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.

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!

The First5 app Bible study app is literally life-changing. As its name says, it allows you to take a few minutes, perhaps your first minutes of the day, and spend time in God’s Word. I love it, the teachers are insightful and truly make you think.

My suggestions for improvements are minor; I will continue using the app even if these features remain the same:
1) I wish users could be alerted to comments *for them* from other users. When I comment on a post currently, the app notes it in the top right corner, with a circle that remains at 0 but changes number to reflect responses to your comment—- except they’re not all responses to your comment. They’re responses to *every* comment on that post. I would like to just be alerted when it is a direct response to a comment I made. When it’s a post that has received lots of comments, the number of alerts is high.
2) In the My Moments section, a question is usually asked and users can provide a comment. Sometimes, I like to see the original phrasing of the question but when I scroll up, the app brings up a mini-menu “Discard Comment?” And then 3 choices: Yes/Save for Later/Cancel. I would like to be able to scroll up without the interruption of the menu.

Thank you again for all your work on this app. It’s tremendous and I’m thankful for it.
