### 5/5 — Great Improvements

*2026-04-17*

Love this app, the recent update has a nice design change and I can still access the content from Pastor Rick like before

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-06-22*

I am disappointed with the app. I can't listen to any day I want to. If I miss a day, it won't let me move on. I have to listen to the day I missed.  I can't leave that day missed. I have to listen to the day I missed.  I want to listen to the current day's devotion. Just a lack of control, no choice in what day I hear.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing this—we’re really grateful for your feedback. We understand how limiting that experience felt.

We’ve since released an update that allows you to access any day’s message, so you can engage at your own pace. Your input truly helped shape this improvement.

We’d love for you to check out the latest version and let us know what you think.

### 1/5 — Screen not showing in dark mode

*2025-06-17*

Prefer dark mode for reading due to eye color and issues. Please consider correcting this issue.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We understand how important dark mode is for comfortable reading.

We’re happy to share that dark mode is now available in the latest version of the app. We hope it makes your experience much more enjoyable, and we’d love to hear what you think!

### 3/5 — Update issue

*2025-05-26*

The app requires you to stay on the screen to listen.  It's not playing in the background like it use to. 

Please urgently review.

### 1/5 — Update is horrible

*2025-05-24*

This was the best app: I listened to it in the car, at the grocery store with airpods in, on break at work, and before bed. Now the app must remain open WITH the screen on to be listened to. I cannot listen to it and use my phone for other activities, or turn the screen off - both cause the app to stop playing the daily devotional.

Horrible update that has ruined the app.

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2025-04-06*

Love the app it teaches me so much. I have leaned so much about God and who he truly is. I love the examples that are given along with verse which give an even clearer understanding of what I’m reading and I can comprehend it even better. The only thing I wish is that I could heart certain devotions to be able to go back to ones that I want to read again instead of scrolling to find them.

### 5/5 — Living in faith, guided by joy!

*2025-02-08*

Rick’s message has deeply inspired me to love Jesus and live according to the path the Lord has intended for us. It serves as a guiding moral compass, yet following it is not a burden—it is a joyful choice. His uplifting and positive approach, infused with just the right amount of humor, makes his teachings both engaging and meaningful. I find great joy in sharing his message with others, knowing it has the power to encourage and uplift those who hear it.

### 3/5 — Difficult to Purchase

*2025-01-24*

Always difficult to purchase. Why don’t you allow gifts with a purchase?  Why do you retain credit card information?  I don’t like to use the same card and your site makes it so difficult to remove a card. SO DIFFICULT!

Pastor Rick:  Listen religiously. Love your content. Site needs work.

### 1/5 — Update issues.

*2025-01-24, version 3.0.5*

This app stops updating after a few weeks of use.

### 5/5 — So grateful Pastor Rick !

*2025-01-10*

Daily Hope App helps me know and love Jesus more everyday  ! User friendly and indeed it gives me hope ❤️God bless you Pastor Rick
