It has truly helped with my quiet time and is a simple way to get back into being consistent with scripture. I love the ways to care for your lamb. It is a little buggy, and the site to report bugs is not working:/ womp, I would love to be able to add more members and friends to my flock and also be able to add and remove so if you see this, please look into adding that feature!! ### 4/5 — Creative but boring *2026-06-28, version 3.1.6* It’s a fun way to learn about God and the Bible but it could be more fun ### 5/5 — So cute *2026-06-26, version 3.1.6* So cute but the prayers are a bit fast to keep up with ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-06-25, version 3.1.6* Every day you go and spend time with God by reading, praying and talking to him I love it and the lambs are so cute ### 5/5 — Great app for daily Bible study *2026-06-24, version 3.1.6* This is a great app. I have been with it since the early days and I really like the way that it motivates you to keep a regular daily Bible reading and prayer habit. The lamb doesn’t show any signs of deterioration anymore though if you miss so you don’t feel as guilty. I miss the Bible study paths too but the more streamlined app will work for most folks. ### 5/5 — Helped me so much *2026-06-18, version 3.1.6* Something I look forward to do everyday!! The daily devotionals always align to my current state and this app has made my life and relationship with God better. I truly can’t recommend it enough . Love it!! ### 4/5 — I like it *2026-06-12, version 3.1.6* It’s good but I think they are a few glitches like I couldn’t finish my phone number which I thought is a bit weird and also I couldn’t like see where the app sent me a code so maybe can you like add something like a guest mode or something that would really help but I like this idea ♥️ ### 4/5 — Little buggy but so good *2026-06-04, version 3.1.6* love that it is free and it's such a calm way to spend time with the Lord. It has truly helped with my quiet time and is a simple way to get back into being consistent with scripture. I love the ways to care for your lamb. It is a little buggy, and the site to report bugs is not working:/ womp, but it is a newer app and the creators are super quick with listening to their consumers:) overall great app! ### 3/5 — Amazing game but why did they delete my streak? *2026-06-03, version 3.1.6* This game was really fun and cute but I have 2 problems when you do the log in for the day it will just spam you with the devotional and if you leave the tab it will just nag 2nd I joined on my iPad and it made me lose my streak I had a 50 day streak and I just lost it for joining on a different device which is really stupid ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2026-06-02, version 3.1.6* Helps me focus on god ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP *2026-05-31, version 3.1.6* I love this app it helpse connect to God and I feel my spirit being cleaned! ### 5/5 — Amazing Christian App! *2026-05-27, version 3.1.6* I love this app because it encourages you to read God’s Word daily. You have the choice in how you would like your daily devotions to look, and I enjoy the responsibility of having my own lamb to look after. Very well thought out app! 🙌🏽 ### 2/5 — Love the app! Functionality not working properly *2026-05-14, version 3.1.6* Love the app but it doesn’t seem like anyone is providing IT support or doing any updates. The last update December 2025. I have had issues and sent numerous emails and filled out a report via Notion Team but the Shepherd app webpage and Bug Support is inactive. ### 5/5 — Very awesome sauce *2026-05-14, version 3.1.6* This is really good for my spiritual growth (especially since i can literally NEVER understand what the bible tryna say to me 😭) but i wanna be able to pet my lamb :((( ### 4/5 — 너무귀엽고 사랑스러워요ㅠㅠㅠ한국어버전 플리즈 *2026-05-13* 한국어 버전도 생기면 진짜 좋을 것 같아요ㅠㅠ ### 4/5 — Amazing App but Needs a Read-Aloud Feature *2026-05-12, version 3.1.6* If I could give this app 5 out of 5 stars, I would.The only issue for me is that I’m Dyslexic,so it’s hard for me to read the Bible.I love that app lets you add notes and talk about bible verses, but I struggle because reading is difficult for me.It would really help if the app had a dyslexic-friendly feature that could read the Bible and Notes out loud.I’m also very busy,so have a audio option would make it much easier for me to use and enjoy the app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No me da *2026-07-10, version 3.1.6* Lo instale pero no puedo registrarme , intento de todas formas y nada , ademas el código de mi país (Bolivia 591) tiene 8 números no nueve , intente con correo con número y nada ### 1/5 — Grandkids *2026-04-06, version 3.1.6* Will not load after every effort ### 1/5 — Help! *2026-03-15* I can't register via phone in the app. How can I register otherwise? ### 1/5 — Somewhat misleading *2026-03-14, version 3.1.6* I have attempted a few times to resolve the sub issue, where the name of the sub says “free trial subscription”. However it is associated with a 79.99 dollar tag. I was trying it for my kids and find that it is useful but not quite value for money. ### 1/5 — It was good *2026-02-07, version 3.1.6* I really enjoyed this app until one Sunday I was at church and my pastor said something really interesting and it made me feel differently about this app. He was talking about how AI isn’t real and can be considered a demon giving you information because it’s not a real person. Therefore can’t have a relationship with Jesus and because most of this app is AI I felt that it was inappropriate to continue using. ### 1/5 — Waste of money - POOR SUPPORT *2025-12-26, version 3.1.6* I have been a user of the app for over 6 months and purchased the subscription in July. After many updates were pushed throughout the fall my subscription has not been honored or restored and support has ignored my requests. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ### 1/5 — Cant receive code *2025-12-06, version 3.1.6* I'm stuck at the verifying page. I already insert my phone number but I couldn't get the verify code. ### 1/5 — IT WILL NOT LOAD *2025-10-12, version 2.0.8* So it says to check your Internet connection and my Internet is perfectly fine, but it will not load my daily Bible verse ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work suddenly *2025-09-15, version 1.9.0* After update 18.6.2 , app asked for login . I create new account , stuck with account creation page and doesn’t do anything anymore . Retry few times and still same . Disappointed ### 1/5 — App is not working *2025-08-19, version 1.4.2* I will update my review when this is fixed but after I tap my age range, it says, “Page Not Found” The attempted route is /onboarding/8 All it tells me is “Go Home” and it is just a repeating process. Please fix this, I would love to try this app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s AMAZING. *2026-08-14, version 3.1.6* It’s so adorable when you gotta feed and grow your lamb from reading and etc🥹it’s probably the best app I’ve ever ever ever downloaded it’s amazing I’d give it a try. You also get to name your lamb and also choose a colour 🥹💞 ### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER.💜 *2026-08-10, version 3.1.6* This app is wonderful I do recommend!! It is the exact concept of creed but 1000x better☺️ ### 5/5 — Jesus loves u *2026-08-05, version 3.1.6* I love apps like this to get closer to God he loves u and is with u Go to Jesus for help with anything ### 5/5 — Jesús *2026-08-05, version 3.1.6* Es un buen lugar ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-07-25, version 3.1.6* It’s really good ### 5/5 — Amo a Jesús *2026-07-18, version 3.1.6* Siento que esta aplicación me ah llevado a conocer más a fondo à Jesús y no recuerdo lo que era mi vida sin el antes ### 5/5 — So good *2026-07-16, version 3.1.6* This app is so good. I definitely recommend it. I feel like I connect with God a little more and I love it so much because it shows how God died for us on cross and it’s really nice.! ### 5/5 — Please consider adding google mail registration so that users in China mainland can benefit! *2026-07-11, version 3.1.6* Thanks and God bless!!! ### 5/5 — I LOVE IT!!🤩🤩🤩✨ *2026-07-08, version 3.1.6* For Christian, I highly recommend this app because it’s so fun and you get closer to the God pretty easy. Just make sure you keep your streets up and you’ll be here in God‘s voice in no time.🤩 ### 5/5 — Verse of the day is blank *2026-07-05, version 3.1.6* I really like this app and it's helped me consistently read the Bible and connect with God. However, some days the global verse of the day doesn't show the whole verse. It's not a deal breaker but definitely something I wish was fixed. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
