### 3/5 — Stopped working

*2026-02-09, version 1.2.9*

I was really enjoying this app and then recently it completely stopped working. Every time I open the app it just just stays in a page loading screen and never opens the app. Hopefully this can be fixed soon on IOS?

### 4/5 — Great app, just one small issue

*2026-01-31, version 1.2.9*

I love this idea behind this app. Having a music based devotional is such a great idea and a powerful way for the words of the devotional to come alive!

The only issue I have is with the design of the app itself, not the content. For iPhones, it’s very difficult to adjust the mini player at the bottom of the screen. If I try to grab the scrubber and go back in the devotional (instead of using the 10 sec button), my phone thinks I’m trying to access the App Switcher. Please move the mini player higher up on the screen so we can stop accidentally grabbing the whole app. Thanks!

### 5/5 — What an awesome gift from God Almighty

*2025-11-19, version 1.2.9*

My wife and I love everything about the Shane and Shane daily devotional.  We have not missed a day since we found this a couple of months ago. But, with the latest update of the app, we can no longer enlarge the font on the songs and our eyesight needs a little bigger font. But that is minor in the big scheme of things. You all make my joy full every morning.

### 5/5 — Enjoying this!

*2025-10-15, version 1.2.9*

I enjoy this…both the “regular” devotional (with music) and especially the Shane&Shane “pilot” (I am a paid subscriber—well worth it). BUT, is it possible to move the “Join our new devotional pilot” window so that both the Shane&Shane Devo and the other are accessible without closing and reopening the app?

### 1/5 — App Won’t open

*2025-08-20, version 1.2.9*

I’ve tried everything to get this app to open this morning. I’ve uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Turned off my phone restarted my phone downloaded the app again. But it will not open. Not on my iPad or my iPhone.

### 4/5 — One Suggestion

*2025-06-04, version 1.2.9*

Very good devotional app. I like it’s format and simplicity. 

I’d suggest a Back and Forward feature to enjoy days missed.

### 5/5 — Love!!!

*2025-03-25, version 1.2.9*

“May The Word of God dwell richly in you” 
This daily devotional is always so life giving!! As some one not particularly musically inclined I love their message to praise God with your God-given voice! Very thankful for all the people who make this devotional happen every day!!! I hope this blesses you as much as it’s blessed me:)

### 3/5 — Devotional repeats

*2025-03-16, version 1.2.9*

I originally enjoyed this app, I liked having it on my phone so it was easy to integrate into my daily routine. Unfortunately after only 2 months I’ve encountered repeat devotionals at least 3 times. Not sure if this is intentional, but it’s not what I’m looking for.

### 4/5 — Latest Update Has Glitches

*2024-10-26, version 1.2.7*

Really like this app. I get overwhelmed by other apps that have so. much. information. When other apps have calendars, weeks long plans, etc., I find it ends up stressing me out if I miss one or a few. I always feel behind and then I just don’t bother trying to catch up within those other apps.

In this app, I love that this is one a day. It is what it is. It’s a solid amount of time (about 15 minutes) for me as I prep for a day before littles wake up. I can listen to the song, or not. I can read it, or not. The versatility is how to access the information is nj e.

All that being said, the latest update no longer allows it to keep playing in the background if the screen goes dark. Also, I can no longer select the ‘Read Devotional’ option, as it doesn’t appear the button is mobile friendly? I can scroll and see it on my phone screen, but the scroll doesn’t stay down for me to select the button, if that makes sense.

I tried doing another update, but the same issues still seem to be there. If these could get fixed, then everything would be back on track with this great app!

### 1/5 — Update needs a fix

*2024-10-18, version 1.2.5*

Looks great but the audio player stops playing if your screen auto shuts off.
