### 5/5 — An app with Compassion.

*2019-02-09, version 2.0.3*

With Compassion being a leading children’s charity with a relentless passion to act on our compassion and empower every child left vulnerable by poverty. This approach is focused and personal, and you now have even greater connection thanks to this great app, very easy to use.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2019-01-27, version 2.0.3*

First of all, the app is captivating. The layout and colours are engaging straight away. The way the different sections are broken down makes it so easy to follow each of our children’s profiles and keep up with our letter writing and sending gifts etc We also get to see newest pictures sooner! Absolutely love it!

### 5/5 — Great layout

*2019-01-21, version 2.0.2*

This is a brilliant app! The layout is very user friendly. An easy way to stay in touch with things regarding your sponsor child, such as sending letters, reading letters and prayer points. There are lots of little extras like bible verses and how to pray for your sponsor child right now and click on ‘I’ve prayed’ to let them know. This is one of my favourite app  layouts I’ve ever used! 
So many companies make an app to go with their website and it’s not great. This can’t be said for Compassion who have excelled themselves!

### 5/5 — Brilliant!!!

*2019-01-20, version 2.0.2*

Well done Compassion :)
This is very informative and easy to use. Its brilliant!

### 5/5 — Brilliant new app!

*2019-01-18, version 2.0.2*

Love this new app. So lovely to be able to read all our children’s details in one place and it’s a reminder to pray for them. It has lots of other details about their countries, the ongoing work of Compassion and also the dates of all letters to and from our sponsor children. Well done Compassion!

I love this app! So handy to have on my phone to be able to quickly write a letter or send a gift to my sponsor kids and to be able to keep up with Compassion news and updates! Looks great, easy to use! Well done Compassion UK on a great app!

### 1/5 — What’s gone wrong?

*2022-06-11, version 3.3.0*

Latest release for IOS and it seems to not work at all. Just the cover screen with no menus or anything. It wasn’t the easiest to use before with letters not showing or being updated on the app but now it’s completely gone. Hope it gets fixed but using the website is best for me

### 1/5 — iPad

*2022-02-23, version 3.0.2*

Seriously not able to use on an iPad yet. I think you should change this to enable it to be accessed by tablets

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2020-08-31, version 2.6.2*

I can see I have notifications, but when I click the app to open it and see, it freezes with the first image (child and logo in the middle). 

It’s been like this for the last few days...

### 1/5 — Matt

*2020-08-30, version 2.6.2*

i think your most recent update broke the app - it gets stuck on the opening image

### 1/5 — App won’t load, useless.

*2019-11-03, version 2.5.0*

Can’t get past opening picture, neither can my husband so not just my device which is the issue.

### 2/5 — The new update just keeps shutting

*2020-10-10, version 2.7.0*

Is another update coming to
Fix this?

### 3/5 — Good app

*2022-10-18, version 3.5.1*

The app is really good.
However, every time I try to send my child a letter, I get to the send letter part and it cuts out and sends me to my Home Screen so I can’t send them any more letters.

### 3/5 — Writing a letter crashes

*2022-03-21, version 3.0.2*

Love the new layout - however trying to write a birthday card or a short note from my phone (iOS 15.3.1) crashes the app!!! Donating via the app works fine but shame the app crashes when trying to send a letter - please fix thanks!

### 3/5 — Not for iPad

*2020-10-23, version 2.7.1*

It’s great to have an app but it is puzzling as to why it is not configured for tablet devices like iPads given their prevalence. In its current state I’ll be using the website.

### 4/5 — Update is crashing

*2020-10-11, version 2.7.0*

The app is fab but the new update is closing as soon as it opens, please have a look at the error

### 5/5 — Great App

*2021-01-27, version 2.8.0*

It’s so great that, at a touch of a button, you can access so much information about the child/ children you sponsor. Letters, project information, current weather and much more. I love it!

### 5/5 — Great way to connect with your sponsorship!

*2021-01-25, version 2.7.3*

I love this app, it’s a great way to connect with Compassion’s sponsorship and love how you can write to your child, pray for them and get updates from Compassion directly.

### 5/5 — Brilliant app

*2020-10-12, version 2.7.0*

Your version 2.7.0 crashes upon opening. I am unable to open the app to report this so I’m afraid it’s by review. 

Until this update the app has allowed me to write to my sponsored child and donate and navigate freely.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2019-08-01, version 2.4.2*

This is such a good app, everything at your fingertips, thank you

### 5/5 — Amazing!! Thank you so much!!!!!

*2019-08-01, version 2.4.2*

Thank you so much for creating this app. It makes interacting and writing to your sponsored child so easy. I’m able to see previous letters and get reminders for my sponsored child’s birthday. It’s absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much!!!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2019-07-03, version 2.4.1*

Just downloaded this today & love that it brings you closer to your sponsored child by giving extra info on their country & their project. 
Great idea Compassion UK I love it.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2019-06-09, version 2.4.0*

The app (and compassion’s system in general) is really easy to use. 
I’ve registered to use the app today and all my sponsorship info from the last four years have all be added into the app automatically. 

Amazing. Companies with access to more resources have lesser apps than this. 

The ease of use of this app has encouraged me to engage my sponsor child even more.

### 5/5 — Wow! Makes sponsorship even easier

*2019-06-07, version 2.3.0*

This App makes writing to my sponsored child so easy! I can even see details about where she’s living like the weather! This is fantastic thank you Compassion

### 5/5 — Best in class!

*2019-03-02, version 2.0.3*

Wonderful app which is easy and straightforward to navigate. The layouts are beautiful and allows you to be constantly aware of what’s happening with your sponsor kids. I wish every app was this great to use!

### 5/5 — Brilliant app!

*2019-02-13, version 2.0.3*

This app is such a brilliant idea! I love the layout and how it’s so easy to send a letter to my child and to read hers too.
Thank you!
