## What is Twelve?

Our desire is to see every follower of Jesus spend time in the Word of God daily. We believe that your life will be transformed by knowing who God is and how He has redeemed us through Jesus Christ.

Reading scripture every day is crucial to knowing God and what He desires for our lives. (1 John 2:3-6)

Simply put, to know what God desires requires us to read His Word. Furthermore, it's not only about reading those words, but applying them to our lives, teaching them to each other, and meditating on them day after day. (Deuteronomy 6:6-9)

But let's be honest, consistently reading the Bible can be a challenge. That is why we believe accountability is a powerful method to build a rhythm of reading Scripture.

Our simple app allows you to share a picture of what you read each day and have a conversation about it with everyone in your small group. Every day is an opportunity to encourage, listen, and deepen our relationships with each other and with Christ. By immersing ourselves in the Scriptures and consistently walking in the Spirit we will be transformed into His likeness (2 Cor. 3:18).

HOW IT WORKS
*Snap a daily photo of what you read*
Each day, each person in your group can upload a picture of what they read. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. The photo can include just a few verses or the entire page.

*Start a conversation*
As the people in your group share photos of what they have been reading, you have the opportunity to start conversations that allow the group to grow and learn together.

*Stay accountable throughout the week*
Checking in daily will help your group keep each other accountable. Twelve makes it easy to see who has read at a glance and how you did as a group each week.

*Manage your group and notification preferences*
You can change your group name, invite people, and manage notification preferences from your group settings.

### 4/5 — Profile pics constantly disappear

*2024-04-20*

Our youth group uses this app for accountability, and we’ve recently started a group with our long distance adult friends too. We love the app for the most part. I will say, It’s driving me absolutely NUTS that I have to reupload a new profile photo every week or so because it just gets deleted? Like not the photo of my study but my little profile photo so people knows who is posting what. Everyone has to do this because it gets deleted and replaced with a question mark. So annoying. I do wish you could see the past posts, but I’d honestly just be happy to get the profile photos issue fixed. I would also love to upload my study photo to multiple groups at once.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-03-12*

This app really is amazing and unique. It puts everything in one place, from being able to see that your friends are in the word, and if you aren’t physically with them, to talk about it! I love the accountability it brings. God bless you guys!

### 4/5 — Super! But a needs a few things

*2024-03-03*

It’s pretty good app. However it’d be nice if a few things were added. 

1. We can choose the exact passages we read in our daily posts. When we share a picture we can only chose the book and one of the chapters. It’s be nice if we could put multiple chapters and verses. For example I read today “Exodus 1-7” but I was only able to put “exodus 1”

2. When there are multiple people in the group chat, it would be helpful to be able to “@“ them to directly talk with them

3. It’d be cool to have a comment section in the posts we make. So that the group chat messages are more organized. 

But overall this a really recommended app. Thank you for making it!

### 4/5 — Works great!

*2024-01-30*

Love the app and the concept behind it! A couple additions that would improve the app: Being able to respond to messages in a thread-like way and also react to messages with an emoji.

### 5/5 — very Practical and Wellmade

*2024-01-25*

This app has been so useful for me!  It was shared with me by a friend and it has really helped me to stay accountable and read the Bible.  It’s easy to use, has simple features.  Overall an awesome app :)

### 5/5 — Wonderful App!

*2024-01-13*

My family, friends, and I have recently started using this app to encourage each other everyday in our Scripture reading. I would love to see another update that would fix some of the bugs I’ve noticed, such as profile pictures and names disappearing. 

I really do believe this app has the potential to be something more :)

### 5/5 — Twelve helps

*2024-01-05*

Twelve is an awesome app that has helped me and my friend hold each other accountable to reading the Bible daily. It does that perfectly because you have to post scripture you read every day and the person/people in the group can see if you’ve posted or not

### 2/5 — Good but….

*2023-11-16*

I LOVED this app, I downloaded it two days ago, but it keeps logging me out? I keep getting notifications for the groups I’m in but when I open the app it won’t let me move past the “join a group” or “create a group” page. I don’t wanna do that again though because I have established groups that are full so I can’t get back in. 

In theory, great app. Doesn’t work though

### 5/5 — Awesome Accountability App

*2023-08-07*

This is an awesome app for groups to keep each other accountable for reading the Bible daily! It’s simple and effective.

### 4/5 — Serves a Purpose

*2023-08-06*

Overall the app fills the need we were after. I have only one complaint after the week is over, a new week begins and you no longer see the prior week. The thought process I believe being to be in the moment and not look at the past. This is great, however, I think it should be handled differently. Part of my group was in the middle of a late night discussion and the clock for a new week rolled over, which deleted our conversation so those who missed it were out of the loop and missed what was going on. Instead of deleting an entire week, I think it would better if the 7th day past instead gets deleted, so you can still look over the previous 6 days conversations, regardless of the days of the week.
