### 2/5 — Too bad

*2026-07-17, version 2.0.2*

Doesn’t work right it’s stuck on some initial thing and it doesn’t play anything after that. It’s not that hard to understand what’s wrong with it it’s just on some kind of stupid loop.

### 2/5 — 2.0.2 not working

*2026-06-24, version 2.0.2*

Newest update is not working for me just spins and spins and spins. Have to go to a podcast app to listen to the DAB

### 5/5 — God’s Best Daily Bible Plan

*2026-06-02, version 2.0.1*

This is a wonderful app to get an intimate understanding of God’s word! Brian, Jill, China and Ezekiel do brilliant job bringing the scriptures to life. The community is supportive of each other and you will be blessed by joining it daily!

### 2/5 — I need help please with this new app.

*2026-05-27, version 2.0.1*

May 27, update: This review has not been shown nor paid attention to. It is really very sad that you forced us to use the new app as the old one was working for me and this new one isn’t and you refuse to even try to fix it! Why don’t you care about it when I want to continue with my account and listen and keep track of where I am? I’m really sad and hurt! : 

*I’m having trouble getting my stuff transferred to the new app. I can’t sign in because the email I used with the old app is no longer receiving emails and I don’t know how to update it with you and still keep the checkmarks and everything I had set up from the original app and email address and just transfer it to the new one and keep it all. I tried both the old and new email. The app wants a code. Only the new email will receive emails. Even the new email is not receiving a code. I don’t know if it is the app it something or my email. I thought it was the weather yesterday making my email lag in the timing it receives emails and waited until today. Still the same issue. I don’t know how, but somehow got to where I still could listen anyway and can’t figure out how to today. Thank you! I sent in a request for help. I’m not sure if your response will get through to me. Maybe you can send it here?

### 5/5 — Truth

*2026-05-26, version 2.0.1*

I’ve listened to DAB for 15 years. Very thankful for the revised version recently.  Download and listen.  It will Bless your life

### 5/5 — Daily Audio Bible V. 2.0.1 with Voicever is Fixed! Yea!

*2026-05-23, version 2.0.1*

It workswith the update to Version 2.0.1! With the wonderful content since the April 27 update and the new update in May, Voiceover screen reader easily reads the menus, speaks all the words on the screen, and opens the channels like the Psalms and the main reading. I left off on May 17? reading and will catch up on daily walks as I had been listening before. The app behaves similarly to how Apple podcast works and I am successful in hearing you now.
The Psalms played.
The main reading played.
I am writing in the App Store because I can't find a way to call or contact you by email directly.
Thank you for fixing whatever needed to be fixed between versions 2.0 and 2.0.1. Very Sincerely, Diana Garrett or "Prayingwings" I'm so happy.

### 5/5 — New App

*2026-05-14, version 2.0*

I had initially had problems with the new app, but I blame myself. I reviewed it earlier as 3 because I couldn’t navigate it. After spending time with it, I am blown away by the new perks. There is a video section where you can view the places of the Bible. I don’t know how, but watching the videos and listening to the narration is emotional somehow. Even though I am half illiterate with technology, I stuck in there because the way Brian narrates is above average and the authenticity is truly paramount and I didn’t want to lose that in my daily routine. I was annoyed with the change at first but I should have known it was for the better.

### 5/5 — Quantum Leap Jump!!

*2026-05-11, version 2.0*

I know this update was a long time in development but it was so worth the wait!! WOW!! I want to thank the Hardin Family and all the folks that helped to make this great app!! Thank you most of all for bringing the world God’s Word, pure and straight from the Bible, nothing filtered!!

### 5/5 — Ver 2.0 login issue. Guest mode works fine.

*2026-05-08, version 2.0*

Having problems logging in. When I get to the login.dailyaudiobible.com page.
I enter my email address and my password however, I cannot press the button that says continue.. This is on my iPhone 17 Pro.  Ios 16.4.2
I could still use guest mode without an issue. I have got several Journals/Favorite that are referenced back to from time to time. I understand these are teething problems for a new version. Thank you, Brian and your team. I’ve enjoyed DAB when it was a podcast before the app.

### 3/5 — I need help please with this new app.

*2026-04-30, version 2.0*

I’m having trouble getting my stuff transferred to the new app. I can’t sign in because the email I used with the old app is no longer receiving emails and I don’t know how to update it with you and still keep the checkmarks and everything I had set up from the original app and email address and just transfer it to the new one and keep it all.

### 5/5 — Fixed the update!

*2026-04-30, version 2.0*

Loving the new app!

### 4/5 — Good update

*2026-04-29, version 2.0*

Content is great!! I thought for sure with the new update it would be CarPlay compatible. Not so!!

### 5/5 — The Best Audio Bible App

*2026-04-29*

I want to thank Brian, Jill, and the entire DAB team for your love, dedication, and faithfulness to the Lord. Your daily commitment to reading God’s Word continues to bless the DAB “global campfire community” and allows us to experience the Bible’s transformational power through this app. I’ve been listening to DAB since 2009 or 2010. 

The new 2.0 version is excellent. I especially love the videos included with each day’s reading—they beautifully bring Scripture to life and give a glimpse of the Promised Land through creative videography.

The app is user-friendly and customizable, making it easy to access different DAB channels. I also appreciate the safe space it provides for prayer requests, encouragement, and praise reports through the prayer wall.

Access to media, music, products, and giving is simple and well organized.

Kudos to Brian and the DAB team—this app truly reflects a labor of love. Thank you for being a blessing and for faithfully sharing the life-giving Word each day.

If you want to experience genuine community and receive insightful, Bible-centered guidance, try this app for two weeks. You’ll begin to see meaningful changes, and your life may never be the same.

### 3/5 — Love DAB, App Needs Work

*2026-02-26, version 1.3.10*

DAB itself is great, I love Brian’s reading and his wisdom he imparts after reading the scripture each day. The community aspect is a definite plus, as well as a great encouragement. That being said, the app itself needs some improvements. For one, playing an episode can often be slow and tedious; the app often lags and sometimes crashes. Another issue is the app will occasionally log me out. This isn’t a huge problem as my login info is saved within the app, but it is a minor annoyance that isn’t a problem on other platforms. A feature I wish would be added is the ability to cue up multiple episodes at once, similar to how music streaming services do it. All in all, I would highly recommend Daily Audio Bible to anyone who wants to listen to the Bible in a year. 

“Today is the 25th day of February, welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I am Brian, it is great to be here with you today”

### 1/5 — Please Fix Your App

*2026-08-12, version 2.0.3*

The app kicked me out last night in the middle of listening to the daily cast.  I’ve tried to reset my password multiple times and it will not let me. 😭 It keeps saying something is wrong with the new password. Please fix this. You can continue as a guest but then it doesn’t track progress. SUPER frustrating.

### 1/5 — Not as it seems

*2026-06-23, version 2.0.2*

After being a listener for 17 years, I can say that this new app is horrible. I know that I am in the minority, but if you scratch beneath the surface, I think that you may agree. They freely take my money without me being a member, but not being a member with this new app means primarily that I can no longer pick up where I left off. And if you read the agreement in joining this app carefully, you’ll see that there are some things that an app like this just doesn’t need to know.**** Added note: this is so incredible what Brian family and his team are doing. My displeasure is not with the daily audio Bible. It is only with the app.

### 1/5 — HATE THE NEW APP

*2026-05-19, version 2.0.1*

This is a sequential podcast, but they don’t let you pick up where you left off. They force you to listen to the most recent recorded, or you can choose to put the jan 1st episode up.   What bush league developer would not make it automatic to continue where you left off when the entire curriculum is designed intentionally to be in order?  You have to search for your next one.  THANK YOU FOR MESSING IP A PREVIOUSLY GOOD APP, DELETED!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-05-05, version 2.0*

New update in my opinion is awful. Used to be super user-friendly, especially for older generation now constant log offs verification code request has made this super app a daily pain looking for other options. No reason for improvement from old version.

### 1/5 — New update sign in is awful

*2026-05-03, version 2.0*

Since the update; it worked fine setting up under new app first day. Worked fine 2nd and 3rd day.  Since then it wants me to re-sign up and set a new password every single day and yesterday it wanted it twice in one day.  Hope it’s fixed soon.

### 1/5 — Well…

*2026-04-29, version 2.0*

I have been listening to daily audio Bible since 2013. I have used the app off and on. it doesn’t seem to work well with iPhone voiceover for people with vision problems. I usually got by using the online daily audio Bible without using the app, but since yesterday I can no longer get on daily audio Bible and listen to daily audio Bible.. The day before yesterday, I went on to the website, scrolled down to listen as guest because I don’t want to login every single time and I listened to it just fine. It doesn’t talk to my voice over.  Voice-over can’t read it and I can’t get it to turn on when I go to listen as a guest. There’s no button or anything else that tells me now I can listen. I hate to lose this app. I hate to lose this channel, but I can’t even get it to work on just the website, it’s the same issue. I would sure appreciate some suggestions because I will really miss Brian.

### 1/5 — Unfortunate

*2026-02-13, version 1.3.10*

I have listened to the DAB for over 5 years and really enjoyed the time each day in the scriptures. Brian continued to grow each year and I enjoyed his commentary. Unfortunately, this endeavor has become more commercial with so many products being pushed.

### 1/5 — Unfortunate

*2025-09-17, version 1.3.10*

I have listened to the DAB for over 5 years and really enjoyed the time each day in the scriptures. Brian continued to grow each year and I enjoyed his commentary. Unfortunately, this endeavor has become more commercial with so many products being pushed. The final straw was the inclusion of support for a controversial figure. Brian typically did a good job of staying out of politics and focused on the Bible, but this last week they decided to include opinions that I feel are polarizing and I will no longer continue to listen.

### 1/5 — Account & password now required to listen to Gods word

*2025-03-20, version 1.3.10*

why?

### 1/5 — Downloaded but won’t open

*2023-01-26, version 1.2.140*

I downloaded the app but it never would open on my phone. I’m going to delete it.

### 5/5 — Life-changing app praise God!

*2026-08-08, version 2.0.3*

I have been using the Daily ✝️🙏🏽 Audio Bible for many years, especially during my commute. I appreciate this ministry in spreading God’s word throughout the world. Especially where all of us Christians throughout the world can come together as a community for prayer, and God’s word. Thank you, Bryan and Jill, the Lord has used your ministry for good.

### 5/5 — Thank you Team

*2026-07-29, version 2.0.2*

Thank you team for listing to at least my voice and making changes for a great listing experience.

### 5/5 — 19 year user

*2026-07-22, version 2.0.2*

Life changing app. The narrator drills down on what was read each day bringing understanding and self reflection. I have learned so much about God and my place in eternity since I have been using this app.

### 5/5 — Great app, re-logging in to frequently

*2026-07-20, version 2.0.2*

Iphone 17, iOS 26.5.3 i, DAB ver version 2.0.2   
When I launch the app 50% of the time I have to re-login. It’s slightly annoying, but definitely not helping my user experience. Once I login I have no issues. Please fix this a little annoyance. My 84 yr old mother is always having to sign in on her device in guest mode. For some reason, the app doesn’t safe your email address and when it goes to authentication page. Sometimes Face ID automatically complete the password. Sometimes it doesn’t.

### 5/5 — Listen in the car

*2026-07-02, version 2.0.2*

I enjoy this app immensely. It’s a way for me to get some of the word each day as I drive. I listen to it on the way to work sometimes and I like the way that it continues each day and picks up where it left off. I also like the narrator’s commentary at the end of each reading because it helps me to process what I just heard. I appreciate this ministry and recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in the word but doesn’t always have time to sit and read.

### 5/5 — Great way to start your day

*2026-06-27, version 2.0.2*

I’ve been listening first thing in the morning for over 10 years and find it sets me in the right frame of mind for the day ahead. Brian’s clear reading voice plus his insightful analysis at end make it easy to understand and remember.

### 5/5 — Life Changing

*2026-06-27, version 2.0.2*

If you allow it, the daily spoken word of God, and the accompanying context and explanations, will renew your heart and mind in eternally positive ways : )

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2026-06-18, version 2.0.1*

After my brain surgery, I am not able to read. Because of this app, I can still enjoy daily Bible “ reading”. Being part of this community is such a blessing.

### 5/5 — 9 out of 10

*2026-06-13, version 2.0.1*

Excellent app! Brian is a very insightful and knowledgeable Bible scholar! This “2.0” version is better than the old one. They have added films to help you understand the context of the places in the bible corresponding to the text. There is also a journal. The only two things that would improve it is 1) Add an Apple Watch version (where you can stream or download daily readings), and 2) be able to export the journal entries to Notes, etc.

### 5/5 — LOVE THIS!!!!

*2026-06-06, version 2.0.1*

I started listening to the DAB almost 10 years ago and haven’t missed a day since. This podcast has literally changed my life and brought me back to Christ. Thank you, Brian and the DAB team! 🙏🔥💕
