First 5 4+

For me, it’s always been difficult to find ways to connect with God. I’d try bible studies, devotionals, scripture time, reading the Bible, etc…but no routine seemed to “stick”. I would struggle to get the study done, finding enough time, or simply connecting to the material. Sure, some worked better than others, but it wasn’t until I started this app that I began to connect with God on a regular basis…and when I say “connect,” I mean “CONNECT”. It’s been truly life-changing for me, personally.
I appreciate every aspect of this app. The lessons are shorter, but they are deep and rich. They are soothing and calming. There is built-in time in the lesson for you to think and reflect. I so enjoy the message content and Craig’s approach and guidance. I connect with God regularly in sweet and meaningful ways. It has been really amazing.
Thank you Craig and the First15 team for what you do. It’s beautiful and impactful. I will be forever grateful.

Aesthetically pleasing and calm vibes come from this app, but I have encountered a few issues and have some suggestions. I reached out to customer service and Angie clarified a few things - the 'current plan' is the one that will show upon opening the app and when clicking the 'First 5' button on the bottom toolbar, however wish that wasn't the case. I feel it would be more beneficial for the plan that shows upon app opening should be the one the user is currently following. The current plan isn't relative to me at this moment and feel that in order to keep the app as close to the heart as possible it should allow for more customization. The app also defaults to the ESV, but it would be a lot more user friendly if all throughout the app the version displayed would be the one selected in the options menu rather than the pre-selected one. Again, takes away from the customization feel of it all. Lastly, the app is glitchy! Sometimes I come to a white, blank screen and other times the app is far outstretched to where the wording is cut off. I have to force close and reopen that app to try and load it correctly; I shouldn't have to restart my entire device as suggested. So, it's safe to say that the app needs stabilization and am considering deleting and possibly redownloading at a later time. I genuinely enjoy the feel of the app and am hopeful for fixes, but it's too wonky at the moment.

I love this app! I have been using it consistently for 2 years....every day! It’s easy to open up the app find your devotion for the day. It’s goes chapter by chapter each day for a book of the Bible. I use the Bible Gateway app and have the chapter for the day read to me in dramatized version so I know who is talking. I then love to dig deep on how God is speaking to me trough this chapter and the devotion written on the app. You can go really deep and read the more section and look up all the verses. I love the comments section as well. People mostly women comment by answering the question of the day as to what God taught them through this. This is one of my favorite parts because you learn you are not alone in your relationship with God and other people have struggles and victories as well! On the weekends is a video teaching that is always perfect! Thank you first 5 you have helped me in my relationship with God!
