Other than the fact that it was apparently developed by and/or for those fluent only in Hebrew, it works fine. ### 4/5 — Good gospel app *2019-10-10, version 1.3* Good app but need to fix the direction of swipe as it seems backwards. ### 3/5 — Swipes don’t work well at all *2019-03-08, version 1.3* Great idea. Spot on information and salvation plan. Swipes very awkward and highly inconsistent. How hard can it be?! ### 3/5 — Great Resource *2018-06-30, version 1.2* A simple and clear way to share the Gospel. The only problem is that the sound doesn’t work on the video. ### 3/5 — Great idea, doesn't work *2017-10-23, version 1.2* Swipe won't work. ### 3/5 — App is Great, but IOS11 broke it *2017-10-03, version 1.1* The app is great, but with IOS 11, it does not orient correctly on the screen. I hope to see a revision soon to correct this bug. ### 5/5 — Needs updated *2017-09-29, version 1.1* The app is great in its simple walk through of the 3 circles. These conversation circles are a clear presentation of God’s perfect design, our sin that has led to brokenness and a departure from that design, and the way to restore a right relationship with God through Christ Jesus. PLEASE UPDATE TO WORK WITH iOS 11. It only shows on half my screen and is upside down. ### 5/5 — Helps me share! *2017-07-13, version 1.1* I use this ALL the time! Mostly kids in my home respond the quickest. It's super easy, and the video works great when you make sure your phone is not silenced or in "do not disturb" mode. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The app runs great for me *2022-10-28, version 3.0.1* Everyone on here is fussing about the app not being functional…I have a problem with the content and motives of NAMB. This is not a biblical gospel presentation. No mention of God’s holiness and why sin is such an offense to God. NAMB in this app fails to explain God’s righteous hatred of sin and wrath which will be poured out on sinners who do not repent and believe. No mention of man’s sin nature. This app leaves people thinking they are born perfectly righteous but then become broken. Speaking of brokenness, the emphasis here seems to be on restoring man’s broken life for the man’s personal earthly benefit rather than glorifying God and pleasing Him because He is worthy to be praised. The Bible presents people as being “by nature children of wrath.” 3 Circles has no mention of the work of the Holy Spirit in regenerating man’s heart, transforming him into a new creation and guiding that new life into conformity with God’s standard of righteousness—His Word. No mention of Christ as being truly God and truly man, sinless and altogether righteous, the only sufficient sacrifice to atone for the sins of mankind and grant to them eternal peace with God. You want to share the gospel with someone? Open the Bible and read it to your “one.” If you give them the Scriptures and they reject Christ still, at least your hands will not be covered in their blood. Don’t rely on a quick little gimmick mass produced by the SBC for your evangelism. The resources they produce aren’t even in accord with the doctrinal statement they claim to affirm. Study the Scriptures for yourself and come to grips with the true gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Make sure you understand what Paul told the Corinthians: “We beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” Please don’t look for an easy way to present the gospel. That always leads to compromise…and won’t bring anyone to salvation. Romans 1:16 makes it clear: “I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” Just present the truth to people, and let the Word do the work through the power of the Holy Spirit. If you get someone to “make a decision” with a watered down false gospel you’ve only done that person a great disservice. Now they think they are saved when they may well be deceived. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-04-18, version 1.3* Lots of potential but simply doesn’t work. I aggressively swipe in every direction and it doesn’t respond. Bummer because I’ve heard great things. ### 1/5 — So Disappointed *2019-03-10, version 1.3* The idea is wonderful but the app doesn’t work. Swiping not functioning. ### 1/5 — It won’t go past the opening screen *2019-02-17, version 1.3* I’ve tried multiple times to open the app and downloaded multiple times..but it won’t open past the opening screen where the directions say to “swipe.” iPhone X iOS 12.2 ### 1/5 — Bug *2018-11-06, version 1.3* Can’t swipe on ipad ### 1/5 — Fix *2018-07-05, version 1.2* The app is not working. I can’t swipe. Please fix. It seems like it would be a great tool for evangelism. ### 1/5 — Bad *2018-06-25, version 1.2* I downloaded this app and I can’t even get past the first part where it says swipe. It is frozen on it. ### 2/5 — App won’t open *2019-06-08, version 1.3* I have both English and Spanish apps. Neither will open. I deleted and reinstalled the English. Still won’t open. I have the iPhone 6 S Plus. Love the app. Just won’t work. Thanks ### 2/5 — Not working with iPhone X *2019-02-15, version 1.3* Not updated in 7 months. Typical of NAMB. Always promoting a new strategy, but doesn’t want to stick with it or develop it properly. Need more “reps” to get this app working. ### 2/5 — Needs update! *2017-09-30, version 1.1* Please update for IOS11! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome Tool! *2026-05-19, version 5.0.1* I often use the 3-Circles to quickly share the Gospel. This simple uncluttered app works great and is helpful. I’m going to share this at my next Mission-Minded Women group (and I will encourage my Jesus-loving ministry friends to download this app and to use it. Thank you so much. ### 5/5 — Great tool *2024-02-28, version 4.3.2* This app is a great tool, a good way to summarize the sin and redemption sequence. It isn’t perfect, obviously, but it is a great introduction. Try it out! ### 5/5 — Best Update! *2023-04-26, version 4.0.0* Thank you for adding the Best News tab to the app. This is great! ### 5/5 — Amazing.. *2022-03-17, version 2.0.2* This app is AMAZING! I’m a Christian and I’ve always struggled with tell people my testimony and how god is, but this lesson helps without this app I would countinue to struggle helping people come to know god because he is great! ### 5/5 — John316 *2020-02-10, version 1.3* This app is sure to have a wonderful impact for Christ throughout the world. I pray many will be blessed with salvation through Christ through this simple app. Please, update the swipe and have it swipe to the “What’s next” screen.😊 ### 5/5 — Issue with swiping *2018-07-12, version 1.3* If you go across the bottom of the screen the swipe works. You have to go left to right with the swipe, if you go the other way it will erase the last swipe ### 5/5 — Potential *2018-05-21, version 1.2* This app definitely has potential. I love three circles, and it’s my main go to tool for gospel sharing. However I finally had to delete this app just because it doesn’t work. The swiping never did work I had the hardest time getting it to do anything. Only when I viciously swiped and tapped with all my fingers could I get a response from the app. And it’s definitely the app because I don’t ever have that problem with any other app or function on my phone. If they could fix it it would be an awesome app for sure, but for the time being at least you’re better off keeping a mini dry erase board in your backpack. ### 5/5 — Developer *2018-05-11, version 1.2* Love the design of this app who is the developer ### 5/5 — Great tool, but background music could go *2018-02-07, version 1.1* This is a great tool to have on the phone. Presentation is easy to follow, and easy to train otters to use. HOWEVER, please consider making a video option withOUT the background music. I get it that it is "pleasant" to hear, but for the user it gets old quick. I know, this is not a big deal nor a deal breaker. ### 5/5 — Help *2017-09-30, version 1.1* I love this app i have lead countless people to Christ with it however it just recently started to bug where it wont display properly and ive tried downloading and re downloading but it doesnt seem to fix it i have an iPhone SE please help i want to keep using the app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
