Forward Day by Day

I love this app and just started using it 4 days ago. For the first time I am having trouble with it though. It says I am not connected to the internet and also to retry. I checked my internet connection and in fact I am connected to the internet and am able to play video on Safari. So I uninstalled it and shut down my phone. Then After several minutes I turned my phone on again, reinstalled the app and I am getting the same message. I then checked the internet connection once again and am connected just fine. I have thoroughly enjoyed having this app. Help!

I like this app. It is handy to have the Bible readings, daily office, and the reflection on the readings. However, the font is very small and hard to read. It would be helpful to have a way to increase the font so it is easier to read. I agree with other comments about access to the prayers, A Morning Resolve and A Prayer for Today. It would also be nice to have reminders at certain times of the day that could be set by the user.

We love this app ! Only trouble is from time to time the app, when opened it won’t load. Just the arrow round and round , it seems in fact not to be loading . Same on five iOS devices. Close then open- uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing but the loading symbol. We have hard copies each month as a back up. Any ideas or similar experiences out there ? Hoping to hear back from the developer.

I was so happy to discover in my hard copy of Forward that it can be downloaded to my phone. No more anxiety about getting my quarterly copy at church before they’re all gone : ). What I did notice in the online version is no reference to the author biographies. I always enjoy reading about the person who is contributing each month and gaining perspective of their background and how it might enhance their daily thoughts.

Updated Feb 2018: the journaling date issue is now corrected. Only outstanding issue: need the ability to adjust the font using the iOS font setting. I love using this to pray the daily office. ———- previous review ———- Would rate a solid 5 stars if only I could adjust the font size. Also the journal is one day behind. I would love to make an entry for today - not yesterday. The type is just too small to read comfortably. Otherwise very nicely customizable to stay on the same lectionary cycle as my church. Thank you for making this available! I don’t mind paying for it; Forward Movement does good work with their publications.
