### 4/5 — What A Treasure!!

*2025-01-19*

Thank you Pastor Tom for your faithful work in creating this priceless library of teaching.  I’ve been reading the book of Mark in the mornings and then listening to your messages on the corresponding chapters on my way to work. I look forward to it everyday - it is so helpful.  I’ve always appreciated how you take a down to earth, easy to understand, and encouraging approach to teaching. I hope you know how grateful we are for your work!

One app functionality request. It would be so great if the app consistently remembered where you last left off, or displayed which episodes have been listened to, or allowed you to bookmark the last lesson you listened to. I currently have to scroll through every book and episode to get to the next message each day which is a bit tedious and I can’t always remember the exact episode I last listened to. Thank you for your consideration! 

Pastor Tom thank you again for this incredible resource. You have been such a blessing in my life. Thank you. I hope to listen to all of your teaching in my lifetime!

### 4/5 — App down again

*2024-11-12*

When you open the app the 2 dots in the middle just spin and nothing opens. Please fix. The app is great otherwise! I use it daily!

### 3/5 — Can’t verify email

*2022-07-05*

I really want to try this but every time I  click on the link it takes me to another page stating “invalid token verification “

### 2/5 — Frustrated

*2022-06-27*

Been trying for months to get this app working again. Can’t login therefore not useable. Can’t get passed the “you will be redirected to your Home Screen” when logging in. PLEASE FIX!!!!

### 4/5 — Devotion

*2021-08-23*

Love the messages, but frustrating because it frequently is not keeping up with the daily devotions.  It keeps playing a previous day and not updating.   I look forward to these devotional begin my day.  Thank you Tom, but your app needs updating. 🙏

### 4/5 — Latest update is problem

*2019-10-25*

I love DrivetimeDevotions but I now have to log in every time I use it, and it stops with iPhone sleep mode. I know it can be fixed, and I will keep checking. Thanks for the great lessons!

### 4/5 — Love it, but.....

*2019-10-24, version 1.23*

Since the latest update, it stops when phone sleeps.
Help!!

### 2/5 — Please fix it

*2019-09-28*

Heard it was great. Excited to try it. But I had to create an account and when I tried it said there is a developer error that’s not resolved so I can’t even begin yet. Hope it gets fixed

### 4/5 — Love it, but...

*2018-10-04*

Wow, I really love this app!  It is just what I needed, a great supplement that is helping me get through reading the entire bible. 

My only gripe is that the download capability suddenly stopped working. Such is the case with both my iPad and my iPhone - very frustrating because I listen everyday on my commute to work. Hoping the developers can look into this soon.  Thanks.

### 4/5 — Great content but more description would be nice

*2018-08-23*

I love the devotionals, but it would be great to read a summary what each section is about. Also it would be great to have each episode tagged so with a topic so i could search episodes by topic.

### 3/5 — Devotional Great - App needs work

*2017-02-20, version 1.1*

I listened to the Devotional all last year through the podcast. It's fantastic. 
However the switch to the app has left me frustrated. It wasn't communicated this was happening so I missed a few weeks and now am behind. 
The app plays the devotions in reverse order (latest to earliest) so every time one ends, I have to manually load the next day. It even prompts me to listen to the "next day" which then plays the previous day that I listened to yesterday. It's pretty frustrating.
Please mirror the settings/options on the app similar to Podcasts.

### 1/5 — Update broke media source

*2024-09-08*

### 1/5 — Use to love

*2021-06-03, version 1.24*

### 1/5 — App lost connection

*2020-01-02*

I love this app and have used it for a long time.  Frustrating because it stop and is difficult to restate or discover what is going on. It just says “have lost connection and is not available latest devotions”.  Hope it is restored soon.

### 1/5 — IOS update

*2019-10-25*

Recently iPhones had an IOS update and the app has been shutting down when phone hibernates. This not happening to me. I two other people with this app are having the same problem.

### 1/5 — Why does this app need security anyway?

*2019-04-16, version 1.22*

My sister told me about this app but I guess she got it before your “security enhancements”. 

Now it’s so secure, new users can’t sign up.  
It just takes you to an “oops” screen.

### 1/5 — Fix it

*2018-01-26, version 1.21*

Can’t download app for iPad. Frozen,please fix

### 1/5 — App not working correctly

*2017-02-26, version 1.2*

Since the update- cannot play the devotions from Titus.

### 1/5 — Enjoy the devotions, but the app doesn't work well.

*2017-01-17, version 1.1*

I prefer having the podcasts in the podcast app but they weren't posted this week, so I tried the app. Couldn't get the app to play the downloaded devotional.

### 2/5 — Episodes not showing

*2025-08-31*

I used to use this app all the time but now the old episodes are not showing up under each book.

Just discovered this app and I’m so thankful. The length of the devotionals is just right and I love the mix of Bible knowledge with the life application. I hope you never take this app down !

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-08-12*

I love the app, but for whatever reason, it’s just not loud enough. I struggle to hear it when I’m in my car, unlike other devotionals and apps. I guess I could just listen to it at home, but I really wanted something to listen to on my way to work.

This App continues to keep on giving and has really helped my walk with God. I can’t thank you enough. Really praying you will do ALL the books of the Bible

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-07-29*

I love the fact that each devotion is between 10-15 min. It makes easy to listen to 2 or 3 on my way to work. I also love the way that Pastor Tom explains everything.

I listen to this app every morning before I go to work. It puts me into a mind set that is positive and encouraging. It helps for me to help set my day off right.

### 5/5 — Don’t stop

*2019-01-23*

I love this ap.  It provides excellent content on my drive to and from work as well as any road trip when I am alone.

Recently I played it with family for good discussion in the car.

I recommend it to anyone I can
