He Reads Truth for Android

I just started using HE READS TRUTH and overall I’m impressed. I’ve used a few different APPs to try and do the same and this is a really fresh approach, good job. Although the APP has been around for a few years, I just discovered it a few days ago and subscribed. I think the APP can be tweaked a bit more to fit an online Men’s Group concept, changing nothing else except featuring devotionals with believing athletes, businessmen, soldiers, others, who we respect as men for their athleticism, etc., as a God-given natural theology in manhood witnessing to God’s greatness and glory (cf. Psalm 19:6 (English 19:5); 2 Timothy 2). They can “spur us on to good works” in our spiritual development through hearing their perspective that we otherwise don’t know or hear when watching sports, etc. The quality of the devotionals are very good. I’m especially impressed with commentary from Andrew Stoddard so far. My first impression was that HE READS TRUTH is like a Bible App that is part of the new global movement like “The Chosen” TV series. A fresh way to deploy God’s Word via an App. HE READS TRUTH also impressed me with their vision like the original Promise Keepers vision promoting godly manhood, fatherhood, and the moral and vital Design Intent of God to create humanity as “male and female” as distinct. This is the “compelling distinction between man and woman which is the salt of marriage [and life]” as Mike Mason wrote in The Mystery of Marriage. Thus, two APPS, HE READS TRUTH for us as men, and SHE READS TRUTH for women, yet united around READ[ing] TRUTH, like a good marriage, the two becoming one, yet distinct and honored as male and female. Well done! May our Father God inspire you with ways to put more of this into your APP! HE READS TRUTH is a great idea and God’s richest blessings, faith, and vision for you all as you continue to seek how to make God’s Word a part of our every day pursuit after God as men in the [online] fellowship of godly manhood and brotherhood. Lofty concepts, yet what we need in these days more than ever. I would suggest listing the developer of HE READS TRUTH as HE READS TRUTH as well to consolidate my first impressions as above. It does matter since “you only get one chance to make a first impression,” and that is the reality of human existence and life.

First, let me just say the content of the app is wonderful. The reading plans are phenomenal and a blessing. Now, the app itself: Wow, there’s so much that could be better. The UI design is questionable at best. Tapping a reading plan always takes you to the previous day instead of the next day you are reading. There’s no dark mode for the reading plans, which is more of a minor gripe, but valid nonetheless since the Bible part of the app has a dark mode. Why does there have to be a huge picture that I have to swipe away to get to the reading plan every single day? Why aren’t the completed reading plans automatically sorted to the bottom of my plans? Why do I have to tap “back” through the huge picture to get back to my days in the plan? Devs: please fix this app, it is not in a great place right now.

The Bible in a year plan is missing August 31 and the entire month of September. It’s also missing many days in October as well. I emailed support and got a reply but nothing has been changed or updated. Disappointing to say the least.

I love everything about HRT except the app! I have had to use the browser for years due to this feature. I have an keyboard case with my Mobile and would love to be able to split screen with my notes, or other resources but it has always only provided the option for portrait mode. I really wish you would offer landscape. This one small feature would be a huge step in the right direction.

Great accessibility but the app is not optimized for an Mobile Pro. A handful of pixels are cut off or the bottom menu and there is not ability to do side by side multitasking. ---- Updated, I really enjoy this company and Bible reading plans. Recommend to people all the time. Yet using on an Mobile pro is not a good experience. No landscape mode, no side by side to read and journal. These two abilities should be a focus and a basic feature on any app in 2021.
