Ratings and reviews

Really on its way! May want to consider the ratio of free to premium content. Compared to other subscription apps there is very little free content, not enough to bring a new user in but can easily be enough to drive them out. The U.I. displays error codes frequently and sometimes goes unresponsive. These errors resolve 9/10 times if I refresh the page. If U.I. issues are an ongoing issue, a simple refresh button would be helpful. I can easily see this app being amazing once it's more stable.

I'm not a Christian but downloaded this app to see if it'd be worth using as a reference material. Good idea, but needs a lot of work. It just seems a little disorganized. The devotional page scrolls and scrolls and scrolls; why not add some filters to make it easier to find the content you're looking for? The search function is improved by the ability to jump to a specific category, but it may also be useful to be able to sort by length or other qualities? I appreciate that you include some Spanish content though. The bible section includes a few different versions for free, including a Jewish version. The Catholic books are there, but the apocrypha are not, which is disappointing. It would be very helpful to have a function for comparing the same text in different translations side by side. The search function seems rudimentary — it sometimes gave me the right results, but several test searches brought up no results at all. The search function would ideally search through all translations of the text to allow you to find a specific passage even if you're only familiar with it in a different translation. If you have the ability to star verses for later, you also need a section in the app to quickly find your favorites again; I could find no such section. If it exists, it's not intuitive to find. The navigation buttons, or at the very least the home button, need to be pinned to every page. If you've gone down some rabbit trails in the bible section (possibly elsewhere too? Didn't look), you have to back out of multiple pages to get back to the home button. Too inconvenient, needs tightening up.

A lot of potential here but it needs some convenience features quite badly. It doesn't have a section which lists your current activities. Instead, you have to scroll back through the sections until you find which ones you were on. Also, if you're listening to a podcast and you minimize the app then your podcast will drop and the app has to restart when you go back to it. They don't need to shy away from "borrowing" some features from Life.Church's Bible app.
