She Reads Truth 4+

Better, but still needs work

Edit 2: please fix the Bible app crashing 😔

Edit: with the most recent update I’m unable to open the Bible portion of the app. It crashes. 😔

Thank you for hearing the suggestions of bringing back the swipe to read different chapters and multi-select tool to mark readings as read! The problem now with the most recent update is that “read” readings don’t transfer between devices. Sometimes I read on my phone, sometimes I read on my iPad, and now when I go to one or the other it’s hard to keep up with what’s been read and what hasn’t... Also along with swiping to change chapters, it would be nice to be able to switch from chapters through the quick search. So if I’m in Psalm 23 and I want to go to Psalm 72 I don’t have to click Psalms again then click the chapter I want.. I could just click the chapter if that makes sense. I’d also love to one day be able to have my notes in my margins/be able to write in the margins with my Apple Pencil instead of having a separate place for my notes... I know that’s a lot of requests, and probably not easily doable, just some thoughts. Thank you for all you do!

I do not like the new app

Edit: some bugs seem to be worked out. The content and presentation of SRT continue to be INCREDIBLE. Still don’t prefer the new app, but it’s better than when it was first rolled out.
I love She Reads Truth and have had the app and plans for 3 years now. I am very disappointed with the app overhaul and update. It is very difficult to use the app. It’s constantly buggy. It never has my previous day’s reading correct. I really liked in the old app that there was a place to jump straight to the current day’s reading. If there’s a way to do that from the home page of the app, it’s not obvious to me. I also hate that my plans are listed in alphabetical order instead of most recently opened. That’s not helpful. At least give me an easy way to toggle between views so I can use the one most helpful to me. I also cannot stand that now, after I click “read” after reading the scripture passage, it doesn’t stay marked “read.” If I go back to the verses after looking at the devo, it will unmark the reading as read for me. That’s so frustrating. Why was so much functionality removed and changed from the old app? What is the reason for it?
Again. I love the content of SRT. I love the studies. I love the aesthetic (though not so much of this new app—it’s too harsh for me—but if that’s what you want then it’s fine). It’s very confusing to me why the app was changed so much, taking away good functionality and maneuvering.

Great product- Horrible update

I love SRT. There was a time when I would use it daily. But sadly, that just isn’t the case anymore.
First: let me say that I completely understand the need for changes and updates to an app. That’s totally fine. I think it is perfectly okay to change the look and feel of an app if it works better for functionality or for the ease of the user. Sure, it takes a bit to get used to a new layout, but that’s kosher.
This update does not seem to the case of change for functionality. Instead, it seemed to have tried to make it look prettier and more streamlined without making it any easier to use. If anything, it’s more complicated. I can’t seem to find anything or change my information. I keep hearing rumblings of a part of the app that plays music but I can’t find it (it was mentioned in the Hymn devos a few times). If that part of the app is no longer available, that’s fine but why keep it in the devos? Nothing seems to work properly and I kind of stopped using the app because of it. Which is honestly a shame.

Listen: if you can get past the issues with the app itself, the product is pretty awesome...but honestly, how sad is it to have to say that? I think the app needs a rehaul or, at the very least, to be tweaked to be more user friendly. I love SRT and would love to start using the app again!

We appreciate you sharing your thoughts and feedback. The Hymns plan is one of our older plans, so the music playlist has now been moved to our Spotify account which you can find here http://bit.ly/srtmusic. So sorry for any confusion and thanks for your patience as we continue making improvements to our app! -The She Reads Truth Team
