Church of the Highlands is a praying church. Now, they have developed an app to help lead people to a stronger prayer life. They have said that we worry in specifics and detail but pray in generalities. So true! This app guides you through very specific prayers. For example, have you ever prayed for someone to be saved? This app addresses 5 very specific aspects when praying for the lost. And when this changes your prayer life, come back and share it with someone to change theirs. To God be all the glory! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-09-02* This app is awesome! I look forward to see how it improves. First release it is easy and simple to navigate. Prayers are impactful and allow some to learn to pray which is so important. 💙♥️❤️ ### 5/5 — In Love with Prayer App *2021-08-24, version 1.0.3* Absolutely love this app! Would like to be able to share prayer lists. ### 5/5 — WOOOOW *2021-08-16* Thank you, Jesus, for using Highlands. This is an incredible tool for prayer. The worship, the prayer plans, the prayer list that I can create and look at every day… what an incredible blessing. ### 5/5 — Handy and useful *2021-08-16* Prayer being a regular routine I am benefiting from the lesson and suggested prayers. I love a place to list my prayer requests public and private. This app supplements my morning “God” time. Thank you for creating this app. ### 5/5 — App that guides you to deeper prayer *2021-08-14* I did not realize the shallowness of my prayer life. I have often rushed through prayers with a little thanks, a little forgiveness, and a laundry list of requests. This app truly guides you to a deep intimate prayer time that causes you to check your heart and seek God ### 5/5 — Grateful for this God centered app!! *2021-08-12* With all the distractions in our world I seldom have the ability to stay focused on what matters most…my Lord and Savior. Since downloading I’ve stayed connected with God not just at the beginning of the day but continuously. Thank you Church of the Highlands! ### 5/5 — So flipping Good *2021-08-10* Love it. Very helpful ### 5/5 — Must download!! *2021-08-10, version 1.0.2* Amazing app!! Keep up the great work Church of the Highlands! Pray First! ### 5/5 — An App Builds Your Relationship with God *2021-08-09* Wow, church of the highlands is such a blessing. This app has become a daily use for me. I love lots of Bible apps, but few prayer apps. Contains information on fasting, teaching, worship music (so amazing), and prayer notes. During 21 days of pray they provide video for encouragement and prayer. This will change your life personally. Thanks for those who have built it! ### 5/5 — Love the music! *2021-08-09, version 1.0.2* Very moving and truthful, leading peacefully into the presence of our Lord! ### 5/5 — Great! *2021-08-08, version 1.0.2* Helps me to organize my prayer life. Easy to add someone to my list when I tell them I will pray for them! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Guest only *2023-01-08, version 1.5.0* When I try to login it asks for my email. Once I enter that all I have is a blank screen. ### 2/5 — ? *2021-08-11, version 1.0.2* Why this said English and Spanish if when I push Spanish only the menu is in Spanish. The rest still in English ### 3/5 — I want to love… *2022-09-14* I want to love this app. But the issue I’m having is I can’t signup to use it. I always have to sign in as a guest. I’m actually watching a seminar right now with HC evening and made me want to let y’all know that I’m having this issue. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback! We are so sorry to hear about your negative experience. Please contact our team at prayfirstapp@churchofthehighlands.com and we'd be happy to assist you in signing up. ### 4/5 — Prayer List? *2026-02-07* With much of the content from this app moved to the Highlands App, would it be possible to bring the actual prayer list to the forefront? Currently you have to scroll just to get to the list. It would be nice if the list showed up first! (Or at least and option to allow it) ### 4/5 — Super *2024-10-16, version 1.6.1* Wenn es jetzt noch die Möglichkeit gäbe, Gebetsanliegen in der App zu teilen oder Gruppen anzulegen, dann wär die App top! ### 4/5 — Amazing *2024-08-12* Such a great app. One issue I’m having is going into my prayer list, touching a topic, and the details not coming up. I have to share it to a text to see what the specifics of the prayer are. ### 4/5 — Read. *2023-04-16* I love the prayers and resources they provide and the aesthetic of the app is very professional, pleasing. There is a character limit on the titles of your prayers and you can’t fully expand the prayer and make it full screen. I would use it more for the prayers they provide and to help you write your own. ### 5/5 — Such a blessing! This app is powerful prayer tool! *2023-11-24* This ap has helped me pray more effectively for my family and friends. It’s a great focusing tool for prayer. The ability to play gentle music is wonderful for shutting off the intrusive thoughts that interfere with my pray times. ### 5/5 — Blessed developers *2023-10-08* Thank you for using your talent to develop such a friendly application that glories God. Maybe God continue to bless your talent ### 5/5 — Perfect *2023-05-03* Pray blessings over each of you today. This is an awesome prayer Ap/tool that has helped develop a more robust prayer time. It also serves as a quick reference guide if need to pray over someone. Have a joyful day! ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Music while you pray *2023-02-05, version 1.5.1* 21 days of prayer has and does change my life every time. Tabernacle prayer and spiritual warfare prayers are 100! ### 5/5 — Praying Made Easy *2023-01-11, version 1.5.1* Thank you Pastor Chris and team for making this app. My prayer life has change 100%. ### 5/5 — Amazing Prayer Guide *2023-01-11, version 1.5.1* This app is an amazing tool to grow in your prayer life or to simply understand why we need prayer! A BLESSING ### 5/5 — Love the guided prayers *2023-01-11* For many years I’ve built prayer lists and used prayer models, but the video guided prayers based on scripture in this app are so insightful. They are so helpful to deepen my prayer and my focus on God’s guidance and providing. Thanks to Chris Hodges for the Prayer First concept and for Church of The Highlands for such a practical resource ### 5/5 — Endlich! *2022-09-06, version 1.4.0* So eine tolle Gebets App! Auch in deutscher Sprache. Danke 🙏🏼 ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2022-07-30* Such a great experience. And thank you for making music available in the app. It adds so much for me. ### 5/5 — Excellent app, missing one minor feature *2022-03-29* Please add dark mode so I can read these in the morning or at night without being blinded.
