### 1/5 — No longer supported?

*2023-01-02, version 3.5*

Bought this several years Amanda loved it. Upgraded 
My phone and now it won’t work. All I get is an error message that I’m not connected to internet but I am connected. Links for help go to dead websites.

### 2/5 — Cannot register app

*2022-12-29, version 3.5*

I’m trying to register the app online in order to have an account. All it ever does is tell me I have no internet connection and I can’t register.

### 1/5 — App no longer works on iPhone

*2022-11-07, version 3.5*

This app which I once loved no longer works on my iPhone. It now says internet access is required to use the app all the time when I do indeed have internet access. I have lost access to all versions of bibles I previously purchased. Not good.

### 1/5 — Abandoned app

*2022-09-18, version 3.5*

This was the best Catholic Bible on the market but it appears that the company behind it is no longer around and this app is abandoned. It doesn’t work properly under iOS 16 with network connectivity

### 3/5 — Crashes after iOS 15.6.1 update

*2022-08-27, version 3.5*

Five stars for app before it became nonfunctional after iOS 15.6.1 update. Now, app crashes upon opening. One star app after latest iOS update.

### 5/5 — Great resource.

*2021-07-25, version 3.5*

I use almost daily for scheduled readings and searching for my favorite readings

### 1/5 — No Audio

*2021-05-04, version 3.5*

I just paid $1.99 for this app because it said in the description (and on the print screen image) it has NABRE audio. Went into the app and it says audio is not available!!! That’s not fair. I only bought it for the audio. How can I get a refund?

### 5/5 — False Advertising

*2021-03-17, version 3.5*

For Catholics, this is an extremely deceitful thing to do. Bought the app thinking it would come with audio. Find out after purchasing that they require a $1 per week to get that feature. What did I pay $2 for? SMH.

### 5/5 — Bible one

*2021-02-21, version 3.5*

Excellent.. Especially the audio series.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2020-10-21, version 3.5*

Multiple unanswered requests for help.   Search feature broken.
