### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-02-25, version 2.8.7*

This is the best devotional app ever! John piper really has made a great app!

### 4/5 — Great resource! Tiny modification request

*2025-09-16*

The app is amazing, and I love the daily devotionals, John piper and DesiringGod is a great spiritual resource!

but I do have one source of feedback, the app logo looks similar to a swastika, at first glance it threw me off, I can see after looking at it, it is an S and a J  for the apps name, but it may need a slight redesign?

### 5/5 — So good!

*2023-05-08, version 2.8.7*

Just excellent!

### 5/5 — Such a blessing

*2021-12-17, version 2.8.7*

Thank you

### 4/5 — Great App

*2020-05-25, version 2.8.7*

Great app, and helps with ones spiritual journey, but it would be more helpful if you receive the daily notification irrespective of you reading the previous days devotional or not. 

Currently, if you miss a day, you don't get a notification until you open up the app

### 5/5 — Grateful!

*2020-04-12, version 2.8.7*

Thank you for this quick devotional based on ‘solid’ Biblical truths, reminding us to look to our amazing King, Jesus.

### 5/5 — 한글-영어 대조기능

*2020-04-09, version 2.8.7*

귀한 작업해주셔서 감사합니다~
한 화면에서 영어와 한글을 화면분할로 같이 보거나 
또는 각 문장마다 한영 또는 영한이 대역으로 제시되면 좋겠습니다!실제 영어표현도 궁금하고, 영어공부도 되고 그럴것 같아서요 ㅠㅠ 정말 부탁드려요~~!

### 5/5 — 감사합니다

*2020-03-13, version 2.8.6*

너무너무너무 좋아요💜

### 5/5 — solid joys로 하루의 영적인 삶이 즐겁습니다

*2020-02-26, version 2.8.6*

항상 주님안에서 승리할 수 있게 흔들어 깨워주는 든든한 선생님입니다 감사합니다

### 4/5 — Love the content but

*2019-11-13*

It is a great devotional to wet the appetite for more of God. Many times I am pondering certain point and thoughts and talking with God about them. I like that it is short and to the point. I also like that I can click on a link to see the fuller message or which book it is coming from. 

I love that I can click on the share button and open it in Safari and Pastor John has a recording where he is reading it himself with emphasis and inflection! What I don't like is for iPhone XR I have a hard time hitting the share and favorite button because it is in that area with the speaker or front camera. I have to hit it like 20 times before it will do anything. All my other apps that I use that space for works fine so I'm thinking it is the app.
