### 5/5 — Most accessible version I found

*2024-01-05, version 3.4*

I helped my grandmother in her 90s download this app, since her eyesight no longer allows her to read her Bible. The simple, high-contrast menu and easy navigation were the most accessible I could find and the easiest for her to use of the options I showed her. 
 If I could change anything it would be to have more voice options - there’s nothing wrong with the voice that’s used, but I think she would find a some accents easier to understand. But I appreciate that it’s possible to change the speed of the voice, which is very helpful for her.

### 5/5 — Probably the best app to ever

*2023-01-10, version 3.4*

I never right reviews about any app but I had to about this one. Clean, smooth and easy to use. Wish all apps were like this just exactly what you need without unneeded stuff. Thank you 🙏

### 5/5 — Great!

*2022-06-01*

I love this guy’s British accent.

### 1/5 — Awful narration

*2021-12-02, version 3.4*

I'm afraid this audio Bible could only be worse if it was computer generated voice. As it is it's completely void of emotion and any sort of inflection.

### 4/5 — Good App for off line Listening

*2021-03-17, version 3.3*

Thankful for free download! 
God bless you! 
Only criticism could be louder, can’t hear it with ear buds in noise locations, like at work.

### 4/5 — Nice app love the voice reading but...

*2021-02-10, version 3.3*

I’ve been using the app for several weeks.  It has a nice sounding voice reading but the sound is very tinny.  There’s some kind of echoing going on.  Also the normal speed is too fast but the slower speed is to slow.  Would be great if they could fix these two issues because the app is simple to use and straightforward.  The voice reading is very nice.

### 5/5 — Love

*2020-12-05, version 3.3*

I love this app! This is my 4th time downloading it because I have listened all the way through 3 times already. It tells you what you have listened to so that is why I delete it and download it again. Wonderful!!

### 4/5 — Great app so far

*2020-04-25, version 1.17*

This is a good app so far. It beats the cassettes

### 5/5 — Great for busy people

*2020-02-28, version 1.17*

I love this app it’s perfect for busy people I can put on my headphones or pop in my ear buds And don’t have to give up my Bible study time.

### 1/5 — Irritated

*2020-02-19, version 1.17*

No matter how many times I say no it keeps asking me to rate the app even though I just downloaded it.
