Can it be brought back? ### 4/5 — Just reporting a bug *2026-06-21, version 2.1.1* I use this every day as part of my daily devotional time and often share lessons with my online friends. Since the latest update the share feature appears to have been disabled. I tried to contact the developer but got a no server found error message. ### 3/5 — Quality has diminished. *2026-05-07, version 2.1.0* There are so many glitches now, it’s hard to use this app at all. One of the main problems is the verse hyperlinks don’t take you to the correct verse at all. Also, it constantly takes you from the day you are on and studying to another day or another lesson entirely. Frustrating. ### 2/5 — Same Two issues still exist *2026-04-30, version 2.1.0* When I use this app on my iPads they get hot. The other issue is the constant asking of permission to paste from other apps. Is there a way to turn that off? Otherwise I like this app ### 4/5 — A great help *2026-04-13, version 2.1.0* I am so grateful for this app. It’s convenient and easy to use. I have to add though that the share feature will not work on mine and this makes me sad. For sharing Gods Word, and these lessons to increase knowledge and understanding of His Word, is of vital importance. ### 4/5 — Navigational issues with recent release *2026-02-28, version 2.1.0* I the three dot menu keeps disappointing so I can’t navigate. This was never a problem before. Makes it hard to switch. Also, week selector menu doesn’t work with large text. Needs work too please ### 2/5 — Mal actualisacion *2026-02-09, version 2.1.0* Mal configuracion ### 4/5 — Great app, but missing EGW comments *2026-01-31, version 2.1.0* This app would be just about perfect if it were completed by including the EGW notes. ### 3/5 — iPad version issue *2025-12-27, version 2.1.0* Update again: this app is great and the concerns I had before have been fixed. However I still see another problem. When I click on a Bible text link it will split the screen and take me to the Scripture in the in app Bible. But the lesson scrolls itself back to the beginning of the lesson and I lose my place. It should stay where it is. Also when I tried to get app support regarding this I could not find any support in the app. There is a label called support but it only allows a donation. No comments or questions. When I went to the App Store and click on support the page is not found. A review is the only way to say something. This is a big problem in my opinion ### 4/5 — Great app for sda christians *2025-05-20, version 2.1.0* The app is excellent but the audio feature is very low ### 4/5 — Thanks. Possible Improvements *2025-03-25, version 2.1.0* I am a computer programmer (iPhone user) so want to summarize few improvements. (1) Lesson Title sometimes truncated (2) Highlighting sometimes difficult and copies/pastes duplicate text instead. (3) Cannot copy texts from Bible links into note areas. (4) When only a part of paragraph highlighted and copied, the entire paragraph is coped. (5) Would be nice to have Table of Contents and Quarter Introduction like paper quarterly. Thanks for your hard work. God bless you. ### 3/5 — Two issues *2025-01-29, version 2.1.0* When I use this app on my iPads they get hot. The other issue is the constant asking of permission to paste from other apps. Otherwise I like this app ### 4/5 — Bible versions *2024-10-26, version 2.1.0* What happened to the various available Bible verdions? ### 3/5 — Would be a great app, but… *2024-07-27, version 2.02* Would be a great app, but there are some issues. When highlighting it will sometimes not highlight, but duplicate what you are trying to highlight. And sometimes it will make the whole section/day white and blank. Otherwise this would be a great app. ### 3/5 — Sabbath School Quarterly app *2024-07-06, version 2.02* I like the features of the sabbath school quarterly but the calendar function and ‘jump to a certain date’ do not work; on iPhone with latest iOS ### 3/5 — Good but…. *2024-05-25, version 2.02* This app has the potential to be very good. Maybe it’s not across-the-board but often times when I go to highlight items it doesn’t highlight them. It just duplicates everything I selected for highlighting and re inserts so it’s there twice. This happens at least 50% at the time to the point where I don’t even like to highlight. it would also be nice if your own that you add between paragraphs if you could modify or change the font. Otherwise it’s quite helpful. ### 4/5 — Great app, but have a question *2024-04-07, version 2.02* I have use this app before and honestly I have enjoyed it a lot. I am bilingual and I remember that in the settings, this app could be changed from English to Spanish. while I do see that the app can be still be changed to Spanish, it appears that it is much outdated on that side. Are there any plans to continue develop this lesson in that language also? ### 4/5 — Great app but . . . *2024-03-25, version 2.02* I have been using this app for years and love it. However, there is one flaw that is very annoying. Many times when I try to highlight text, even when I choose a color, it will copy the text and paste it back into the study and I cannot delete it. This happens on my android phone as well as on my iPad. Is there a fix for this that I am missing? ### 4/5 — ? Prejudice *2024-03-24, version 2.02* I am English-speaking, but my wife speaks Spanish. I have tried to use the app in Spanish. However, the studies have not been updated for a couple years. I find that inexcusable. Otherwise, I personally enjoy the app. ### 4/5 — Only one thing… *2024-03-24, version 2.02* Love the app…just would request you publish the next quarter much earlier. We are on the last lesson of the quarter and you still haven’t published the next quarter yet. Teachers have no way of preparing ahead. Thank you. ### 3/5 — Need to update to 2024 lesson in spanish *2024-03-14, version 2.02* This app does not have an up to date 2024 spanish version. Please update the spanish version because I really like this app. ### 4/5 — Almost There *2024-01-02, version 2.02* I persisted with this app because dispute all its issues it was the best and I liked the addition of the mission story every Friday. It now has improved considerably. It downloads fine now and does not need to be reinstalled. The weird additions to the text are no longer there. I like the colour change for each quarter, though I’d like to choose my own colour but that’s just me. The only think that needs tweaking are the links to the bible verses. Sometimes they are incorrect. I feel I can finally donate to the app, which I have done. ### 3/5 — iPad version issue *2023-12-30, version 2.02* My phone app is great but the iPad version doesn’t have the option to look at last weeks or any previous weeks lesson. Why is this? It’s the same app. And I can see better on the iPad. Update: For some reason my app did not tell me it needed updating. Did that and now it does what I was looking for. ### 4/5 — Very nice…BUT! *2023-12-15, version 2.02* I really enjoy this app. It solves the iPad mini 6 problem of challenging scaling for the official sabbath school app, which does not respond to iPad accessibility settings for the font sizes. Which brings me to the “but”! I would love to see the font settings on this app also apply to the Bible! I can get the font size just perfect for the sabbath school lesson itself, but when I tap a Bible link, the print of the Bible is soooooo super small that it’s very difficult to read…at least for my old eyes. If you can fix that so that the font choices in settings also apply to the Bible, that would be awesome! The only other thing missing that we get in the official app is the Spirit of Prophecy lesson helps. Right now, I copy them over from the official app to this one, but it would be wonderful not to have to go through that extra step. Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Notes Problem *2026-07-17, version 2.1.2* Hi. I hope you guys fix the issue when doing notes. It vanished everything after going back the main page. I’m just disappointed. Thankyou ### 1/5 — Missing Scripture *2024-12-15, version 2.1.0* The scripture link to John 19:19 is missing the words that Pilate wrote. “And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, .” When I link on my iPad, the words “JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEW” is missing. ### 1/5 — Help *2024-05-21, version 2.02* I can’t get it to high light. ### 1/5 — Editing *2023-05-13, version 1.9.43* This quarter, 2nd Qt, is really messed up. Words run together, paragraphs run together and are mixed up ### 1/5 — KJV *2023-05-06, version 2.02* No option for the KJV of scripture ### 1/5 — The Message is NOT a bible! *2023-04-10, version 2.02* In the newest iteration, Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase is listed as a bible option. IT OS NOT A BIBLE!!! ### 1/5 — Audio not working properly *2023-04-04, version 2.0.0* The newest version as of 4/3/23 needs the audio fixed. The volume is very very low when I play it on my iPhone 14 max pro and it won’t play through my Bluetooth headset. The previous version of this app worked fine but this version doesn’t. 😢 ### 1/5 — Volume is terrible *2023-04-03, version 2.0.0* The new changes in the app have done something to the volume level so I have my iPhone turned up to the max and cannot hear anything above a whisper. I would rate you with five stars however, it's impossible to utilize the audio which is important to me, so you only get one for this particular issue other than that I will give you for more stars. ### 1/5 — What happened? *2023-04-02, version 1.9.43* I have used this app for many years on I-pad and android. Have found it very useful and even contributed several times. However on the latest (2nd quarter 2023) have found several areas where test is so garbled that It is ope you can correct that so that we can enjoy the previous sxcellenceee. ### 1/5 — Not happy with this app. *2023-02-03, version 1.9.43* I wish these people would be more reliable. When you need them most, the lesson is not there yet. Like right now they haven’t download the lesson and we are five weeks away. Also, I would like to see less bugs too many bugs and very unreliable people. Sorry to say that, but to me it’s important that you’ll be there on time, when I need my lesson ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — There is problem with Bible not finishing a verse *2024-05-05, version 2.02* Look up verses by touching text & 1st verse usually doesn't finish until you go back to Bible selection page & then back to Bible text. This is a worry since some people I helped get this app may not realise that any part of the verse is missing! Sometimes when I’m hi-lighting there will be duplication of the sentence & —>or the rest of the page goes ‘GREY’ & I lose the words on the rest of that day altogether!!! ### 5/5 — Link Going to Wrong Bible Verse *2024-04-01, version 2.02* Good morning, First, allow me to say how much I have truly enjoyed using your app. It is informative, and easy to use. I don’t often get to sit down for full-fledged Bible studies, so your app provides me with the self-paced version I need for my schedule. Having said that, I wanted to bring to your attention that the link for 1 Kings 18: 20-21 is going to the book of Genesis. This is one of my favorite set of verses and when I read something different I thought for a split second “Have I been quoting the wrong scripture all this time?” 😀 The link can be found in Monday April 1st lesson Lucifer Decieves; Christ Prevails. Thanks for all you and your staff do. Have a great day, Tamara ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2024-03-29, version 1.9.43* The App is excellent and I've learnt a whole lot from it as a new Adventist at 60 years old. Highly recommended. It will be great if the teacher's section can be added to it. ### 5/5 — You have or you must develop the Spanish version of this app *2023-07-22, version 2.02* You have or you must develop the Spanish version of this app Many people waiting for it ### 5/5 — Notes and highlight *2023-07-04, version 2.02* Would be great to have the auto dictionary option for find words back ### 5/5 — Review *2023-04-02, version 1.9.43* I enjoy the setup of how it all come together. The wake-up alarm ⏰, audio pause and resume, highlighted scriptures allowing you to open and to read right a way. It is the perfect setup 🙌🏽Thank you and the Living God of Host continues the best your efforts to spread His gospel around the world 🌎 ### 5/5 — Love these lessons! *2023-03-05, version 1.9.43* First and foremost love that it’s bible based. Mom used to have a quote as she taught Sabbath school. She’d say “If it’s in the Bible, we want it! If it’s not in the Bible, we don’t want it!” This daily study is different everyday and it delves deeper into Gods word so that we are able to have a better understanding. It has audio, I love that I can hear and read along at the same time. That way the little ears around me pick up on what I’m studying. Thank you and God bless! ### 5/5 — Welcome in the 2020’s! *2023-02-13, version 1.9.43* The Sabbath School quarterly is so easy to use, with all passages linked to the internal bible making all searches easy! You can also switch to the teacher part as easily without using another app. I recommend to all believers, brothers and sisters in Christ! ### 5/5 — Spiritual Food!!! *2023-02-03, version 1.9.43* I am truly in love with this app. I appreciate the fact that I can add my personal thoughts and highlight any portion that jumps out at me. It really encourages me to study even when I’m on the go. God bless. ### 5/5 — It’s awesome ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2023-02-01, version 1.9.43* Besides the fact that it’s free, it’s full of awesome features! I love the fact that I can pass the page like a book, I can highlight like a book, I can add my notes and when I have a Bible text I can click on it and it opens the Bible texts! It’s so easy and delightful to study the lesson and not miss a beat! Love it!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
