### 3/5 — A reasonably good app

*2024-09-12*

I use this for my daily Bible readings and like the fact it keeps me on track.  My only problem is that when I tey to use the audio Bible it will either shut down the app or freeze.  I end up deleting the app and reinstalling it but the last time the problem still existed and my audio is no longer functioning.

### 3/5 — Audio kicks me off the app

Everytime I try to use the audio it immediately kicks me out of the app. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app but its still kicking me off.

### 3/5 — App is acting up

*2024-08-22, version 4.41*

App freezes on the Bible portion, shows a blank white screen and the volume no longer works to listen to the narration.

### 3/5 — Can’t log in

*2023-09-08*

I would give it five stars if it worked. You can't log in to your CBN account which in turn means you can't do any Bible plans or save anything. This issue needs to be realized and fixed ASAP.

**Developer response:** Schmidty1993, thank you for trying out our app, and we're sorry for your log-in experience. Kindly clear the cache for the app and check the strength of your internet. If that doesn't help, email tech@cbn.org with your device model, OS, and other related details. We're happy to help! God bless >

### 3/5 — Good app except

*2023-07-08*

I am giving this 3 stars because in the last month I have had to delete the app and reinstall at least 5 times, it freezes on me with a white screen, I’m right in the middle of the yearly Bible plan, it’s very frustrating. This is a great app except for it doing that, if it keeps it up I will have to delete it permanently, which I don’t want to do. Please fix!

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking a moment to reach out to us. We are so sorry to hear you are having issues with the app. Please email us at tech@cbn.org with a brief description of the issue as well as the device model/OS and we will do our best to resolve this for you. God bless you!

### 4/5 — Good Bible App- NASB Needs To Be Fixed!!

*2022-09-11*

This is a good Bible app, but there is something wrong with the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD VERSION. There are random 1’s mixed in at variable intervals in the Bible text! Please fix this, as it’s hard to read with the number 1 after numerous words in the text!

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking a moment to reach out to us, Deeleigh92. We are so sorry to hear you are having issues with the app. Please email us at tech@cbn.org with a brief description of the issue and we will do our best to resolve this for you. God bless you!

What happened to the Strongs. I loved the break down of the words im so disappointed in the new update ;( please bring it back.

### 1/5 — Stripped and watered down

*2025-11-04*

Where’s the meat? This Bible app used to be the best on the App Store with concordances, Strong’s etc. It seems like all the study tools are gone???  Adding plans and stripping the things that would aid in the studying to show ourselves approved??? I get the point of making the milk more accessible, but many of your users Need the meat of the WORD? Bring back the lexicon Strong’s!

### 1/5 — Update

*2025-10-24, version 5.0.0*

I have used this app for years. One  of the reasons I liked it so much was that they had the Strongs concordance and the King James Version of the Bible. This update removed both! I used this with my study as it was easily accessible. Now I have no use for it, so I decided to delete it.

### 1/5 — Buggy and unusable

*2025-01-01*

Want to start and track my daily devotional but I can login. When I try to reset my email no change password email is sent. When I try to make a new account it says my account exists. Not sure what is going on but this is frustrating. Just want to do my daily devotion…

**Developer response:** Thank you for letting us know about the login problem you experienced. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

### 1/5 — Using up battery!

*2021-01-23*

I was so happy to download this a few days ago. I love everything about it and have used it daily. HOWEVER...I am ready to delete it because it has been running in the background for 21+ hours and I can’t get it to stop!  Every time I open my phone it is the first thing on the screen before any notifications.  Please, developer, help me out. I have every access turned off in settings for this app. I just don’t know what to do other than delete it.

**Developer response:** We apologize for any frustration this has caused. Could you email tech@cbn.org with more details? Please include the Apple device type/model along with the OS version that you are using, and we’ll be happy to look into it. Thank you and God bless!

*2025-03-27*

The CBN daily devotional app has been a blessing for me. The Bible readings, devotionals, and other aspects of the app have helped me to reconnect with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in a more intimate way. I had strayed from the Lord, but thanks be to the love, and forgiveness and of Jesus, along with the 700 Club I have come back to Jesus.

**Developer response:** Praise God for what He has done in your life! Thank you for sharing your story and giving us a 5-star rating, Shadoobie! We're truly grateful that our ministry and app have been a blessing to you. We hope you continue exploring its features and find it instrumental in encouraging, strengthening, and deepening your walk with the Lord. God bless you always! ~

### 5/5 — The app

*2025-02-10, version 4.42*

This app works about 35% of the time than we have to go to another app to hear the Bible. There is no way to contact them about this issue.Other than that it’s a great app the only thing I would change is I would add a pause button to the screen so it’s easier. If not when an interruption accrues than you have to hear the whole chapter again.

### 5/5 — Great read

*2024-03-01, version 4.41*

It’s a great version of the Bible , clear and clean interpretation of the scripture. I love reading it and knowing it is written with reverence of the Lord.

### 5/5 — Review

*2024-02-08, version 4.41*

I like that I can pull up all the verses that I have highlighted.
Also, highlighted verses show when changing versions.
Great!

### 5/5 — Read for many years

*2023-11-13*

Thankyou for the work and endeavors to read your special verse and devotional daily. It’s spirit work in me have been so rewarding.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your faithfulness to our app, and we're glad your devotional time with the Lord has been blessed by it! We also appreciate you for sharing your experience and rating it a 5-star! Have a great day! >
