Can’t bookmark specific verses

Seems like a pretty basic feature that’s missing.

I hate updates

I liked the old format , now I can’t do my daily readings. It’s not as simple as it was before.
Why change something when it was already good.

Better than YouVersion

It’s a pity YouVersion has a monopoly on so many obscure language versions. Because for the basic versions (Hebrew, Greek, English, W. European languages) the usability and interface of this app is way beyond YouVersion in design and functionality. Thanks for working on what matters when reading the Bible, not on goofy games, greetings, and challenges that get in the way.

New Bible Version

Please include The Passion Translation (TPT) Bible Version as this version is more easy to understand especially for new believers but too sad this version is currently not available.

Not working

The last update, when you go into the app, it is frozen. Nothing is working. Very frustrating!
