.sheisreadingtruth
It's okay but
It still needs work. I had written a review saying how I was having trouble with the daily reminder setting staying on and that it would work for that day but then I would have to keep on turning it back on the next day or so.
Now I'm noticing that with the Bible I have to keep on changing the translation from ESV to CSB everytime I switch to the Bible tab. I don't mind ESV version, in fact it's the translation I was using before I discovered the CSB translation when I bought the She Reads Bible back in January. That's also when I discovered She Reads Truth.
I like She Reads Truth but the app needs to be fixed. Right now I'm just using it for the study plans.Show lessbrithibodeaux
