User reviews

Used App for 10+ Years

No updates since I first used the app. Could look better. Just saying. Works great though. Would recommend to a friend.

White text light background?!?!

Good app except if you do make notes you can’t read them as the text colour is not changeable… it’s white on a light background…. Might as well not make notes

Voice

The audio voice is horrible, there are no choices.

Disappointed

I have been using this app for sometime now. I enjoy reading and listening to The Word. I paid for it before and now I am being asked to pay again. The app runs quickly through the reasons and I am not able to understand what is said.

Bible presentation

I’m not bothered about the audio. The Bible is colourful. Green paragraphs, red title, blue numbers at the beginning of each paragraph.the option of fonts in name & size.
Good enough for me. The book of sirach ( Ecclesiasticus) is there, most bibles don’t have it.Sitach must be read, it covers every area of your life a crucial read The main thing it is a app, I can read anytime discreetly.

the whole world doesn’t need to know you read a bible or that you are Christian, you keep that to yourself. Well done I am pleased with this app
