### 1/5 — Nice optics but not much else

*2024-03-03*

I wouldn’t recommend this to accompany the M’Cheyne plan. Perhaps if you were unfamiliar with the plan, and liked the optics (which are cool), you could use it to read through the Bible (and if your a fan of the KJV).  Cost me 99 cents, but after 20 minutes I deleted it.  There are much better options out there.

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2021-01-02*

Open app and nothing happens. It’s broken.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2020-01-05*

No way to use this app! Paid for it, downloaded it and it gets hung up on the introductory screen. Don’t waste your time and money!

### 1/5 — Very Odd counter intuitive

*2019-12-29*

Stuck in tutorial can’t get out.  All I wanted was access to the calendar so I could check off each reading.  Uninstalled it.

### 1/5 — No way to get started

*2019-12-29*

Someone needs post some instructions and change the font color to black. Very hard to read. Paying .99 is cheap but If it’s not user friendly the money should be refunded or not even charged until you work the bugs out. I am tapping and scrolling and nothing is populating. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2019-11-28*

An app that claims to be based on mc’cheynes plan should at least contain his plan!

### 3/5 — Will Not Open Logos Program

*2018-06-01*

I have Logos and selected it to be used. Getting message that it is Bible! Did not respond. I appreciate this program and the plan. Maybe you can fix the bug with Logos. Thanks

### 1/5 — Bad App

*2018-01-27*

Don’t waste your 0.99 cents on this app. Can’t even get it to open up to the Bible readings. It just scrolls the same thing over and over.

### 1/5 — M'Cheyne App

*2017-05-30*

Worst App on the market! Shameful considering what it is supposed to produce. Should be ban by Apple quality control!

### 1/5 — Does Not Work

*2017-04-01*

This app will not open on iphone7plus.
