About Sabbath School 4

*Disclaimer*
Considering the great diversity of Android devices, some user experience problems using this app. However the great majority is really enjoying the app. We are trying to make the app compatible with more devices.

Sabbath School is a Bible study app for the student, teacher, and small group leader. The studies are built on Scripture and encourage the reader to discover a better understanding of the Bible.

This app is produced by the Sabbath School and Personal Ministries Department of the General Conference. If you have questions or issues with this app, please contact the Sabbath School and Personal Ministries Department in the support link or at http://www.sabbathschoolpersonalministries.org/iphone. Feedback is what enables us to make this app relevant to you. (By the way, rating us for features we haven’t thought about yet doesn’t quite help the process.)

The Publications:

Beginner is a two year, monthly, curriculum for ages 0 to 2. Beginner lessons are intended for children under age two. Let's face it--these little ones don't sit still long enough! Let's not offer more information than they can absorb. (Parents of a child who is more advanced may choose to use the Kindergarten study guide if the child is ready for more information.)

Kindergarten is a two year, weekly, curriculum for ages 3-5. There is one lesson per week with illustrative activities for each day. Also included with the lesson is an audio and animated podcast based on the week’s lesson.

Primary is a four year, weekly, curriculum for ages 6-10. There is one lesson per week with illustrative activities for each day. Also included with the lesson is an audio podcast based on the week’s lesson.

Junior PowerPoints is a four year, daily, curriculum for ages 10-13.

Real Time Faith is a two year, daily, curriculum for ages 13-14.

Cornerstone Connections is a four year, daily, curriculum for teens.

Collegiate Quarterly (CQ) is a daily study based on a quarterly theme. A different young adult writes each day. The writers are from an international pool and bring a varied perspective on the week’s study. The CQ lessons are also available as an audio podcast available directly from the app. Other podcasts and RSS feeds will be made available as they are produced.

The Adult Bible Study Guide (ABSG) and CQ are quarterly studies that explore the Bible and Biblical teaching. Where one author per quarter writes the Adult Bible Study Guide, about 91 international authors write CQ, one each per day, per quarter. Both follow the same curriculum for the given quarter.

Thank God for this app. We can now access God's word a click away.... We now have no excuse as to why we cannot join the Adventist family in studying God's word. Blessings!! It wouldn't always be like this, let us make use of the freedom of worship as time permits. Amen! Praise be to God.

This app has the study guide for the entire family all ages. After initial install it syncs a bit slow (especially on devices with low memory) I like the way in which the bible is built in and can be read from within the app. It has a few bugs especially after I upgraded to lollipop but overall it is a great app.

I've never ever given ah bad report on sum I'm excited abt. There's a lot of glitches takes long to load.... I'm on the corner stone quarterly an it's stil on the lesson for Sabbath 7 no new updates. A waste of app

K70%
by K####:

The inconsistency in updating this app is very discouraging. As a college student who is away from my home church, it is hard to get a physical lesson book to study. Please consider that this can hinder a new soul from growing properly in Christ. May God be with your ministry.

Exquisite app, has everything u need. There's an occasional typo but it's usually just a missing letter (usually 'f'). Thank u author for ur work I'm quite pleased. Hopefully u find the time to continue working on this masterpiece in the future

This is a great resource for anyone who wants to learn more about God and His Love for us! One improvement should be the support of the "back" button on smartphones, when you press the back button, it go back to the previous menu instead of exciting the app! That's quite annoying, but besides that, it's an amazing app!

K70%
by K####:

It is a very nice app but it can not replace the book unless it gets a highlight/underline option where salient points can be marked for the collegiate quartely. I notice that there is a highlight option and a note option for the sda adult lesson. What about the youths? With this option, I would give it 10 out of 5. One other thing, the zoom feature should be an icon that is by itself and not lingering over other icons. That could be frustrating.

K70%
by K####:

It's really bad. As someone who uses the app in an effort to to make a positive impact on the environment, it hurts me that in not able to take notes. There's another app for the adult lesson but I'm now teaching the youth class at my church, so I'm forced to use this app. The Adventist "brand" should be synonymous with excellence.

App not reliable When it works, it is a wonderful and very useful app. When it contunually says 'synching', even after uninstalling, re-installing, clearing cache and forcing stop, the app then is unusable. Please fix this issue as this app is now redundant on my phone

A70%
by A####:

From time to time app crashes or won't open beyond showing icon and won't open scripture passage within lesson. Won't update automatically to download new quarters. I have to uninstall app and reinstall to access new lessons, this is a significant inconvenience to say the least! I'm not at all impressed! Highlighter and Notes function has stopped working. These issues really need to be addressed!!!

I love this app!! Except for one thing.. You cannot go to the previous menu using the back button on smartphones! Instead it just exits/closes the app! But overall I really really love this app!

Q70%
by Q####:

I like to read the lesson to my daughter but then when I want to show the video, the mission or other portions of the day's lesson, it freezes or the most common, "video or application not available". It is quite frustrating, especially for my daughter who loves to see the videos

1. Can't highlight the Collagiate quarterly. 2. Can't place a comment on page for review during discussion on Collegiate! Otherwise it's one Super fantastic app!

I have the 3rd quarter reading but where are my previous quarterlies!! You have deleted them. The other quarterly app allows the user go back as long as the first downloaded quarterly, my husband uses that app! But I love the interface of this one!!! I so unhappy now! I sent an email requesting that my older quarterlies stay on!!! I have enough memory!

Great ccontent and resources, however kept crashing after trying to download the teachers guid for the Primary Sabbath school lesson study, however it worked fine previously and with the adult teachers guide downloaded. Please fix. Not doubt I'll to wait

I was able to view the students lesson and everything was well. But when I tried to view the teachers lesson the app crashed and wouldn't let me back on.

Can you please add the option of choosing whether I want to auto rotate the screen. Reading in landscape mode is rather uncomfortable. Other than that awesome app

Q70%
by Q####:

By far the best in layout and content, but the worst user friendly of the lessons. It is too limited in what you can do, and I can't work out what the icons at the bottom do. I like to highlight information, and you can't do that.

Other than the fact that it closes on me occasionally, this is really the BEST Sabbath school app out there. Very Versatile with lessons for the young ones to the older adults. Plus extras.. Great idea for those interested in every aspect of Sabbath School and the SDA teaching tools. My favorite is watching the mission spotlight and stories about the work being done around the world. It is an encouraging tool for my teenager and others who are interested in the mission field. May God continue to bless you!!

I gave 4 stars because the teacher guide for the beginner quarterly (4th quarter) keeps crashing the app. I have to uninstall and then reinstall.

Keep checking back but sync never completes. Don't release an app until it actually works.

Please have the Bible texts in Psalms work, it never loads the Bible texts, probably as Bible has listed as Psalm.

I like the app but it is full of glitches. Either you can't download the audio, the video or the mission story. It doesn't matter if you have an apple or an android device, the problem is the same. My Bible students are pretty discouraged since it is quite frustrating. I am also very disappointed that after so much time this hasn't been fixed.

Q70%
by Q####:

The major issue i've seen so far is that the app orientation still rotates automatically even when orientation has been locked on the device. It would definitely be a 5 star if it was able to keep screen orientation lock especially when I read while lying down.

Screen rotates despite having that fn off. I have never had a version of this app without serious issues. Very tempting to just stick with the pdf and a pdf reader. ALSO it has copied last week's answers into boxes of the current week.

Q70%
by Q####:

I very much enjoy using this app for my routine study of my SS Quarterly. It is the exact copy of the printed version in e-format. I especially enjoy the ease of just clicking on the scripture links and seeing the texts without having to switch between apps for the Bible. Also, you have the ability to choose either NIV or KJV versions. You can also choose Easy Reading, Collegiate, Teachers, or kids quarterlies. One criticism; when you open the app, it says "Syncing App" whereas all it is doing is opening the last lesson wherever you left off. It should actually sync to the current weeks study automatically. It should be an easy fix, all of our smart devices have built in calendars. Overall, this is my favorite app for the study of the SDA SS lesson.

As a Sabbath school crew member. this app avails me the opportunity to revisit the lessons at any point of the day. But my concern is on the delayed update of a new quarter. Looking forward to third quarter's lesson. God bless you for the good work.

This app is slow to update. We have started the 3rd quarter now and if still hasn't loaded up yet (Regarding CQ)

X70%

It is amazing, only it doesn't have the activities. It would be better with that, but I guess it'll be OK. You should definitely download this app, though! If it has a few glitches it might be your phone because this app is a MUST!!!!!

U70%
by U####:

I had my reservations when i downloaded this app because of the negative feedbacks. Contrary to those feedbacks the app works just fine. It has all the elements of sabbath school from kinder to adult and it is free. God bless you for this. And to everyone contemplating to download this app go ahead.

Keeps saying "Unfortunately stopped" it really is annoying, please fix and I'll give five stars.

P70%
by P####:

Don't get me wrong, it has everything you need to study your Sabbath School lesson. But the user interface is outdated and I don't find it very intuitive at all. It also has a bit of a tendency to force close.

H70%
by H####:

This closes on me sometimes but it's really good because I can study my junior lesson on there. There is no other app that does all the lessons like this one

R70%

It doesn't give me the lesson I need but other than that its the best
