Am I the only one with this problem? ### 3/5 — Amazing when it works! *2020-10-19, version 4.9.5* Hey. I love your app because I can listen to the prayer room without going on YouTube. Your app is amazing WHEN IT WORKS. You should really consider updating it. ### 2/5 — Not the same *2020-05-28* This would be getting five stars but for some reason starting at the end of 2019, the app got really buggy. Before you used to be able to look up past teachings and download old sermons but for some reason the app will not let you do that anymore. It also won’t let you look up any of the archived worship sets. Please fix the app ### 3/5 — Amazing content *2020-03-17* 3 stars is based on the app itself, not the content. I’ve loved this app for the years I’ve had it, and it has really pushed me deeper in the Lord in seasons of my life. But 3 stars remain because the app hasn’t been updated in over a year. A few things are broken now; you can’t search sermons by teacher anymore (if you try to it crashes), and managing my downloads doesn’t work (will also crash). Also can’t seem to download new content anymore. Probably just incompatibility with iOS 13. But again, besides these things I love it! The sermons are amazing, I love the worship, and the all nations prayer room is a blessing too. ### 3/5 — Stopped working *2020-02-20* App no longer plays live stream (audio or video) after latest iPhone update. I love this app and use it often, so I’m very disappointed. Fix, please!! ### 4/5 — I really want to give 5 stars... *2019-10-25, version 4.9.5* The player isn’t playing anymore!!! I have a time limit on my phone for apps like YouTube because they draw my attention away from Jesus, so being able to watch or listen to the prayer room through the app is essential! ### 4/5 — Changed my paradigm *2019-04-29* This app has revolutionized my life. Yet there is still opportunity for a deeper dive, if it would allow me to browse archived worship sets by searching them by date/time. I have this app almost all the time on and whenever there is a moment that captures my heart, I write down the date and time and the lyrics that I may revisit it in the future. Once months pass, it takes me longer to scroll down and into the next page in order to find the desired worship date and time since the app doesn’t provide the search to be done in this convenient way. Sole reason for the missing star. If updated I will update this revie to 5 stars. You guys are awesome! ### 4/5 — Amazing *2019-01-08* The only thing that I have an issue with, is that I’m someone who attends the conferences and it would be nice to have an updated list of sermons, as I want to be able to listen to 2018’s fascinate conference and others that have happened but I can’t, hope you will do an update with the latest sermons ### 3/5 — Archives behind... *2018-10-18* The archives seem to be about 36 hours behind on the app... is there any way that can be fixed so as soon as a set is finished it goes into the archives? ### 3/5 — I wish it were better! *2018-08-02* I love the app when it’s working well- it’s my go-to for music while I’m working. But periodically (every week at least) the live stream is glitchy- cutting in and out, even switching sets mid-stream. It’s maddening. FYI-it’s not limited to one device but does this on my iPhone and iPad. ### 5/5 — A heavenly update.... *2017-05-29, version 4.5.7* ....the tiles are wonderful, and the content is striking! How about enabling the app for iwatch, per Bob Jones vision... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-09-13* This organization needs to be shut down. Mine Bickle is a predator, and his baby spreads lies and deceit. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t load *2024-06-11* You just see the loading screen ### 1/5 — No results when searching archives *2023-02-05* I love this app and I love this ministry. However, for several weeks now, when I try to look at the Worship with the Word archives, it just says, “Sorry, no results where [sic] found.” And ditto for searching the archives by any of the categories except All Worship Sets—and All Worship Sets no longer shows the preview by worship leader. I use these features regularly as part of my devotional life and now haven’t been able to use this app in weeks. Please fix!! ### 1/5 — Are there app issues? *2023-01-13, version 5.21.2* I absolutely LOVE this app, but it has not worked for me for months. I decided to delete the app and reinstall but now it just stalls while trying to open. Have updated iPad too, no joy. :-( I now tend to go to the website instead, but would be great to see this back up and running well. 5 stars when it works. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work anymore *2022-04-20* It’s been a long time since this app hasn’t worked. Since the “Unceasing Worship” app was launched by IHOPKC, this app hasn’t been working. Looks like IHOPKC is no longer operating this app to have ppl pay for the “Unceasing Worship” app. That’s fine with me, but letting us know that this app will no longer be operating would lessen confusion and have ppl transition to the “Unceasing Worship” app. Until there’s an official announcement of the discontinuation of this app, I won’t be transitioning to the “Unceasing Worship” app. ### 1/5 — Broken *2020-07-21* The app hasn’t been updated in 2 years. It no longer works. It needs to be fixed and updated. ### 1/5 — Does not update the archives *2020-03-06* I have to delete the app and reinstall it to make it work now ### 1/5 — Worked great until update!!! *2017-09-16* Crashes on opening. ### 1/5 — Update *2017-09-08, version 4.7.0* Updated the app and now I can't play any sets in the background?? I can't lock my phone/leave the app without the music stopping. Won't be using the app until it is fixed. ### 1/5 — A mark against Subsplash Apps *2016-10-04, version 4.3.1* None of their apps have launch failure messages on my phone and asks me to come back later. I emailed them a long time ago with no results. For IHOP I'll have to use you tube but don't really know what to do about the rest. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Learning to love Jesus *2024-05-19* International House of Prayer has been a blessing to my family and church. Their teachings are centered on Jesus and how to genuinely love him. ### 5/5 — Love IHOPKC! *2023-09-24* I grew up a mostly cessationist and recently the Lord has opened my heart to seeing the wonders of his hands and the work of the Holy Spirit. This ministry does a great job of displaying the wonders/works of Christ and glorifying God through ALL of it. I also really appreciate the 24/7 prayer room. I just want to broadcast this message over the whole world. ### 5/5 — Hello *2022-04-21, version 5.19.0* The app hasn’t been able to load for awhile now :) Would it be looked at? Jhan ### 5/5 — Literally Best App Ever *2022-04-13* Love the archives. Great way to get in the presence of God! ### 5/5 — Absolutely perfect *2021-07-30* This app is so amazing I love it so much! ### 5/5 — Best app to pray to *2021-04-09* Absolutely powerful and amazing and fresh worship and prayer to pray to at any time. I love the archives. I also love that I can swipe the video to side of screen and do work, read the news etc while I listen and pray. ### 5/5 — Amazing unity and sounds great peaceful *2018-09-02* They are spirit led so they sound good and know how to Minister Gods Love Power and sound mindedness they have prophetic gifting and minister to specific needs. The unity is incredible and the focus is completely on God. ### 5/5 — Love the prayer room *2018-06-10, version 4.9.5* Very good love the prayer room, the only issue is it uses about 1 gigabyte for Half an hour, is it possible to introduce quality settings or some kinda low data mode, so I can use less Internet data? ### 5/5 — Best Christian app of all time *2017-10-11* Live worship 24/7 with professional musicians. Christian radio cannot compare to the live prayer room. Easily the best Christian app available anywhere. Huge sermon library too, full of wonderful, deep sermons that both teach and encourage at the same time. ### 5/5 — What happened????? *2017-09-18, version 4.7.0.1* The app is no longer loading. It crashes upon loading!! Please fix - I need my favorite prayer and worship app back to normal. Thank you in advance for solving the problem. 9/18/17 Update.....okay, I deleted and downloaded the app again after the update and now it's back to normal. It's working fabulously - I'm so happy!!!! Thank you so much!!!!🤗🙏🏾❤️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
