Great for new converts

I’ve been looking for an app just like this. I struggle with reading scripture consistently and until yesterday I thought I’d never be able to say I spent quality time with the Lord today but here because of this app it happened. And I’m thankful for that. There is a login process, no big deal unless you just don’t like that kind of stuff. No fees which definitely helps! The passages go in order according to biblical genre, on Saturdays and Sundays they have what seems like rest days but still give an examination of conscience space for confession and a space for homily notes as well. I’ve already recommended it to my friends. Thank you so much! God bless!

Can I Edit the Bible passage.

I thought I had found the right lectio divina to journal, but I cannot edit the passage. I get a different passage every day from a group I am in doing the lectio Divina and this app it’s almost perfect, except it will not allow you to edit the Bible passage. Please change it to be able to edit the Bible passage.

Unresponsive

I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the app over the last week but, a couple days ago, upon opening the app, I was presented with the sign in screen. The app will not accept my password and when I click “forgot password” and request a reset link, there is an “unknown error” message that appears. I have tried multiple times over the last few days. I also tried to click on the “app support” link from the App Store but that link did not work either…any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Great app

I am finding this app very useful wile I’m finding my way in Lectio. I had no trouble at all registering and signing in. One small suggestion is to disable screen lock when the timers are running, because at the moment if the screen locks it pauses the timer which extends the time indefinitely. Other than that I’m glad I found this app. It’s especially good when I cant decide which verse to use for my lectio practice.
