IF:Gathering for Android
*Update: 4.17.17* App finally allowed me to sign in on my LG Aristo and is working well. A little glitchy but not a deal breaker. Love it. *Original review: 3.1.17* I was using and enjoying this app just fine (except I couldn't watch the videos) on my Galaxy S4 until the most recent update. Now every screen I click on just goes white. Very unfortunate as the website for the studies is not very user friendly either. Hopefully they are working to fix the issues on the android platform. *Update: 3.4.17* Switched to a LG Aristo and I can't even sign in now. So disappointed.
***UPDATE 2: it's working on the LG. At least fir now. ** UPDATE: the app stopped working on the HTC One. I now have an LG X-power. It was working about a week & now it won't start at all. I love the IF:Gathering app but I'm very frustrated with it not working half the time (& with the fact I still can't install it on my tablet) *ORIGINAL: This has become my favourite way to do a morning devotional. I love the lessons & how much they teach me & help me. I've run into a technical issue recently though. I have an HTC One M9 phone & it works great, but I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablet & I can't install the app. I'm so disappointed because I find looking at the small screen of my phone is hard on the eyes. I was looking forward to a bigger screen with the tablet. When will I be able to install on the tablet?
Recently keeps crashing which is disappointing because I LOVE this devotional and the convenience of having it on the go is so essential to my daily life...please fix the glitches!
Would not download properly, very disappointed because I have friends that love this app
My app keeps crashing but the studies are AMAZING
Awesome resource for becoming a better disciple.
It doesn't work. It will not let you log in with an old acct, Facebook or create a new one.... It just sits.... Useless. And not being able to use it on a tablet is redundant who wants to read on their itty bitty phone??? Was forced to by a $36 book for our Bible study, BC their free app didn't work. Hmmmmm
I was pumped up about this app after attending the virtual conference earlier this year. I was quickly dissappointed after several attempts to sign up for the app failed. I hope this is fixed soon.
I cannot open the video to watch on my Samsung Galaxy J7 2016. I would give this app 5 stars if I could watch the video.
I can't log in with my account or with Facebook.
Great, except for the video player. It stalls. All. The. Time.
I switched phones and can no longer sign in using the app (latest version) on my new phone. After uninstalling and reinstalling several times, I tried signing up again without success and tried resetting my password with no success. The sign in button seems to not function at all. I will happily change the rating as soon as these issues are fixed, because I loved the app on my old phone!
Love the devo content (via email) but I cannot even sign in or use the app because of some kind of glitch. The app used to crash a lot for me but I could at least sign in. Now - nothing. iPhone app is probably fine. Get the Android app working too!!!
Loved this app and these studies when I had an iPhone. I recently switched to a Google Pixel and it won't let me sign in. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but to no avail. I also tried creating a new account and it didn't work. It's inconvenient to these studies on my computer, so I'm pretty bummed about this major glitch on the Android platform. I'd be happy to change this review when the Android app is working again!
I got a new phone and the app no longer lets me sign in. I had no trouble with my old phone. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. No luck. When I could sign in and use the app, it was fantastic.
Android app sign in screen doesn't work. Unusable. Works flawlessly on iOS.
I cannot download the app to my ZTE grand Max 2. The font is too large for me to press OK and get into the app.
I really like that it is short and concise. Busy mom over here!
So thankful for this app.
I really want to like this. It makes doing the studies so much easier- when it worked. App will not load. Uninstalled & reinstalled, Will not sign in thru my Facebook & I can't sign in. Super frustrating
The look of it and the scripture and discussion. If you are looking for spiritual food to start you off on your journey then try it.
This is useful for everybody
How I start my day! Updates make it better and better. Like that I can go back to previous lesson if I missed a day. Have enjoyed responses: thoughtful, arty, scripture art, introduce me to music and artist. Amazing community with a common focus: our God: knowing Him better and loving Him more. Great place to share and listen and to learn to share with better clarity (visuals, analogies, descriptions and humor!) Thank you.
How I start my day!
I am still unable to login. I still get the message that my password can't end in a space and I can't login with FB either. I update and uninstall and reinstall every day. In the meantime I follow along on the website, but I can no longer post comments that way. Strangely, this app worked for me the first day it was released but never again after that.
Thanks so much for the update to this app!! I lost notifications, but it is much more seamless. God is good :)
I have been trying to use this app. It never loads. It won't let me sign in through Facebook. I would live to read the studies. I tried to sign in without Facebook and it kept saying my passwords didn't match. I know they dis. I hope y'all get it figured out.
The updates are great! Such a beautiful/easy to use app.
I LOVED this app when it was working. Sadly the last update now it won't open. :( I'll change my rating once it's fixed, because it really is a good app. This group puts out great studies :) it would be cool to have a spot for the if:table. Update: so even though there wad no new update, I deleted the app and downloaded it twice this week in hips to get it to work. It does now, but who knows for how long.
Installed the update this morning, and now it doesn't work at all. :( All I get is a white screen. I can see the menu on the left side, but every selection just gives me a white screen. The original version had some bugs, but those I could deal with. I'm so sad that I can't use it now. Samsung Galaxy S3 using Android v 4.4.2 ****UPDATE - I just wanted to let you know that uninstalling and re-installing did the trick! Thank you!
I really want to like this. It makes doing the studies so much easier- when it worked. App will not load. Uninstalled & reinstalled, Will not sign in thru my Facebook & I can't sign in. Super frustrating
I really do love this app and I was able to have a devotional time almost every day with it, but I can't get it to work. Now, it just comes up blank and says it can't connect. What should I do?
I love what this app has to offer, but unfortunately I doesn't work for me most of the time. If it opens for me I'm able to read the content (which is great stuff!), but once I interact with it the app shuts down. I'm totally bummed! I want to love it, but I also want it to work
This app has so much potential. .. (When it works! !) Crashes so much, so many error messages it's so frustrating. You have to completely reopen the app if you want to watch more than one video. Lessons are amazing. .. when you can actually view them. UPDATE: uninstalled then reinstalled now 2x. Still issues. . Like others have said I really want to love this app. . My church is following this program for their women's ministry but dealing with this app is such a headache! !
I loved that this app was available but now even after the update still won't open and Crashes all the time. Every time I want to use this app I have to go to the store and and search for it. Then it loads and will not let me select my studies. If the internet website was not broken WHY did you go and change it? I'm going to uninstall because it takes too long. It's a shame that I can't even use your website because it tells me to download an app that is useless.
I really want to love this. The crashing and sometimes not even opening prevents me from giving it a higher rating.
Wonderful app! Uninstalled after my phone updated OS and had a lot of bugs, i reinstalled and now it works great!!
I love how the new IF:Gathering App brings about true, authentic community as we strive to disciple a generation!
I love the concept & the ability to interact with other believers. What a great way to do a Bible study!

This app still doesn't work. I am disappointed. I can't get any videos to play now - through the email, or through the app. I have a Motorola phone. The last app did the same thing. Videos would never play. I would LOVE it if you guys would make an app compatible with tablets as well. As of right now, no device that I have works with this app. :(
