He Reads Truth for Negative User Reviews
✓ Great app but needs just one thingThe app is great and I love it but why is there no landscape mode for the ipad? I am using the ipad pro and would love support for all of those features. Allow full use of the landscape screen and multitasking and I’ll love it even more!.Version: 3.2.5
✓ Needs iPad Landscape SupportWhile the app itself is great, it severely needs iPad landscape support. Whenever I’m doing any kind of reading on my iPad I much prefer to hold it in landscape mode rather than in portrait mode. One other small complaint is that I would prefer for the home page in the app not contain their store products. I already own some he reads truth stuff, including a Bible, but I think a focused Bible and devotional app should avoid tempting its users to buy material possessions. It would be fine if it was in another tab, just don’t put it front and center on the homepage..Version: 3.33
✓ Glitchy, slow, missing purchases reading plans.The app is slow to load reading plans and I currently am unable to restore my reading plan purchases. They have all disappeared. The app has been disappointing for the last year and they really need to revamp it. Still waiting for a reply concerning my reading plan purchases that have disappeared from my account..Version: 3.2.5
✓ Simple bible reader but…Night mode, ie dark mode doesn’t cut the mustard at all! Makes the bible pages dark but not the whole app! Should at least be an option to match the phone profile, or not depending contrast mode settings.Version: 3.39
✓ Passage Picker BugThis app is good and would be awesome if you guys would fix the passage picker bug. It’s on the she reads truth app also. When you select a book of the Bible, or a chapter, the app randomly picks a chapter and sometimes a verse for you. This doesn’t happen every time, but it hurts every time it does! Please fix this and you’ll get the five stars this app deserves and both apps would be promoted from a folder to my home screen! Love you guys!.Version: 3.1.11
✓ Mostly good but some issuesFor the most part the app works well, however there are some limitations which might mean you are better served by other apps or Bible eBooks. Firstly the app takes a long time to launch - even on the latest devices. When reading in church, this means you miss the beginning of the reading - even people thumbing through paper Bibles get to the right place more quickly. Secondly it's too easy to accidentally select a verse and to difficult to unselect it again. This one is more of an annoyance, but the Kindle approach to selecting and highlighting verses is more usable..Version: 3.34
✓ For iPad?I love this app and have been using it for a while now! It’s incredible. I do wonder why it’s not on iPad yet. I noticed that She Reads Truth is sorted for iPad but not this one. If any developer is reading this: please make for iPad, I do most of my reading on here and hate having to use my phone and iPad to do a devotional..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Good update, no landscape is frustratingI use this on my iPad, I really was excited that there would finally be an iPad app, quickly became a subscriber when the app was released, but then just couldn’t love only having a portrait version of the app. All iPad covers are designed to sit in landscape mode when propped up, this is how I use it and how I use my digital journal to write as I do the devotional. I understand designs have limitations, but it is 2019, this is about the only non game app I know of that doesn’t rotate. Is there a plan to update this?.Version: 3.2.3
✓ Will not stop crashing on multiple devicesIt pains me to write this, because the content of the app is very, very good…for the two days that I was able to use it. Now the app is completely unusable. 9 times out of 10 that I open the app, it crashes within 30 seconds. On the rare occasion that I can get the app open for more than a minute, while the scripture portion of the plan is present, the commentary section appears as blank. This happens both only iPhone SE and my iPad, which is the newest generation. It’s really frustrating to be missing out on excellent devotional because the app is one big bug..Version: 3.39
✓ Love HRT, but the app is strugglingI love He Reads Truth and read it every day but ever since the most recent redesign, the app is pretty unreliable. The design is great but the app misses little things like updating the daily reading plans and there’s occasional formatting that doesn’t get rendered properly. Would love to see the app get some back end love to make it more reliable!.Version: 3.2.5
✓ Great content. Not optimized for iPad ProGreat accessibility but the app is not optimized for an iPad Pro. A handful of pixels are cut off or the bottom menu and there is not ability to do side by side multitasking. ---- Updated, I really enjoy this company and Bible reading plans. Recommend to people all the time. Yet using on an iPad pro is not a good experience. No landscape mode, no side by side to read and journal. These two abilities should be a focus and a basic feature on any app in 2021..Version: 3.34
✓ Great concept - Landscape mode??I love everything about HRT except the app! I have had to use the browser for years due to this feature. I have an keyboard case with my ipad and would love to be able to split screen with my notes, or other resources but it has always only provided the option for portrait mode. I really wish you would offer landscape. This one small feature would be a huge step in the right direction..Version: 3.34
✓ Disappointed on every levelMy wife and I purchased their books for the Advent and thanksgiving series. The 4 books totaled $115, and when they get here, they didn’t even include the devotional... you have to ALSO buy the devotional through the app. The books they sent were simply trendy books with a few scriptures in them, cooking recipes, and useless information purely designed to look cool with trendy edited photos of scenery. If you do need an app to help you be more consistent with the Word, there are other great ones that aren’t overcharging you for nonsense. Their studies are fine, and some of their writers have good insight, but you are way overpaying for what you get unfortunately..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Great Content, Poor App ExperienceLike the tittle says, the content is really good. However, I have had more bugs and performance issues with this app than any other app I can remember. The app has been unusable for reading plans the past couple of days because it crashes when I try to open anything..Version: 3.39
✓ AlmostGuys it's almost a great app. .... But there's an issue. If you are adding a note and then add scripture, when you add it your notes disappear! Fairly fundamental to the use of the app. Needs attention quickly..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Good devo, bad chat boardThe devotional is very good. The intro summary shows up after the text which seems weird because it tells to read the text that you just read. The other weird thing is posting comments onto the chat board is very dysfunctional. I hit the return to go to a new line and majority of the time it posts the comments when I didn’t want it too. The other thing is when a post a second comment it reposts the first comment and deletes what I wrote..Version: 3.39
✓ Troubles…unfortunatelyI purchased the app with excitement…really looking forward to going through many of the plans available. However, the app crashes every single time I try to download any of the studies. I have deleted and reloaded the app to see if that would help, but unfortunately it did not. Any suggestions?.Version: 3.39
✓ Constantly CrashesIt only crashes when I try to actually get to the Bible. Isn’t that the purpose of this app? Worst update ever. Also I remember when the app actually looked like a man’s app aesthetically. Go back to some masculine colors and I wish they would get rid of the bar with the icons at the bottom. It’s ugly and in the way and they stay white even in dark mode..Version: 3.2.4
✓ Content is great, but app itself is lackingI really appreciate the studies that are produced by this company/org, and it’s convenient to be able to read scripture in the app, but with a subscription of $36/year, I would hope for a better in-app experience. - dark mode should be an app or account setting carried throughout the app... frustrating if you’re using it at night to have the devotional/study scripture passages and notes in bright white. - often times it’s obvious that the actual devotional notes are cut short at the end in the current studies ... probably some technical glitch - swiping to the next chapter when using the Bible function can be really glitchy - sometimes the page where you choose what day of the study to open up gets stuck in an endless loop (e.g., tapping “Day 3: <title>” swipes the page to the left and reveals the same page you were just on. Tapping it again yields the same results. Requires force-closing the app to fix..Version: 3.2.5
✓ Locked to Portrait for iPadThis app is unusable on iPad when oriented in landscape mode. I have my Smart Keyboard attached and this app remains sideways in portrait. The home bar also covers some of the icons on the bottom of the screen, so the developers have some work to do to support this app on iPad. The UX is also confusing. I don’t like the three page swiping mechanic from scripture to reading to community. It’s difficult to navigate to what I want. The app lost all of the readings I had done after 1 week, so I had to go through them and “Mark as Read” manually. I’m afraid it’s going to happen again. Aside from all the technical issues, I’m really enjoying the content. However, as a developer I want an app that works properly :).Version: 3.2.5
✓ Needs ImprovementI love this app as my quick access Bible, but it is missing many critical features that prevents me from making it my primary Bible app. 1. Please add landscape support. Especially for tablets, it will make note taking and reading easier especially if you are using a keyboard. 2. Adding Apple Pencil handwriting support will make this app very unique and greatly increase the value it adds to the users. 3. Adding more men based content would be greatly appreciated. Most of the content seems to be based on women because of the foundation around She Read Truth, but I would really like to see the He Reads Truth split off with a lot of men based content, podcasts, and other features with some combined features such as marriage reading plans, marriage based studies, and other similar features. 4. Being able to see multiple translations at once. 5. Be able to partially highlight and note verses. I like to be able to break up verses into some critical words and being able to highlight just those and add notes to just those would be a great benefit and once again make it unique among Bible apps..Version: 3.39
✓ Remember dark mode preferences + book mark bugPlease make it so that dark mode will stay on if you’ve clicked it. Sometimes the light mode is a bit annoying to open the app to because I read at night sometimes. Would be cool to avoid that extra step of having to constantly turn on red letter and dark mode every time I read. Also, the table of contents tab at the bottom now closes and opens halfway and doesn’t show the full tab anymore when open. :( this is my favorite Bible app and I prefer its look and feel much more than the others. While obviously it’s just aesthetics and the word is the most important thing at the end of the day, it would be nice to have these little features..Version: 3.34
✓ 3 Year Timeline & Review - One StarI had such high hopes for this because my fiancé loves She Reads Truth but I am disappointed. I have been using this for 9 months doing a Bible reading plan. It has stopped marking off where I’m at in my reading and has stopped loading it, completely defeating the purpose of using it as a Bible study tool. I have contacted them to see about fixing it and will update this once accordingly. UPDATE 1: I have reached out multiple times over the past 6 months or so and keep getting the same excuse of “Our developer is aware of the issue and working to fix it”. UPDATE 2: The last update shows that the Mark as Read button now functions correctly but it doesn’t. I’m giving up I’ll come back later and see if it’s actually fixed. UPDATE 3: It has been almost 3 years and I came back to see if the app has been fixed. In the process of buying a reading plan the app crashed on me four times. I really have tried multiple times to get on board with He Reads Truth but their refusal to address basic issues shows that as long as they are bringing in money without having ti put effort into their plans and/or their app, they don’t truly care about spreading the gospel..Version: 3.39
✓ Wonderful material but unable to accessI love their material and have many hard copies. I’ve paid for the subscription before but the software issues are now so severe it is completely unusable. This has been sitting on my phone for a few years and I have used it less and less. I deleted it today and am severely disappointed. I hoped there was an update but I see it hasn’t been touched in 7 months at this point. Appears to just be a money grab as they still offer subscription services but no support. Very disappointed and poor stewardship..Version: 3.39
✓ Great Resources on an Okay AppHe Reads Truth has tremendous studies that take you deeper. Unfortunately, the app has too many bugs and glitches to function. I have the HRT subscription, but can hardly use it due to the app crashing consistently. This could be a wonderful app for lots of people, but it will take investing in the functionality of it. The content is there; let’s get the functionality there as well..Version: 3.39
✓ DisappointingThe whole process was not intuitive and we ended up getting a different study than our daughter and her husband. If you don’t pay 20 dollars, the app itself charges for each study but that is still cheaper than paying $20 dollars for the month. I would warn people not to pay $20 a month for the content. When we tried to explain to them they referred back to their policies. There are better and more user friendly Bible and study apps for free..Version: 3.39
✓ Almost greatFantastic content but I do find it frustrating that you get to the end of your days reading and there's not a "complete" or "finished" button. Instead I have to click back a few times and swipe to mark as read..Version: 1.0.7
✓ He Reads TruthI love the content and the relay of the messages from the Bible. The issue I have with this App is it will never load correctly. I have been trying for several hours today alone to read my devotional on Daniel and can not get the app to load. The app itself has not been updated in over a year. Please upgrade the app seeing how I’m paying for this and really do enjoy the devotionals. Thank you and God Bless..Version: 3.2.5
✓ Lock screen picturesOnly here for the lock screen pictures....quite fancy how the messages touches my week, so i keep downloading each screen for a week to glory my God..Version: 1.0.8
✓ App Needs Updating!The content is great. I enjoy using this app to help with my quiet time and studying God’s word. It brings a different perspective than other devotional. However, the app needs to be updated! I have looked at the She Reads Truth app and that user interface looks great! I would like He Reads Truth to be similar. It would be nice to have the app configure to work with iPhone X and take up the whole screen..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Prettier. But worse UX than beforeThe design of the latest update is very nice. It’s cleaned up and beautiful! Overall it’s prettier, but takes far more tapping and searching to actually find what I’m looking for—which as a UX designer, makes me very sad. The app is also very very slow now. Which I’m sure bugs will get squashed soon, so I’m not incredibly worried there. The user experience of the reading plans is the main culprit. For example, tapping on my latest reading from the home page takes me to yesterday’s reading instead of today’s for some reason. Clicking the reading plan tab in the bottom navigation always drops me into “available plans” instead of the ones that I own and am wanting to read. And it now takes multiple taps to get back to my reading plans once I’ve finished a reading. And my list of readings always reorganizes itself seemingly at random. Sometimes my Bible in a year reading plan will be at the top of the list. Sometimes it’s at the bottom, and sometimes it’s 2nd or 3rd from the top..Version: 3.33
✓ Good content but too many glitchesThe He Reads Truth offers a lot of good content, including reading plans and different translations of the Bible not usually found in other apps. However, I have to deal with a lot of bugs & glitches to use the content. For example, the page to look at the available lock screens doesn’t load correctly and just says “Loading…” Another example is how long it takes each page on the app to load its content. I’m running an iPhone X and the He Reads Truth app loads slower than any other app on my phone..Version: 3.2.5
✓ Get it rightFirst, let me just say the content of the app is wonderful. The reading plans are phenomenal and a blessing. Now, the app itself: Wow, there’s so much that could be better. The UI design is questionable at best. Tapping a reading plan always takes you to the previous day instead of the next day you are reading. There’s no dark mode for the reading plans, which is more of a minor gripe, but valid nonetheless since the Bible part of the app has a dark mode. Why does there have to be a huge picture that I have to swipe away to get to the reading plan every single day? Why aren’t the completed reading plans automatically sorted to the bottom of my plans? Why do I have to tap “back” through the huge picture to get back to my days in the plan? Devs: please fix this app, it is not in a great place right now..Version: 3.36
✓ Great content, horrible appI love the content and reading plans that HRT puts out. However the app is so buggy that it’s barely usable. The latest plan will barely load before crashing every time. Could be something great!.Version: 3.39
