## Most critical reviews (9 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-01-27*

Offensive - should only be on a porn site

### 1/5 — Not happy with the app

*2025-10-10*

Where do I start?   I lost all my notes from messages/sermons and Bible studies, which I refer back to during my devotional time each day…throughout the entire series of study.  Can I get them back?   And I can’t find a way to set this format up so that notes are beside the text.  I don’t want to keep going back and forth from text to notes.  It is impossible during a sermon to keep up with both.   Plus, I am 73 years old and have several vision problems.   We have not yet found a way to enlarge the print.

Is there any way to retrieve my notes from the previous app?  Can someone instruct me on the best way to set up the new app so it is more user friendly?

### 1/5 — Ads, ads and more ad.

*2025-02-04*

Far too many ads. Ads for gambling, ads for getting loans, unbiblical ads. You put in the chapter verse and you want to go to an ad pop-up before it even goes there.

### 1/5 — Unhappy

*2024-05-05*

Thoroughly disgusted with your app, a Bible app commercial advertising that freezes the app until you reply

### 2/5 — Mr T. Ward II

*2025-09-21*

This is my rating up this point till have spent more time in this version. 

Just installed app and noticed the search bar is a dark color. Interesting but real difficult to read my input when the letters are black. Almost unreadable. 
Search apparently can’t locate bible addresses. I typed Isaiah 54:17 and it can’t find it.

### 2/5 — Ads

*2024-10-22*

I don’t mind unobtrusive ads but when I am studying and looking for a scripture the ads pop up before I can get to it and it is distracting and annoying

### 2/5 — Too many ads!!

*2024-08-25*

Too many ads and interruptions. Noisy ads too!

### 3/5 — Looking for different format, not broken up verse by verse.

*2025-03-26*

I don't like the format of this version of CSB. Breaking the chapters up with verse by verse divisions is distracting for me. Perhaps provide an option for paragraph or section formatting? I really like the CSB version of the Bible. I don't like how this app formats it.
