Sabbath School 4

I used to use this app exclusively for my weekly lesson study. But things have changed that have caused me to go to the printed version instead. My three pet peeves with the app are: 1. Bible verses are no longer linked in the lesson. 2. Notes/answers written in the lesson are no longer saved. 3. The app used to save your place so in the morning you open the app and you are already at the lesson for that day. They are little things, but they were enough to get me to switch. I do my lessons early in the morning and need all the help I can get! Now that I do the printed version there is no more finger flicking exercises in the morning, just go to the the folded over page and begin. No more switching apps to look up texts, Bible app ready and waiting. And my notes and answers don’t disappear from my notebook. The app is handy for when I forget to get my new quarterly, as I did last Sabbath. And is okay for travel, I don’t need to bring the quarterly... still need my notebook though. I would switch back to the app full time if it went back to the way it was, but until then, I am stuck adding to the tree death count. One thing I wished the old app had and would love to see in a new version, links to the E.G.W. references. I know that is a lot more space, but if you could come up with a way to link up with the EGW app so you click the link and it opens their app to the referenced selection that would be great!

Like others have stated, for a couple of years this app would install, but when you tried to sync, it would never succeed, so you had the app on your phone but no lesson. I finally removed it as it was useless. I tried again last month and to my surprise, it will now sync and go to a page that allows you to select a week and upload the lesson. The problem is, when you want to move to the next lesson a week later, there is no way to go back to the menu that gives you the option to select your week. The only way I've found to accomplish this is to uninstall the app, then reinstall it. Has anyone at the development team tried to actually use the app? You're going in the right direction. Nice work so far but you're not finished.

I use this for daily study of the adult lesson and stream the children's lessons for kindergarten and primary. For this age children (4-year-olds), the visual videos keep their interest. I like that there is a variety of lessons to choose from for every age. Sometimes a lesson will not load, or is unavailable. This upset me. Then as I read the reviews, I discovered that uninstalling and reinstalling will often fix that issue. Now I'm happy. Thank you for this wonderful resource. I especially like having so many reliable bible story videos to teach my children to love God's word. I'm glad to find that the children's lessons remain available for at least a year. Little kids like to see the same story over and over, helping to fix the lesson in their minds.

I love the fact that this app exists; that is was designed and implemented! I love the convenience of having my and my children’s quarterly with me everywhere. I am however quite disheartened by the lack of attention to details payed by those who manage this app. It is obvious to those of us who use it on a regular basis. Is it possible for the “app master” to please pay attention to the fact that during any given week, many sections of the app do not function as they should, or do not function at all. At times, sections (quarterlies, pages, podcasts, etc,) cannot be opened or downloaded and there is a blank screen where a lesson should be; links to the Bible cannot be opened; typed answers to questions are not saved and disappear when the app is closed; sections of the lessons cannot be highlighted. There. Is. Always. A. Problem! Where is the excellence that is due God’s work? We serve a God of order and excellence. Where is the adherence to the directive of 1 Corinthians 10:13 “ So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God”. Others and I have been frustrated for years by the malfunctioning and under-performance of this app. I pray someone will make it their priority to improve it to the standard to which it ought to be functioning.

This is a handy and convenient tool to study your Sabbath school lesson without having torn or overly folded pages. The draw back is Not having the Bible linked to the verses when you click on it. At first I thought it was something wrong with my phone. I was all in settings trying to find out why my java wasn’t working. This was a great feature bring it back. Also you can’t save any messages in the notes. I’m just writing and it kept disappearing out the space. Once again I thought it was my IPhone and I didn’t have enough space. Wrong!! I have plenty of space. I was told if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Those features were great and didn’t need to taken away from the appt.
