Review summary

Users appreciate the Jesus Calling Devotional Lite app for its inspiring daily devotionals, inclusion of Bible verses, and convenience for daily spiritual encouragement. However, multiple users report issues with app loading failures unless notifications or internet are enabled, confusing navigation, intrusive ads after updates, and occasional technical errors. While many value the content and minimal ads, concerns about privacy and app usability have been raised. Overall, the app provides valuable devotionals but suffers from recent performance and interface drawbacks according to user reviews.

Pros

Inspiring daily devotionals that help build and bolster faith.
Convenient access to daily messages wherever you are, complementing the physical book.
Includes full devotional text along with corresponding Bible scriptures.
Minimal and unobtrusive ads in the free Lite version.
App allows easy sharing of devotionals with friends and family.

Cons

App sometimes fails to load daily devotionals without enabling notifications or internet, leading to only a picture of Jesus being shown.
Recent updates introduced more ads and less intuitive navigation with more clicks required, frustrating users.
Some users report errors related to SFL certificate signing that block access to readings.
Navigation is dated; app does not automatically open to current day's devotion requiring manual date selection.
Users have concerns about privacy and data consent introduced in newer versions.

2024-12-20	Br*****	I have been using this devotional for some time now, it is very inspiring and give you good grounding, sets you up for the day, helps you to keep going when things seem not to be going your way and helps to build your faith. Each day has something that can bolster you and reminds you that you are not alone in this struggle, God is always there, ready to aid us if only we focus on Him. Blessings. We use this as part of our daily prayer group sessions.

2024-08-12	Ch*****	Tried to download and open the app. It goes to a picture of Jesus and then nothing else happens. Tried to uninstall and reinstall and the same issue keeps happening. Really bummed out as I used to love the app on my old phone.

2024-04-03	Pa*****	I love the idea of this app, but I continue to receive a message about an SFL certificate not being signed, which prevents me from reading the excerpts. I've tried reinstalling several times but to no avail.

2024-01-24	Ho*****	If you dont turn on notifications, all you get is a picture of Jesus with no text. I uninstalled it twice, and it gave me the same issue. It used to work fine. I dont want notifications! I already get too many.

2023-10-28	Jo*****	Very inspirational! No matter what I'm going through or what's on my mind. His message always reaches me. I look forward to reading it everyday! This book has done more for me than church or the Bible ever has. I was born and raised catholic. And I still claim my faith. But this book is like talking to Jesus one on one. It helps me through my day every time. I've even bought a few for close friends and family.

2023-09-10	Kr*****	I started out with the hard copy of this devotional and out of the 5 different devotional books I have "Jesus Calling" is my favorite! 😍 So when I discovered this app I was thrilled! Before I found the app I would have to take a picture of a certain message so I could share it with friends. Now all I have to do is copy the text and send it to my friends! 🙌🙌🙌

2023-07-22	Cl*****	I love the fact that the author writes each daily devotion from the first person of Jesus Christ.... Each devotion that I read it is as if Jesus himself is personally speak to me. It is the right word for me for that day..... The title 'Jesus Calling' is a beautiful connotation. I imagine Jesus reaching out to each person on this planet with compassion and saying "come! You have nothing to lose by coming to me. All that you need is in me, I have so much to GIVE"

2023-05-19	SA*****	I also have the Jesus calling devotional book, and I love it; however, I sometimes forget to read it in the morning and can always go to the app on my phone and find the day's message. I always like to add " dear Sally" when I begin to read each day's message. It really does make me feel like Jesus is talking directly to me.
