Non-functional
Was expected to purchase this app for my iPhone XIV (which has all current updates). However, I have been disappointed as the appsimply does not work. On first download, the app repeatedly crashed when attempting to open. Deleted the app and did a reinstall. It will now open, but there is no content. I entered all required information to set up an account, which gave the option to select “Register”. However, nothing further happens when selecting the “Register” button, and the app remains without content. I would like a refund of the monies spent to purchase the app.

Help! App Crashes Won’t Let Me Signon
Hi, I wonder if someone can get with me. I have used the app for many years in the past and it’s the best devotional ever. The other day it wouldn’t move, the page was stuck. I turn my iphone off, on, and nothing changed. I refreshed the app, nothing changed. I deleted the app, and then download it again, and I get nothing now. It won’t even start. I click on it and it crashes. Help!

Journal scroll
I am loving this app, however please fix the journal. If my note gets too long I cannot scroll and add to it because the keyboard gets in the way. This is very annoying.
Response from developer
Teresa the tutor, thank you for sharing your journal suggestion. We are happy to pass this along to our development team.
This guy loves Jesus
Oswald Chambers’ words are powerful. My fiancé reads his devotionals to me everyday so I needed this app for myself. I look forward to him reading it to me everyday and we get to talk about it and reflect. Great conversation is had from these daily devotionals. 10/10
Response from developer
This is wonderful, Osean Nicole! Blessings as you continue to read and study together!
Awesome Content!
This devotional will help you grow in your spiritual walk with the Lord! This app is totally worth the download.
God bless you.
God bless you.
Great but
It is great to have My Utmost as an and not have to go through a book app to read it each day. However, please update the links to the resources +
Doesn’t open to current day
I have enjoyed this app for a number of years. Nothing I would change about it except that it is a bit buggy. Often when opening the app, it is one or two days behind. The only way to get to the current day is to go back to the home screen, and then it will usually jump to the current date.

Oh no, we are sorry for this frustration Fallguyz. We encourage you to reach out to our team who can help you! mobilesupport@odb.org
Great online version, web issue
I love this app that gives me a reliable online version of My Utmost. Unfortunately the link to the associated website no longer works. I think it is going to Discovery House; perhaps it should be redirected to Our Daily Bread.
Response from developer
Thank you for this feedback, OneRebo. We're glad you have enjoyed the My Utmost for His Highest devotions and we will look into the website connection.
The joy of this commitment.
I’ve been reading this fine book over and over for at least 20 years. I began with the hardcover version until the digital version was released on the App Store. This is a tremendous resource. As an early morning riser, I read each day with the anticipation of being in a committed relationship with my Lord. Beautifully designed pages and linked resources make reading each day a joy.

Mark, we're so glad this devotional resource has been a blessing to you! May each day be a closer walk with Him.
Highlighter Please
Ditto other requests for a highlighting tool.
This is a wonderful app.
This is a wonderful app.
Love it…wish for one addition
I just started using this app. It is such a convenient way to set my mind on Christ as I begin the day. When I grab my phone first thing in the morning, instead of looking at the trivial and the temporal, I go first to these writings that put me in mind of my walk with God and begin my day with challenging thinking..calling me to faithfulness. My only wish re: the app is that it would be helpful to be able to have a highlighting tool. Thank you, RBC!

App mods
I liked the old style app It’s ridiculous to have to click on the thing
Seems to be a hack in this app?
I love this app and Oswald Chambers. But today on June 8 there is a link inside of today’s page for a casino. It’s says “casino bonus.” I wanted to let you know and didn’t know how except their this review. I took a copy of the page but can’t paste it here for some reason. Please check and make sure the app hasn’t been compromised.

The best!
By far the best devotional app! Oswald Chambers’ wisdom is profound and insightful! The app has always worked well for me!
Love it!
I have the old paperback version and I often go online for the updated version but this app is so simple and convenient to use
I wish a post can be shared as a PDF or JPEG on one photo
This is my ALL-Time favorite speaker/author... (his words transcribed by his wife). While he’s from another era, my young mind was blown by how profound every book of his is. Please, do yourself a favor, get this and all his words in print... and READ... don’t put it on the “Bookshelf”.
The App Does Not Fulfill Its Purpose
ADDITIONAL COMMENT FOR ODB CREATORS OF THIS APP Apr 8, 2020: This app is so confusing and disappointing, not because of OC’s work, but because of the app’s inconsistencies and unclear operation. I rarely comment on any day’s devotional but have noticed the very frequent comments of a very few but same people on almost every day’s devo. On April 6’s devotional, a commenter asked a question and several of those same people replied. There are no dates attached automatically to comments unless the commenter puts a date in her/himself, so there is no way of telling if that question and related answers were current or from a previous year. However, I decided to post a brief reply two days ago (2020). On April 8, just two days later, I went back to April 6’s devo to read those comments and answers again. MANY OF THE COMMENTS AND THE WHOLE THREAD OF THAT QUESTION AND RELATED REPLIES WAS GONE! How disappointing. An app is only as useful as the complete and accurate delivery of its intended purpose.
UPDATE AND REQUEST Apr 6, 2020: I still find the bright white introductory interface annoying as I read MUHH often in the early morning while in the dark. My request is that the year of each reader’s comments be posted with each comment they make, giving other readers the context of when the comment or question was posted. There is a feeling of futility in answering a commenter’s question if it is not current.
UPDATE Oct 9, 2019: I have found that some of my previous concerns have been either fixed or I have discovered the correct features, I am not sure which. The bright-white screens still exist in some areas so that nighttime reading is an assault to my eyes until I reach the dark pages. And I see that James Reimann’s updated edition is being used alongside the Classic. That is very welcome. While I still find the switch between Classic and Updated confusing (which is the actual selected one—black or white?), I find I enjoy reading the comments of others who have posted their thoughts. And unlike this App Store tiny type, the ODB MUHH app has an adjustable type size function. Great improvements!
March 5, 2018. I used to use the old apps to read Chambers's thoughts and I enjoyed being able to simply close the Classic version app and go to Mr. Reimann’s updated version if a meaning was unclear to me. The format was easy to use, pleasant to read in any light situation, and identical except for the “language” used — the original words of Oswald Chambers or the careful interpretation of his thoughts by James Reimann. The apps were easy to navigate and my reading experience was not ruined by a bright white modern-looking interface that irritates my eyes, tiny type font I cannot read, a confusing two-day-available screen, and unnecessarily complicated navigational instructions and screens. On top of those non-improvements, you’ve taken away the ability to use a low-light screen instead of the irritating and eye-searing bright white screen. Plus, you totally took away the old easy-to-use Reimann updated version app! Major fail in all ways. Thankfully, Logos Bible has an excellent edition of MUHH.

If you want to grow in Christ
As a new believer someone gave me a copy of this book. It my favorite 12 years later. It has helped me grow a deeper faith in Jesus. It has comforted and convicted. How great the Father’s love for us!
Keeps Crashing
This app won’t let me register and log in. So I tried using it as guest but it keeps crashing on me. I paid for this app and I can’t use it.
Favorite App
I have an iPhone and this is working perfectly. No ads, crashes, etc. and very convenient and easy to access anywhere. It has an assortment of features added for notes, highlighting, and access to both the classic and updated versions. I also appreciate the ability to click on the Bible verses and it takes you directly to Bible Gateway to read them in full. Oswald is my very favorite of all and understands the word in a much deeper, intuitive way.
