App not working again

The app won’t open, again! It’s important to me to be able to study my bible via this app. Not good enough.

Good but latest version crashes

The app won’t open any more. It shows the splash page, briefly shows part of the main page, then closes

The app is disappointing

I love encounter with God an have used it for years, but this App is frustrating beyond comprehension. White screen on startup, sign in screens every time which require password. Only access to readings when connected to internet. I’m considering going back to paper.

Response from developer

Hello. We are really sorry for the trouble you have had, and we appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. Recent updates should have resolved the white screen on startup for you. Are you still needing to sign in each time?

App not working again

When I try to look ahead to the next writer the app closes when I try to look at 6th and 7th November readings. When is the app going to consistently work properly. This is very frustrating!

New app is vast improvement

The new app has dealt with my previous concerns and is now a really good resource

Good app, a suggestion

With the latest update I’m faced with a blank screen when the app starts. This started with a slow start-up but is now a permanent feature.

The problem has now been fixed and SU contacted me to confirm they had addressed the issue, thank you!

Suggestion: I am sometimes in places with no internet coverage so can’t use the app. In this situation it would be good to be able to download a pdf or similar of a few day’s notes beforehand.

Serious Crash

Working well until today, 25th August. Now, app crashes on opening. Delete and reinstall hasn't fixed problem.

Response from developer

Sorry for the inconvenience Ian! We’ve fixed the issue causing crashes. Please update to the latest version of the app, and it should open correctly. If you still experience problems, contact us via in-app support so we can assist promptly.

Good app when it works

With the latest update I’m faced with a blank screen when the app starts. This started with a slow start-up but is now a permanent feature.

Really good quality content and Journaling!

I love this app. Being able to access really great daily reading content is a major plus. I created an account so I can journal my thoughts and answers to prayer too. Really great little addition.

Response from developer

Thank you for your kind words! We’re thrilled you’re enjoying the daily readings and the journal feature. It’s wonderful to hear the app is helping you reflect and record your thoughts and prayers. We hope it continues to be a blessing in your daily devotions!

Easy to use

New app brings great improvements, can skip if you don’t want to sign in but then having access to notes feature if you sign up is a plus. The format is helpful and you can find a day if you missed out on any to catch up. Thought provoking content.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you’re enjoying the new features, flexible sign-in, and the ability to catch up on missed days. It’s wonderful to hear the content is thought-provoking and helpful for your daily reflections. We hope it continues to bless your study of God’s Word!

Disappointed with Upgrade

Oh dear. The content of this is great - I’ve been using for 30 years, on the app for the last ten.
The new app is rubbish. Not intuitive at all. Doesn’t navigate between days by swiping. Too much extraneous info on each page. Don’t need the intro every day, don’t need full Bible text. Do need offline access. Insistent that I register my details. I’m very likely to go back to paper if that’s still possible.

Response from developer

Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad you’ve valued the content for so long and are sorry the new app hasn’t met your expectations. We appreciate your suggestions about navigation, content, and offline access – they’re very helpful as we continue to improve. We hope you’ll stay with us and keep enjoying God’s Word.

Disappointed

Having used Encounter with God for many years, I am disappointed with this new app. Yes, the appearance is much improved. But I can’t read it in landscape mode on my iPad. I can’t easily swipe backward and forwards between dates. I can only use it with a current wifi signal, it doesn’t download to read offline. Not nearly so user friendly.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you appreciate the updated design but understand your concerns about landscape mode, navigation, and offline access. Your input is very helpful as we work on improvements to make the app more user-friendly for long-time readers like you.

New app, works but needs refinement

The app has been completely rebuilt, and I must say I’m grateful. There were so many bugs with the old one, it’d been unusable for a while now. Congratulations and thank you.

It’s not perfect, but I’m trusting it will be refined based on feedback. So here’s mine! Good points: it works, hallelujah!; the search feature feels like it will be very helpful; favouriting readings is a great feature too.

It is however a real shame that the app now requires an internet connection to show readings, with no way to cache them for offline reading.

Some other strongly suggested improvements: (1) I don’t need the introduction taking up so much space each day, reading it once is plenty thanks! (2) The repeated use of large stock images really gets in the way of the reading/commentary that is, after all, the single reason I’m opening the app. Especially (but not only) because each reading is represented by identical images! Reducing, or perhaps — he says with desperate hopefulness — eliminating these would really help the interface get out of the way. (3) Some customisation options for things like font and colour scheme would significantly help accessibility. Oh, and (4), the return of a browser of readings by passage would complement the search nicely. (5) Allow me to pick a favoured translation - and/or just hide it by default if I wish? (I recognise copyright and royalties must play a role here however.)

Currently the paper version remains vastly more readable, but the digital one is so convenient I’m likely to use it anyway. Some customisation options for what to show would go a long way to bridging the gap, and let the digital version really shine.

As for the readings, they remain the same thought provoking, varied commentary as ever, and I’m grateful to have them in my pocket.

This rebuild is a welcome solid foundation for the future and I look forward to seeing it refined.

Response from developer

Thank you for your detailed and constructive feedback! We’re glad the rebuild has improved usability and that features like search and favourites are helpful. We also appreciate your suggestions on offline reading, images, customisation, and translations – they’re invaluable as we continue refining the app. We’re grateful for your support and look forward to making the experience even better for all users.

Doesn’t support IPad

I’ve been using EWG app for many years on my iPad. The new release only seems to support a vertical orientation - ie as on a phone. This is really annoying.

New version

I don’t like this new version. It’s not on the right date for Australia & it’s very busy. I’m going to stop getting it when my subscription runs out. I’m very sad that you’ve changed it.

Response from developer

We’re sorry to hear the new version hasn’t met your needs. We appreciate your feedback about the date display and layout, and it will help us as we continue improving the app. We’re grateful for your long-term support and hope future updates might restore a better experience for you.

iPad issues still not fixed

I’m still experiencing all the issues mentioned by a reviewer on 31 Dec (notices saying my subscription has expired, can’t move to next page, wrong introductions). Any fix (when I can manage it after long efforts) only seems to work for a week. I really appreciate the notes and am very disappointed when I can’t access them. Please fix the app or go back to what seemed to be working fine previously!

Good content lousy app

My experience is exactly the same as Jan44. Will be cancelling my subscription whilst I can an going back to paper

Highly recommend!

Whether you’re new to Bible reading or a seasoned believer, this app is a must-have tool for anyone looking to deepen their relationship with Jesus and live out their faith daily. Highly recommended!

Response from developer

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear the app is helping you grow in your relationship with Jesus and daily faith. Your recommendation means a lot, and we hope it continues to bless your spiritual journey!

5 for content, 1 for App

The Bible content and exposition is a huge blessing, God has used it to shape and change me over the years, deepening my relationship with him. The App itself is basic and yet clumsy with frequent unintended movement between pages, regular content update bugs as others have mentioned. Unintuitive setting access and fault reporting. Despite frequent recent update to fix bugs, I’m still not able to access the introductions to separate studies, being stuck on one from months ago. The Christmas Day reading was inexplicably missing.
