App is crashing bad

I was randomly logged out and I when I try to log back in it’s starting me back from level 1 when i was on level 3. My data has been deleted and o don’t know why. Shepherd was good until it started crashing. Also, when I open Shepherd immediately all I see is the screen telling me to do a trail subscription and I’m not able to leave that screen. I’m upset because I really liked Shepherd so far but I can’t even use it anymore since it keeps crashing.

Helpful but now it’s broken

I’ve been using it since it came out and I’ve missed 2 or 3 days and I come back and it has signed me out? I tired using my Apple ID to come back but it said no but when I make a new account it won’t let me past the subscription but I don’t understand because Shepherd has the free version, there’s no X or Skip to pass it and I can’t pay for it bal please find a way to fix this or just say we need to pay to use!!!

I liked it at first.

There are days that I struggle to open my Bible, and I thought this would help. The first couple of days, it would only have me read one chapter of Genesis, but it said I read three. I got my sheep from 50 hearts to 67, and I skipped a couple of days. I decided to do the reading before I got out of bed in the mornings, but when I went to do that this morning, I was logged out of my account. Shepherd made me sign in using my Apple account, but when I went to log in, it said they couldn't find an account under my Apple ID, so I'd have to make a new one. I fall off for a couple of days, so I have to start all over?

Forced to pay??

I had Shepherd for a while. Easy download, no additional purchases needed, it’s a great app. It helped me with my struggle to read the Bible everyday. When I first downloaded Shepherd and opened it, there was always a screen asking if I wanted to buy the premium subscription or something along those lines. And there used to be an “X” or some kind of skip button. Well, the next time I opened Shepherd , it had logged me out. That’s weird in itself but what’s even weirder is when I logged back in only to see that that screen where it’s asking if you’d like to buy the subscription can’t be skipped. There’s a gold button at the bottom saying “Claim my free week” but no “X” where you skip it. I’d find it odd that you’d pretty much force those who downloaded your app and have had it for a while to pay after all this time but if that’s not the case, I hope it’s just a bug or a misunderstanding.

Friends

Shepherd is amazing! I’ve been recommending it to all my friends and 7 people have downloaded it in this week alone. I love the cute widget that comes with it as well. The only thing is, I would love for there to be a way to add friends and then maybe if we’re on Shepherd at the same time our lambs can interact or something like that. I just think it would be cool to have friends and maybe be able to visit their lambs (maybe even feed someone else’s lamb with extra Bible reading) and be able to see their streak so we can congratulate each other. Overall, great app!

Seriously good app

I’ve been waiting for this to come out for a while ever since I’ve saw it on Instagram and I was not let down with the results. I love Shepherd so much. I’ve only been using it for a couple of days, but I already know that’s gonna help make a difference in my faith. I think a really cool thing to add would be almost like a Journal thing where you can write your own little entries when stuff happens that either tests your faith or proves it or just like writing about your religious journey. But other then that it’s a great app!!

I love it!

This is a great app to take a little time out of your day to spend with God! I saw it on instagram and instantly downloaded it. I know it’s still new but I would love to see features with maybe some notes on the side of scripture so if i don’t understand something I can click on the side and get a simpler meaning. I would also love like some trivia about what I just read or just overall of the bible so that my basic knowledge could become deeper. Overall though this is a great app for reading the bible everyday!!

Great until it wasn’t

I have been following Shepherd for a while on instagram so when it finally came out i was so excited. I got Shepherd but then after the first animations the screen would go blank. I have redownloaded Shepherd and updated it and refreshed so so many times but the first animations are still adorable and really fun. I really hope I can use Shepherd so if anyone else has experienced the same thing and got past it please let me know.

Absolutely Amazing!

I have been using Shepherd for a few days and I can definitely say it is helping to keep me accountable with my scripture reading and praying. I love how Shepherd is set up. A path like Duo but with its own checklists. I can’t wait to see where Shepherd will go and where it will take my faith!

this app is brilliant

the idea itself was incredible. I’m very active on Instagram and saw Shepherd on my FYP. (Or ideas of it at least.) And now that’s it’s out? let’s just say I’m not disappointed at all. It’s amazing, deserves everything good, and overall brilliant. I can’t wait to see where Shepherd goes from here! 🤍✝️🐑

Shepherd

I’ve had Shepherd for about 2-5 days and it’s wonderful! I really like the idea of having a bible app similar to Duolingo to help people grow in their faith. I know you guys are working really hard on Shepherd but I feel like an eventual good update would be widgets to help people remember to take care of their lamb. You guys are doing a great job!

Love this app!!

Absolutely a MUST HAVE!! It is so helpful for someone like me who struggles with daily Scripture reading!! Its so customizable and has personalized plans! I dont even have the premium version and I still enjoy it tons!! I do wish there was a ‘high light’ or ‘save’ feature, but im sure Shepherd will continue to improve! 10/10!

Love this app

Overall Shepherd is very simple in the best way possible. I love how with two simple clicks I’ve read my Bible today. One bad thing about Shepherd is it ALWAYS asks for you to review it. Which kinda stinks but not really that bad. If you want to get closer with God I highly recommend using Shepherd. It makes being consistent so easy.

Great App!

I absolutely love Shepherd!! Don’t get me wrong me wrong, there are definitely quite a few glitches and flaws, but it has so much potential. Even with the glitching I am still able to enjoy it and I love all of the features. One feature I would suggest to add is possibly more bible versions like NLT or ERV, and also change up the prayer helper. I like the prayer generator, but it sort of gives you the same thing every time just with one or two words swapped out, so it doesn’t give you much room to practice your praying and instead just gives you one. All in all this is seriously a great app and I really hope the developers are able to fix up the flaws and overall make this a pamphlet even better app than it already is.

I’m so grateful

I’ve been so excited for Shepherd to come out and I’m super excited to be able to have a deeper relationship with Jesus. Thanks so much for your help! I haven’t started very much but if you haven’t added it already, can we have a dress up feature for the lamb please?? It will help me, and other people to be more motivated 💗✝️

LOVEEEEEE

I love Shepherd so much and thank God that I found it! It is so cute and adorable and it helps me read the Bible everyday and I enjoy doing so!! If you have kids or teach at church maybe, Shepherd would be great for them!!! Or for yourself to because it’s just so cute! I love Shepherd and will use it daily! Thanks for the great work on Shepherd! Even though I am a stranger, You all get my full support 😊!

May God bless all who read this and encourage them to read the Word daily 🙏 amen!

Everyone needs this app!

Lowkey I went into Shepherd with the highest expectations and yes it was that and more! I love that you could pay if you want to add but if not it works amazing as well! It is the cutest thing and a really great must have to read my Bible! I have told my family and friends about Shepherd and they are all downloading it!! I highly recommend! (Let me know if you guys are gonna add Spanish to this cause my family would love to use it!)

This is a really good app

I really like Shepherd now it did just come out but I use it 2 days in a row so far and had absolutely loved it it’s so good I think it will help me use it every day now at first since I got it the day it came out I did have some trouble with it but it’s fixed now and so I love it you should definitely get it if you have a busy life or you just wanna biuld a relationship with Jesus and learn a lot abt it I spend abt 25 minutes on it each day it’s so good u should definitely try it

Great! However

The whole app so far is amazing but there is one thing that would be super helpful. I’ve been trying to read the whole Bible chronologically and I am currently in 1 Samuel. However, when I opened Shepherd and selected the Chronological option, I skipped to 1 Samuel to pick up where I left off and read a few chapters but it didn’t count it as my daily need for the sheep…and it wouldn’t allow me to press the “finish reading” button. It would be nice to have a feature for the chronological aspect that allows people to start where they left off instead of starting in Genesis 1. I really don’t want to have to restart all my progress just to use Shepherd.

Suggestions for this app

I really love Shepherd but I want there to be games like after you read then you have a game about the chapter or I want there to be like a scene when you read so you can see what it was like or I want there to be a reading check to summarize the chapter to better understand the chapters but I really want there to be games real acting to the chapters
