### 2/5 — Content fine.  App designed by an old man.

*2018-05-02*

What’s the deal with Southern Baptists and media technology?  This app is clunky and has overt navigation-design flaws.  The search function works not at all.  Certainly the content is worth while.  But one wonders why Baptist Press even bothered with this app; reading via web browser would be easier.

### 4/5 — Some minor changes would help

*2017-03-18*

After downloading the app, I find that instead of going straight to the news I want it brings me to a choice between Spanish or English. It would be nice to be able to set a default for preferred language. 

Other than that it is a pretty clean app with a Bible (the SBC's favorite, HCSB). I don't think I'll use the Bible in the app since I have youversion, Logos, ESV app and Olive Tree.  Those, for me, are more useful.

It also has a media section and and info section which leads to contact information.
