### 5/5 — I wish they would finish the gospels Mark & John .

*2023-07-14*

I really like the lay out and reflections. It’s the best Lectio Divina method of reading the Bible out there.

### 4/5 — 3/3/2023

*2023-03-03*

Just downloaded this app yesterday and am finding it so helpful! Giving only 4 stars because readings for Mark and John were promised for 2019 and 2018, respectively… it’s now 2023 so I wonder what happened to the developers. Nonetheless, there is still plenty to meditate on from Luke and Matthew. Also it’s free and I didn’t need to set up an account to use it - another big plus!

### 5/5 — Best app for quiet time!

*2018-11-19, version 2.0*

I love this app as it helps me to be quiet and meditate on scripture. It’s amazing how I can remember it all day long and how it stays with me.

### 5/5 — Great app to begin this spiritual practice!

*2018-08-16, version 2.0*

If you are new to Lectio Divina, this is an awesome app to start this spiritual practice.  Even if you are learned in this way of praying, I have very much enjoyed using it during my quiet times. Very easy to use and gives clear guidance in each section.
