Absolutely LOVE this!
Not only is this a wonderful app, (I listen to it everyday) it’s also managed by a really awesome team. Very quick and helpful with their responses to my questions. For example, I play the app when I travel and also at night and thought it would be a great idea to have a timer of sorts. I suggested it to them some time ago and they responded that they would give it some thought. When they added the functionality, they sent me another email to let me know. I have lost count of how many people I’ve told about my love for this app. What a blessing! Thank you for all you do. May God continue to bless you and your families as you continue His work. Please remain faithful, it won’t be long. Get ready, get ready, get ready.
God bless,
Marcie

If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It!
By the time I got the app, it worked beautifully. They gave it a recent update, and removed some of the words. Also, now, for the first time, we’ve experienced the words garbling. They’ve also speeded up the pause between chapters so that you have to be really on your toes if your daily reading does not include the next chapter.
Why speed it up? No reason, and it sounds stupid. Why eliminate the endings to all the books? Compared to the original recording it just sounds tacky. Why does it occasionally no longer function properly? Not only will the recording be garbled in spots, but it will even suddenly bounce you out of the app altogether, and you’re just looking at the app screen on the phone.
Please, folks! Give me back the app that I paid for. Best of all, sell the original recordings to Olive Tree, and they’ll do it right!
ETA: I was going to rave that they apparently fixed it, although there remained a few bugs. But when I went back to the app to try to open it again on my iPhone, it kept quitting again. At least on the iPad the sound is a bit more even, if occasionally garbled. I hope they get it right — Alexander Scourby’s reading of the Bible is the best there is out there.

Will not update or play
This will not play now that I updated this is on my IPad..
What now.
What now.
I Love This App!
I think the newly updated version of this app is fantastic. I can’t think of any cons whatsoever. I highly recommend it to anyone who’s interested.
DON’T PURCHASE
$20 is the INITIAL charge. The variable speed audio is not included even though the icon is shown in their pictures. $20 is just to download the app. You pay for all the “extras!”
This app has nothing special unless you need to the voice of Scourby, which is still MP3 quality. I am now using the original app that I downloaded previously. Don’t let their marketing fool you. You get no refunds from them!

Common sense and always works
This app is the best bible app I’ve ever used. Are use it all the time, even when I am in the air because it always works as the full audio is downloaded onto my iPad. That’s a large amount of audio, but the benefits are obvious. Highlighting tool, the automatic text scrolling as it is read, the note taking feature, etc all work flawlessly. I only wish this was available for other translations!

From good to great to thieves
First, they stopped updating the app and forced me to buy the upgrade from 2.3 to 4.0. It already cost me $20. Now I've paid twice. Then after using the upgraded app for past few weeks they disable the speed control and force you to pay another $5 to turn it back on! I have bought so many Alexander Scourby recordings over the years and then paid the ridiculous price of $20 to purchase the app- not once but twice now, and then they turn off features of the app that I purchased weeks ago! This is definitely not very Christian like.

MISLEADING
When this update was coming, I thought it would be for the iPad and iPhone. It is only for iPad.
Also, I didn't know you need to pay monthly for the backups. With so many people having this app, why do you need to pay monthly for backups? A better option would be to create an account that lets you sign in and sync with devices.
There needs to be information in the apps description about IN-APP PURCHASES.

Background Noise - Poor quality recording
This is an excellent app - with one exception.
The recording is not clear.
There is a continual background noise all the time which is really distracting when listening
If this was a clear audio recording - it would be well worth the money.
If this can be remedied- which it surely must, then I would recommend it. However the quality of the recording is extremely poor.

Great App!
This is a great app and very worthy of the purchase. The cost is worth it when one thinks of the hundreds of hours of recording and Mr. Scourby's hard work. PLEASE don't let the negative review drive you away - simply put the buyer plainly did not read that there is an iPad version and an iPhone version! It is obvious anger motivated the negative review. I had to respond as a Pastor and tell you the iPad version is worth it.
