Her best known most translated work is Steps to Christ, followed by the 5 conflict of the ages series: Patriarchs and Prophets, Prophets and Kings, Desire of Ages, Acts of the Apostles, and The Great Controversy. Ellen G. White is also credited as the co-founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Ratings and reviews

The app, whether for Android or Windows 11, is defunct unless you just want to read or listen. Try to get around to look things up is very difficult as they do not have it organized with hyperlinks. You have to scroll the whole way to find what you need ,(ex: concordance: start with "A" and scroll until you find the "N's") no quick direct=wasted time. Trying to search a word from home page will bring results but trying to link to it brings blank page each time. Please hire new web designer.

This was undoubtedly the most difficult version of the EG white app that I've ever seen. Very difficult to navigate through. Searching for a certain passage or quote is very difficult and confusing. The older version really was much better and it's a shame that it wasn't updated to be used with these newer phones. I don't rate this at all. Very good.

This app is very simple but extremely useful. I love the search feature and the cloud feature. Each update gives you more features so I'm glad they are continuously improving. I have been using it for over 2 years. It gives you the entire collection of EGW at your fingertips. My only sole gripe is that you can't modify the audio to read at faster speeds. My preferred listening rate is 2x or 3x and neither are available. Once they provide this feature, I will update my review to 5 stars.
