  • Very useful app

    I'm finding this app great for my personal Bible Study. I have my reading plan, am sent a reminder every morning, and use the commentaries for added information. But what I miss is not being able to highlight text for future recognition. Also a copy and paste function would enable text to be added to the notes which I am also using as a journal.

  • Thank you for so many translations!

    I love this app for it's many translations, that you can listen to the Bible being read and the reading plans. Thank you for making this all freely available!
  • Love the extra resources, wish the search was not scroll

    I have always used Bible gateway when I didn't want the NIV translation I love the fact there are so many different translations available to me as I prefer the NLT or the NIVUK. I love the resources like the devotionals, reading plans and reminders all set in one place in the app that way I don't have to set an alarm in my calendar or I have separate notes on my phone and it's all there in the Bible app. I absolutely love how I can search for a verse by knowing the key words and it pops up in the search.
    I only wish when I search directly for a chapter and verse that I could input the numbers instead of scrolling because it is time consuming. Granted sometimes it's good to know the context of the verse especially in the Old testament but not always necessary in the New Testament.

  • Font size

    Have found the font size really small and makes it difficult to read since the last update.
  • The new version has issues

    I would have given the previous version 5 stars, but this latest version is not as easy to navigate. I HATE the new pop-up navigation banner in the reading pane. It used to be a stable header, but now it's just a pop-up, which doesn't work as well as the old fixed banner. When you're in the reading pane, if you scroll up or down too far the pop up navigation banner disappears and won't come back so you can't navigate anywhere else in the app or pull up the audio. Also, the old navigation banner automatically adjusted to where you were if you scrolled to a new chapter. But you have to manually change the location in the new banner if you want the reading pane to open up on the new chapter the next time you use the app. I often wind up having to completely close the app and reopen it to manually select my next chapter or to get to other areas of the app.

  • Love it

    I love being able to sync my account to multiple devices but sometimes when I load up one of my favourited verses it doesn't show the star or highlight. Also, the highlighted verses can't be searched on the app. You can only see everything that you have highlighted on the website version.
  • Multiple translations & continuous audio

    This is the only audio bible app I have found that comes in multiple translations such as KJV, NIV, NKJV AMP and 37 more plus it will play continuously from chapter to chapter and book to book until you stop it. Plus you can easily look up things and visually read it instead of audio if you want.
    The only problem I have is that often it crashes with the audio. I contacted support who told me to go to settings and click "sync now" and/or completely shut off the phone and restart it. Sometimes it goes days with no problems other times I have issues every night. Hoping they find a fix for it. Other than that I'd highly recommend.

  • Life CHANGING💗💗

    I love this app so much and it has allowed me to read the Bible more often and seek the Lord. I use my headphones and use the "dramatized" version on the audio bible and follow along on the regular Bible reading and I understand it so much more. I started to use the reading plan and using the audio to complete it and it's great because you can get reminders everyday reminding you to read. I plan on writing about what I know from the scriptures in my prayer journal. The only thing is that the reading plans don't have an option where you read Genesis to Revelation which I would prefer but the app is still amazing and I love it and I encourage you to get it to get you closer to Christ with scripture :) ps I highly recommend the NIV version of the Bible because other ones like the KJV are hard to understand in my opinion and the NIV is really easy to read and understand for a 12 year old like me.

  • Thank God for this app

    I love this app I am visually impaired and it is very difficult for me to read the Bible giving that I can no longer read text I struggle with following Sunday service because I can't read the Bible when everybody else is reading it but with this app it is amazing I've been reading the Bible I actually started from Genesis and I'm able to sync it to my TV to listen to it loud enough I love this app thank God I hope I hope they make it better so one can get the verses because right now you're only able to get the book and the chapter I want to be able to see the verses or hear the verses so when their church wants us to go to for example Genesis chapter 1 verse 10 I won't have to start from Genesis chapter 1 verse one but I'll just go straight to Genesis chapter 1 verse 10 so fingers crossed and I'm hoping for eight to get even better so I can get the versus I for what it's worth this is the best audio Bible I have come across since I've been downloading series of ups for audio Bible

  • EATING THE WORD

    Wow I have read the Bible more than once. Some books more than twenty times! I tried several times before to no avail. I can read THE WORD anywhere, never been bored again. The Audio is my company on my hourly walks. So excited understanding the Word. Now I can easily connect events from both The Old and New Testaments! The WORD IS ALIVE!
    I tell my children we should read The Bible like we would a book, ready to answer questions from any passage otherwise we cannot pass the exam!
