### 5/5 — Aurelio Barreto

*2026-05-12, version 11.2.9*

I really look forward to this devotion daily!  Thank you for your faithfulness!  Praise God for HIS faithfulness!

### 3/5 — Not like before

*2026-03-16, version 11.2.9*

I lost my previous Daily Light app which was awesome! No ads; free. No clutter or odd layouts.I had all my favorites, notes, etc. 😢

This one has a confusing format, clutter, too many ads 
ALL which ruin devotion time. 
I am hoping someone will bring back the previous one I had or one similar.
I’m about to delete & move on.

### 2/5 — Reading

*2026-03-13, version 11.2.9*

Today is Monday and you keep posting Sunday this is something you keep doing repeatedly you need to give somebody else the job of posting or Streams will lose its followers. The calendar is not working correctly in the app

### 2/5 — Malicious ads

*2026-03-06, version 11.2.9*

Devotions are great but got pop up ad that looked like Apple warning - always for malicious software

### 4/5 — Streams in the Desert

*2026-02-19, version 11.2.9*

This is a great app, however I have difficulty with the way it works daily. Sometimes it doesn’t change properly and I read the previous day’s devotions a second time. Today I couldn’t do anything. It brought the word for today, but wouldn’t bring up the morning’s prayer. And the ads are great, but sometimes won’t close properly.

### 2/5 — Reading

### 5/5 — Blessings

*2026-01-07, version 11.2.0*

I have used this app for many years. Thank y’all!

### 3/5 — Frozen

*2026-01-03, version 11.2.0*

The quote keeps freezing and then you can’t read anything. It does this every other day Fix it You need to fix the App every other day it freezes and you can’t read it. It doesn’t do any good to put it out there if it’s not going to 
work. You left Saturday January 3 out.
