Features & Capabilities

Portals of Prayer brings daily audio and text devotions to your device with a clean, modern interface. You can navigate devotions by topic, month, year, or quarter, and use new 'Resources' for prayers and author bios. The app includes a dark mode and enables cross-device syncing of favorites via your Concordia Publishing House account.

The app is free to download, with a yearly subscription of $9.99 unlocking all content—over a decade of devotions, daily prayers, and the ability to mark favorites. Subscriptions are separate from the print Portals of Prayer and auto-renew unless turned off in Settings.

User Reviews

Users praise the app for audio availability, portability, archived devotions, and reasonable pricing. However, recurring issues include unreliable playback due to narration quality, blank screens and crashes, subscription/login problems, and post-update compatibility glitches. Stability and a better reader experience are repeatedly requested to align the app with its content value.

Pros

Audio/read-aloud feature is available for devotions.
Convenient mobile access to Portals of Prayer with daily devotions.
Archives of past devotions are available and searchable.
Reasonable price/value for the subscription.
Easy-to-navigate interface.

Cons

Narration quality is poor (monotone, sing-songy) and there is a desire for playback customization like adjustable speed.
Frequent blank screens, crashes, and general reliability issues interrupt access to content.
Subscription/billing/renewal problems and login access issues after renewal.
Post-update compatibility problems and upgrade friction that breaks features or access.

Recent reviews

Why do religious apps think they have to have a musical background. It’s annoying. It’s also an accessibility issue for hard of hearing people. In addition, a very slow ponderous read detracts from the message. We have only listened to two, and already considering abandoning the app.

I was excited to discover that this app exists and I fully understand the need for the yearly cost for this work and find it a reasonable amount. I’m hopeful that a “share“ functionality might be added.
