Abide - Bible Meditation Sleep 4+

Love it: I have some ideas that I think would make it more intuitive

Hi Abide!
I absolutely love this app and will recommend it to anybody and everybody.
I have a couple of frustrations with it that I would personally love improved! Maybe others resonate with this also, I don’t know!
1. Please can you make some widget options so I/we can add it to our home screen? They can be prayer reminders, mediation reminders, recommendations and just Abide inspired content that would be encouraging for prayer or easy listening in the car etc!
2. Please make it easier to change the background noise by adding in the control section (where you press play pause etc) a little music/quaver “🎶” symbol there also? I often find myself looking for this option and I find it’s placement to be counterintuitive in the moment when I need it! Maybe after more use I’ll get used to it but I think not having one on the play/pause menu can be a little unintuitive, personally.

I listen to this app almost daily before bed and I’ve been using it more and more often on drives, or after having done some bible reading or prayer and I find myself using this app more and more often. I love it! Thanks Abide. 🙏

These are things I would personally find useful!

Thank you so very much for your wonderful review and for your suggestions. Regarding 1. Please know that we currently have a widget that you can add to your home screen, for the daily meditation; unfortunately, there is a bug causing it to be grey, but the tech team is aware of it and working on a fix. On 2. I will add it to our feature request list, so the team can take it into consideration. We truly appreciate all feedback and listen to our users, so we can continue working on enhancing your experience in the app. Please reach out to us at help@abide.com with any suggestions or questions, and we will happily assist you. Abundant blessings to you!!

Love this app!!

This has changed everything! I would go through times of anxiety and first started using this each night to help me sleep...I was always crashed out within 30mins and felt God bring a peace over me in these times.
The daily devotions have been really encouraging and help bring me in line with the Lords perspective.
I have recommended this to as many people as possible and know at least 30 people have respond how much they have enjoyed this app also.
Thanks Abide team for creating this!!!! Walking in so much freedom and love sharing this, knowing it’s helped so many!!

You’ve blocked off all the content?

I’m just so disappointed. I went to log back in and have found that I can no longer access the free 3 minute daily prayer. Paying $60 a year for one app is a big jump, but I really appreciated the free limited access.
As a really lovely, helpful Christian app? I am so disheartened to see the cheap tricks used by many other apps, of a free seven day trial then automatically being charged if you don’t turn it off. I’m afraid to even use the free trial in fear that I’ll get locked in.
I loved this app and used to use it everyday. I’m really devastated that the whole app has now been locked off for those unwilling or unable to sign up for $60 a year.
This is a great app and the creators should be fairly paid, but I would love to see the short daily prayers available again.
