Stellar God-Centered Devotional App!! 🙏🏼
Sep 9, 2016 I found this app while reading a 90 day devotional called EXPLORE on Ruth, Jeremiah and 1 Corinthians. This app is well made. The graphics & fonts are up to date and...well...cool. The navigation is straightforward even though there is a lot of content. This app is for both mature Christians and newbies. It has daily devotions that walk you through a passage of scripture, asks questions for application sake, and sometimes gives prompts for prayer. The scripture is also linked in the app so - everything is right as your fingertips! If you are discipling or meeting with new Christian or unbeliever this app could be very useful! First it has a button called 'getting started' that has 3 options to choose from. One is titled: How to spend time with God. The content is exactly what someone new to the Bible or the idea of devotion time needs! In addition, the devotions have a theological theme (God is unchanging, God speaks through the scripture, etc...) and is God centered. This is edifying to anyone who desires to deepen their knowledge of, and love for Christ!!! One thing I would like to see updated is the menu at the bottom of the app...the one that lets you toggle between today, previous, next, and bookmark. This menu is a bit unpredictable. I can't figure out how to intentionally make it appear when I want it. Other than that simple issue - this app is fantastic and has many uses!! ---a pastor's wife, Omahamore -
Apr 26, 2019 ive been using explore for years. it is clear and short enough to be realistic to achieve Bible reading regularly. it is always theologically accurate. And I really love the fact that it gives me questions it pushes me back to the text to make sure I read it carefully often picking up things I've missed. ita good having a brief explanation if you happen to be finding it hard to understand what the passenge is saying and then allows you to apply it and pray. i now only recommend explore.more -
LOVE IT!!
Feb 21, 2013 I am LOVING this app!!! I've never written an app review, but I've also never had an app that changed my life like this one has. I've always struggled with reading the Word. I had the desire but just couldn't keep disciplined. This app has made the Word come alive for me. I love the comments/questions that serve to lead me through my quiet time. And it's a reasonable length where I don't feel overwhelmed or like I need to rush so I can get to my errands for the day. It is helping me to put God first, where He should always be. Thank you!!!more -
Sep 20, 2019 I love this app. The material is in depth and prompts me to think deeper than the surface. Just two things about the app though, please add the highlight and note-making function. That'd make the app even better! Overall, it's a great app and I'd recommend it to anyonemore -
Insightful and easy to use
May 9, 2013 This is the first time I have written a review for an app, but I have to highly recommend this one. The devotionals are on the left side of the page and the Scriptures are shown on the right hand side as they are accessed during the reading. I have been using this for several weeks now, and every day has wonderful, thought provoking insights and questions. Not just feel good thoughts, but life changing perspectives. Thank you for a great daily "feeding".more

Great!
Apr 23, 2014 The bible studies are great, but the app could improve. It doesn't sync between devices! The iPad version I have doesn't sync with my iPhone version so one purchase doesn't get you the study on multiple devices. Could you please fix this? I might read my iPad version one day but might need to continue on iPhone in another day..!more -
Jul 23, 2017 It was working great until the Buy screen isn't loading for me. The spinner seems to be spinning forever and nothing is shown. I can't buy new resources now.more -
So far, so good:)
Mar 29, 2013 I really enjoy this app. It's a great way to make sure you get a Bible study in everyday. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because you have to purchase so much in-app. It's very misleading to call this a free app, when all the content has to be bought.more -
Encouraging application
Jan 17, 2012 I've enjoyed the challenges and look forward to seeing perhaps a more expositional verse by verse/book by book type of devotional!more

Oct 5, 2020 Have recently had problems with the app. Have often had to redownload as pages will not load. Content is variable , in recent times its felt like wading through treacle rather than being built up by the studies I feel flattened. After many years I'm going to have a break and try a different set of notes .more -
Aug 7, 2018 App looks really good and notes are sound, but why do they cost more than the hardcopy version posted out by snail mail? Also, the ability to access paid for content across devices on the same account seems to be down? Lose a star for that.more

What’s Groovy
I really like explore but some annoying bugs/ settings like how in the monthly bible notes, it always reverts to the current date rather than to the study you read last. Also after uninstalling and reinstalling the app my library is emptied.

What’s Subpar
Haven't been able to access the notes this month. Keeps cutting out on me. Problem not resolved by the Good Book Company.

A really great resource
I love being able to go through studies from great teachers like Tim Keller and Tim Chester of different books of the bible. This is a very attractive and easy to use app. Two minor issues: I wish there were a "night mode" that had white text on a black background, as the white background can be really hard on the eyes early in the morning (even with the new iOS "night shift" feature) Some of the studies auto-progress at weekly intervals instead of daily intervals and it's not always clear which is which before you purchase a study. This makes it challenging to find the next daily study. But this has only affected one title I've encountered. -
Glory be to God.

For the Fallen
I love this app! My life has began to stray form the truth, so I downloaded this app, and it turned it around. I can now get my daily bread for each day in a deep devotion that is easy to follow along with and understand. Thank you Explore for giving me a second chance at my relationship with God (thanks to you too God). -

Great app that takes the 20+ years of Explore Bible Devotional notes and puts them in an accessible format. Really helpful in restricted countries where such notes are not available. Any chance other publications like your kids publications can be made available?
