I love this app and it helps me get through the day and honestly my notifications pop up at the right time. If I start to think something I almost immediately get a notification that either validates what I was thinking, clarifies things, or gives me advice for the future. I almost always wake up to some notification that their applied to something I went through the day before or will pertain to something I will face that day. Several times I have woken up a little confused because I don’t know the what the notification is pertaining but as the day goes on I end up realizing it and what it related to. But the crappy thing is you can’t ever see the notification you received again if you have swiped it off your lock screen. I tend to screenshot them but then they just get lost in my photos. But I wish there was a way to click on the app and be able to see what notifications have been sent to you in the past 24hours. That way we can put the advice to use

i was recommended this by a girl in my yearbook class freshman year. she always talked about how it motivated her throughout the day and never failed to make her smile. i got the app and each notification was relevant to what i needed to hear. but then, that changed in November. i barely got my daily notifications i was promised. i started to question if the app was still up and running, but i kept getting the annoying “expand your business with us!” notifications and i wouldn’t be questioned. i was on my phone one night on the way home and all these alerts came up, and it was them sending out missed days of alerts. i got quite annoyed with it, as i was supposed to get them at a certain time. i then stopped getting them completely in February, and noticed beforehand that they were repeated to what i’ve seen before. i then deleted the app in late May after finding out the company isn’t really Christian based at all, it’s just motivational quotes they pull out of archives. if you want to support a Christian based company that will send our Christian based quotes instead of society standpoint, check out Eternal Sunshine. it has replaced my Sprinkle of Jesus and is the cutest app!! no annoying alerts like this app does. i used to vibe with this, but i couldn’t after hearing the true basis of the company. truly disappointed.

When I first downloaded this app, I REALLY liked it. I even told all the girls in my Bible Study about it. But over time, I started liking it less and less. - The first time I had a problem with it was when they had the notification about Trump not letting Jesus back into the US. Not a necessary comment; I don’t believe that politics should ever be mentioned in an app like this. - I am also not a fan of all the ads for curly hair/blemished skin. Definitely not necessary for an app where Christian encouragement is the highlight. I think those ads are pointless and unneeded. - Lastly, I don’t like all the grammatical errors that occur in several notifications. Every few notifications I receive seem to have some sort of spelling error. I would greatly appreciate a spellcheck before sending notifications out. Included in this, something VERY important: God’s names, and all the time He’s being referred to, should ALL be capitalized. “He,” “His,” etc. should all start with a capital letter. I don’t think that’s too much to ask. Overall, I’m becoming more and more disappointed in this app. So much, that I’m close to deleting it. Which is a bummer because at one point, I really enjoyed it.
