2026-06-10	Ge*****	This is one of the simpler Bible reading apps I’ve come across. Just a few versions available, and a limited set of customization options like font size and a serif/sans-serif font style toggle. But, there is so much to like about this simplicity. Select an amount of time you have available and Redeeming Time offers you a slate of books of the Bible that you could read in that time. Or, start a “Reading Plan” to read something longer by spending a few minutes every day and the app tracks your progress by chapters read. Best of all, the app tracks what you’ve already read from the Bible. If you’re wanting to read from more diverse sections of scripture, this app is just about perfect. I’ve been using it for a few months now and only have one significant complaint: When I read something longer (say one of Paul’s letters or an OT prophet), the app seems to base how far I read on whether I saw any part of a chapter. So if I read through chapter 3 and scrolled chapter 4 just into view at the bottom of my screen, the app will start me at the bottom of chapter 4. Then if I try to scroll back up to start reading the start of chapter 4, the previous chapters I already read get loaded and the screen jumps back to the beginning of an earlier chapter. I basically have to remember where I left off in my last reading session or I won’t get to the right spot. I’m not sure how hard this is to fix, but I would love to see this improvement made! Other than this one nitpick, I’ve found the app refreshing and super useful for spending daily time in God’s Word!

2024-07-02	Ri*****	Although I haven’t been using it consistently; I love this app because it allows me to read the word without distraction whenever I need an extra dose of the word without distraction.

2024-04-07	An*****	This app truly does help you redeem your time and use it in a way the pleases the Lord. It’s so much more life giving than scrolling on social media. Love how it’s set up to fit the amount of time you have and super user friendly

2024-02-05	th*****	The app itself was a great but I’m struggling with the time it takes to actually load up a portion of scripture. It’s taking at least a minute and a half to actually load. Please attend to this issue.

2023-12-28	Re*****	I think the technician at the Apple Store installed this app for me, because, after I had my phone reset, this app was on it. I didn’t know what it was, and then I opened it up and realized it was by the same people that make PrayerMate. I started using it, and it has been such a blessing in my life. It is so intuitive, and it even capitalizes on that scrolling motion that I want to do when I am bored. Only instead of scrolling X, now I am scrolling God’s word. I’m sure they will continue to make changes in the future… The ability to highlight and take notes would be good. however, even as it is now, this is a gem of an app.
