No matter when or where, Portals of Prayer inspires you to live each day as a disciple of Christ. Through each daily audio-and-textual devotion, you meditate on God’s Word and see it working through you in your life. New updates allow for a seamless and easy-to-use interface, keeping you focused on your devotional time. What’s New? Welcome to the NEW Portals of Prayer App. There have been many updates to help make your experience seamless, from the subscription feature to how the devotions are displayed. Here’s a list of all the new features: Navigation Bar Two features from the original navigation bar have now moved. The bottom still contains “Devotions” and “Favorites.” “Prayers” has now been renamed “Resources” to better represent its offerings. This tab will still be located on the bottom navigation bar. “Search” and “Settings” have been relocated to the top navigation bar. Devotions An updated design allows for a sleek and modern devotions screen. Press the Play button in the middle of the image to hear your audio devotion. Swipe right or left to see previous or future devotions. Archives Not only can you search based on topic or month, but devotions are now also categorized based on year and quarter to make finding a devotion from the print version that much easier. Resources The “Prayers” tab is now called “Resources” and includes daily prayers, prayers for special occasions, and author biographies. Settings The app now offers a dark mode for your reading convenience. Favorites The app now syncs your favorites across all your devices so long as you use the same Concordia Publishing House account. About Portals of Prayer Portals of Prayer is a quarterly print devotional that has been a favorite for generations of readers. Since 1937, the meaningful daily devotions and ending prayers have offered a daily moment of time with God, comforting believers through their lives. Concordia Publishing House Portals of Prayer App Subscription While the Portals of Prayer App is free to download, you need a subscription to access all the amazing features. A new subscription is $9.99 per year and can be purchased through the app. Here’s what each subscription includes: - Over 10 years of Portals of Prayer content - Daily audio and textual devotions - Meaningful daily prayers - The ability to mark the devotions you like best as “Favorite” Your yearly subscription will auto-renew unless the auto-renew feature is turned off. To avoid being charged with the auto-renewal, it must be turned off at least 24-hours prior to the renewal date. You can see the end date of your subscription in the app’s “Settings” tab. A subscription to the Portals of Prayer App does not, and is not, included in the print subscription to Portals of Prayer. These subscriptions are separate entities.

Voice is repellant.

In a world of podcasts, you think you can get people to listen with that live? Cmon, you can do better than that. I literally had to stop the voice and just read. Very disappointing. Overall, I rate a 3, as the rest of the app is ok. Would like the option of setting up notifications for daily devotions. But all in all, I think the app is good and will continue using it. I hope you can improve on the narrator, possibly give the option of audio speed. That would be great. Thanks for putting this out there, with a little tweaking, it could be something id share outside my Lutheran family.

I have been using Portals of Prayer for my morning devotions for many years. I recently moved to another state and another church which didn't offer Portals of Prayer, so I was very happy to find Portals of Prayer in the Apple AppStore! The app works well, is easy to navigate and offers an audio component. I highly recommend it!

I was introduced to this publication when it was a quarterly booklet avai9lable from Lutheran Churches. Sincve then I progressed to the quarterly onoine subscription, and now an annual subscription. I'm not a Lutheran but read the daily devotionals and morning & evening prayers. I've marked so many messages "Favourites" they could make a book in themselves. They keep me grounded in the Word, and are a great source of comfort in any situation. PTL!

Devotions only. App quits when other choices are selected

AnoPa?
When I opened the old app, there was a prompt to upgrade to new app. So I did. I have iPad 6th generation 13.4. App worked well on first day but on the next day, only the devotions could be viewed. It quits when I selected prayers, favorites, or view by seasons. I didn’t upgrade the old app on my phone, it’s the only portable device that works.I’ve been exchanging emails with a tech from Concordia Technology Solutions but haven’t heard from her since Apr 7. I did everything she told me to do but nothing worked. Maybe a bug?
