### 5/5 — Shine

*2026-04-17, version 2.0.11*

I like this app. Does what is suppose to.  Wakes u up with scripture!

### 5/5 — Love Starting My Day

*2026-01-27, version 2.0.11*

It is so awesome to wake up listening to Bible verses. I was looking for something like this for a while and found it!! Thanks for this blessing.

### 5/5 — Glory to Yahweh

*2024-12-13, version 2.0.11*

Definitely an encouraging alarm to get up out of bed, recognize the gift of another day and walk in the will of God Almighty, in Jesus Christ name, amen!
I

### 3/5 — Loved it but had to stop..

*2024-11-25, version 2.0.11*

I truly love this app and want to keep using it. However, I wish that the volume slowly increases. I got annoyed very fast when I woke up to this blaring out of my phone on a very loud volume. Please make a “gradually wake up” setting where it starts quiet then the volume increases.

### 2/5 — Nice app

*2023-09-18, version 2.0.11*

I just wish could alternate languages from English to Spanish.

### 3/5 — Decent experience with more potential

*2023-08-17*

I love the thoughtfulness in creating an app like this for Christians - it’s super helpful as a way to start your day with God in the literal sense of that phrase. It could be better with the functionality of how we set the alarms (by allowing the setting of recurring alarms in advance, multiple alarms at once, etc.). Hopefully these get added soon!

### 4/5 — Good idea, needs some improvements.

*2023-07-07, version 2.0.11*

God’s word is a great way to start every morning. Improvements needed: #1: volume adjustment as alarm is sounding. The preset volume is very loud or very quiet. #2 this apps battery usage of %50 in the background during sleep. 1 minute screen time in the last 24hrs is absurd. That’s on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. Huge battery!!

#3 needs more entirety of scripture. So many people are missing out on the big picture in todays social media one liner verses which can be misunderstood or misused without context.

### 2/5 — Alarm sometimes doesn’t go off

*2023-05-10, version 2.0.11*

I set the alarm, my volume goes up, I go to bed, it never goes off

### 3/5 — Hopeful

*2021-12-13, version 2.0.11*

This app has so much potential and I'm hoping the developer is open to ideas. I'm excited

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2021-11-28*

It’s strange this app has so little reviews considering how well designed it is and nice to use. A hidden gem for sure

**Developer response:** Thank you so much!
