First 5

Best Bible study community in the world. I am from South Africa and this app changed my relationship with the Creator of the Universe!

I'm failing to log in with my Facebook account or my email. Last week I was logging in with no problems..

Downloaded this but can’t even create an account says every email address I type in to use says email in use and won’t allow me To get any further. I even went as far as to make a completely new email and it won’t let me passed the create account screen. Really disappointing.

Aesthetically pleasing and calm vibes come from this app, but I have encountered a few issues and have some suggestions. I reached out to customer service and Angie clarified a few things - the 'current plan' is the one that will show upon opening the app and when clicking the 'First 5' button on the bottom toolbar, however wish that wasn't the case. I feel it would be more beneficial for the plan that shows upon app opening should be the one the user is currently following. The current plan isn't relative to me at this moment and feel that in order to keep the app as close to the heart as possible it should allow for more customization. The app also defaults to the ESV, but it would be a lot more user friendly if all throughout the app the version displayed would be the one selected in the options menu rather than the pre-selected one. Again, takes away from the customization feel of it all. Lastly, the app is glitchy! Sometimes I come to a white, blank screen and other times the app is far outstretched to where the wording is cut off. I have to force close and reopen that app to try and load it correctly; I shouldn't have to restart my entire device as suggested. So, it's safe to say that the app needs stabilization and am considering deleting and possibly redownloading at a later time. I genuinely enjoy the feel of the app and am hopeful for fixes, but it's too wonky at the moment.

I love this app. I love the weekend lesson because i can listen to it instead of reading. I wish the daily lessons had audio also. I get more out of listening instead of reading. Overall it is a great app.

I’m very new to the app and community but loving it so far! I hope they will add a dark mode in the future. It’s pretty bright using it first thing on dark mornings.

I could not love this app more! First 5 is so easy to use, very beginner friendly, and beautifully formatted! Every weekend there is a 15 min discussion over the past weeks “lessons” and every week day there is a chapter to read and a detailed overview on it. There is also a spot for you to join bible groups to learn even more about His Word. And the best part - NO IN-APP PURCHASES!! Everything is free and there are no fees for anything. The best app I have ever downloaded!!!!!!!

This app doesn’t state that you have to be 18+ to have an account unless you look far into their terms of use. It needs to be much clearer because I’m extremely sad that I can’t talk to and pray for and encourage any of the people that I connected with on the app because I’m a minor. And multiple other people I met who were also minors were very very confused. Please make this easier to see from the sign up page because frankly most people aren’t going to read enough of the terms of use to find this unless they are looking for it.

I don’t write app reviews, but I love this app and the Proverbs 31 team. About a month and a half ago, I was broken up with. I discovered Lysa Terkeurst’s books online, and although I’ve seen them before, I never read them or knew much about Lysa. (I come from a denomination that didn’t introduce me to her work.) I was absolutely heartbroken and had gotten so far from God in that relationship which was unhealthy. The culture around me has also been so negative and confusing with politics and all. Anyway, from Lysa’s books, I discovered the Proverbs 31 Ministries YouTube channel and have loved the therapy and theology episodes that have been so illuminating; I wish I discovered those videos while in the relationship. After looking around, I discovered this app, and I am grateful for how comprehensive the Bible plans are, for how aesthetically pleasing the app is, and for the sense of community and peace it brings me as I dive deeper in my faith and heal during this difficult time. It may seem silly, but the UI/UX and graphic design of this app really does make me WANT to open it and read the Word. Thank you :)

Love it or hate(?) it, every Bible app should have the almost 400 year old KJV…the version that changed the world, that martyrs helped produced, and that was the culmination of 2000 years of God’s preservation of His Word. Its omission makes a statement.
