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 *2026-02-02, 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 it’s followers ### 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. ### 4/5 — Great Devotional Mediocre App *2025-08-07, version 10.1.0* I have always loved Streams in the Desert, the Morning and Evening prayers and Charles Spurgeon’s writings. I just find the app a little clumsy to use and needs some tweaking - like the font color on the Israel picture descriptions. The font is too dark. ### 5/5 — Best devotional app out there *2025-07-06, version 10.1.0* Even thought is says Streams in the Desert it actually had a good sampling from other quotes and devotional. ### 2/5 — I love Streams in the Desert *2025-06-21, version 10.1.0* But the new version of the app I don’t. It’s so hard to get to where I can read the actual devotional for the day. ### 5/5 — Calendar Days are off a day *2025-05-11, version 10.0.0* The Morning and Evening Prayer calendar is off a day starting from January 6th forward. ### 5/5 — Desert Rose *2025-04-22, version 10.0.0* I faithfully read the Book but was thrilled to find the app! I love the daily reading and enjoying being encouraged! ### 5/5 — Very encouraging and inspiring! *2025-02-23, version 9.0.15* The devotionals are excellent, and the quotes and prayers are so encouraging! It is very obvious these prayers are coming from the heart and have been a big help to me to pray along with. ### 5/5 — So good *2025-02-15, version 9.0.15* Can’t say enough.. a excellent resource ### 5/5 — Great for meditation *2025-02-14, version 9.0.15* I love this app more and more. It has very deep insightful teaching You will be blessed to use it🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — This book helps people who are faithful and still hurting *2025-01-06, version 8.3.0* This is an amazing devotional that seems to be so exactly what you need right when you need it… for some people. I have bought and given out copies of this to people who are really struggling, which is how I received it. But for people who have a perfect life, this book, I have heard is a downer. I dunno. Sad people listen to the blues. This is that for believers. And it is awesome! ### 5/5 — Streams *2024-12-08, version 8.3.0* Has been my favorite devotional book for twenty plus years. Having the app is so helpful and means a lot. ### 5/5 — Timeless *2024-12-07* My great grandparents used Streams in the Desert for their daily devotion and the messages are still encouraging and applicable today. I’ve used this app for many years and appreciate the beautiful and easy to use construction. I pray this developer is abundantly blessed. This has been a great app because if your eyes are too tired, or too weak to read it, there is the option to have it read to you. However, since the last update, now between every paragraph, it reads “break Time equals nineS,”. This becomes very annoying and I’m sure the developer just doesn’t know that that’s a problem. ### 5/5 — A must read everyday! *2024-11-05, version 8.3.0* The selections and commentary are both uplifting and faithful to God’s heart. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What Happened to the original app? *2025-06-14, version 10.1.0* This is not the original app that was bought. ### 1/5 — Frozen *2024-11-30, version 8.3.0* 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 ### 1/5 — Update is very unfortunate *2024-04-22, version 8.1.4* All of my prior designations of favorites are gone. New version also requires constant tapping to open next set of paragraphs rather than simply scrolling up and down in text. Very frustrating and disappointing. Will look for another devotional app. ### 1/5 — Daily reading. *2023-12-24, version 8.0.2* Why do you have a computer reading the word of God? We are humans, computer reading has no place in it. ### 1/5 — Not the book *2023-09-10, version 8.0.1* I’ve been reading my Streams in the Desert book for years. I still do, but I thought I’d get the app also. I’m giving it one star because the description is deceiving. It is totally different from the book. This just seems to be a daily Spurgeon devo. 😕 So glad I still have the book. ### 1/5 — Changes *2023-08-18, version 8.0.1* You recently made changes to your app. I don’t like it at all. Quotes by someone other than the Word of God are not beneficial. I won’t be using it anymore ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-07-25, version 8.0.0* I deleted this app, and will never use it again. You’re trying to force people to pay for stuff and throwing all these curves, making it impossible to get to the reading! Shame on you for changing this app!! ### 1/5 — No sound *2023-03-15, version 7.0.1* I rely on the audio feature but it won’t work on my phone. ### 1/5 — Too many notes *2022-07-06, version 6.1.0* I find this app confusing. It seems it has replaced the devotional I used to have. It’s like when churches replace their choirs by cherry picking the best singers And meeting and then lounge singers like they’re from Britain’s got talent. Why not just making you have and that replace the old? The icon for the therapist now just a placeholder so I can remember where my other apps are. ### 1/5 — It’s a bot app *2022-05-18, version 6.1.0* Just a copy/paste of a bunch of other apps out there under different names (ie:Spurgeon). Same exact content. Same goal: click on adds that open bit don’t close. This app is useless. Deleted it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Aurelio Barreto *2026-05-12, version 11.2.9* Best devotional ever made! It has blessed me for 2 decades! ### 5/5 — Faithful *2026-03-27, version 11.2.9* I really look forward to this devotion daily! Thank you for your faithfulness! Praise God for HIS faithfulness! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-01-08, version 11.2.0* This is a powerful tool to help with your daily walk with Christ. ### 5/5 — Blessings *2026-01-07, version 11.2.0* I have used this app for many years. Thank y’all! ### 5/5 — My daily devotion *2025-12-30, version 11.2.0* Daily Streams has been my companion for over 30 years. Next to the Bible it has been a light and encourager through many a difficult trial. It is fresh every morning and reveals new depths with the Lord each year. ### 5/5 — My morning go-to! *2025-11-03, version 11.2.0* I found a copy of this book on my dads shelf many years ago before he passed away. What a blessing it has been to me! I have shared it with many friends. Finding it in digital form has been a blessing when I travel. I only wish I could find the version I have in printed form in digital form which is the one copyrighted 1997. ### 5/5 — Streams in the Desert Review *2025-11-02, version 11.2.0* Thank you for creating this app. I use this as my devotion nearly every morning. That said, this new update tends to lock up and freeze. When this happens I have to log completely out and start over. The three star review is for the app operation; otherwise, I give the content five stars. ### 5/5 — I’m so happy I found this app! *2025-09-29, version 11.1.2* I found this by searching for Stream in the Desert, but I love that it also has daily Spurgeon excerpts! And the prayers are lovely as well. Thank you for making this app! ### 5/5 — Encouragement *2025-09-19, version 11.1.2* Short poems and dialogue to encourage our walk with Jesus. It’s a sweet space away from social media scrolling. ### 5/5 — Seeing the Heart of God *2025-07-22, version 10.1.0* I highly recommend this devotion to anyone who questions the goodness of God or ask the question why me. There is not one day that I have read this devotion and was not lifted up to the heavenly’s to see the love and care of my Father in heaven. If you are in a place of confusion, suffering pain or rejoicing, This is the devotion for you. May God richly bless you. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
