The people running this app discriminate against others. You'd think with this being prayer focused, that it's also faith focused on God's standards and character. But that's not the case. This isn't about providing everyone community, just those they deem deserving of community. I was singled out because I ended an unhealthy relationship with one of the Altar co-founder's friends! Which never should have played a role in whether l could get involved in this community! God is about unity within the body of Christ, not division! Yet, this is run by people very much acting like they are in high school and mistreating people because of a relationship fall out... Especially if some altar members that are close to the leadership team, don't like or want to be connected to other altar members due to a relationship ending! It's just very juvenile, petty, immature, and not of God. Altar Social shouldn't be treated as an exclusive club but an inclusive community for those that need/ want community and for people who want to pray with others! Because prayer is powerful and even more so when two or more are gathered! But the people running this are not acting Christlike nor is their fruit reflecting the character of God! It's just another faith community claiming to be Christlike but instead representing the complete opposite! People should not be praying for others when acting like this within the body of Christ! People that intentionally hurt others like this are not reflecting the hands and feet of Jesus! ### 5/5 — Obsessed *2026-06-27* I have been a part of the Altar app now for a little over a month and I am absolutely obsessed. It is like a feed of just positivity and encouragement and hardship and what’s so cool is that at any given point in time of your day you can either a pray for someone and for their need, share a victory, share success, celebrate wins from all over the world, and also intern when you’re going through something there’s a place a community of people who are there to lift you and hold you up and surround you with the angel armies and it is just so incredible. Every one should be on Alter **Developer response:** So glad you're loving it. This is exactly why we created Altar, to encourage and bring people together around real life situations. Thank you for this feedback! ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2026-06-26* This app is so needed and helps bring discipline to my prayer life! I whole heartedly believe in the power of prayer and can’t wait to see the good this app brings to the world! ### 5/5 — Every Life Needs an Altar! *2026-06-26* This app has been a game changer in my prayer life, and even more than that! If you want prayer to become a habit, this is a safe space to get prayer and learn to pray! Or share your gift and pray for the nations!!! A hopeful, peaceful place to land in this chaotic world!! 🙏🌎💙 **Developer response:** Wonderful! We're so glad you're seeing it make a difference in your life. Thank you for this feedback! ### 5/5 — Life changing! *2026-06-09* This is such an amazing platform for anyone who loves Jesus and craves godly community and connection. **Developer response:** Love this! We’ll continue to improve the platform so things will only get better from here. Most important is giving God the space to work ❤️ ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2026-05-07* What a brilliant app! Sharing with my small group so we can have a place to share prayer requests together and be part of a larger community doing the same. 5 stars! **Developer response:** This is wonderful to see! Being in small groups ourselves we’ll continue to improve these features and seek to deepen connection and partnership in prayer. So great to see God’s family using Altar! ### 5/5 — Social Media that’s life-giving *2026-04-27* My faith walk has grown thanks to Altar, prayers have been tracked and answered and I’ve had folks pray for me and my family around the world. Ephesians 6:18 - And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. **Developer response:** This is so encouraging to read. Exactly the intended purpose, to be building each other up in prayer in the name of Jesus! ### 5/5 — Changed my prayer life! *2026-04-24* This app makes praying easier to track and keeps you accountable when you tell someone you will be praying for them! Love it so much! Thank you Altar! **Developer response:** Have you tried leaving voice notes for other’s prayer requests yet? Thanks for the review. We’ve got a huge backlog of updates yet to come but most importantly we seek to glorify God and have this be a place for connection and prayer in His name. Thank you for your support! ### 5/5 — Pray together *2026-04-24* Love this app bc it connects us in prayer for one another. Pass it on. **Developer response:** Thank you and yes!
