I love the app, but I’ve hooked it up to my Vehicle so I can listen when I’m driving through Bluetooth., It’s something within the app. It comes on soon as I turn on the truck on. I’ll pause it and then and it starts playing again by itself whenever I make a phone call hang up we restart the truck. I went to listen to it when I’m ready not when. It can be very distracting when trying to drive and concentrate. ### 5/5 — Oh I LOVE this app!! So helpful! *2026-04-25, version 5.2.1* I love the little pocket sized Gideons bibles because they’re so cute and dear to my heart because I got one as a child after school and I loved my little bible. Now I get to read or listen on my phone, tablet, laptop or car!
