Rather frustrating !!! ### 4/5 — Bible readings *2025-11-04, version 6.10.14* I really like this app, but desperately wish it would give the SoulFood readings with each day’s inspirational passage like the booklets do. ### 4/5 — Search function not working *2025-09-12, version 6.10.14* What a great App but the ‘search’ function hasn’t been working for some time now ### 4/5 — Search function not working *2025-07-06, version 6.10.14* What a great App but the ‘search’ function hasn’t been working for some time now ### 2/5 — Soul food section issue *2024-12-31, version 6.10.14* This was a great app.I used to love being able to click on the Soul Food/Bible in a Year references to go straight to those but no longer have that option.Can this issue please be fixed? ### 4/5 — App and written notes not matching *2024-01-15, version 6.3.1* The SoulFood readings on the app currently do not match the written booklet. I like to swop between the 2 especially whilst travelling. ### 3/5 — Save feature? *2023-09-02, version 6.3.1* I love this app and the content is awesome. It would be great if there was a feature that allowed you to save a specific reading so you can go back to it when you need to! ### 2/5 — Wrong biblical facts *2023-05-07* My first reading of the devotional Word for Today, dated 7 May, 2023, was a disappointment. In the devotional, the writer said ‘Abraham got Hagar pregnant in order to fulfill God’s promise then when Isaac was born a year later, he sent her away without child support.’ In Genesis 16:16 the Bible clearly states that Abram was 86 years old when Ishmael was born and in Genesis 21: 5 he was 100 years old when Isaac was born. That means that Ishmael was 14 years old when Isaac was born. Abraham did not send Hagar and Ishmael away as soon as Isaac was born. They went after Isaac was weaned which was some time after! It is important to know the Bible thoroughly when using it as reference in your devotional. ### 4/5 — “No internet connection “ *2022-10-03, version 5.19.0* The app has been working great and I love being able to listen to it, but recently it has been coming up with the error message that there’s no internet connection when there definitely is. Please could you do a bug fix? Thanks! ### 4/5 — Buggy app *2022-09-24, version 5.19.0* Great content but the app is unreliable. Often end up reading it online instead. ### 4/5 — Soulfood Issue *2022-09-22, version 5.19.0* Great app but the Soulfood section has suddenly stopped working. Error message says refer to developer. ### 4/5 — Not loading *2022-02-28, version 5.17.1* I’ve been reading the The word for today for a numerous amount of years. It is so full filling and such an easy read. Have encourage other to sign up for it. Recently I’ve been reading via the app and it has taken my daily read to another level. Unfortunately since the past week I am able to read the daily word but when I go in to the daily plan it oscillate and won’t load. Please can we you fix the problem. It happens on my iPad and iPhone ### 3/5 — No Soulfood audio *2021-08-28, version 5.14.4* This is a great app but Soulfood audio hasn’t worked for a number of months now. Have been waiting for an update to fix this but ot hasn’t been forthcoming at this stage. Disappointing ### 4/5 — Love this app *2021-07-30, version 5.14.4* It’s easy to use but it would be much better if there was the ability to share on social media. ### 3/5 — Readings great app needs more features *2021-07-30, version 5.14.4* The daily readings themselves are excellent the app though needs to have a way to save/archive favourite readings & highlight parts too so we can go back to them when needed. I hope this gets to the app developers & they can include this feature it would be perfect then. ### 2/5 — Soul food *2021-01-01, version 4.8.1* For the last 2 days I have been unable to get the soul food readings. I tried deleting the app and reinstalled but no change. I get today’s devotional fine but not soul food. Please fix ### 3/5 — downloaded audio files all cannot be played as the app crashes *2020-08-27, version 4.8.1* Word for today download cannot be played as the app crashes when playing the downloaded files. I installed in 3 iPhone devices and the downloaded audio files all cannot be played as the app crashes ### 2/5 — App is slow *2020-08-01, version 4.8.1* I would love to give this a 5 star rating but the dates don’t sync, I can’t scroll up and down as it just won’t budge and it’s so hard to share with others.! The message is always great when I can access it fully! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Audio is not available. *2022-09-21, version 5.19.0* I wonder why ### 1/5 — No more reading out loud :( *2021-03-03, version 5.11.1* After the update you can’t get the reading of the day read aloud which is a bummer ### 1/5 — Dates incorrect... *2020-07-04, version 4.8.1* I’m really struggling with the app as the dates and readings are all out of sync ### 1/5 — Avoid *2019-06-02, version 4.8.1* The worse app EVER from my experience. Have had no option but to delete it and go back to my tried and trusted ‘You Version’ which I adore. I changed for my new wife as she knew no better despite her having the same problem. This app needs to be ripped up and completely redesigned. To use the vernacular...IT’S CRAP. ### 1/5 — Not working! *2017-04-17, version 4.3.1* This app stopped working two days ago. I deleted and reinstalled it but it is still not working. 5 star when it works! ### 1/5 — Stopped Working *2015-01-16, version 3.24.2* I love The Word For Today and this app! I have been using it on iPad since it started but it has recently stopped working. Says I don't have an active internet connection... but I do. Not sure what to do, any help/fix would be appreciated 😃 ### 1/5 — Same as everyone else *2013-06-30, version 3.11.1* I'm in the "loading" gang. Won't open, just "loads" ### 1/5 — Simply doesn't work... *2013-05-07, version 3.11.1* Unfortunately the app doesn't even start properly on my iPad. Never gets past a 'Loading…' message, so I haven't been able access any content on the app at all. ### 1/5 — Loading Loading *2013-03-03, version 3.11.1* All now still loading. I've seen complaints since last year. C'mon people step up. We actually want to use the app. ### 1/5 — Pls update this app!! *2013-01-19, version 3.11.1* Does not work on i05. Keeps saying 'loading'. It is a pity. I hope they can get it fixed eventually but I see others have already had same prob. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Search Bug *2025-03-25, version 6.10.14* nginx error comes up when performing a search. Please fix! ### 5/5 — Search icon not working *2024-09-10, version 6.10.14* I’ve been reading The Word for Today for a long time now and it has truly deepened my relationship with God and strengthened me to utilise my God-given talents. However, the search icon is not working which is a very important feature as it enables me refer back to previous topics whenever needed. Please do something about it soon. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Always on point in its relevance *2024-06-04, version 6.10.3* The lessons always meet me where I’m at in time. I thank God for this ministry. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-07-29, version 6.2.5* Helpful, encouraging words. Enjoyable reading ### 5/5 — Cancelled??? *2023-06-15, version 6.2.3* I tried using the app today and it said it’s cancelled?! ### 5/5 — The Word for Today *2023-06-14, version 6.2.3* Why has this app been canceled. Was shocked to find a box come up saying so and to contact Subsplash to find out why and if at all possible to have it returned. It is such a powerful reading to start the day. Please. What’s happened??? ### 5/5 — Saving the Word *2022-12-10, version 5.21.3* This app has helped keep my mind align with what God is trying to show me. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to save ‘the word’ that I read. ### 5/5 — Thanks *2021-12-02, version 5.16.0* But, once in soul food, it doesn’t open to read the recommended scriptures for the day. ### 5/5 — Relieved *2021-06-02, version 5.13.1* Thank U sooo much for bringing back the audio Bible for the ESV narrated by an American. I rely on this and am so relieved that I can still enjoy it and hav been doing so since U reinstated it. Thank U ☺️ ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-11-07, version 4.8.1* I love this app. I’ve been using it for about 2 years. Sometimes, I feel like it talks to me and relates so much with what may be going on in my life at the time. It’s quotes the bible, gives examples of situations we may face as Christians/people in our day to day. It also has new topics everyday. I recommend. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
