Wonderful, Rich Bible Study App
I absolutely love this app! Everything for my BSF study is in one place, making it so easy to stay organized and engaged. My favorite feature is being able to listen to the notes in the car. The studies are thoughtful, in depth, and I especially love the Prepare and Reflect sections. Beautifully designed and a wonderful tool for growing deeper in God’s Word. Highly recommend!

Great idea, not so great execution
I love the idea of BSF offering a separate study. The content is great and it is keeping me in the Word through the summer. But I’m frustrated by the fact that it doesn’t keep track of my progress and keeps presenting previous week studies as the current study. I’m pretty sure I’m not using it incorrectly. I work in mobile app development (specifically quality assurance) so I’m very familiar with mobile app UX/UI. I love being in Gods Word in the time between BSF sessions but I don’t like feeling frustrated every time I use this app.

Landscape View
It’s frustrating and difficult answering the questions in the vertical mode. Makes the study difficult.
Needs some work
I love the content, but do not like the functionality of the new app. It always goes back to week 1 and you basically have select next to advance through to where you left off. I’m not sure if it is the lesson or the app. As I recall, the old app saved where you left off, even if it was in the middle of notes. Anyways, I find it cumbersome to use now.

Needs Paid Software Developers
BSF runs on volunteers and this is an area where it is hurting them. I’m sure an organization of this size (who just built a new headquarters) can afford to pay real software developers. The glitches in this app are still not resolved after one year—silly ones like formatting in the text. As a BSF group leader who uses WordGo to lead studies in the summer, it does not reflect well on an organization I believe in and love so much. None of my summer study participants come to BSF and it does not make for a persuasive invitation when we spend a good portion of our time lamenting the digital challenges of this app.

Response from developer
Hi MotherGoose_005, my name is James, and I'm the Product Manager for WordGo at BSF. Thank you for your leadership and for your heart for this ministry. I sincerely apologize that the technical experience has been a distraction from your studies; I know and want to honor how important that time is. I want to share that we released a major update two weeks ago to improve stability, and there is another update arriving in June dedicated specifically to fixing text formatting issues. I would love to follow up with you directly to make sure we’ve caught all the issues your group has faced. Would you mind emailing me at: info@wordgo.org? I will monitor that inbox for your reply. I’m committed to making this right for you and your group. Best regards, James A (WordGo Product Manager)
Wordgo for Small Group Bible Study
I personally really enjoyed using WordGo for our ladies’ small group. We used it for two different studies. One on Ruth and another on Colossians. It was so helpful having everything organized in one place, along with the ability to share our answers and posts with the group. I especially appreciated being able to read others’ responses and gain different perspectives. Once I got used to the navigation, I found it very user-friendly and easy to use. I would definitely recommend it for group Bible studies!

App update ruined it
Used to love this app, but the redesign ruined it. No more gathering option, more bugs, worse UI. Very frustrating
Making an account
I wish I could use the app by using username and password as before and not using apple sign in or google sign in. I don’t want to connect my account that way so I will not be able to use the app or the Bible studies
So good!
A great app that helps me build my faith in Christ! I love the noted and the ability to study with others. It’s a great app!
Needs name/password login
This needs an option to login without using google or apple. Some of us need to protect our privacy and not have everything linked.
Great Bible Study
Just need to work out the little bugs with text spacing, sizing and a few missing questions.
Disappointed
This app is not user friendly. It is hard to use and reading the scripture is challenging as many words run together. The old Wordgo app was much better.
Fire Your Consultants and the Executive Who Hired Them…..
….and bring back the last version of the app.
I agree with all previous negative comments, (but not their “4-star” grades). You guys really laid an egg and you know it but you pushed this anyway because you want to build ‘community’. That’s great, but you ruined the vehicle in the process.
I’ll add to the list of complaints—trouble opening the app on different public WiFi’s like in hotels and hospitals. Too often I have to turn off WiFi and rely on data….and I’d better have 4 bars to make it work.
Time to find another Bible Study. When you dump this one and go back to the old let me know. That was a 5-star app.

Love it
I had the older version and didn’t realize it could get even better! Perfect for both solo and group Bible study. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to spend more time in the Word and deepen their faith.
Great study app
This is a great app to keep one studying God’s word on a daily basis and it only takes about 15 minutes. The one glitch I would like to see fixed is when I want to hear the lecture and it jumps back to the scripture. It’s a little frustrating when you are trying to read along with the speaker. Another problem is that every day when I go to use the app, it does not come back to where I left off and I have difficulty finding the next days lesson. It would be a great app if these things would get fixed.

Great study
This revised app is better than the first version. However, it would be better in landscape and the layout like BSF study app.
More like a devotional
Questions are not very deep, it’s more like an out of order daily devotional than an in-depth study. There’s not much delving into the word, only questions about yourself. I guess it is free, though…
Can’t log in
Only log-in options are using your Google or Apple accounts. I want to be able to log-in with a UN and PW. I haven’t been able to see app itself because of this. Will I also loose all my data from the old WordGo? This isn’t an update, it’s an entirely new app.
Formatand content good
See where I didn’t put a space in my first 2 words? Well I am reading the Psalms like that! I liked Wordgo 1.0 but this version needs some work. The format and the content is very good I just think that BSF should have put out a better product. They’re not a sloppy company.
Great app - Needs landscape support on iPad
Long time BSF leader and class member. Always loved WordGo since version 1.0. This version is a huge improvement. Only things missing are iPad support for both landscape view and multiple apps running simultaneously.
