### 2/5 — Not Accessible

*2026-06-30*

While the content is 5 stars, as someone with photosensitivity, I cannot use it. If this was in dark mode and with a different font I’d love it.

### 2/5 — No information on papers

*2026-02-06*

Every day the pages are blank. I have to uninstall and then reinstall. Poor show indeed.

### 2/5 — App functions poorly

*2026-01-07*

The reflections are so good but the technology of the app is poor. Like others I also get messages to say my subscription has expired, or I am faced with a blank page. Reinstalling the app is only a temporary fix. Content is so good and having an app is such a great support, but please make it work.

### 5/5 — Daily Readings

*2025-11-27*

At the last update, I could no longer access all the readings. This latest update has solved that. I’ve got my RDP back - yippee

### 2/5 — Now broken

*2025-10-31*

I’ve been using this for years, putting up with the fact that the link to the Bible readings and people info never works for more than a day. But now (since the Advent update) it crashes every time I try and use it. Come on now, it’s not like it’s free….

### 3/5 — Bible readings

*2025-10-11*

I’ve been using this app for many years and now can’t access the bible readings . I’ve sent an email and had no response. This is a paid for app and very disappointing to not be able to read my morning verses .

### 4/5 — Really useful

*2025-05-01*

I use this app daily and find the reflections and daily prayer very helpful. One minor gripe: the links to the authors seem to have stopped working. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but that hasn’t worked.

### 5/5 — Very helpful addition to my morning devotions

*2025-04-04*

My vicar and I use this daily to complement the CofE Daily Prayer app.
There's many different contributors - and there are many very helpful and challenging reflections.
Recommended 👍

### 4/5 — Missing updates for November not available

*2024-11-30, version 1.8.10*

I’ve tried many times to update the missing reflections for the last week of November which states that they’re available to no avail. Also, I’m fed up with having to close the banner that tells me my renewal date daily throughout the year. I renew my subscription annually but these faults are not making it a good app. It’s gone down in my estimation. Cleric

### 1/5 — Missing reflections in November

*2024-11-30*

Still missing!
