User reviews

Aggravated

Been using for about year . Read daily verse then start reading what i wanted to , lately read daily verse can’t go back to were I was app takes me were it want to,not happy. Can deal with add not dealing with when I look something up and it goes were it wants .

Advertisements.

I’ve had this app for several years. I like it because it’s easy to find the verse I’m looking for. But I find it hard to navigate past the advertisements. User error I’m sure.

Hard to get in

For some time when I open this app, an ad for some game appears. Tonight I could not make it go away so never got into the app. So frustrating! I like to listen all night to scripture, but tonight that couldn’t happen.

I really dislike this update

Can you all
Please change the app back. Sometimes simple is better and in this case it is !! The audio doesn’t work the same any more and the search is weird. If you change the version to AMP , you can’t listen to the audio Bible at the same time . When you scroll to a new chapter , the audio turns off . I hate the update and according to the comments a lot of other users do as well. Please change it Back !!!!!!!!!! Get your money back from who ever did the new design for you all. Could you fix the app to where you can literally scroll other verses in different books and chapters and the audio not go to different books and chapters. You literally can’t study other chapters and listen at the same time because whatever yall did to the audio messed it up

Frustrating

This app frustrates me over and over again. I will be working through the resources on a verse and the app suddenly changes to a different book, chapter and verse; what I am researching stays in place but when I return to the Bible it has changed to a different book and verse.
The audio feature is another frustration as it will change from where I left off and even show the place I stopped previously and take me to a completely different book and chapter.
When paying for a subscription I would expect better. In the past when I have submitted my concerns the team has been responsive but fixes not quick or workable. The resources are great on the plus side of things.
