Great but
The app is brilliant. But I don’t understand the functions. When listening to the yearly plan and I tick that I have read it, it doesn’t keep the information. I have to tick everything I have read again and again. Is that suppose to be like that? I also miss that once I have red a section that I will be taken automatically to the next passage instead of having to find the plan anew each time. What do I do wrong?

Response from developer
Hi Tina! That’s a bug. We’ll have it fixed soon!
Feeds my soul!
Beautiful! Calms and nurtures my heart mind and soul. Using it quietly in the background during my prayer time. After years of Domestic Violence the depression and anxiety lingers at the threshold, when they arise the ability to listen to Gods Word given through the Holy Spirit to godly men in ages past ensures it is well with my soul. Thank you to all those who made this app a reality.

Best devotion app available
Dwell has been totally transformational for my devotion times. Rather than squeezing in a few minutes here and there, I’ve been able to listen to scripture in the car, on the train, while I walk, when I go to bed... wherever and whenever! I’m following plans, listening to recommended playlists and going through books. It’s truly wonderful. I’m also using it in my youth group as a way to get young people listening to and engaging with the Word.

The Only App I Have Ever Cared to Pay For
A few months ago, I started the paid version of this app because it’s the only Bible app that can help me relax and I love the idea that I can have the whole thing read to me if I have a busy day.
This app is wonderful! I’ve never had any problems with bugs or glitches—the whole app is Cadillac quality.
I’ve never once felt the need to get the paid version of an app because I’m a cheapskate, hahaha. But I really felt this one was worth it because it keeps me connected to Gods Word. If you find yourself falling off the wagon when it comes to reading your Bible or even if you have anxiety and need to calm down, this is the app for you. I’ve tried tons of sleeping/calming/meditation apps and none of them compare to this one!

helped me to sleep again! Matthew 11:28 Romans 8:18-19
I heard about this app from a friend, usually I’m the kind of person who reads the Bible whether that be on the app or pick up a Bible I have in my room, and I really have to say this app has already helped me in so many areas of my life and it’s only been a few days of having it on my phone. I used to be heartbroken that I no longer had a partner that I could sleep with on the phone or talk to at night, as silly as that sounds, I wouldn’t even be able to sleep from how lonely I was but this app has made it to where I now sleep early and on time I look forward to only putting on my Dwell app and falling asleep to the peaceful night plan! I’ll even wake up with it still playing and it really changes the atmosphere of every single day. I’m so blessed and grateful that the Lord showed me this app and spoke to me this way! I would like to see however more books of the Old Testament and more translations that I can listen to. Thank you guys❤️ Matthew 11:28 Romans 8:27-29 Romans 8:18-19

How it was heard long ago
I was thinking,dwelling, you might say, on this app and I realized that back in the day this is how people digested the word it was read to them and the people listened. Many things were passed down orally including scripture. And I must say, it’s a different experience listening to it. Gives it a certain life that is hard to achieve by reading. Nothing beats personal study and reflection but it also is a blessing to be at work, not being able to read the word but being able to listen to it. The ambient music is really nice to in just setting a tone to it. Gregory is my go to narrator. Anyway this app has been a blessing especially going through the Old Testament. It made a book like Leviticus, which most people agree is a hard book to read, it gave it new life to me and I appreciated its deeper meanings and I began to realize the theology in it which New Testament writers like Paul drew from.
Thank you for this app.

Innovative, Quality App
The Narrators are very good, they don’t over-do the reading, and they are smooth, consistent, and clear. The Dwell mode (repeating a chapter, book, or playlist) is probably my favorite feature as it allows you to really focus on a particular portion of Scripture for study, contemplation, or memorization. The pre-set playlists also set this app apart, as there are selections with messianic Psalms, or with only Psalms written by David, or with a compilation of Jesus’ parables. I don’t know if any other apps that offer these features, or that execute it so well. I also enjoy the yearly reading plan options with the choice of going straight through the Bible (Genesis through Revelation), or a mixture of Old and New Testament readings, and also the option of doing a seven day a week or a five day a week plan. All in all, I rate this app five stars.
One suggestion that I have is that the developers made a reader option with all of the readers together almost like a dramatized version, but just switch to the female voice when a woman is speaking and switching between the male narrators during conversion. This would require no extra recording, only re-editing and re-arranging when certain voices are heard. This feature in other apps helps me to follow historical stories more easily and it holds my attention better than the traditional single-reader style.

Thankful for Dwell!
Hello! I am on day 2 into listening to Dwell and wanted to share with you what an incredible blessing it has been! First of all, I am the owner of a podcast called Oh Hey Truth, to equip women to know the Word and know how to know it so that they can live it out in their lives! It’s target is 18-28 year olds. We heard about Dwell from several listeners and I finally decided to try it. IT IS AMAZING! Seriously. There was a need and y’all met it. I’m so grateful to have it and now to share it with our listeners.
My second reason is that I have a very painful and all consuming disability that leaves me bed-ridden a lot. I listen to a lot of worship music and try other bible reading apps, but with the pain it was like fingernails on a chalkboard, you know. I really struggled the last 24 hours to get the pain under control with even the strongest of meds. Now, Dwell did not take my pain away BUT it was easy for me to listen to and was so soothing. The music and Rosie’s voice calmed my mind and my spirit. I am so grateful. I may sound like a quack, but I am not. I am just so so grateful that the Lord met me through your app. THANK YOU!

What an incredible app!!!
This is a truly amazing app! I have always struggled with getting into the word daily and this app transformed my life! Through this app I have been given a love for the word of God! I always enjoyed listening to God’s word but I always found the voices to be robotic and male. Having a female voice is so comforting because it sounds more like my own thoughts. I also just listened to the Jesus’s parables playlist and it was lovely to hear and meditate and Jesus’s words. Thank you so much for this wonderful app!
One suggestion that I would have is when you are listening to a plan or a playlist that is reading from multiple places in Scripture having a pause between those different passages or maybe reading the reference before hand. I have found that it is difficult to decipher when one passage ends and the next begins. Also I would love if it was possible to download audio. It would be awesome if I could listen to it on the plane. Also the premium version was quite pricey but a price I am more then willing to pay. Again thank you so much for this app!

Audio Bible?
I absolutely love this app! I am a paid subscriber and I love the different voices and background music. There is no audio Bible like this! HOWEVER, is is not a listen through audio Bible. While the plans they have set up are helpful and you can select an entire chapter to listen to. It is very hard to keep track if you want to listen through the whole Bible. While they do have the listen through in a year listening plan, it’s just not enough for me. I work alone and I enjoy listening to hours of the Bible. I like to get lost in the reader voice while listening but to pull out my phone every few minutes, refresh the app, and then reselect the next chapter is very annoying. I like to be able to hit play once and that’s it. I believe there should be a option for auto play or continues play... besides that it’s the best listen app out!
