He Reads Truth

App will not allow me to download plans

Love the idea of the content but can’t pay the subscription for something I can’t use. Hope you can remedy the issue!

Can’t sign in or subscribe. App doesn’t respond at all.

Unfortunately, I never really got to explore the app because it crashes constantly. Hopefully, they’ll fix it at some point.

My wife loved She Reads Truth so I’ve wanted to try He Reads. But every time I try to open the app, it freezes or crashes. She Reads is basically the same so I guess I’ll use that one.

This has been my Bible app of choice for the past several years because it has a super clean aesthetic and generally works well. I can’t give it more than three stars though for two reasons. The first star was lost because I have an unresolved issue with my profile photo having become a grey circle instead of the original initials. I reached out to the developers a few years back but they said they couldn’t do anything. I recall reaching back out a year or so after that to see if there had been any advancements and got no reply. The second star was lost because the translations offered are very limited, and they only include the translations you are likely to see in conservative evangelical circles. To be fair to the developers, those circles are probably the majority of their customer base, but the results is that other translations like the NRSV or CEB aren’t included. A more ecumenical assortment of translations would benefit everyone involved in my opinion.

The devotional is very good. The intro summary shows up after the text which seems weird because it tells to read the text that you just read. The other weird thing is posting comments onto the chat board is very dysfunctional. I hit the return to go to a new line and majority of the time it posts the comments when I didn’t want it too. The other thing is when a post a second comment it reposts the first comment and deletes what I wrote.

App needs some help on the iPad. It freezes constantly and then boots me out.

The plans in the app are great and a good price But I can’t hardly navigate through the app without it crashing over and over.

He Reads Truth has tremendous studies that take you deeper. Unfortunately, the app has too many bugs and glitches to function. I have the HRT subscription, but can hardly use it due to the app crashing consistently. This could be a wonderful app for lots of people, but it will take investing in the functionality of it. The content is there; let’s get the functionality there as well.
