Now it’s asking me to upgrade again. Feeling upset ### 2/5 — Unable to repeat *2026-04-27, version 2.7* Enjoyed app through entirety. Unable to repeat. ### 3/5 — Great app but download does not work on older iPhones *2026-03-15, version 2.7* The app is great and the way that it works is wonderful. However, after subscribing and downloading an audio file, the file does not play. This may be an issue with an older iOS software version and older hardware. ### 3/5 — Update this app please *2026-03-15, version 2.7* I love this app. I have been using it for years. The simplicity of it is perfect. But it keeps glitching and not loading lately. ### 3/5 — Always crashes after the last verse in Revelation *2026-02-24* For two years now, every time I get to Revelation and hear the last verse the app completely glitches out. I assume it’s the last verse because I don’t notice until then. I just tried to stop the audio before the “Amen.” was spoken and it STILL glitched. The only solution I’ve found is to delete it and reinstall. Other than that, I have zero problems with listening. It does, however, like to randomly default to the NIV version after I minimize the app (I listen to Max M. read the KJV). Also, I paid for it and never heard ads, but the banner still sits at the top of the app screen asking me to download the paid version. That’s just a visual bother though, nothing really gets in the way of performance. I’ll never not be amused at how everything ends after Revelation, I mean — that’s just too good to not be intentional. (But it would be nice to fix it) ### 2/5 — App stop working *2026-02-07, version 2.7* Is a very good app but stop working. Can anyone fix this? Really enjoy this app ### 2/5 — Stops working *2026-01-30, version 2.7* Every time I complete revelations the app stops working and I have to uninstall/reinstall. ### 2/5 — GLITCHY *2026-01-09, version 2.7* I like the app, but half the time I open, I’m unable to listen. Have to remove and re add frequently. GLITCHY. ### 2/5 — Falling short *2025-12-27, version 2.7* I really enjoy this app. But it’s not loading and it doesn’t download like it says. I wish someone would fix it. I don’t want it in my subscription and I don’t want him to delete this app but this is the Lord’s word and they should fix it. ### 2/5 — Glitchy and Stops Reading *2025-12-05, version 2.7* Glitchy and Stops Reading, sadly very limited use. ### 2/5 — Crashes *2025-10-24, version 2.7* There’s something wrong with your app. It crashes when I reach the end of the bible. I have to delete and reinstall at this point. Also, when the app does work, sometimes when I open the app, it goes to John1:1 even when I have been listening to another book. ### 2/5 — Can’t stay connected *2025-10-23, version 2.7* Keep getting spinners. Can’t connect. No way to contact you. Says I cannot connect to server. Help ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very sorry to say this app is terrible *2026-05-22, version 2.7* Have tried a few times to reach out to the developers to give them some feedback and I have been unsuccessful. I strongly discourage folks to get the app. ### 1/5 — Quits playing New Testament *2026-05-15, version 2.7* Won’t even play all of Matthew and the only way to get it to play again is to uninstall it and reinstall. Have had this problem on 2 phones the problem is not with the phone. ### 1/5 — Bible *2026-03-25, version 2.7* It was simple to use and I loved this app. Then they upgraded it and it’s a mess. Everything is hard to find. So I’m searching for a new app. 😢 ### 1/5 — Not working properly *2026-02-26, version 2.7* No good for awhile now; have not opened it because it’s not working ### 1/5 — Unusable *2025-11-07, version 2.7* I downloaded this app based on a friend’s recommendation. Unfortunately all of the options have connection issues so I can’t use it at all ### 1/5 — Not working properly *2025-10-15, version 2.7* Not working the normal it should be. ### 1/5 — Bought the yearly subscription refuses to download the voice I am buying *2025-10-11, version 2.7* I downloaded this app and have paid the yearly subscription fee and it refuses to either play or download the NKJV Bob Souer voice. When you click on the Support link from the App Store, it goes to a webpage that does not work. I demand that this be fixed or my money back! Once I hear from the company, I will amend my rating according in the meantime, I do not advise getting this application certainly not paying the subscription fee that is worthless ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-07-18, version 2.7* Any online help ? ### 1/5 — Downloading books impossible *2025-07-15* I’ve had this app for a few years now, I paid for the offline ability and it’s always glitched out and only worked once for a couple months then quit. Waste of money ### 1/5 — Freezes often *2025-06-21, version 2.7* I’ve had this ap for years and there have been issues off and on. The last month or so it constantly kicks me out. The only way to start it again is to delete and reinstall. Even with that it only works for a chapter or two then kicks me out again. I’m going to start looking for a new audio ap. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-03-01, version 2.7* This is an amazing app if you are having trouble sticking to reading supplement with this app and thank me later!🫶🏾 ### 5/5 — No audio *2026-01-12, version 2.7* The Word is perfect. Unfortunately the audio does not work about 70% of the time. ### 5/5 — I looked and it’s the best one I’ve found *2026-01-07* I looked at a lot of other apps for the Bible and this is the best one I found. It’s very simple to use. I like how you can read along and listen at the same time. I can’t believe it’s FREE which is why I don’t mind a small glitch here or there. Again, the fact that the app has helped me so much without having to pay a penny far outweighed any problem I’ve ever had with it. ### 5/5 — Can someone help me *2025-11-21, version 2.7* I paid to listen to ICB but the audio does not work. Please help! ### 5/5 — Excellent narrators! *2025-11-07, version 2.7* Great job to the narrators! Very engaging. ### 5/5 — Beautiful voice *2025-10-20, version 2.7* I love the different voices used that u can listen to the Bible with. It makes it so much fun. ### 5/5 — Wood Song Farm *2025-08-31, version 2.7* Wood Song Farm ### 5/5 — 결제했는데 안됨 *2025-07-14* 예전부터 잘 사용하다가 오랜만에 사용하는데 분명 결제는 되어있는데 계속 결제하라고 뜨고 결제하려고하면 창이 계속 로딩중임 ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2025-06-30* I like It! ### 5/5 — App and subscription *2025-05-01, version 2.7* I loved this app but my next payment date is on May 4th today is April 30th I just lost my subscription. I can't access the versions I paid money for to listen to offline. The ones that are free aren't working.
