### 1/5 — Do not get

*2026-07-02*

Love the word and want to spend time in it, but you can not download this app. When I tried the feature to open an app that was blocked it didn’t have scripture but had something written in what I assume is Thai, Laotian,  or Vietnamese. Do not get.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for trying our app and for taking the time to leave your feedback.

We're very sorry about the language issue you encountered. This was a bug, and we've fixed it in version 1.0.8 . The blocked app screen should now display the correct Scripture in your selected language.

We'd really appreciate it if you could update to the latest version and give it another try. If the issue has been resolved, we'd be incredibly grateful if you would consider updating your review. Your rating and feedback are truly important to our small team and help us continue improving the app.

If you have any other issues, please email pdm01011@gmail.com so we can fix the application for the best results.

Thank you again for your support, and God bless!
