I did look at a few but this one by far is the most beautiful. As you open each day you’re greeted by a beautiful photograph, scripture passages, prayer as well as the daily devotional reading. Who would’ve thought that Streams in the Desert could get even more beautiful! ### 5/5 — Very Encouraging... *2020-04-26* The verses and thoughts each day seem to be just the encouragement that I need for that specific day.

I also didn’t want a physical book because I commute and travel and don’t want to carry extra weight. This app is very simple and straightforward. It opens directly to the current day and doesn’t bother you with alerts, constant updates, pushes to share on social media, etc. It has some basic settings that can be changed and I think that is great. The focus is on making the reading experience streamlined. Thanks for providing this service. ### 5/5 — Hi *2019-09-09* Good app ### 5/5 — Streams In The Desert *2019-09-05* The is my favorite app. It is a “go to” resource after reading the Bible.

I wish I knew words big and beautiful enough to express my love for this old book and now on the iPad. I am 76 years old and have loved this book since a child. My minister Father would read this daily and expound on it and would teach me the wonder of our precious Lord. I have often thought to meet the couple, even younger, behind it would be a great pearl. I did try to get the audio but must say the speaker did not enhance the book at all! Like I said … my words are not big enough ! ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2022-06-03, version 3.0.1* I don’t often write reviews, but this app is too good to not promote. It is completely ad free and extremely easy to use. Streams in the desert has been my favorite devotional for seven+ years. This digital copy is great for when I don’t have my paper copy with me. ### 5/5 — Close to God！ *2022-04-15, version 3.0.1* Give me strength in the darkness ### 5/5 — Joy *2022-04-07* Thanks for all working in behind to make this blessings possible to all God’s people every morning to start with God’s word to keep trusting God’s faithfulness and redirect our eyes and mind to Him so we will not deceive by the enemy. ### 5/5 — A book that full of love and testimonies which I could not stop reading *2022-03-19, version 3.0.1* I will be still, although I cannot see it, The love that bares a soul and fans pain's fire; That takes away the last sweet drop of solace, Breaks the lone harp string, hides Thy precious lyre. ### 5/5 — Streams in the desert *2022-01-31, version 3.0.1* Really love this app.Tha devotional is very good for the indi dual who wants to draw closer to the Lord. ### 5/5 — Streams in the desert *2021-06-02, version 3.0.1* Love it ### 5/5 — My take on this Stream in the Dessert app. *2021-05-15* I find the remainder to read Stream in the Dessert daily most helpful. That keep me to be diligent and discipline to read it everyday. The app is also helpful to open the right day of the piece that I should spend time with. I first started to read stream in the dessert when I was only a teenager, over fifty years ago and this app helps me to read it without inconvenience. ### 5/5 — Trust *2021-03-10* We must trust the discipline of the Lord. Western Christianity has implied that our lives should be without testing in trial once we become Christians. It is absolutely not true. If we look at our lives in reality we can see that it is the testing of our faith that creates maturity. This devotional reminds me daily that this is the normal Christian life. ### 5/5 — Very good! *2021-02-19, version 3.0.1* Must have!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
