### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-07-23, version 1.3.2*

Very useful!!!

### 5/5 — Where have you been all my life?!? 🤗

*2026-04-17*

[the best bible app is the one that didn't ask for a review, Go figure🤔]

This is the best thing since sliced bread‼️I'm big on names, so being able to pronounce them is a must! And I constantly wonder if I'm saying them right, now I will know😊. So far every name I've looked up has been there❣️

### 5/5 — A Much Needed App

*2025-04-14*

This app is extremely helpful, especially in my adult Bible class where so many people have difficulties pronouncing biblical names. So many times people would rather skip over the names, then learn how to correctly pronounce them. The problem, as I see it, is that we all have names and would correct anyone who incorrectly says our name. Why would we think any differently for those who lived in biblical times? this app is excellent for just such reasons. I highly recommend this app for anyone, especially those who are teaching from the Bible. I recommend the ability to add names to the list if possible, and the ability to add names to the favorites list that maintain the names in alphabetical order. Otherwise, I’m recommending this app to everyone I know who studies the Bible.

### 5/5 — Learning

*2024-11-12*

Thank you so much. I just needed to know how the words sounded pronounced because I don’t understand all the words and I’ve just now learning and getting into my Bible and studying way more than this is absolutely amazing just to be able to hear how the words are pronounced!

### 5/5 — Perfect for my Biblical Studies

*2024-06-25, version 1.3.2*

I love the simplicity of this app.  No ads. No pop ups. No lengthy dissertations on dialectical phonetics.  Just find the word.  Tap it.  Hear it spoken. Done.  Great job!!!

### 3/5 — Would have been 5 stars

*2023-01-18*

My rating would have been 5 stars if the app hadn’t suddenly stopped working, and, if the app help was a secured connection.  The app won’t let me reload it, the download gets part way of the way through and stops.  Plus, it won’t delete completely from my phone…the app keeps re-appearing in my phone storage list right after I delete it.  It shows “no data”, but will not stay deleted!  It’s the only app that I have ever had these issues with.

### 4/5 — Need help

*2022-05-06, version 1.3.2*

Where is the mute control? No sounds coming out.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2022-05-04, version 1.3.2*

What a great app. So simple to use. It has been so helpful with my Bible study.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-11-29*

Simple interface, easy to navigate. Thank-you Brother Stephano for the nice app.  This has now become my go to for quickly looking up Biblical words during study.  I like the ability to add specific words to a favorites list,  for quick access especially for those particularly challenging words, which you may read infrequently but which invariably give you trouble the next time you attempt to pronounce them.  Bravo my brother.

### 5/5 — Bible Pronunciation Audibly

*2020-11-11*

I believe this would be a great tool if there is a way someway in the Apple store to implement putting it on your phone doesn’t seem to be a way to download it unhappy about that
