### 5/5 — Great tool for the Bible and news

*2026-04-01*

I’m so grateful I came across this. We started using this when my husband and I wanted to study the Bible Tony Perkins has so much biblical knowledge, and Really makes the Bible so much easier to understand . We are grateful to have a place to get news from a biblical perspective and a way to study the Bible. Thank you for this !

### 5/5 — Solid Ground to Stand On!

*2025-06-24*

I appreciate the straightforward information that I can get on this app that stands in agreement with other sources, and witnesses to what the Holy Spirit is telling me and helps me to pray accurately, believing God for his increase and his strength in our nation. Thank y’all.
In Him,
Eph. 1:7

### 4/5 — Blank Screen

*2025-06-22*

I have tried using the app, but, for the past two days, the screen has been blank, no matter what I do. I read another review of someone else experiencing the same issue.

### 5/5 — The App is blank

*2025-06-19, version 3.7.0*

There was an update recently and the Stand Firm app on both my iPad and android phone opens but the only shows a blank white page. The same thing happened to my friends app. Can someone advise me on how to fix this?

### 1/5 — Clear political agenda

*2025-06-12*

I enjoy the religious content, but All too often it’s inserted with bigoted political opinions. The good content is also hidden behind just as big as it and politically charged articles intended to sow hate and division. It’s a shame people can’t separate religion and focus on the good. I wish y’all would focus on the positive and drop your hateful biases.

### 5/5 — Great App for Belivers!

*2025-02-17*

Having a community of believers to do daily devotions with has helped my family and I remain consistent with the word

### 4/5 — Operation Prayer Shield

*2024-12-05*

The daily guides are rarely up to date for morning devotions.  Is there something I can update to get them sooner?  Thanks

### 5/5 — FRC

*2024-11-07*

We really like FRC’s biblical approach in delivering news coverages and updates; in a way that the public can understand. Your guest speakers also bring light to whatever news you’re presenting. 

Thanks so much Tony P. and Team.

### 1/5 — Impossible to create account

*2024-10-22, version 3.3.0*

Not efficient enough to allow verification of my email address. I’m caught in a circle of inefficiency! Waste of time. Too bad!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2024-08-07*

Fantastic news, very trustworthy, very insightful & inspiring.
