It crashes for me

It might just be my phone but every time I tap on the app it crashes immediately. I tried deleting and re-downloading and it still crashes. Great app tho <3

Forever

I appreciate the new update a little while back in the app and what it does to encourage daily prayer for the children and then facilitating monthly letters to them, but the auto login process to get to the daily prayer takes far too long. It feels like dial up did back in the day…like I can feel myself aging while I wait for it to load. Please improve this login speed, because gahhhhh.

Good, has it’s issues

I love that it makes it quicker/easier to connect with the children.

However, letter drafts rarely save right, so unless you write and submit all at once it will be lost.

Also, Letter button is glitchy. First time you click nothing will show up, but second time it will work.

Also really important to note!! The app will automatically give you the text from your child in your language. But I wasn’t even clicking the button to see their original letter, and missed some very sweet drawings I was sent! So be aware to look at both.

Please make these changes, because everything else is amazing :)

New App Update Isn't Helpful

Wow, I'm not sure why all the changes were made. The old app was awesome.. I could see when I wrote my Comapssion child last, when I gave last, I could see all the letters written back and forth.
**This new app update is so hard to navigate. I couldn't find any of our letters--it seems like they weren't saved. I couldn't easily find info on our child.
The old app home page was the best--you could see your Compassion child, a map of where they live, their school info, the last time you gave or wrote.
If the app stays as is, I'll have to use the website instead, and in fact that's what I did today in order to write my child.

**I politely and vehemently ask the app designers to go back to what you had before.

Must Buy a New Phone To Use

I’m sure the developers are as horrified as the Apple people are that my phone won’t update past iOS 15-whatever yet I keep using it. And I’m grateful that Compassion made the app unusable for people like me at a slower rate than the grocery store.
I guess it’s hand-written or web page letters for me.
