I haven't had one issue with it so far. I love the layout so far, the daily verse, and devotions. Just what I need! So glad WELS has an app!!

The app works very well on my phone, but I can't get it to show the verse of the day, the daily devotion, or the Bible reading on my tablet. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I've looked into my security settings. I'm hoping this is a glitch that will be fixed.

I really enjoyed this app when the audio devotions were built into the app. With the new updated app, I'm instead directed to a webpage outside of the app. Having the audio built into the app made more sense, I hope it is changed!

Call reports should be able to be opened up in the app. Not a website then a pdf download to open another app to read the pdf.

Could be better... More Bible(maybe online copy) with historical/translational footnotes. Maybe audio of common/not-so-common hymns being sung? Bible/WELS FAQ page? Otherwise, I've had no problems with this, technical or otherwise.

Not much to this app. I was expecting more resources for studying the Bible. This app feels slapped together.

Liked it much better before the update. Why does the daily devotion now take you to a Web page. Also wish there was a new weekly video serman.

Love the app, let's me access all kinds of information from the WELS website much more easily. Have installed on Nexus 7 and GS3. GS3 can be a little temperamental with loading at times. One suggestion; make it so that hitting the back key (Android OS) doesn't continue to cycle through your entire history in the app. Have it stop at the home screen and then quit on the next press.

The content is fantastic. However on my s4 this app uses about 500 mb a month just downloading stuff in the background. Because of this I can only use it when connected to Wi-Fi. Other than that it's a great way to read devotions daily!

I downloaded this hoping there would be a Bible in it. There was no Bible where you can go look up random verses...
