### 1/5 — Lies

*2026-07-25*

I was reading the testament of Judah and it number one doesn’t even mention what he did to his brother Joseph or finding him in Egypt nothing and two it lies about Essau coming to fight Jacob that is not supported by the Bible.

### 2/5 — Needs a Better AI for audio

*2025-05-13*

I wanted an app that had audio so I can listen at work. Unfortunately, the audio is really bad. AI audio has really improved recently. I don’t understand why it wasn’t used for this.  The current voice is too robotic and monotone.

### 2/5 — Referências

*2025-03-04*

Gostei muito da estrutura do app, até a disposição dos livros, entretanto não encontrei referência do conteúdo, nem a versão dos autores

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-12-31*

You feel as though it’s a great app already. Although and update so that it can be played white the phone is sleep would be executional.

### 1/5 — Very disappointed

*2024-09-08*

Some of the texts are not true and has been changed compared to the Hebrew version. The Sabbath is not on Sunday, chapter 68.

### 1/5 — only contains preview

*2024-06-03*

not the full texts.  not even pay walled. the text are public domain so the developer is intentionally being a gatekeeper of the full texts. why?  waste of everyones time
