Great from New Zealand
Is great thank you
Haven’t had this much scripture go into my soul band every.
It would be nice to have a section or things that I am currently listening to. I am on the road for work but sometimes I find that that I don’t finnish listening to something say Ester for example.
Today it took me a little bit to remember where it was so I could continue listening.
I did like that it started were I left of though.
So thank you

This app.. I’m speechless!
I love this app because it is beautifully designed. There are four different voices to choose from and the music in the background makes it so peaceful! I love it! It’s so easy to listen to!
However, I do have to say that I was disappointed that there were only eight of the Old Testament books on the app. Books like Deuteronomy and Numbers are usually the hardest for me to read because of all the names and I love going through the Bible each year. Plus, I’m paying for the app, so it’s certainly a disappointment. Another thing that I don’t like is that you can’t change the version of the Bible (it’s in ESV). I prefer CSB over ESV. If you are KJV only, then this app isn’t for you. Plus, it’d be a lot of work to record several different versions, so I understand why it’s in ESV.
This app is beautifully designed as I mentioned before. The version isn’t a make or break feature. All of the Old Testament books aren’t on here currently (if there are, I can’t find them) but there is still so much to listen to! Overall, this app is definitely worth the space on your phone!

Spellbinding!
I am exceedingly grateful to have heard about Dwell via a Facebook advertisement many months ago. This project is one grand step towards restoring the original medium of Scripture: spoken. This can certainly be used with earbuds for individual devotion (I have taken advantage of that), but imagine streaming this through a Bluetooth speaker for your house church, missional community, etc.! The possibilities for edification are endless. That is what I’ll end with: possibility. The gift(s) of each individual involved in this project are an eternal investment in the Body of Christ and I pray that return on investment will be restoring the oneness of believers, whether through a shared pair of earbuds or at a dining room table with a Bluetooth speaker. Thank you, Dwell Team! I look forward to the Spirit accomplishing much greater things than even these!

Best Audio Bible App to date
Super excited about this app. I have been playing with it all day now and it’s super easy to use and very friendly to the ears. The immersive experience which includes narration with subtle music in the background makes this a very relaxing and spiritual experience all around. Being able to change the voice and type of background music is well thought out. I would highly recommend downloading the free version and play with it for yourself. Didn’t take long for me to realize I needed this for my quiet time and I bout the unlimited version which opened everything up. Looks like there are also many listening plans for in-depth studies so looking forward to that as well. Thanks to the developers for this well laid out experience I will be using this for some time to come.

Wow!
What a gift this app is! It has been a long time coming having an bible app built for the sole purpose of simply listening to scripture. This has radically helped me engage with God’s word in a new and fresh way. Thank you team, you’ve done an amazing job developing this app!
I like it a lot
I used to use you version bible app, I stopped because it became more about socializing then reading Gods word. I use currently bible gateway and its ok. I really like Dwell a lot. I can listen and not get bored or distracted while listening.
The readers voice grabs my attention along with the music.
I do read my physical bible in the morning, now reading has risen to a whole new level with listening and reading along at the same time. I will highly recommend this app, as it is better than other apps I have tried that are not mentioned here. I also love that I can set the background music to random or a specific sound or instruments.
This is a wonderful app! Thank you Josh and Jon for developing this app. Gods hand was and is definitely in and on this app. May God continue to bless both of you and everyone who helped with this app.

This app will bring tears to your eyes
I don’t think I’ve ever written a review on anything before, but I felt compelled to after listening to the Psalm & Proverbs plan on this app this morning. I was so looking forward to this app bc I have recently made a commitment to read God’s Word daily. I have listened to a few audio Bible versions, but was really unhappy with the monotone voices that tend to sound insincere. The only word I know to describe this app is just “beautiful.” The voices sound so sincere and that is a BIG deal to me and the music is beautiful as well. I like how you can search for the books/scriptures you would like to listen to, or how they are categorized for you for easy access such as The Sermon On the Mount, the Woman at the Well, etc. Thank you and may God bless you guys for creating this app.

Yes! Perfection!
I’ve never reviewed an app before, but Dwell is so gorgeous and life-enhancing I want everyone to know about it.
I own several scripture apps, but Dwell is in a league of its own. Finally instead of robo-narration I can listen to nuanced, thoughtful narration of the Bible (ESV translation of all the New Testament and several books of the Old). You can even toggle between narrators (my fave, Felix, is African). There’s peaceful background music to the reading that really enhances it, and clever volume controls so you can decided your own balance of voice and music. (I turned the narration down and just played the music to put my toddler to bed tonight. It’s so peaceful.)
And on the aesthetic side, this is just a stunningly beautiful app. Plus although I like listening chronologically I appreciate how many categories of smaller listening packages there are (Messianic Psalms, for example, or specific doctrinal themes).
I could keep going and going! I’m just so delighted with having found Dwell. I’ve already told my whole family about it. Honestly it’s the rare app you could gift someone and they’d be thrilled. Really deserves 6 stars out of 5.
In future updates, I’d love to see another translation included, and another female voice. (Currently 1 of 4). An easier way to listen to just the music would be helpful as well.

Absolute Wow!
I’m impressed with this app so far.
I like the voices. I love the pace. I always found other narrated bibles too quick. I’m the kind of reader who isn’t in a rush as I read. I like to be at a pace to really think it over as I go. I also really like the music options, and all the various plans and arrangements to listen through. I’ve listened to audio Bibles my whole life, and this is a fresh approach to it.
One thing would be neat, if I could download everything, rather than stream.
I don’t have a lot of data, and I have no home internet. If I were able to download, it’d make it better. $43-ish for a year in Australia is fine with me, and I expect it will bring continued support and updates for this superb app. I will be listening to this as much as I can! Dependant on my data allowance that is. Good job Dwell App!
