Pornographic Ads made me delete

I had high hopes for this app. Within 10seconds of opening Genesis nasty pornographic ads popped up. Immediately deleted.

New feature that would be great

The app is great and this has been a huge help with me being able to read the Bible any where, although
It would be great if I could see the chapter at the top!

Great App

It’s exactly what it says it is, a Douay Rheims Bible.

Translation is Good

However the app places Judith, Tobit, Sirach, Wisdom, Baruch, and Maccabees in the ‘apocryphal’ section at the end and separates sections of Esther and Daniel from their respective books, as Luther did, and the psalms are misnumbered. Perhaps the developer is protestant?

I love this handy resource - my only recommendation is to please make it easier to locate chapters. If it’s a training issue please let me know!
