Even without sound , she is having fun checking it out. I have a new iPhone, so I don’t think the problem is on my end. Hopefully this bug can be fixed, then I will evaluate my 2 star review. ### 4/5 — A small problem *2020-12-12, version 1.2* The game itself needs a bit more action. Like maybe more exploration without being guided. The characters can move about and you know... other than ❤️ it. Good job. ### 4/5 — Problem with audio *2020-09-30, version 1.2* Great app. Did not have problem with audio on first use. Now that I signed my second grandchild on, there is no audio. Sound bar is all the way up. Deleted & reinstalled the app & still no sound. ### 3/5 — Can’t hear *2020-07-19, version 1.2* I just barely got this app because it has great reviews but I can’t hear it I turned my volume all the way up but I still couldn’t hear it. ### 5/5 — The kids love it! *2020-04-20, version 1.2* Parents who want to teach your children Bible stories, this app is great. Really impressive! Samaritan’s Purse does not disappoint in its delivery of this product. ### 5/5 — Greatest journey *2020-04-07, version 1.2* My grandkids play a lot of computer games. They love the journey through the Bible. They are always willing to go on the journey every night! ### 5/5 — Awesome App! *2020-03-22, version 1.1* I’m a a God loving God fearing girl, but I am 16 and I learned something from this app! I know it’s for smaller kids, I’d recommend 5-8 year olds, But there was a few facts that I had never heard before, (like the fact that Adam and Eve were put out of the garden because God didn’t want them to eat from the tree of life after the tree of knowledge and to live forever in darkness) It does take up a lot of storage, but that’s ok cause it’s only really interesting once, So you can delete it afterwards. Great game to teach young kids that electronics can be good things too. No shame in this game! No in app purchase that they can get by accident. No graphics. Just the amazing story of ultimate redemption. Your littles will love it, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll get pulled in like me, and you’ll love it too❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ God bless you all!! ### 3/5 — App is great but keeps crashing *2020-03-02, version 1.1* Kids love the app but cannot get past day 7. Have had the app for about 2 months and given it time to adjust bugs since it’s a new app. However, it continues to crash when day 7 is just about to begin. Has anyone had success getting past day 7? iPad 12.4 version and have lots of space. Hope it gets fixed soon! ### 3/5 — Love the app but it crashes every time *2020-03-01, version 1.1* Our girls love this app, but as soon as you discover Adam and start to upload the data, the game crashes. Would love to get past Week 1, Day 7 but you can’t. Please fix this before we delete your app. Thank you! ### 5/5 — My kids want more! *2020-02-28, version 1.1* My kids loved this app! Pros: It teaches the Bible in a fresh, modern, adventure-filled way! It’s free with no ads and no in-app purchases. Made by a trusted and well-known organization. Great for my 7 and 9 year old kids, wasn’t too difficult, but wasn’t too easy or boring. Runs well, didn’t find any bugs or glitches. Supports multiple players. Cons: It takes up a huge amount of memory space on my phone. There are only 12 missions. My kids completed them in just a few days, so now they are done with the app. Because it is such a large app I will probably delete it until updates and more levels are added. My kids are very hopeful that there will be more missions added soon so they can continue playing! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fun game but fix these gliches! *2024-03-02, version 2.0* So my mom downloaded it and I played it and it was fun at first but then every time when my crew first saw Adam the game would freeze for exactly 5 seconds and then kick me out of the app and I would go back in and it would reset me so I had to do everything all over again. I told my mom about it and she deleted it. I couldn't do much with the game so it was realy boring. ### 1/5 — No sound! *2021-05-30, version 1.2* I have downloaded this twice and neither time did I get sound. My 5-year old granddaughter started playing, and loved it, but since there’s no sound, she can’t do much. Please help...because I believe once we get sound we will give it 5 stars! Thanks! ### 1/5 — Sound *2021-03-30, version 1.2* I downloaded the app and started to play, but there is no sound. I have had the most recent update on my iPad. Help it won’t let me go to the settings. ### 1/5 — Wouldn’t recommend *2020-12-20, version 1.2* The games seem fun enough, it works fine. The characters are alluring, the colors are beautiful - it seems to be designed well as an app. But the theological implications of actually creating an image of God really concerns me. My children might understand that God doesn’t “look” like the light they have floating around and talking, but if I allow them to play this enough, this could change their Biblical understanding of the Lord. I am afraid I can’t recommend it. ### 1/5 — Shuts down *2020-10-26, version 1.2* I was really excited about this game for my kids but as soon as they start to play it freezes and shuts down. ### 1/5 — No sound *2020-03-27, version 1.2* Cannot get any sound out of the app. Even when I turn the volume on the IPad up to high. F Can someone offer help with this? ### 1/5 — No sound, long load time *2020-02-15, version 1.1* Apparently IOS 11 is the only operating system that works well. My Ipad is IOS 13. No sound. Download took over 30 minutes. Grayed-out at the bottom of the initial screen are icons that appear to be for settings. They are not accessible. Great graphics. Looks like a fascinating game, but useless without sound(or closed captions). **Developer response:** Hi, we apologize for the inconvenience. Please fill out the following survey, and we will look into the issue: https://samaritanspurse.survey.fm/greatest-journey-app-feedback. Feel free to let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns. ### 1/5 — Crashes or no voices *2020-02-09, version 1.1* My grandson LOVES this app, but on my iPad it crashes after Chapter 1, and on my iPhone we have background music but no voice sounds. VERY VERY FRUSTRATING. I’ve deleted, reloaded, re-booted, etc, several times each. PLEASE make this into the WONDERFUL learning tool that it’s meant to be. ### 1/5 — Crash *2020-01-17, version 1.1* Keeps kicking us out at day 7 ,,, and then we continually have to go back to day 5 ...won’t move on...so frustrating...and annoying ### 2/5 — Sound not working *2025-11-11, version 2.0.1* Downloaded this multiple times other apps work but this one does not ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome game for kids to know Bible! *2024-04-04, version 2.0.1* It’s a well developed game for kids to know the stories in Bible. ### 5/5 — Excellent App! My 9 year old son loves it! *2024-04-04, version 2.0.1* This app has deepened my children’s faith! It is truly interactive, well made and fun! Your child will learn practical lessons of faith and know the Word of God on a stronger level. ### 5/5 — Greatest game I’ve ever played! *2021-11-12, version 1.2* This is the best app I’ve ever had! It’s like watching a show but being apart of the show. It’s great. I wish I could give 10 stars ### 5/5 — I love this app *2021-11-02, version 1.2* I am absolutely loving this app, it’s so fun to create my own character and go on Bible adventures! 👍🏽💕 I have read some of the reviews from a few months and/or years ago, and I’m seeing a lot that is saying “no sound” or “glitches a lot”, and I can see that this issue has been fixed. I’ve had this app for almost 2 years now, and it is fun, but I am requesting more levels, and more Bible stories, like for instance; Nehemiah, Joseph, and maybe even Lazarus. I hope you take this into consideration thx. 😅🙏🏽😁 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-02-28, version 1.2* Very nice game would be cool to have more chapters like example Lazarus resurrection Jesus first miracle changing the water in to wine ### 5/5 — App no longer freezes every time and is working fine!! *2021-02-12, version 1.2* February 11,2021 I am updating my review today. I just got a new iPhone and the app is now working wonderfully! Changing from 3 stars to 5 stars. I am enjoying this game even if I am a 61 year old grandma!! Nov 12, 2020 I love Samaritan’s Purse and was excited when this game first came out. I tried playing this game and every time it freezes at the same place. At that time I deleted it because I couldn’t use it. I just upgraded my internet service to a much faster speed and decided to give it a try again. I get to the “click the license plate” and then it will go to the crew and kicks me out. A few times it will go to the meteors but no further. It says it will work on my iPhone 6+ and the iOS is updated. Is there anything that can be done or will this game just not work on my phone? ### 5/5 — A few more customization options? *2021-01-03, version 1.2* Ok so overall this is a WONDERFUL game, i can easily give it a 5 star review and can tell a lot of care went into creating it. However, i do wish that you could have the option to change your eye color, and to change more physical attributes. Please update. Thank you for providing a fun, clean source of entertainment! ❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — It’s the best app ever! *2020-11-07, version 1.2* I love this app I finished the whole thing in just a few days! I love how it’s animated, I love that each character has their own VOICES and TALKS instead of type!, I think it’s perfect for kids who don’t know how to read or pronounce words! And I love seeing the Bible story’s come to life before my eyes! The Greatest Journey really is the GREATEST journey thanks to everyone who took the time to make this app. Bye 👋🏻. Sincerely, The Greatest Journey Lover! ### 5/5 — I... *2020-10-07, version 1.2* Its beautiful, and has topics that comfort and acknowledge children. I myself am I christian child, and enjoy this so.. but sadly I have finished the game so fast.. :( ### 5/5 — Great *2020-05-02, version 1.2* This game rules but it would be better if you had more ways to customize your character and it would be really cool if you could customize your shipmates --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
