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? ### 2/5 — Where have they gone? *2025-03-08, version 2.0.12* What’s happened to my readings from previous years? I did not want to lose them? ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2025-03-02, version 2.0.7* 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 ### 3/5 — How to I restore the previous prior to the latest update *2025-02-28, version 2.0.7* 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. ### 2/5 — Content is great but the app itself has become really poor *2025-02-24, version 1.3.17* 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. ### 4/5 — Good Bible reading notes *2025-02-22, version 1.3.17* 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. ### 3/5 — Buggy software *2025-02-22, version 1.3.17* 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. ### 2/5 — Maybe paper is better *2025-02-06, version 1.3.17* The notes are good but the App is frustratingly unreliable. ### 4/5 — App doesn’t update with readings *2025-01-14, version 1.3.17* The app has stopped updating with readings, even though I paid for a new subscription, but it seemed to restore when I deleted and reinstalled it. ### 4/5 — Great, but suddenly stopped working *2024-12-23, version 1.3.17* I was enjoying this app, but it suddenly stopped working about 6 weeks ago, and now keeps saying it’s on the final reading (today is 23rd December and it’s only showing up to 17th November). It also keeps saying I need to update my subscription, but I’m on the monthly plan and it billed me this morning. When it did work, I found it easy to use and the readings were always good. Hopefully they fix the bug soon! ### 4/5 — Great resource, bug fixed now *2024-11-07, version 1.3.16* I love these bible readings but the app wasn’t working for a while and the new readings didn’t load up after subscription renewal. This seems to be fixed now. Thanks! The readings are great. ### 2/5 — Still not working *2024-10-29, version 1.3.16* Now the 29th October 2024 and no readings loading past 14 th please fix this! ### 2/5 — Still not working *2024-10-15* Despite beginning to work again yesterday it has stopped working again and also appears to have gone back in time with the readings…. Please fix this or I will have to stop my subscription. ### 2/5 — Not working *2024-10-10, version 1.3.15* My readings are stuck on September 30th despite having updated and reinstalled app. My subscriptions are also up to date. ### 3/5 — At last! *2024-10-09, version 1.3.15* Problem finally fixed with today’s update. Shame it took so long 😕 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Has stopped working! *2026-03-30, version 2.0.16* No content has loaded for today, 30 March. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Big bug *2025-02-05, version 1.3.17* 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! ### 1/5 — Problems with Subscription *2025-01-30, version 1.3.17* 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. ### 1/5 — Need to keep reloading *2024-12-27, version 1.3.17* Having renewed my subscription and taken out an annual one, every few weeks I get a message saying I’ve reached the end of my subscription. The only solution I have found is to delete the app and then reload it. Then today the app is just showing bible verses. I’m now giving up on this app and will find another. Very annoying as I’ve paid for an annual subscription. ### 1/5 — App not working since 11th October *2024-10-28, version 1.3.16* My Daily Bread App hasn’t worked since 11th October. I have emailed to try & sort but nobody seems to find an answer, not a very good service at all as my subscription has automatically paid for another year 😟😟 ### 1/5 — Missing this app *2024-10-06* I’ve started my day with these readings for years and now it won’t work. I did the requested update but it got stuck on the same b Pop up saying wait five minutes fetching data. I tried everything I could think of and reinstalled the app. Not it says last day on September 30 I have access to past reading but nothing new Please help ! ### 1/5 — App no longer working *2024-10-05, version 1.3.13* I paid for and only received 20 readings (September) then a message came up to update app, which I did and received a new msg “This is the last reading”. Very unhappy. ### 1/5 — Was great *2024-10-04, version 1.3.12* This was a great app but now doesn’t work. I’ve tried several times to update the app following the instructions given it it still doesn’t work. I’ve even tried uninstalling and reinstalling but still no joy. This needs to be fixed. I’m paying for a subscription that I can’t use. Not a happy customer! ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-04-24, version 1.3.10* Will only show me 9th June 2019 which is not what the free version is supposed to show. This is clearly not enough to decide whether I want to pay for this or not, and I’m worried that if I paid I’d still only get this one day! ### 1/5 — App stopped working *2023-01-03, version 1.3.10* The app stopped working on 31 December 2022 but subscription is not due until 3rd July 2023. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Much better! *2025-07-03, version 2.0.14* 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! ### 5/5 — Much Improved Bible engagement *2025-07-03, version 2.0.14* 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. ### 5/5 — Fantastic overhaul *2025-07-03, version 2.0.14* 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! ### 5/5 — Love the Bible and this app helps a lot *2025-06-19, version 2.0.13* 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. ### 5/5 — Great app from Scripture Union *2025-06-19, version 2.0.13* Love the new look app, really easy to use, great reading guide and helpful commentary, using it daily! ### 5/5 — New and improved *2025-04-06, version 2.0.12* What a fantastic redesign to what has always been fabulous material - so much better ### 5/5 — Nice app *2025-03-09, version 2.0.12* 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. ### 5/5 — Love the content, but... *2025-02-08, version 1.3.17* In spite of up to date payments I stops working and I have to delete the app and reload it. ### 5/5 — Have been a regular *2025-02-03, version 1.3.17* 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. ### 5/5 — UPDATE *2024-10-10, version 1.3.15* The App is back up and working properly. It’s always been a great app. I start my day with this devotional. I love the commentary which is thought provoking and often healing. While the app did work, the team sent pDFs of the readings. Great support Great daily reading/ devotional bible app, best I’ve used Been with using since 2015 and renew yearly --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
