Back in 2020 – during those long, dark days of lockdown – I decided to create an app for Understand the Bible. Suffice it to say that it didn’t exactly set the world alight, and I decided to mothball it a few months later. Last year I created Church with UTB, and developed an app to go along with it. Although it still didn’t set the world alight, I have been using it regularly in our own church. With the experience I’ve had of developing the two different apps, I thought the time was ripe for putting that to good use and developing a new app which will combine them both.
So, as of today, the old Church with UTB app will no longer work, and instead you can access it using the new app. I’m pleased with it so far, but there is still plenty of work to do.
However, I’m releasing it now because I’d love your feedback. Please do let me know in the comments what you think of it – if you like it, if you have any comments or suggestions, etc. I’m willing to hear all of it!
I think the new app is a big improvement on both the apps which I’ve developed so far:
- You can do a certain number of courses on the app (I haven’t put in Firm Foundations or the Holiness course, for example), but all the basic courses are there.
- The app will remember where you are up to – i.e. which courses you have finished, which you are working on, and which session you are currently on. (You don’t have to be signed in – it just saves that information to your browser).
- Church with UTB has a new ‘fullscreen’ mode which I hope will make it easy to use on a big screen.
Please do try it, and please do let me know what you think!
