I love the songs,the psalms, reflections and everything.. It is short and just what I need early to open my day. However in this last week or more, my dates had been one day behind. The most recent example was this Sunday. It was already Sunday, I’ve gone to mass, I’ve gone through my day and it’s still Saturday podcast. Then around 9 pm it finally changed to Sunday . But Sunday was almost over. Please help me either to make an adjustment on the day or the time that I had scheduled which is at 7 o’clock in the morning. Thank you so much 😊. God bless you all and I’d shared this to many friends. ### 5/5 — Excellent App! *2020-06-17, version 2.0* Highly recommend! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Thank you *2020-06-11* Thank you Fr Ron for the gift of this podcast. I listen to it in the morning whilst watching the gorgeous wee goldfinch in my garden. I feel blessed you said Mass at OLOL whilst I was there, and heard from you about The God Minute. ❤️ ### 5/5 — Simple and encouraging.... *2020-05-15, version 2.0* I This has become my first prayer devotion of the day. Thank you all ! ### 5/5 — I love the God Minute app, *2020-02-20* I love the God Minute podcast. It is so inspirational. I look forward everyday to relax and listen to the God Minute podcast.

I look SO forward to it every morning, when getting ready for the day 💙 Beautiful in every way!! One thing , though since the app update. I used to get the notifications with the Church bells, now it sounds like a plain notification. Would LOVE to have the church bells back , if possible! Thank you for this Awesome App! 🙏🏻💙 ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-05-09* This is a great app that brings Jesus into your life daily with reminders to be thankful for all we have, I highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Beautiful way to start your day☕️ *2019-03-16* What an incredibly quieting app. So happy I found this, it help me focus on the important One. ### 5/5 — St. Jude people where you at? *2019-03-06, version 1.0.8* Just making sure y’all are making time for God ### 5/5 — Get your day started in the right Spirit! *2019-03-05* Superb! I love this app and that it reminds you to re-center on what is really important. This might be a new thing to do for Lent. Refocusing during the day to remind us how good God is a good habit to start. Blessings to Fr. Hoye and his Vincentian colleagues. Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No notifications *2021-07-04* This app used to send God moment notifications a few times daily but those have since stopped. This happened with the old app as well. Please bring it back! It was a much welcomed reminder throughout the day. ### 1/5 — Can’t open app *2020-12-18, version 2.0* I love this app the first few weeks. Content is beautiful but now I can’t open it at all. What is going on staff at The God minute. Please fix i looked forward to it. ### 2/5 — So very sorry *2024-10-04* I love Fr Ron and the entire team. While travel abroad, the app stopped working for me in September and does not work now that I have returned. I have been a parishioner since inception of the program but since the app crashes every time I attempt to use it, I am deleting it. God Bless. ### 2/5 — Background Image *2022-10-06, version 2.0.17* Not sure I would choose alter boys as the image in the background on the app. I am a Christian but rightly so we need to be careful how we project the image of children serving god and obeying (priests) ### 2/5 — God Monents *2019-01-06, version 1.0.8* Why don’t I get the the right day. It’s the sixth and I am getting the fifth. Also the reminders all always the same day and readings? ### 3/5 — No sound *2022-10-07, version 2.0.17* I have this installed on iPhone 7 and have no sound. On iPad I get sound. ### 3/5 — What happened to the reminder times that were in the original version? *2021-07-01* Please update the current version of the app to again include the ability to set up reminder times with those lively church bells. 🙏🏽 ### 3/5 — Frustrated *2020-12-17, version 2.0* I love this app but now it will not open up. When I tap on the icon it just blinks and closes immediately. I still get my prayer reminders though. ### 4/5 — Poor orientation *2022-10-19* I do not like that the app opens in portrait orientation and it cannot be changed. Other than that I truly love the app. The developers of this app should make it changeable to how a person likes to hold their iPad. ### 4/5 — New app *2021-06-14* It is beautiful as was the other app, however I can’t share it with my no catholic friends, or catholic friends. I’m not use to this app yet. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2024-08-30* I just downloaded this app based on the recommendation of a friend. I love it so much already. Especially concert Friday!! I can tell this app is really going to deepen my relationship with God. Thank you for all of the hard work, time and dedication that is going into making this app and presenting such beautiful reflections. God Bless you all!!! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-06-07* My husband turned me into this app and I really enjoy listening every morning on my way into work. It sets my tone for the day and is a lovely reminder of God’s love for all of us. Thank you to all involved for putting this together! It is much appreciated! ### 5/5 — Reinstall *2022-10-20* I had to delete the app from my phone because of issues. Tried to reinstall it now it says I have to purchase it. A little confused ### 5/5 — Giving thanks ✝️ *2022-10-17* Thank you all for a beautiful blessed way to start the day, giving thanks to God for another day of life and all that he has done for us, I’ll be sharing this app with others. ### 5/5 — Pray beautiful indeed *2022-09-25* So I started listening to this every morning about a year ago, and it really is beautiful. It has become an important part of my prayer life. Thank you to everyone who work hard to make this available to us. ### 5/5 — Awesome Ap! *2022-08-04* Every time I share it with someone they also want to download it! It is an excellent start to a beautiful day! Or squeeze it in whenever you can during the day! ### 5/5 — The best way to start your day 🤗 *2021-08-31* I love this app. For my it’s a way to start the day with God in my mind. The God Minute team helps me to focus on my faith in the middle of the chaos that we see and hear every day. ### 5/5 — Spiritually Enriching *2021-06-24* A year ago, a colleague of mine suggested I might enjoy listening to The God Minute. I downloaded the app and have now altered my morning routine to ensure I have time before work to spend 10 minutes with Father Ron and the team. I can’t even begin to tell you how this daily devotion has infiltrated into my family, my work, my conversation with friends and, in fact, into the essence of who I have become. I more openly and confidently share my Catholic Faith and I have a deeper understanding of some of the traditions of the Catholic Church. I am 55 years old, have practiced my faith my entire life but feel, through the God Minute ministry, I am actually becoming a living example of my faith to others. It is a beautiful thing. Michele from Canada ### 5/5 — Reminders *2021-06-04* Hello there! My name is Nelly And I just got the App. I have been hearing it through Email being sent to me daily. I just got the App and My quest is, How can I get a reminder on my App? I understand there is a reminder with church Bells... or chants. How can I get that also? Sincerely, Nelly Cantu ### 5/5 — God Minute *2020-12-17* Must have, outstanding, daily usage, wonderful reflections. Applicable to personal daily life. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
