### 1/5 — UI update

*2023-07-14*

This recent update has made the app not user friendly. It’s hard to find what you need and the navigation is bad. Please go back to the way thing were.

### 5/5 — Best app

### 3/5 — Keeps Crashing

*2022-12-11*

Crashing and unable to open. Kindly Assist

### 4/5 — Two considerations and comment

*2022-03-28, version 2.0.4*

Starting from the bigger picture, I would like to thank the developer for his contribution in bringing such huge content in a simpler approach, which I can say some part of the church in a small app, so that everyone can have access. 

In the meantime, our church, especially religious issue needs serious caution while getting prepared in its contents and message. 

In almost all areas, in both the Ge’ez as well as the Amharic versions, I see lots of spelling errors.  Had this been a magazine, it doesn’t matter when compared to the bigger picture. However, in such religious issue, faith cracks or drifts would be eminent if spellings are not placed correctly for the reader.  I wish/hope everyone understands this. 

I trust, for the developer, to correct this will not be a big deal compared to the effort exerted to prepare such huge content.  

last but not least, in less than 24 hours of my download, it got crushed and I was obliged to remove it and download it again. This is something  serious which needs to be corrected especially to help people to have it operate efficiently. 

Finally, I would like say, God bless you!
