### 1/5 — Can be better

*2025-05-29, version 1.50*

Every time I try to make a new sermon the app completely shuts down on me

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2025-05-01, version 1.50*

Hello, I enjoyed my first experience writing out a sermon on this app. I tried to write another but as soon as I tap on a new note the app crashes. I’ve tried on my phone and IPad.

### 1/5 — No longer user friendly

*2024-01-28, version 1.50*

I am in the same boat with all the recent reviews. I used to love the old version of this app. The new update is not user-friendly, the features in it are no longer good. They should try to see how to go to the old version.

### 1/5 — Just...no.

*2024-01-21, version 1.50*

I’ve had this app for years. It was amazing back then! So easy to use. All was well until it started glitching. I couldn’t see past sermons I wrote on here. It was so frustrating! And then came the update where the format became horrible. You might was well use Notes. Save yourself the headache. Not worth it.

### 1/5 — I dislike the new update.

*2023-09-05, version 1.50*

I am like others who've recently reviewed, I no longer use this app after the most event update. In its former format, it was fast and simple to construct a sermon of any style, whether multi-point, Four-Page style, and even short and simple wedding/funeral sermons. And the preaching mode was also easy to use. I tried to use to the new format twice, but gave up both times because it's just so much more complicated now...when it comes to sermon construction, simple is better. I would also love to see this return to its previous format. Until then, I will have to find another way to write and preach sermons.

### 1/5 — Bring back the old version please!

*2022-12-11, version 1.40*

Was the best app on the market for sermons but now it is unusable for me at least. Can we have the old version back please? Many others agree!

### 3/5 — Please Revert to The Prior Release

*2022-10-26, version 1.40*

Please bring back the last format before this current version. The prior style was well put together, easy to navigate, the current one is not nearly as good as that previous version.

### 2/5 — Can’t use anymore!

*2022-09-18, version 1.40*

The old version was wonderful! Nothing last forever! Thank you so much for the time used.

### 2/5 — Was a good app!

*2022-08-27, version 1.40*

This was a great app and not sure why it was updated and changed! I wish we can all hear from the developer about what the plan is! I am sad that I will more than likely not use it again.

### 1/5 — Please take it to original

*2022-07-13, version 1.40*

The pre update version was so much better now it just glitches and everything doesn’t work properly
