Good… ish. These devotionals can be insightful and spiritually uplifting, but after leaving the app for a while and then returning I realise they are repeating old content on a regular basis. Not expensive so probably still good value.
Self help quotes in images do not relate to Bible verses
Instead of Bible verses which was what attracted me to DVO. It has changed. Instead of beautiful Bible verses that were wallpaper worthy and more now sharing Beene Brown quotes. Really? What happened?
FAKE REVIEWS
I’m convinced that most of these reviews are fabricated by the same people because no one in their right mind would think it’s so great to have to pay for EVERYTHING inside a Christian devotional app. Like cmon, get real.
Good but user experience can be better
Great content and artwork but have had a lot of issues with payment via the app
Outdated Old App
This App is old - everything is from way back in 2015 and they have the nerve to ask you to pay for every single devotion!! WTH??!
A Must Subscribe!
I’ve never written a review for any app until today. I have been consistently using DVO for the last four years and I absolutely love it! I love the images, verses, motivational sayings and everything it does behind the scenes. It does so much more than what people realize! One of my favorite features is the Daily Reminder so you never miss a dvo. Check it out. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Thank You DVO! Keep up the great work! ❤️

Instagram a no no!
Bought this app hoping to be able to connect to Instagram. I Have to download image directly to photo library. No option to choose Instagram in the share and by pass saving all these images to my phone.
Have used app for several years.
Need help from Liz. When I click on app icon it doesn’t open just spins. Have deleted and reinstalled. Just spins.
Love DVO
I first came across DVO after going through a particularly bad breakup and I needed something to help restore my faith in pretty much everything. I appreciate the personal nature of DVO, I didn’t grow up going to church but having the author talk about her personal struggles as well as scripture adds a human connection that I can empathize with. I always feel like there’s something I can apply directly to my daily life and I’ve made DVO a part of my morning routine.

No longer works
Over the past month, the app has opened 1 in 10 times. I’ve deleted and re-loaded the app at least once a day. Tried the “App Support” icon in the App Store listing and was sent to the developers website. Tried logging in and apparently had forgotten my password. Asked to reset the password and never received the email that I was told would be sent. Very questionable support for an app I pay for and get to use every tenth time I open it. I have cancelled my subscription.

Avid User for over 7 years
I have been using the DVO app for over 7 years since I’ve been back in NYC. I’ve used the app on many occasions to share with friends and strangers. I’ve found that on some days and weeks, the message speaks directly to me.
However, lately there has been a change and it has felt less prophetic and biblical and more a bit systematic. As a user for over 7 years, I’m aware that it could just be me. But from reading the other reviews, I’ve been thinking maybe not. I encourage the writers to continue to write because you are helping many people around the world. If possible, dig deeper. Don’t worry about being controversial and being more like Jesus when it comes to your beliefs. Truth is... I’ve been in church since I was born. I’ve been a christian since I was 9 years old. Now I am 40, gay and black. I don’t quite “belong” in any church because of my sexual orientation and color. But that has and will never stop me from belonging to Jesus. That’s why I’ve continued to subscribe to this app, because it’s rich in Jesus. So, be encouraged and go as deep as JESUS goes into your writings. Blessings on Blessings!

New Age Rubbish
I signed up today and am going to ask for a refund. Short scripture followed by a long spiel of new age rubbish with quotes by Anaïs Nin who was not Christian.
Great when I have time to read it
Good read but for those who have little time to stop and read or for those with poor site would an audio version be available. Like it otherwise.
Used to love!
So I have subscribed for years, but recently this app makes me sign in every day. How annoying is that?!? The content goes through highs and lows just like our lives, so I don’t mind it and generally I can relate. BUT this sign out thing..... it’s annoying as heck!
Not what it used to be like ... disappointing
When i signed up years ago scriptures were the devotionals. Now, its not the case. And Idon’t mind the occasion quotes from remarkable people, but the MOST remarkable Word of God seems to have taken second place.
PLUS - I need glasses to read the devotionals these days. They are WAYYYY to small and difficult font to read.
Anyway... Im no longer renewing my subscription and its sad. As I said, I have been with these guys for years. But all the best to the team there at DVO

My app
My names Imani I am trying the dvd app for the first time.
No biblical anymore
Used to be a great biblical app but lately its not anymore.
Updated Most accurate 2019 review
Paying for anything “church” is at first strange. but God created life and if it is because of Him that all life and jobs exist and that we should be able to connect with him through it all then shouldn’t we be paying for any jobs? Or anything? If this were a memoir from a president or your favorite celebrity you wouldn’t question payment at all. It’s a tough topic but sometimes people actually work hard in what they do and they find themselves working hard within the church and some positions deserve compensation. These one stars seem kind of “casting-the-first-stone”-ish haha.
So, yes. As many as the reviews have said, the devotional content seemed to have changed from something really beautiful to something unrelatable to all but I definitely feel that they have seen the comments and that they are back on track now and I now can start recommending this back to people.

Great Devotions!
Every morning I read the DVO while drinking a cup of coffee. The DVOs are simple to understand and are a great way to start the day!
Just what I was looking for!
These devotionals are so refreshing! I’d been looking for a devotional beyond the My Daily Bread types and these speak to my heart!
