I use it because I’m new to a townhome community. It helps me with names but is very clumsy to use. Only improvement with update is the verse is there instead of the reference. The PrayerMate app is WAY better. At some point I may add neighbors I’ve met to that and delete this one. I wish it worked better, but… ### 1/5 — Location *2026-05-26, version 5.3.0+131* I entered my address but my Bless list are people who live an hour away. I can’t seem to fix it. My correct address is in my profile. ### 1/5 — Absolutely Horrible *2025-06-05, version 5.2.1+111* I own a IPhone, not sure of any software issue. Great concept & wonderful book. The app is completely useless for me however, it won’t let me create an account & every address I enter it says it needs to be a USA address. I entered friends & family’s address who’ve lived there my whole life (In Indiana) yet it’s not a US address.?? Highly excited pray for others, unfortunately let down. Very dissatisfied with the app!!! ### 4/5 — No Satellite Imagery *2025-02-25, version 5.1.0+87* This app is a useful tool, but adding satellite imagery would make it much easier to understand who each person is. ### 5/5 — Oh yeah *2025-02-09, version 5.1.0+87* I needed this app to help me keep up with my prayer every day and to keep me praying for people that i may not know. Thank you Bless App ### 4/5 — Schedule a time to be reminded *2025-01-27, version 5.1.0+87* I love this app. I would like to suggest that the app be updated for the time zone at midnight and that users could schedule when they get their reminders to pray. ### 5/5 — Love the app and have a couple of suggestions *2024-08-31, version 5.0.2* This is app is a great way to pray for the people who live closest to you. I have a couple of suggested features to add. 1) Increase the font size. Can barely read the daily prayer and names. Make it so people can adjust the size of the font to fit their eye sight. 2) “Gameify” the app. I’ve been using this app every day for a few months. Let people know what their current streak is, what their longest streak is, etc. Maybe have a leaderboard for everyone (and by friends and other categories) for streaks but also for each of the BLESS components. 3) Groups. Churches could start an initiative to have its members pray for the people that live within a certain radius of the church building (1 mile, two miles, or even the entire city, etc.). Church leaders could set up a group for members to join so that everyone would be praying for the same five people every day and determine the appropriate radius to focus on. I would love to continue praying for my neighbors but also get an additional set of five people to pray for with other people I go to church with. 4) Make it more social. Let people friend other people. Let people make posts, post pictures, etc. Just suggestions. Will continue using the app regardless. That’s for creating it. ### 5/5 — Love the app and have a couple of suggestions *2024-08-22* This is app is a great way to pray for the people who live closest to you.

Mark and avoid this app. ### 4/5 — Can No Longer See our church or my organizations progress *2024-05-16* Please return the web feature that allows us to see a churches progress and an organizations progress.
