But it shows as free on the App Store. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback - this was a fair point. The latest update adds a close button to the paywall, so you can dismiss it and continue using the app. The subscription helps cover the licensing fees we pay to Biblica for the translation, but it's no longer a blocker to getting in and reading. Appreciate you flagging it! ### 2/5 — Not such a wide range. *2026-02-15* A bit of false advertising. It says it has a “wide range of translations when it only comes down to 2.” Not what I was looking for. A bit disappointing. Other than that, seemed like a solid app. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. We've now updated the app to include 5 different English language versions (NIV, KJV, ASV, BBE, YLT) and 10 additional non-English language versions. If there is a specific version you're looking for, please drop us a note at info@accessibleresources.com ### 1/5 — Accidentally purchased please refund *2025-09-11, version 8.3.1* please refund ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-08-29* Forced to put credit card info in just to delete app even though I’m a poor college student **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, note that it is not necessary to put a credit card in to delete the app, the app can be deleted at any time through macOS. If you'd like guidance on this, please get in touch at info@accessibleresources.com ### 1/5 — Obligation de payer *2025-08-27, version 8.3.1* Je voulais installer cette app directement sur mon MacBook, pour pourvoir lire la bible plus facilement ma bible sur mon Macbook ainsi que pour pourvoir mettre des widget. Mais des qu’on ouvre l’application, on se retrouver dans d’obligation de payer. J’ai désinstallé de suite l’application ### 1/5 — Audible *2025-07-07* I am unable to access the audible portion of the Scripture I want to hear. ### 1/5 — bible *2024-07-17, version 7.02* Does not have the features I'm looking for No plans, ### 2/5 — This is stupid! Going back to YouVersion. *2024-06-22* ... Not that I ever left or deleted that app, but did give this one a try based on a mention on AppleVis. But the verse of the day hasn't changed in four weeks, and before that it didn't change for six. I see no sense in having other voices read this thing when VoiceOver reads everything anyway, and there are only two English versions. In YouVersion, I have a comparison list of at least seven different versions. Not impressed and not happy. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We have addressed the issue regarding the "stuck" Verse of the Day. This was a technical bug that has now been resolved; you should see the verse updating daily as intended. Regarding your other points: Audio Options: We provide custom voices as an alternative for those who prefer specific narrations, but we completely understand that VoiceOver users may find the native system voice more efficient. Bible Versions: We hear you on the variety. While we currently offer fewer versions than larger apps like YouVersion, we are actively working on expanding our library to offer better comparison tools in future updates. We hope you'll give the app another look now that the daily verse is functioning correctly. If you have any other suggestions, please let us know. ### 1/5 — No option to cancel *2024-06-17, version 7.0* No option to cancel ### 2/5 — poor features *2023-08-24* cant chnge font size, cant place on night mode. cant go to previous history (tosee where i left off, & what i previously read) **Developer response:** To change the font size, please use the accessibility settings. We are always iterating on the experience and appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback, we will take this into consideration for upcoming release. Thank you again. ### 1/5 — Verse of the day but its only John 3:16? *2020-10-26, version 3.1* I think the developer forgot, but the only verse on the widget is John 3:16. App is dead and looks like it was left from iOS 9. ### 2/5 — Not a good widget app *2020-09-26* The app is too simple. I downloaded the app to have a bible widget and shows the same verse. I thought this app was a good bible widget. I can’t change the language for my screen. The app can be used as a bible, but not as a widget. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, we are always iterating, and have improved the widget experience. Please let us know if you have any further feedback. ### 1/5 — Accessible? *2020-08-10* It doesnt have background audio... This is not the app you want for multi tasking. Otherwise 5 stars for using Siri’s voice, color options, and bible options. But yeah, no background audio so.... **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. we will look to incorporate background audio in a future release, thank you again. ### 3/5 — Great app, but could be better. *2018-09-09* This is the first Bible app I’ve found for the visually impaired who still have some sight. Others don’t enlarge enough. I found one other app that enlarged well, but the references did not enlarge, so my d/h would have to hand his iPad to me during church to find the passage. This app has the right idea! The only flaws I found were: 1. As the text is enlarged the chapter numbers disappear. 2. The verse numbers are too small and disappear under the verse text. Two suggestions I have as well, are: 1. Add verse to the reference lookup. 2. Remove the footnotes or make them optional, they distract from reading smoothly. If these things could be fixed, this would be a one of a kind app! People forget all too often that blind doesn’t always mean sightless. Thank you for trying to meet the needs of those who use devices to help them read God’s Word! **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback, it is really appreciated and we have resolved the bug where the chapter numbers disappear. Thank you again, and please let us know if you have any further feedback. ### 1/5 — Missing verses/chapters *2018-04-27* Missing 1 John 4 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Forced to sign up *2026-07-23* Any app that won’t even let you into the software to look around before forcing you to sign up for a paid service that makes it awkward and not clear how to cancel is an automatic zero star app. Especially since it doesn’t even have the translations and features I was looking for. How about you at least let people into the app before splashing your buy screen that you can not bypass. **Developer response:** We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the current sign-up process. We value your feedback and are actively working to make the experience smoother and more transparent for users. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. ### 1/5 — DO NOT GET THIS APP Locks you MacBook if you do not purchase *2026-07-20* I highly do not recommend getting this app. It forces you to purchase the 7 day trial with hopes that you forget the 7 days and starts charging you. I would have taken a closer interest of this app but the fact it forces you to get the 7 day trial has already turned me away from it. To the people selling this and the programmers, SHAME ON YOU for doing such a tactic. There a plenty of other bible apps out there that will not pull such a deception on you. **Developer response:** We apologize for any frustration caused. We value user feedback and are committed to improving our processes. We're actively reviewing this issue and will ensure it doesn't happen again. ### 1/5 — App locks down Mac *2026-07-14* I installed the app on my MacBook Pro, I couldn’t get out of it, couldn’t close the app, couldn’t even browse through the app without purchasing something. You have to decide ahead of time (before you open it) if you want to purchase anything, otherwise once you open it you can not close it you can not restart your computer, you cannot force close the app. You have to purchase it in order to even use it or view anything. On that principle of it being gate kept (unless its a flaw in the newest version of the software) I would not support this. **Developer response:** Hello, sorry to hear about your experience. If you need to close the app you can press Cmd+Q or else right-click on the app icon in the doc and select quit. ### 1/5 — trap *2026-06-05, version 9.7* This app is a trap. Stay away ### 1/5 — Obligation de payer *2026-06-02, version 9.7* J’ai lu le premier commentaire. J’ai chercher la petite croix qui peut fermer la fenêtre d’abonnement, je ne l’ai pas trouver. Donc l’application nous force à payer, j’ai désinstaller l’application. Maintenant il faut payer pour lire la bible, les gens ne savent plus sur quoi ce faire de la thune alors ils font ça sur la religion 👏 👏 👏 ### 1/5 — $24.99 for your salvation or you can’t read! *2026-04-11, version 9.1* So you have to pay to read the Bible….. you can’t even read it without having to purchase it! ### 1/5 — Rrr *2026-04-07* You have to buy the Bible app **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback - this was a fair point. The latest update adds a close button to the paywall, so you can dismiss it and continue using the app. The subscription helps cover the licensing fees we pay to Biblica for the translation, but it's no longer a blocker to getting in and reading. Appreciate you flagging it! ### 1/5 — Seems dodgy *2026-03-24* I use the free Bible app on my phone. I decided to see if it was also available for my Mac book. I found this app - it looked the same. In the info there is no mention of a cost and so I downloaded it. It went straight to a page offering me 7 days free trial and then £24.99 per year. There was nothing I could click except the accept the free trial button. I couldn’t close the app as the red button wasn’t there. I tried quitting and nothing happened. The various links at the bottom of the page went to a 404 page. I manage to delete it by going back to the App Store. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback - this was a fair point. The latest update adds a close button to the paywall, so you can dismiss it and continue using the app. The subscription helps cover the licensing fees we pay to Biblica for the translation, but it's no longer a blocker to getting in and reading. Appreciate you flagging it! ### 1/5 — Bible App *2026-03-06, version 9.1* No option to cancel. ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD *2026-02-16, version 9.1* This app seems harmless enough at first glance, but once you download and install it you are directed to a “free trial” page you can not get out of. I had to force quit, and then manually drag it to the trash to not sign up for their $24.95 per year plan. There are plenty of great resources available that do not manipulate and force you into an automatic billing cycle app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Loving the word of God *2026-07-09* I use this app in my ladies Bible Class and it helps me find the chapters and verses quickly and accurately.
