Has stopped working!

No content has loaded for today, 30 March. Very disappointed.

Response from developer

Thank you for getting in touch and letting us know about the issue with the app — and I’m sorry for the inconvenience it caused. I’m happy to say that everything is now fixed. When you’re ready, a quick restart of the app will make sure the changes take effect.

Great content but slow App

It has improved since the first version but I preferred the old app because it was very stable. Quite often have to restart it. Also, would be nice to see more snippets about the authors because it really adds something to understand the background?

Much better!

I’d used the old version of this app before but while the content was good, I found it clunky and hard to use, and had pretty much given up. This update is really good. Simple to use and much cleaner. It makes reading the Bible each day a lot easier… and that’s never a bad thing. The SU content is always good, and the variety of writers keeps things fresh. Always makes me think!

Thank you for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear the updated app is simpler and cleaner, making daily Bible reading easier. It’s wonderful that the content and variety of writers continue to encourage reflection. We hope it keeps blessing your study and devotional time!

Much Improved Bible engagement

I am a SU staff member and I understand many users frustrations with the old apps. This major change has improved usability, added new functions, but still has the great content helping to engage with the word of God each day.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback Mark! We’re glad to hear the new app improves usability while keeping the rich content that helps users engage with God’s Word daily. Your perspective as SU staff is invaluable, and we hope it continues to be a blessing to all users.

Fantastic overhaul

I love the new look and feel of this app. Well done! Easy to use and I love the little daily streak feature. I’m using this daily now!

Response from developer

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re thrilled you’re enjoying the new look, ease of use, and daily streak feature. It’s wonderful to hear the app is now part of your daily routine. We hope it continues to bless your time in God’s Word!

Love the Bible and this app helps a lot

I have a vested interest as a member of Scripture Union staff. But I wasn’t involved in making this useful app. As well as adopting a simple but practical Bible study method with the Bible text and some helpful commentary plus clear presentation, the app encourages me to journal, which I want to become more consistent at doing.

Great app from Scripture Union

Love the new look app, really easy to use, great reading guide and helpful commentary, using it daily!

New and improved

What a fantastic redesign to what has always been fabulous material - so much better

Nice app

Simple, fresh design, bite size daily bible readings with guided reflections, providing really helpful structure to daily prayer, and without distracting adverts or lifestyle tips. It’s all about the scripture.

Where have they gone?

What’s happened to my readings from previous years? I did not want to lose them?

Disappointing

It is incredibly disappointing that the functionality of this updated version of the app is so poor. Since the update last week I don’t mind paying the $20 subscription to support the work, but I used to be able to search back through readings from 2024 without paying. Now I can’t even search as far back as January 2025.

I am seriously considering deleting the app and canceling my subscription

How to I restore the previous prior to the latest update

Hi team, love the app and have been using for many years. I am just hoping to restore the previous version prior to the most recent update two days ago. I prefer that. Thank you in advance. God bless.

Content is great but the app itself has become really poor

Forgive me, I have loved the app for years but it’s become so unreliable. I constantly have to delete and reload the app and then it reverts back to 20th September 2023. I’ve persevered knowing they’re working on a fix but I’m having to reload weekly now and have been doing so for a couple of months. I’m just not prepared to keep doing it nor paying for the frustration.

We’re very sorry for the ongoing frustration. The team has fixed the subscription and date issues in the latest update. We appreciate your patience and hope to restore a smooth experience for you.

Good Bible reading notes

I previously gave this 1 star as I couldn’t access my readings. I thought I’d list all my readings but I deleted the app and when I downloaded it again it downloaded the readings I had missed.
The devotions give a good insight into the Bible passage and what you can learn from it. Also it shows how you it can help you Christian life.

Response from developer

Thank you for updating your review Jennie! We’re glad the app restored your missed readings and that the devotions are helping you engage with Scripture and grow in your Christian life. We hope it continues to bless your daily study and reflection.

Buggy software

Keep having to uninstall and reinstall after paying for a 1 year subscription. They are working on a new version but in the interim it is very annoying.

Love the content, but...

In spite of up to date payments I stops working and I have to delete the app and reload it.

Maybe paper is better

The notes are good but the App is frustratingly unreliable.

Big bug

Bug stops yr subscription working. Only way around it is to delete app and reinstall weekly. As much as a love this app, this is a joke and has been the same for around a year. Beware!

Have been a regular

These have been really helpful over several years. Would be great to have the bible links for each reading. It’s also a shame at subscription renewal I have to delete and reload the app. Otherwise thanks so much for this daily resource.

Problems with Subscription

I love this app, and I have been using it for two years. However, every 3 to 4 days after renewing my yearly subscription, I receive a notification that my subscription has ended, even though I just renewed it. This forces me to uninstall the app, reinstall it, and download the lessons again. Please fix this issue.
