Almost always this is the phone, not the app: Android power-saving can stop apps waking the device. Check three things in your phone's Settings. First, Battery → find Morning Manna → set it to Unrestricted (Samsung calls this “Never sleeping apps”). Second, Apps → Morning Manna → Permissions → make sure Alarms & reminders and Notifications are allowed, and that the app can appear on top / display over other apps. Third, check that Do Not Disturb allows alarms. The app also shows a “Wake-up safeguards” card that walks through these on your device.

The alarm never goes silent. If the day's chapter isn't on your phone — no connection overnight, for instance — the app plays a chapter you've already gathered, and if there isn't one yet, a chapter that ships with the app. The Home screen tells you the night before what tomorrow's alarm will play.

No new chapter is released on Saturday or Sunday. A weekend alarm plays one of the chapters you gathered recently, chosen for the day. Saturday's Home card looks back at the week you gathered; Sunday's rests and shows the week ahead.

A new chapter every Monday — your Weekly Manna — which your alarm plays all week; alarms; read-along text; the journal; your streak and Journey; and joining groups. None of it expires. Premium adds a fresh chapter every weekday, favourites, and leading a group.

Subscriptions are managed by the store, not by us. On Android open the Google Play app → your profile picture → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Morning Manna. You keep Premium until the end of the period you've paid for. Refunds are also handled by Google Play under its refund policy.

Open the app while online and give it a moment; it checks your subscription on launch. If it still shows Free, open the Premium screen and look for Restore purchases. If that doesn't work, email us with the store order number (from your Google Play receipt email) and we'll sort it out.

No. Chapters delivered to you while you had Premium stay in your library. What changes is that new weekday chapters stop arriving; you continue to receive your Weekly Manna each Monday.

Ask the leader for the group's invite code, then in the app open Groups → Join and enter it. You'll choose a display name that other members see. Joining is free.

No. The group shows how many members gathered on a morning, never who, and small counts aren't shown at all. That's a deliberate design, and it's the same for leaders and members.

Open the group and use Leave in its menu; leaving also stops you seeing that leader's notes. To report a note, use Report on the note itself — a copy of it comes to us so a person can review it even after the note expires.

Only on your phone. We never see them. That also means we can't restore them if you uninstall the app, clear its data, or switch phones — an optional backup is on our roadmap, and we'll say so here when it exists.

Uninstalling the app or clearing its data removes everything on your phone. If you belonged to a group, email us and we'll remove the group data linked to your device. Full details are in the Privacy Policy.
