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. ### 4/5 — Great app so far *2020-04-25, version 1.17* This is a good app so far. It beats the cassettes ### 4/5 — Blessings *2020-02-16, version 1.17* I thank God for your titanic work! You should use somebody who is using properly the Rrrrrrr ### 4/5 — Nice *2020-01-31, version 1.17* I enjoy being read the Bible. The narrators voice is very pleasant. However he speaks way too quickly and I wish it could be slowed! ### 5/5 — Grateful *2019-04-29, version 1.17* I’m so thankful for this app I love it so much it’s wonderful. ### 3/5 — Love the heart but *2019-04-21, version 1.17* It does not play continuously the chapters - I want to hear the entire Book of Romans but it stops after each chapter ### 3/5 — Quite good, but can improve ☺️ *2019-04-01, version 1.16* Whilst I agree with other reviews that the chapters require individual downloading I was happy once download was complete. I’ll get used to the reader’s style. I have heard other readers with more conviction and meaning. My issue is that I would like the reading to continue throughout the chapters. This would greatly assist if one was driving. You could just set and listen to the Word while driving. But over all its okay. Thanks. ### 4/5 — Great app but has room for improvement *2019-03-15, version 1.16* I love the app and use it daily, but it would be better if when you hit “download all” it actually did just that and downloaded all chapters. It would also be better if the chapters downloaded in order (1, 2, 3, 4 etc) instead of appearing backwards in the list. The only other thing that could make the app better is if I could download the entire bible at once, or the entire New Testament at once. But other than those couple of small nuances this is a great app. ### 4/5 — Love This App...but - *2019-02-15, version 1.16* I love this app. I use it everyday and look forward to each morning as I start my work and begin playing every book. The only complaints I have are that any book with over 18 chapters doesn’t download all of them even though I have selected “download all” and the book of Ezekiel is really messed up. Normally when a chapter starts being read that chapter also displays on the screen so you can follow along. Ezekiel’s first couple of chapter start out fine. But when chapter 3 starts, there are skip, in the dialogue and then suddenly chapter 4 is brought up. After about 10 seconds chapter 5 is up. The reading has gaps and holes and then up pops chapter 6. There is no feature to reset the chapter or redownload them, so I have to move on to the next book :( Hopefully there won’t be any issues with other longer books. I haven’t downloaded Psalms yet. I have plenty of room on my device, so space isn’t the issue. Pleas - fix Ezekiel’s narrations! ### 5/5 — This app is awesome. *2019-02-03, version 1.16* It makes it easy to follow bible readings, it works well for me! ### 3/5 — Can’t review what is not even downloaded *2019-01-15, version 1.16* Hard to review something that you haven’t even read. It was really annoying to have that keep popping up all I’m trying to download stuff ### 5/5 — Used along with reading *2019-01-08, version 1.16* Today was the first time I used the audio version and the app did as I expected. I followed along in my bible as the audio played. It will be a useful tool to have while driving and to have on hand when I just need to hear the word. Thank you for this app. Especially, the fact that it’s free is a plus one star. ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-01-01, version 1.0* Great app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Won’t play *2019-05-03, version 1.17* The app downloaded only some of the books and won’t even play a single one of them. Continuously giving error message that can’t find the file and yet the files are downloaded. Tried deleting and reloading the app but nothing is working still. ### 1/5 — There is no auto play who wants to keep selecting a chapter every two minutes *2019-02-11, version 1.16* There is no auto play who wants to keep selecting available every 2 minutes ### 1/5 — Reads too fast *2018-06-07, version 1.16* The Bible is a complex read let alone listen. ### 1/5 — No good *2017-06-20, version 1.13* Does not work. ### 1/5 — Not very good. *2015-02-08, version 1.9* My first complaint is that each chapter of every book has to be downloaded individually and it takes ages to download a single chapter. Secondly, the reader sounds very uninspired - monotoned and quick paced as if he was rushing to finish. I was very disappointed. ### 2/5 — Download *2017-11-16, version 1.14* My downloads didn’t upload simultaneously. I’m not sure why. ### 3/5 — Unsure *2019-08-18, version 1.17* I have to download the books, and I haven’t heard it yet to know how to rate. While downloading it ask me to rate. ### 3/5 — Bible *2019-08-04, version 1.17* He reads to fast to understand ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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!! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Dave *2020-02-16, version 1.17* This app is very great and has great quality reading I love this app and that’s why I gets five stars ### 5/5 — Review *2019-11-17, version 1.17* God bless you for allowing us to use it for free. ### 5/5 — Mrs *2019-10-30, version 1.17* Great but would be better if there was no need to click on arrow to go to next chapter. Could it run continually until one clicks on stop? ### 5/5 — amazing app I love it *2019-08-31, version 1.17* I hate reading but I love to listen ### 5/5 — Great App For Blind *2019-05-20, version 1.17* I am a blind Christian, and having this app has made it very easy for me to study the Bible !!!
