### 2/5 — Needs updated

*2024-02-27, version 2.12.1*

Love the studies and the plan. Needs routine updates for bug removal. I purchased the current plan and the app says owned in the store. However, there is not any content showing including previous purchases. I did delete the app and download again as well. Still no content despite showing owned. Going to request a refund and find a more reliable study plan

### 5/5 — Love love love this app

*2023-09-07, version 2.12.1*

I wonder if you can add social media links to share a days commentary to gain attention to this app

### 5/5 — In Jesus' name, please update this App!

*2023-03-20, version 2.12.1*

These are the best Bible Study lessons I've found but the app is broken. I understand technology might not be your calling, but it is the platform GOD gave you to spread His Word. I pray that you update the app so GOD can continue to bless us through you by His Word. GOD Bless You All!

### 1/5 — No scriptures

*2021-01-02, version 2.12.1*

This quarter’s lessons did not download the scriptures.  This app has never worked correctly.  It is very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-02-25, version 2.12.0*

Paid for daily reading download today and saw them once, now unable to restore. Complete rip off!!

### 1/5 — App problem

*2019-06-12, version 2.10*

Please fix the app. I have to delete and reload it every day.

### 2/5 — Previous Features Removed

*2019-05-28, version 2.10*

What happened to the ability to Highlight text?  Also, what happened to the ability to copy lines.  Please bring these features back!
Are these Reviews passed on to the publisher and app developers?  Does anyone care, including Apple App Store?
PLEASE RESPOND!  Thanks.

### 3/5 — Devotional Terrific.  App horrible

*2019-03-01, version 2.10*

Everyday I delete the app and reinstall it in order to get my readings.  I do it because I love the devotionals.  Of course, my favorites are erased.  Can’t you fix this??? I can see I’m not the only one having problems.  And I can’t find who to contact.

### 1/5 — Where is the winter 2018 data

*2018-12-10, version 2.6.3*

I am still waiting for the winter 2018 data. I have tried everything. Called tech support they did not know about the app. 

It was a very neat app but a wast of time.

### 3/5 — No updates for Winter 2018 / Spring 2019

*2018-12-06, version 2.6.3*

I use this app everyday and the content is great but there are often technical glitches especially when new updates should come on stream....I can live with this but what is so frustrating is that there is no email address given anywhere to report technical problems with the app....For example I haven’t had access to the current readings now since the last readings finished on the 25th November 2018 and it’s now 6th December 2018...I’m just waiting / hoping (dare I say praying) everyday that the problem will be noticed and fixed....
1/ Why can’t the new content be added in good time before the old expires?
2/ Can you please add an email contact for reporting problems with the app both here in the App Store and within the app itself
3/ The daily bible verse references aren’t opening the bible text for at least 6-months I have been reading them from another bible app.
