I like that I can choose my version. The light dramatization keeps me tuned in. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-30, version 3.14.12* Greatness is The Lord !! ### 5/5 — Best bible app *2026-08-29, version 3.14.12* I love it. I love the music in the background too. ### 5/5 — The best audio Bible! *2026-08-29, version 3.14.12* I really love Bible.is and I am sad that it is about to be discontinued. The new version “Hosanna Audio Bible” they are replacing it with is lacking the best features. The new version doesn’t auto highlight/scroll the text that the narrator is reading so it’s hard to follow along. Also, it doesn’t let you select text that you want to press “play” from, highlight, or annotate. ### 5/5 — Best audio bible *2026-08-29, version 3.14.12* This app is apparently being discontinued but I wanted to say this is probably the best audio bible. The voice actors and background make it engaging and easy to listen to. I’ve spent the past 4 years listening to the entire bible at least once and this app has just made listening to the bible something to look forward to. Word of God is alive so of course through this app I’ve grown so much in my knowledge of God. Thank you Bible.is and the voice actors who put in the work to make it possible. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-28, version 3.14.12* Bluetooth the gospel to work and back home!! ### 5/5 — Bible *2026-08-28, version 3.14.12* Reading bible ### 5/5 — The Bible is never an Option *2026-08-28, version 3.14.12* I Keep the faith with Bible.is ### 5/5 — I like how they really immerse you in the scripture *2026-08-27, version 3.14.12* They gave a voice to King Herod, and to God when he was talking to Joseph in mathew chapter 2 like different narrators kind of ### 5/5 — Love this *2026-08-27, version 3.14.12* My eyes are not that good anymore and it's wonderful to have the Bible read to me! Just love this app! ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-27, version 3.14.12* I have come to treasure listening to the Bible in audio form because it brings God’s truth to me in a conversational manner that penetrates my heart. It is as though I am drawn into the midst of the first hearers, being struck by the awe and wonder of the love of God for fallen man. It has helped my meditation on the truth of the word in a real and transforming way. ### 2/5 — Was excellent…while it worked 😟 *2026-08-26, version 3.14.12* Several times it refused to advance my readings and could bring it up to date but it totally stopped responding. Finally tired of spending so much time trying to correct problem instead of reading the scriptures. Just deleted the app. ### 5/5 — Great so far! *2026-08-26, version 3.14.12* Great so far! ### 5/5 — Great tool *2026-08-25, version 3.14.11* I love this app. I can download books of the Bible and listen at work.

Constantly crashing now. ### 1/5 — Stopped working. *2026-08-08, version 3.14.11* It was great. Loved it. Listened to whole Bible every year. Now it is just 4 pictures and doesn’t work at all. Sad. Hopefully they get it fixed. ### 1/5 — Faith is strengthen by hearing *2026-08-07, version 3.14.11* Love different dramatized voices in speech with background music as it emphasis visualization and understanding thereby creating impactful learning. Love to hear every night & sleep. Only problem is that it sometimes keeps buffering and cannot load anything in app. I often have to delete and reload app in that case ### 1/5 — Annoyed *2026-08-05, version 3.14.11* I love this app so very much, but the recent tech issues ⚠️ are becoming too much to handle. It has been more than a week, and I am unable to access the app. I have deleted ❌ and re-uploaded it various times without any change. I wish they would fix it properly. It is so sad and frustrating! 😭 ### 1/5 — Can’t open app past a new homepage *2026-07-31, version 3.14.10* I have loved this app for years. Use it most every morning. Now there is a new Home Screen with pics only and can’t get to the regular app. ### 1/5 — New Version Worst of All *2026-07-28, version 3.14.9* I really liked this app and how it allowed me to listen to the Bible on different days, picking up where I last finished. It also has an auto-scroll feature that allowed you to follow along easily in the text as you listen. Now this new version has messed everything up, and the auto-scroll feature does not work. It does not even change to the next chapter sometimes while the audio keeps going and going or repeats the same chapter. Please fix it, so I do not have to search for a new app. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-07-23, version 3.14.9* The dramatic reading is awful. Maybe give us a choice. ### 1/5 — I need this app to work *2026-07-09, version 3.14.8* This app works about 50% of the time however when it does, it is my life I do not understand why I can’t just open the app and press play. There is always an issue. ### 1/5 — I read ESV and its buggy *2026-07-06, version 3.14.8* App keeps stopping audio, ends audio early then goes onto the next chapter. Your guys a job half way NOW FINISH IT. ### 1/5 — Love this dramatized version of the Bible! *2026-06-28, version 3.14.8* I would have kept this app but had to delete it because when I wanted to listen to it, connections problem came up. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-09-03, version 3.14.12* Great app I use it every day while I am shaving. I love the dramatic version. No more excuses not having time to read the word daily. ### 5/5 — Great app for hearing the word of God *2026-09-02, version 3.14.12* I have used this app for the last ten years. I have listened to the body of scripture several times. When I get hooked on a chapter or book, I can listen to it as many times as I need and then I move on. One of the unique experiences is finishing Revelations, hearing a short pause, and then hearing the start of Genesis! It wraps around and connects the message of the Bible wonderfully. ### 5/5 — Great resource *2026-09-02, version 3.14.12* Love the versions & ease of studying. The plans are amazing & just hearing the Word read over you is priceless. Love love love this app ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-09-01, version 3.14.12* I love how there’s so many languages available, and that it reads out the Bible in the language of my choice!
