### 2/5 — In English and not free

*2020-05-22, version 1.5*

What you get free: table of contents and a few chapters read in English
For $12.99 you actually get the Vulgate in English. But what I wanted was the original Latin. Keep looking.

### 2/5 — Great app but...

*2020-02-20, version 1.5*

It was good until I was told I need to purchase the rest of the bible

### 2/5 — Poor Reader Quality

*2019-03-04, version 1.5*

Glad to have an audio recording of the Bible, but the readers are terrible! Poor pronunciation and reading ability--pausing in the wrong spots, etc. A real head shaker.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2017-09-07, version 1.4*

Unfortunately I did not notice the audio was streamed instead of embedded as I purchased this for my commute. I can only use it for 1/3 of my commute due to service in the mountains. The audio is poor quality but understandable

### 2/5 — Can't find the Spanish audio

*2015-10-06, version 1.3.3*

If you could help me find the Spanish audio it be great if not I bought that for nothing it said it comes in all languages Spanish was one of them and I can't  find it....

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2014-07-22, version 1.3.1*

Not happy, need my refund. The $9.99 app stopped working. Nobody has responded back to me for almost a month now. I need a refund.

### 1/5 — Catholic bible

*2013-02-21, version 1.2.2*

The person that talking hard to understand and after paying 15$ no upgrade I don't recommend to anybody .

### 1/5 — Crap

*2012-12-18, version 1.2.2*

Don't buy the free version you have to buy the full version for 10.49 you can't use it CRAP.

### 2/5 — No support

*2012-09-08, version 1.2.2*

This app is the only Douay-Rheims Bible available that is spoken.  It stopped working some time ago and the owners have not fixed this app after paying $15.  The accent is grating but is tolerable.  I would not recommend.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2012-05-14, version 1.2.2*

Paid for app. Does not work after update. Please fix.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Poor Audio with lots of static

*2021-09-06, version 1.5*

Because I paid almost $13 for the audio readings of the Bible, I would think it should be a lot better than what I got. The static or the background noise is very noticeable. And in this day and age I would think this would be easily solved. AlsoThe NArrator has a different accent which isn’t difficult But seems strange. I would love to get my money back.

### 1/5 — Not really free

*2020-07-04*

Not really free

### 1/5 — Actually costs $13

*2020-02-22, version 1.5*

You can only get the first two chapters of each book for free. The reader is hard to understand due to the static in the recording and the antiquated translation. This would be fine if it was free, but if you want to spend $13 on it I’m sure you could find a better recording than this.

### 1/5 — 12.99.  Really ?

*2019-12-10, version 1.5*

12.99 for streaming only.

### 1/5 — No production value

*2019-02-06, version 1.5*

I am so disappointed. I am looking for an audio version of the Catholic Bible.  While this is one, the reader is boring... Stumbles over words... And is basically an awful reader.

### 1/5 — This is not a Catholic Bible

*2017-07-01, version 1.4*

The voice is annoying and the quality is poor like it was recorded on a cassette tape and then transformed to MP3.  I was looking for a current approved catholic bible, not this antiquated ... Want my money back!

### 1/5 — Ms.

*2016-11-29, version 1.4*

Poor reading and the reader should have studied the correct pronunciation of biblical names.

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY!

*2016-03-17, version 1.4*

I wish I could get my money back! I couldn't go past 5 minutes with that annoying narrator reading from an old bible!

### 1/5 — Not worth the money!

*2016-02-21, version 1.4*

I couldn't get past chapter 2 of Matthew when it asked to spend another $12.00 for the remaining chapters. Don't bother!

### 1/5 — 1950s style narration

*2014-08-09, version 1.3.1*

I am disappointed that the narrator or reader has a stuffy British accent and sounds like someone who narrated for films or radio in the 1950s. I deleted it. It was not pleasant to my ear.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-07-08, version 1.6*

As of many things, the audio Catholic Bible is a tool. I listen to one chapter each day while I’m having my morning coffee I do many other things throughout today to praise our Lord and Catholic Bible helps me get started.

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2021-07-22, version 1.5*

I love this app. The narrator is great, love the accent and the way he reads. Not sure why so many reviewers didn’t like it. It is a beautiful old translation of the Bible. It is lovely. I was happy to pay for it.

### 5/5 — Perfect fit

*2017-07-09, version 1.4*

This audio recording of the Douay-Rheims (authorized version-- and continues to be) permits anyone with a long commute or degraded eyesight to enjoy Our Lord's Holy Word.  The audio quality adds to the majesty of this timeless translation.  Seek the Word of God, criticize not his messenger nor fret over your needs and comforts.  Wonderful experience-- upgrading today after listening to all of the free content.

### 5/5 — Definitely worth it!!!

*2017-03-06, version 1.4*

I absolutely love this app. It's a good old time kind of voice for the reading of Sacred Scripture, almost like my parish priest reading the Sunday gospel. I love the Bible translation as well. It's very relaxing to listen to scripture while I drive, clean my room, or work on a sketch, etc.

### 5/5 — Traditional Catholic LOVES it!

*2017-02-16, version 1.4*

Don't listen to the other reviews! This man sounds exactly like I want this translation to sound... Lord of the Rings style! Perfect!

### 5/5 — I like it!

*2013-09-08, version 1.2.5*

I love being able to listen to the Bible.  My only complaint is that sometimes due to the narrator's accent, I cannot always understand the Biblical names.

### 5/5 — Mr

*2013-08-27, version 1.2.5*

Verry verry good nicely done.

### 5/5 — Excellent !!!

*2013-05-26, version 1.2.2*

I love the app. And will be happy 2 share with friends and Family.

### 5/5 — Catholic Bible

*2012-07-07, version 1.2.2*

Excellent and well read. This Bible is wonderful to listen too. I wish it could be on the iPhone instead of the Internet.  Pu

### 3/5 — Plays fine if you have Internet

*2018-11-12, version 1.4*

If I could play it off-line I would given it 5 stars. I was rather disappointed when I found out that it was only a streaming app and could not be played offline.
