Almost perfect!

If this app has the ability to record audio, this would be perfect. Hope you can add that feature soon. I do love this app!

Response from developer

Hey! Thanks for the review - we haven’t had a request for audio before. Do you mind sending a message to us on the chat so I can ask more details? Tom

This is a really good app, and I will be sharing it with friends and family. I think this could be good for a lot of people.

I love the App! But…

This App is great. I love the unique features. I have found it very helpful in my time with the Lord. My one complaint is that twice now, I have spent 45 minutes writing in each prompt, and the entire devotion was deleted. It was honestly so disappointing and has made me rethink using the app as a whole. My time with the Lord is sacred and to not be able to trust an app to save information means it has no use to me. I’m not sure what causes the error, but if it happens a third time, I will move on to another app that is trustworthy to do what it is supposed to do.

Great App!

This app helped me a lot during the Feast of Tabernacles and keeping up with the sermons. Directions on how to use the app would have been helpful, however.

Absolutely love the app, auto verse stopped working

I absolutely love this app! It’s been great with my new church experience. The. Auto verse feature however recently stopped working and it won’t re-engage. I’m not sure how to fix it.
