Somewhat disappointing. Why on earth would Crossway use the NIV translation instead of their own ESV? I liked the ampers app better.

App is very nicely done. I miss the commentary from past theologians, but the newer stuff is good too. This is a great resource for family devotions and teaching my kids theology! Thanks.

I like it so far, but one thing that's been bugging me is that it should say "Christ's" instead of "Christs". Thank you!

The app version by Ampers offered more functionality and links to videos, plus it automatically advanced on a weekly basis to the next question. Unfortunately, with the release of this Crossway version, the Ampers app is being pulled from the Play Store.

Really like the questions and answers for kids, but neither my kids nor myself like the new music by Crossway

Excellent resource for believers. Great to use for sharing with others who might have questions. Recommend it. So far no issues I can see.

A beautiful app and a modern take on the catechisms of old. Now if we could only get Crossway to update their ESV Bible app.

I wish I could see both adult and children's answers at the same time. So far every time I've opened the app, I have to scroll through all the questions to get to the current question, and often I have to go back to settings to reset to show children's answers. I liked the functionality of the other new city app better. This one is prettier but that doesn't count for much when it's more trouble to use.
