There hasn’t been a single gem that I didn’t enjoy and that hasn’t impacted me. The only thing I’d like to see improved upon would be the scrolling within the app. It’s kind of jittery. Not a show stopper by any means and really almost not worth mentioning. I hope more people will stumble upon this like I did. I certainly share it with as many people as I can. Keep up the good work and thank you for blessing us so tremendously with your obedience to God. Be blessed! ### 5/5 — Wisdom daily. *2020-08-03, version 1.70.5* Great words of wisdom from saints of old. Thankful for their words and sometimes convicted. This reminds me of the times we are living in. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
