## What is The M'Cheyne Plan?

19th Century Scottish minister, Robert Murray M’Cheyne, (sometimes spelled McCheyne), developed a daily Bible reading plan for readers to work through the New Testament and Psalms twice a year, and the Old Testament once. There are approximately 4 reading selections per day in this plan.

### 1/5 — What Happened????

*2026-03-22*

I started using this app about 3 years ago and it worked great! In 2025 it stopped holding my reading place and would start over almost every other day! I’ve thrown it out and reloaded it 
and tried everything that I could try within the app. The problem still hasn’t been fixed. Sadly, there is no REAL way to contact the developer. The website in the App Store leads to a page about the developer with no way to inquire. HELP! I love this app and would like to keep using it without the daily frustration.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2025-10-07*

Thanks so much for making this! One question, it seems the time zone, for when the date/day changes, may not sync with the users location. I’m on EST time (US east coast) and the day rolls over around 08:00am. Was wondering if there is an easy way to update this to 12:00am user time? Regardless, I really appreciate the app, thanks for helping keep me in the word!!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2025-09-16*

It’s a simple great app. Only request would be that there is an option for the 2 year version of the plan. That’s how I’m using it now.

### 4/5 — So easy

*2025-07-22*

Love this app as it’s so easy to use and simple to keep track of my readings. It loses a star as the new update has really irritatingly changed the screen size and I can only just see the circles to check off once the reading has been completed. Please can it be resized back to the original setting?!?!? Otherwise this is a great and simple app.

### 4/5 — Doesn’t fit the screen anymore

*2025-05-13*

Since the upgrade a few days ago, it doesn’t seem to fit the whole screen and you can hardly see when you wanna mark ‘read’

### 5/5 — Electronic version of the paper

*2025-04-13*

Does exactly what I was looking for! Thanks Lord for this gift!

### 4/5 — A little glitchy since Leap Day

*2024-03-25*

I have been using the M’Cheyene reading plan four almost 20 years. The app had been really handy for keeping track as prior I was using a printout I kept in the back of my Bible, but it’s been pretty glitchy since the most recent update for Leap Day this year.  Hopefully it gets addressed soon.

### 1/5 — Can’t keep track

*2024-03-18*

Today is March 18. App says today is 17. Fills in buttons by itself on previous days so you can’t go back to read one you didn’t get to as it fills in all. If you set start date today, it resets to self paced. No link to read scripture portion.

### 5/5 — Great, Clean App

*2023-12-30*

Straightforward, clean UI, makes it easy to track the reading plan without reading on your phone.

**Developer response:** Glad you’re enjoying the app :)

### 5/5 — Works perfect for 1 year plan

*2023-12-06*

Great, simple, does exactly as it needs. Perhaps an ability to select either the 1 or 2 year plan might be a nice addition.

**Developer response:** Great suggestion! I’ll look into adding this for a future update
