Athmaraksha app providing many meaningful prayers and Bible study. I like that English version more helpful for me. ### 1/5 — Badly thought out study app!! *2020-04-21, version 5.01* I gave this one star because I cant give a zero star rating. This app asks the same questions for every study! There is nothing to help you get into the meat of the story being studied. I’m starting the “for such a time as this” study with some friends and have had to create three extra questions to help us answer the question: “What does this story tell me about God?”. Well, since the passage is Ester 1:1-22 the answer is nothing. God isn’t mentioned! In order to discover anything about God from this passage I’ve had to create more questions that point to elsewhere in the Bible. The title of this part of the study is “The Lure of Materialism” but again, no questions to specifically guide the reader. Glad I’m not a new Christian using this! Clearly there has been little to no thought put into the creation of this study. The teacher in me just wants to cry at how badly thought out it is as there’s been no consideration to the question “what do I want the people using this to learn?” ### 3/5 — Speed Audio *2021-04-21* Overall app would be more useful if the scripture was not read like there’s a race to win. If the audio was slower or had the ability to reduce speed I would give it a better rating. I guess something is supposed to be better , but, I would have preferred nothing. Thank you for kind intentions. The rest is great that we have it to read with questions and ability to contact you for further scripture questions ### 4/5 — Why not Include all DBS steps? *2022-07-08* The app is fine as it is. The only puzzling thing is why the classic 7 Discovery Bible Study questions/steps are not listed as standard in every lesson. If I understand the DBS model correctly, all seven steps are important to the process. You might be able to infer the rest of the process by reading the (very short) help guide, but why not just put all seven standard DBS questions in the standard lesson template? A few more facilitator tips would be handy too to help new group leaders. ### 4/5 — Issues with Arabic Fusha *2022-06-23* I’ve noticed that the English lessons are not necessarily the same in Arabic. Is this intentional? Also, Lesson 6 in Arabic won’t let me share. When I am able to share, it shares as an audio file only. These are great lessons with good questions to provoke thought. I’d like to see the app operate a little more smoothly without the oddities with the language change. Thanks for putting this on an app. ### 4/5 — Nice collection of DBS studies *2020-08-25* This is a helpful app for those doing DBS studies. Especially if in an area that has good internet connection. This would also be helpful for people who don’t want to lug around a Bible or other materials. Just have everyone open the app and start. ### 5/5 — Wow this is great *2023-10-28, version v16.00* An easy to use app to Discover the Bible, God and how we might relate. I enjoy this app for myself and with a group. Thank you ### 5/5 — Basic and that’s good. *2023-02-23* The app is basic in a good way. The app is meant for people who want to learn what the Bible says by asking questions. Great idea! Thanks for making it free. ### 5/5 — Beautiful App *2020-08-22* Great app to help you discover the meaning of Gods Word for yourself. ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple and Practical *2020-04-06* If you have heard the term DBS...”discovery bible study”... this app has made it digital, simple and practical in languages of some of the most Unreached peoples. Bravo! Looking forward to even more languages :) ### 5/5 — Thankful! *2019-01-28* I’ve been wanting to learn how to share the Gospel through story telling and a friend recommended this app. Now I’m using it in our company Bible “discovery” class and my daughter is using it with her roommate to learn how to use stories to tell about God. Thank you for developing this app. To God be the glory! ### 5/5 — Simple and effective. *2016-09-26* An app to facilitate DBS should be simple and effective. This one is both. Great to have the text in Arabic for Muslims. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
