Forward Day by Day for Negative User Reviews

✓ Meditations missing?I got this app because I wanted the daily meditation in electronic form. Not there! I do appreciate having the daily lectionary readings, but I still have to have the print copy to get the meditations? The app does not deliver what the App Store blurb promises....GrannyLittleVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Stopped working on iPhone XRPlease update the app..Save on sucksVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Difficult to navigateWas happy to find an app for this as much easier for me to read than print version. Unfortunately, I found it cumbersome to move to a different date, among other things. Navigation is not intuitive and thus frustrating. Instead I’m using the free version on the website - much better. Save the $7 and donate to your parish instead..Sable4meVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Cannot Launch AppI began having problems launching the app yesterday. I get the message “No internet connection “ with a retry button that does not work. Has anyone experienced this problem? I have installed and reinstalled with the same results..Pugman29Version: 2.1.0

✓ Very buggyI really want you to fix this app! It has so much of what I want to use each day in one convenient place. However, I get error messages in the middle of prayers, it gets hung up on a previous day, it can't be used in a horizontal format and I can't download it to my iPad at all, only my iPhone. All of these things make it frustratingly unusable. Fabulous idea, poor execution. Please, please fix. I'll happily send another six dollars for a new usable version..BluedotinaredstateVersion: 1.1

✓ Good concept, needs improvementThis is a decent app with some very nice features. The main drawback is that the fonts are really small with no way to enlarge them. You can't pinch to enlarge like you can with many other apps, there is no ability to change in Settings, and you can't even put it in landscape mode to get a slightly larger font. This is a nice app, but until they make it readable for those of us who have difficulty with smaller fonts, I would stay away..Beachbum205Version: 1.1

✓ Love the appl but...It has far too many bugs and the price is off-putting. For this price, it should many interactive features, as well be accessible to people who aren't familiar with the episcopal church. As a episcopalian, I love the idea, but know that other organizations have created better models, for free or only nominally priced. If we would for others to become interested in our denomination, our app needs to be less expensive, more lively and simply a better program. That said, it's a hood beginning..EllenSt1204Version: 1.1

✓ Not Available OfflineI’m I the only one who goes on vacation to wild and natural places and is disappointed I can’t do my morning readings because this app has to be online to work? Please update your app to cache a few days or a month of data so it works everywhere I pray..Crag_DogVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Will not openReally enjoyed the app but now it won't open. The little symbol just spins and the app never opens..RjssmjicwVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Great to have but needs workA wonderful idea and good start. I like having all the readings at hand and the prayers. Also good is the link to more info about the saint of the day. But in addition to typos and spacing, the daily prayer now sticks on the time of day I first view it, so it won't move forward to noon prayer, evening prayer, compline. It used to do this. There is a link to Daily prayers anytime, but it is broken. It also won't swivel as I turn the iPad, and there are only two font sizes, whereas I'd like to be able to enlarge it several more times. I emailed them about some of this, and they said it was really designed for iPhone and they were hoping to make it more ready for iPad. I've had this on my iPad for two months, and I really like having all the readings and everything. I'm just hoping they'll fix some things..ObiprofVersion: 1.1

✓ No internet connectionFrom the get-go right after downloading and installing this app I get “No internet connection.” Tapping “Retry” brings no response. All other apps connect. How do I get a refund?.NamoamidabutsuVersion: 2.1.0

✓ A good start + needs fine tuning.I partially regret spending money on this app, yet realize my voice may help this app become a better one. I've been using several other app's for keeping the daily office. I like starting my days with A Morning Resolve and For Today. I'm not always able to get a copy of Forward Day by Day. Furthermore, I don't alway's have a WiFi connection. I thought I'd try the app. That being said here are my observations: The Morning & Evening Prayers are just that - No need to carry a hard copy of the BCP + a bible The scrolling can be a little slow +/ unresponsive +/ jumpy - but the material (message) is there The Saint isn't always the saint according to the calendar - It's sometimes a collect or other prayer. Then again, who am I to judge. Through prayer & meditation - lift your requests up to God... Blessings.ZimZimminyVersion: 1.1

✓ App not workingI have had nothing but a blank screen for several days now! I would really like to be able to use this app every day. I agree, An app this expensive really should work. If you can't get it fixed I would like to have a refund!.MovingontoperfectionVersion: 1.1

✓ Forward MovementLoved this app until this afternoon when I got a blank screen when I opened it. Since it's $6.99 for the app I'm hoping this is temporary. I haven’t been able to open this for 2 days now. I can get it thru Facebook, but not the app..ThedeacVersion: 3.3.7

✓ Technical issuesI love the print version and was excited to get the app. It fits the iPhone 5 screen but does not enlarge or switch to landscape as mentioned by others. Print is small so that feature would be helpful. You swipe to advance the days but the responsiveness is inconsistent. Once these shortcomings are corrected it will get 5 stars from me..Erial2Version: 1.1

✓ Slightly disapointedI agree with the other reviews. I have long been a fan of the publications and was excited to discover the app. The daily meditation does not fit the iPhone screen and the text won't shift to landscape mode when I rotate my device. I sincerely hope this bug gets worked out with an update. Aside from this it has the potential to be an excellant app and addition to their quarterly publication.Jw238Version: 1.1

✓ Doesn't workThis is a poor effort on the part of Forward Movement. The daily prayer feature doesn't work reliably for the current day and gives no visible feedback or error if it can't load the Office. The app also invariably opens to the meditation, even if you were just in the Daily Office. This means that if your phone closes the app, you have to tap several times to get back to your place. If you were in the middle of prayer and no longer have a network connection, too bad. Overall the app is much worse than Derek Olsen's breviary website, and it costs $7 instead of Derek's donation model. Avoid..SkitaletsVersion: 2.0

✓ Depends on the MonthThe authors of the reflections rotate each month. Some months you get mainstream reflections on the gospel. Other months you get heavy doses of social justice reflections. It’s like a whipsaw sometimes month to month. If you are sensitive to politics being mixed into your gospel reflections, I’d look elsewhere..Atomic WasabiVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Good idea needing more workI was delighted to see an app available and I support Forward Movement. However the meditation "bleeds" off the viewing area and in an attempt to view all of it I somehow swiped to tomorrow's meditation which is blank and I cannot swipe back to today's meditation. Using iPad 3G with latest iOs update. More problems. Slow to load and Daily Meditation page is blank..CASRTXVersion: 1.1

✓ Nice to have againUsed to get these little books at church years ago. Nice to see it again and have it electronically. But why is the text in the app so huge?? It’s much larger than any other text on my phone. To get it a reasonable size, I have to make the rest of my phone text super tiny. You lose two stars for that. It’s like trying to read a billboard at arms length..MisselamapVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Font SizeAlthough i love the content, I am so disappointed in the tiny font size. Especially for an app that costs 7.99, by far the most I have ever paid for an app. To not have a font adjustment feature is so disappointing. You must fix this!.ClairelynneVersion: 1.1

✓ Not connected to Internet or won’t openI’ve enjoyed this app until last night when all I got was the revolving circle..I got the same today. Turned my iPad off, then on again, but got the message that I wasn’t connected to the internet. But I was connected. Deleted the app, then restored and got the revolving circle again. Maybe I’ll try the website. Deleting the app until fixed. Very disappointing. By the way: in connecting to the website with Daily Prayer, the site also says “Not connected to the internet.” Someone needs to fix the site itself: that is the source of the problem. I will (try to) send them a contact message - if it goes thru’ ......AliattitudeVersion: 2.1.0

✓ Update please!I have long used this app as my morning meditation, and turned to the prayer library during the day, when I might not have your books handy and within reach. With the new IOS versions, my screen is now blank except for the buttons at the bottom. I am no longer able to see daily meditations or any of the other features. It is greatly missed! I would give it five stars if I could see it again;).SlammomVersion: 1.1

✓ Needs update, consistencyFor this app to be valuable, it needs to work consistently on both the iPhone and iPad. It doesn't; and it is one of the most expensive apps I've bought. As a priest, I can recommend its use to hundreds of people but will not until it works. The idea of it is tremendous - and I have used it often when it has worked. But it is really disappointing and not functional when it's content doesn't fit the screen as is frequently the case. If it isn't fixed quickly, it will get a reputation as a waste of time and money - one more instance in which the church can't function in the real world..Randall in SYVVersion: 1.1

✓ App Falls ShortThe daily meditation, readings and prayers do not update from prior days and at times won't even load content. I uninstalled this in frustration and only came back to it recently in hopes of fixes. However, I'm going to have to abandon again. It's taking up space but doesn't work. Please invest in getting this right. It's the most expensive app I've bought and the only one that flat won't work. This is a valuable spiritual tool for ministry that is not reliable right now..BB in MDVersion: 1.1

✓ Font SizePlease upgrade so the font size can be made larger. Currently unable to adjust and my aging eyes are having a problem with the small font..Katie CanuckVersion: 2.0.1
