An editorial reading of the saved reviews

People love YouVersion for putting the whole Bible in their pocket: reading plans, translations in many languages, audio and reminders keep them in a daily rhythm. The nagging review prompt after every share and the popup prayer block annoy them. Some long-time readers say the last year's redesign broke the flow and that streaks now matter more than the reading itself.

What users experience

1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

Some of the plans on the Bible app i really enjoyed, and they were largely beneficial to me. However most of them are rather shallow, and it seems like this app wants you to continue your streak more than study God’s word sometimes.
