I listen to him every week on this app. Witch is very well put together. 5 stars all the way. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2015-01-11, version 3.24.3* 24/7 access without taking up space on my phone. Perfect! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great *2015-01-04, version 3.24.3* I go to the services when I visit family but it's a great way to listen sermons, music. To be Inspired by the word of God. ### 5/5 — THIS IS APP AMAZING *2014-12-13, version 3.24.2* I love this app almost as much as I love my church! ### 5/5 — LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS *2014-11-20* At first, I just downloaded new spring along with other subsplash apps but after listening to a lot of them, this one stood out to me. Perry is so realistic and funny, and it SO relatable in what he says. He doesn't sugar coat it, and tells you what you NEED to hear. The units they do are perfect for day to day life. I HIGHLY suggest the "eve and Adam" unit for girls because it really changed my life and how I view myself. Just try it :) ### 5/5 — For iOS 8 *2014-10-12, version 3.22.2* For iOS 8 you need to make a Notification Center widget for a daily bible verse! ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-09-21, version 3.22.2* I enjoy the sermons, message and the app. ### 5/5 — I love the App!! *2014-09-01, version 3.22.2* You guys need to fix the picture of it because when it's loaded the logo isn't straight and there's a black line at the very left of it. ### 5/5 — Child of the one true King *2014-08-26, version 3.22.2* Awesome! Love Newspring & Pastor Perry Noble! I love his transparency & approach to sharing Jesus with others! A must have APP! ### 5/5 — I love my church *2014-08-17, version 3.22.2* LOVE IT ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great church terrible app *2025-05-04, version 8.1.24* You must be the worst app developers on the planet. Every single update, every tweak the app stops loading. This week an up requires a log in but never sends the code. Why do you even need a code? This is true on multiple devices. Can you please stop trying to be cool and just make it actually work ### 1/5 — TMI *2020-05-30* Agree with earlier post. I was interested in app to learn about church and perhaps participate in virtual worship during COVID, but personal information requested was too much. By the time I got to birthday and gender it felt too intrusive. **Developer response:** Hello, very sorry for the extremely late reply to your review. Our app is designed as a personalized experience for our people, which is why we ask demographic information. If you feel uncomfortable giving that information, I would suggest checking out our website https://newspring.cc there is no login required and you can check out what service looks like as well all most of our other content. ### 1/5 — Apps wants too much info just to check it out *2020-04-12* I wanted to try out the app. See whatwas offered. But before I could get to any content I had to give a LOT of personal information. Name, address, age, sex, on and on. For someone just wanting to see what is offered that is tmi. It may have good content nut apparently this is for current members. Passersby need not apply. **Developer response:** Hello, very sorry for the extremely late reply to your review.

Bad user experience, so hard to find and navigate content :( I want my old app back. ### 2/5 — What happened to the downloading feature? *2016-09-21, version 5.0.0* Please add back the downloading feature. Also, when I'm playing the audio sermon and my screen goes black, it stops playing the sermon. Please fix that. ### 3/5 — Was a good app. *2016-09-26, version 5.0.1* I loved listening to sermons while at work but now I have to keep the app open and it won't listen in the background. ### 3/5 — This isn't good *2016-09-23, version 5.0.1* The app constantly crashes every single time I open it. AAHHHHH!!! ### 4/5 — PayPal? *2015-12-31, version 4.0.3* Great app but would be perfect with an option to give using PayPal. ### 4/5 — App Icon *2014-11-24* If you have a white background or a bright background on your home screen, you can see the app icon is white and on the left edge there's a black line. I'm sure I'm not the only who noticed this and it would look better if you fixed this. Thanks 👍 ### 4/5 — Video Freezes *2012-10-05, version 3.11.1* Does anyone else have the video freeze up every now and then? It does it on the podcast as well. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — NewSpring Church *2025-01-02* LOVE my Church live and online. A place for respite and love for all who attend! ### 5/5 — Love the notes feature *2021-01-31* I can follow along with the sermon while at church through the app — pretty dope! ### 5/5 — LOVE LOVE LOVE *2019-12-04* this app is such a great way to stay connected with my church and Jesus. I love Newspring and I love this (new and improved) app! :) ### 5/5 — Great App! *2016-10-19, version 5.0.2* I love this app! Being able to stream music is so cool too! ### 5/5 — Great! But app keeps crashing when opening *2016-09-29* The new app is great y'all. I'm just having an issue with it crashing as soon as I open it. I've done everything I can my end to make it stop but haven't found a solution. ### 5/5 — Something wrong *2016-08-04, version 4.3.3* I love the app, but it isn't working right on my iPad. I can only hear audio. I can only see the video when I make it smaller. Anita Stowers ### 5/5 — Love this Church *2016-02-26* I've been coming to Newspring for a while now and I have to say seeing life change happen so often really inspires me to keep doing ministry. I love seeing salvation every week and I'm thankful I goto Newspring Church. This app is AMAZING!!!! It's a must download. #NSNEC ### 5/5 — Please design one for the new AppleTV *2016-01-24, version 4.0.3* Great app for both the iPhone and iPad. Please design one for the new Apple TV. Yes, you can send the feed to Apple TV, but it would be great to have a native app. Great church and pastor. I love watch and learning from Perry Nobel. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2015-11-29, version 4.0.3* Awesome sermons, awesome pastor, and awesome music! ### 5/5 — Love it. *2015-09-02, version 3.26.1* Love this app. Love this church. Seriously the app works very well and it's got so many features that I don't even use but I'm glad they're there. Download it now. Do it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
