This looks like an excellent app for guiding the practice of lectio divina. I wish, however, that you had been up front about there being a $10/month fee. I’m currently in seminary, living on a pastor’s salary, and have a family of four. I understand your need to cover your costs, but I cannot take on any new costs at this time. $10 isn't asking much, but it is more than I can currently shoulder.Update: thank you for your response and the added information. $1.99/month is much easier on our tight budget.

I want to love this app. But I am getting ready to do an Ingnatian Retreat where they give us specific bible passage to reflect on using Lectio Divina. I’ve tried to edit the provided passage to accommodate the passages I need to reflect on but that seems to be the only thing that cannot be changed in the journal entry. I am able to look up another passage to read, but it will not document that new passage in the app, it goes right back to the default passage for that day. I completely value the passages that are auto populated for those who need help knowing what to reflect on to keep up with a daily routine, however, I will have to resort to using a simple journaling app so I can insert and document my own passages until this app allows the opportunity to edit the provided passage. I hope you are able to make this happen, because there is great value in this app... except for having to be tied to specific passages each day 😉

It is really inconvenient to not be able to sign-up through the app itself (you have to go to the main website), but it is the manually entering in my credit card information, which gives me pause. There’s no way to ensure that my information is protected (at least from the perception of the interface). I understand your cutting down on costs by not using a middle man, but I honestly think that choice will kill the app before it even starts, which is sad because the idea is great!I am more than happy to pay the monthly subscription, but I would rather do it through something like Apple Pay for 1) ease and 2) ensured security of my credit information. It is also easier for me as a user to manage in terms of my subscriptions.

I have been using this practice in notebook form (which I LOVE) for a few years now and it has been so life-giving for me. I am so happy about the app and online version that will backup all of my journal entries! This is one less notebook that I need to decide whether to keep when the year is done. Thank you so much for creating something so helpful for our spiritual formation.
