1. ★★★★★nagging popups and donation prompts

   Grifting off spirituality - terrible marketing emails.. I received an email from this company to renew my annual subscription, the subject line said “Your SOUL deserves 40% off” it felt absolutely disgusting and i canceled my subscription. There are better apps out there that are free. My “soul” needs Jesus not discounts.

2. ★★★★★everything behind paywall, should be free

   WHY??. so like every time i see a new meditation or music its free right? i listen to it and then BAM. its locked. i dont know why they have to make everything paid for! its not fair to the ppl who had it for free! let us have new stuff to!

3. ★★★★★little new content, narrator voices, missing settings

   So incredibly didrespectful. The app gives you an opportunity to set the amount of time you want on your devotional. 5 minutes. 10 minutes. 15 minutes. 20 minutes. Etc. If you set the app for five minutes, frequently it will go 7 1/2 or eight minutes. It really does not care what you are trying to do and how much time you have. They will go with what they want to do. Kind of like a preacher who runs Long every single Sunday by 20 minutes because “the spirit led him“. That’s great, but this is an app that’s specific to settings for length. It’s extremely disrespectful to the users time. They can edit it down and do a hard cut off at the designated time. Or at least within 5 to 10 seconds of it. If you do it daily, this happens at least 3 to 4 days a week, so it’s not an isolated situation.

4. ★★★★★free trial trap and hidden charges

   Cancel. Another app with a subscription service I didn’t catch. I don’t use this app and never got a reminder and I can’t find customer support on the app. I don’t trust apps like this. Please give me an email to get a refund (kudl_98@ yahoo. I regret I ever downloaded this app.

5. ★★★★★other

   not inspired. the content doesn't explain what they adk you to confess sins over. unbiblical and not of God.

6. ★★★★★free trial trap and hidden charges

   Misleading Free Trail. The app says that you can try for free for 7 days. But actually charges you and dos not refund. Beware signing up for the free tria.

7. ★★★★★app broke after update, login and crashes

   Awful.. Not happy. I am going to cancel my service. Nothing wants to work in your app tonight. WHAT IS GOING ON!! ?????

8. ★★★★★app broke after update, login and crashes

   App doesn’t work anymore. My wife and I used to use this app daily! Not sure what happened recently, but the app will not load properly. No background noise. Noises are available and it’s very laggy. Please fix it!

9. ★★★★★everything behind paywall, should be free

   Waste. A lot of great topics but unfortunately EVERYTHING I need or want you have to pay for. So with that being said I will stick with YouTube where it’s FREE!!

10. ★★★★★everything behind paywall, should be free

    Locked. I woke up this morning to do my daily time with God .. I opened Abide to see that the daily meditation is now locked.. really?!?!?… I am disappointed… $$$$$$ is the norm… I am surprised u r not charging me just to open your app.. it reminds me when Jesus went into to temple to see it was being used for a profit… shall b looking for another free devotional and deleting this one😟😔

11. ★★★★★everything behind paywall, should be free

    All about money!. This was my favorite meditation app, I used every night after I prayed until I go on to see that they locked everything so you have to pay, I will not be paying!

12. ★★★★★app broke after update, login and crashes

    Stopped working can’t sign in. After years of being a premium subscriber I’ve been unable to log in and use the app the last two days, now all of my streak data is lost and worse - I’ve lost access to the meditations I depend on each day.

13. ★★★★★app broke after update, login and crashes

    App Crash. The app crashed yesterday. This morning crashed again. Staring there was a leak and to change the password. Which states its temp unavailable!!!

14. ★★★★★app broke after update, login and crashes

    Not allowing me to log in. I’m new to the app and was excited for a Christian app that I could use mid day. The app is not working. I’ve tried logging in again and it continues to fail. I’m not interested in investing in an app that’s not going to work.

15. ★★★★★app broke after update, login and crashes

    App Problem -. I have used Abide for years and have loved it with a 5 Star reading. I depend on this App every day and especially use the sleep app at night. But today, when I opened the app, nothing appeared and there is nothing to tap on to get into meditation or anything love. You changed the App and now I can’t get into anything. Fix it back the way it was, keeping it simple and easy or I will have to cancel my subscription. Thank you!

16. ★★★★★everything behind paywall, should be free

    What a great loss!. I have had this application downloaded for years since it was first developed. I used it daily under the free version, until this morning. The app does not let me sign in neither phone nor iPad and I have the latest iOS version. I believe the moment the developers strayed away from being an inspiration and a resource to those in need of a daily devotional and chose to become a money making business by charging Christians for its use via subscription, the entire apps initial purpose and meaning of what abide means went to the garbage. What would Jesus say about your greed!What a great loss!!!!

17. ★★★★★app broke after update, login and crashes

    There’s a glitch!. I love my app, but now I can’t access it! It first started with the music, then the whole app blanked out! I can’t access it on any of my devices! Delete my app please fix!

18. ★★★★★everything behind paywall, should be free

    USING THE WORD OF GOD FOR MONEY IS DIABOLICAL. THIS APP SHOULD BE 100% FREE??? DONT START MAKING ME PAY JUST TO LISTEN TO THE BIBLE ARE YALL OUT OF YOUR MIND??? THIS IS INSANE AND YOUR TEAM SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES🤦‍♂️

19. ★★★★★app broke after update, login and crashes

    Having issues with the app. Just downloaded the app and nothing is working

20. ★★★★★app broke after update, login and crashes

    Update. The new update will NOT let me listen to sleep stories. This is what helps me go to sleep! Please fix this.

21. ★★★★★everything behind paywall, should be free

    Everything is behind a subscription. There’s basically no free function to this. Everything requires membership. Kinda unfortunate.

22. ★★★★★free trial trap and hidden charges

    So sad. Why do you advertise the app as free then after you download it and go through picking out your choices, you are required to pay? That is called deception!

23. ★★★★★nagging popups and donation prompts

    Playing ads. I have loved this app for a simple morning meditation. This morning, however, an annoying ad played right after the meditation instead of just letting the background noise play so I could continue my meditation. If this continues to happen, I will be deleting the app. If you need to play ads, I would suggest you play them at the beginning of the meditation instead and have the announcer use a calm voice instead of announcer voice. Thank you.

24. ★★★★★free trial trap and hidden charges

    Unable to easily cancel the trial period. Shame on the Abide app for making it so difficult to cancel a trial period! I would never think a Christian app would be so deceptive!

25. ★★★★★everything behind paywall, should be free

    Way too expensive watch free on YouTube. I hate when apps say free just to get you to download then want you to pay after a week what a rip off . Especially for a Christian app that should want to share the Bible for free not to rip folks off! No thanks! I’ll just watch free on YouTube .

26. ★★★★★free trial trap and hidden charges

    Not Happy. When I saw this app advertised, and they said that there was a free section that could be used I was excited. When I put my info in the charges appeared. I have been disappointed with other “free” sites and I never remember to cancel in time, so I wanted to try it out. Perhaps I’m missing something. Almost 80 and all this button pushing gets me crazy.

27. ★★★★★nagging popups and donation prompts

    Monetizing Moments. Not happy with the constant advertising. It’s wonderful that is so helpful for some folks. It makes me sad that this is monetized. It should be a mission. I would have it donation based. Jesus: " ‭John 14:15 ESV‬ [15] “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. "

28. ★★★★★everything behind paywall, should be free

    Greedy. Everything is locked behind a pay wall. Useless

29. ★★★★★free trial trap and hidden charges

    Scam. I went to download the app. It wanted my thumbprint so I did it and then it said payment accepted. I was not warned. It was to make a payment. I have no money and now I’m sick to my stomach over this trying my best to get this thing stopped. This is not right. It’s more like Satan is in charge of this website not God.

30. ★★★★★free trial trap and hidden charges

    Pricing. Very disappointing…..you hide the fee until after the download….to me that is very deceitful. Needless to say I immediately deleted the download!!
