### 1/5 — immediately have to pay

*2026-07-07*

so when you first download the app, you have to set up your personalized prayer plan. then once it’s set up it forces you to pay for a subscription and you can’t exit it. why are we making people pay to have a relationship with Jesus?

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2025-09-29*

Charged me and doesn’t even work

### 3/5 — App suddenly stopped

*2025-09-10*

App not working at all.

### 5/5 — It’s made me better in my faith

*2025-09-07*

Praying before I open them has helped me  make better decisions. Thank you to whoever God used to come up with this idea.

### 3/5 — Freeze up

*2025-09-04*

I don’t really write reviews but this app keeps freezing up. I like the layout, but it’s very annoying using it and it freezes up I literally have to delete the app and start all over again. I’ve only had the app for a couple of weeks and I already had to delete it three times. Because it froze up, I am not very happy. I’ve already purchased it for the year, but I will not resubscribe.

### 5/5 — 4 stars

*2025-07-06*

Okay so the only reason I don’t like it is because it’s makes you pay to do anything else, other than that it’s fine.
