The problem I described below seems to have been resolved. I haven't seen any objectionable ads for months. ------------------- Very helpful in my morning devotion time. But some of the advertisements for other apps are terrible! One says, "God needs you to install this app." Really? I didn't think God had any needs!

Great app, but the section labeled Today's Inspiration is freezing up on the first screen. This happened once before. Thanks! Unfortunately the app is still glitching and it's happening to other people as well. I hope there is some way the developer can fix this. Thanks.

Updated Review: I am sad to say, I have had to down grade my 5 Star review. I love Streams In The Desert devotional and have used it for several years however the app has become so glitchy it's almost impossible to use on my phone - The newer versions function poorly at best! I have uninstalled and reinstalled but to no avail. I do hope the developers see my review and address the freeze up issues. Please help! I hate to have to find a replacement devotional!

What has happened to the voice reader?!!! The robotic voice is the only one to choose. It is horrible! Help! The audio settings WERE really great but now I've had to uninstall.
