### 1/5 — App doesn’t connect to the internet anymore

*2023-01-11, version 3.5*

I used this app for years then one day, it said cannot connect to the internet. I’m connected. My other apps work fine. I tried contacting support, no luck.

### 1/5 — This App is Horrible

*2022-10-05, version 3.5*

I have downloaded and reinstalled multiple times to have the app tell me I need an Internet connection. I have lost all my bookmarks and highlights of the last two years.

### 1/5 — Cannot access

*2022-09-10, version 3.5*

They took my fee, but now it says I cannot access because I don’t have a network connection. I do have a network connection! There is something wrong with your app!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on my iPad

### 1/5 — Author stopped supporting the app

*2022-05-15, version 3.5*

Unable to see daily readings.  Author does not respond to questions.

Awarding

### 5/5 — Great Catholic Bible

*2019-03-10, version 3.5*

This app may not have been updated recently, but it is still a top notch resource! I have looked through other Catholic Bible offerings, and this is the best one out there!

### 5/5 — Good App !

*2019-02-15, version 3.5*

I love this app, I use it in church and when im anywhere and just need to read the bible for encouragement or if i want to feel good and get happy in a sad moment.

### 5/5 — Love this site

*2019-02-10, version 3.5*

I have enjoyed this app. I can’t find it to put on my cell phone, is there a different site for mobile.

### 5/5 — Daily reflection

*2018-11-16, version 3.5*

I love the feature that allows readers to customize the subjects of their daily reflection!  It searches for the messages that are picked by the user which is great for me as someone who isn’t as knowledgeable of the Bible.
