It makes me not want to use your app. I have games with ads on them, but they’re about every five minutes so they allow you time to actually use the app before you get bombarded with ads and I’ve got ADD so when ads keep coming on, I close off the app. Most of the time I forget to open it back up or I get annoyed with it and just get rid of it. The narrator barely got two verses out and an ad popped up and then another minute later another ad popped up and then another minute later another ad popped up. You get my drift? ### 3/5 — The Gospel alway good *2024-12-15, version 4.0* The old version was better I read a lot of them I have them mark now update everything I read it lost I don’t know where I was disappointed and you try to mark it as read again and it disappeared ### 3/5 — NASB *2024-03-01, version 3.5* It’s fine but only works in the vertical position on my ipad. ### 4/5 — No Chapter Names *2024-01-08, version 3.5* I love this translation, however I wish you would name the Books and not have just the number of chapters listed. Also the ads are annoying and very distracting ### 3/5 — How do I change the setting? *2023-11-04, version 3.5* This app only appears in portrait view. It will not allow me to change to landscape. Very annoying. ### 4/5 — Ads are too much! *2022-06-26, version 3.5* The user experience is killed by the ads not only inappropriate for reading the Bible but it’s just too much that it’s annoying. ### 4/5 — Review *2022-05-13, version 3.5* Would rather pay for APP than have pop ups. It’s off putting when you’re trying to reach God ### 1/5 — Poorly formatted *2021-12-23, version 3.5* I looked up Hebrews and it wouldn’t even go to the book. I’m not impressed! ### 1/5 — Notifications *2021-11-08, version 3.5* You can’t turn off the notifications. ### 1/5 — Format lacking. *2021-09-08, version 3.5* Only aligns to vertical aspect. ### 4/5 — Wrong Bible. I want the Catholic Bible not King James *2021-06-22, version 3.5* Please delete the King James Bible. thank you, Judy Schell ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Frequent loud adds *2026-07-26, version 4.6* This app runs frequent video adds which are not even relayed to the product. More than once in church I open this app and forget to turn the sound down and a loud app goes off. The teacher is halfway through his reading before the stupid add finishes and then I’m behind. ### 1/5 — Plays frequent adds. *2026-06-21* This app plays frequent adds, and heaven help you if you forget to turn the sound down before whipping this app out at church. Everybody’s trying to do a Bible study and the next thing they know they’re hearing a commercial for Royal Match! ### 1/5 — Ads are ridiculous *2026-05-04, version 4.4* Title says it all. Can’t read the bible. Minute long video ad after every page. Most of the ads are very scammy too. ### 1/5 — Horrible Ad Interruptions *2026-04-03, version 4.4* Worst Bible app I’ve ever tried. Ads are horrible. Often, in church or Sunday School, I’m trying to keep up with Bible references. Just when I try to go find another scripture, BOOM!!! up pops the most annoying (and sometimes INAPPROPRIATE) ads. Just terrible. I paid for lifetime no ads and after several months i was forced to “update”. As a result, lost my “no ads” status. ### 1/5 — No support for Landscape *2025-08-18, version 4.1* I couldn’t believe that this app only supports Portrait mode and not Landscape mode, but why? ### 1/5 — TOXIC APP *2025-05-07, version 4.0* This app is worthless. It is not allowed to work because the ad block feature blocks it from working unless you purchase it. Stay away, don’t waist your time. ### 1/5 — Do not purchase app *2025-02-05, version 4.0* .1 ### 1/5 — The Worst Bible apps *2024-07-13, version 3.5* All the NASB Bible apps are the worst apps ever made. The are just time wasters or don’t k ow what they are supposed to be doing. Should be scraped off the AppStores immediately! ### 1/5 — Separated verses *2024-01-21, version 3.5* Why are the verses separated and apart. This is not conducive for smooth reading. ### 1/5 — Search *2023-12-04, version 3.5* Can’t get a search of the new twestament to return any reults ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — J Allan *2024-09-13, version 3.5* Having extensively researched the various translations, all of which are good (short of the occult versions), I found the NASB to be the most up-to-date and accurate. The app, its convenience and quick access, has been a real blessing. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Jesus words in red *2024-09-11, version 3.5* Jesus words in red? ### 5/5 — Lisa K. *2024-02-18, version 3.5* This truly helps make any Bible study series easier. I love the large print and the ability to research any book or chapter at the touch of a button. Thank you, I love it! ### 5/5 — A Diamond found! *2023-07-25, version 3.5* This App is super easy to read and finding scripture is also easy! ### 5/5 — God bless you *2023-06-18, version 3.5* It is very clear easy and readable ### 5/5 — Prophet *2023-02-28, version 3.5* This version is very easily understood! I’m able to visualize what i read as i continue on my studies. Thank you, God bless ### 5/5 — NASB translation *2021-12-19, version 3.5* The truth of God’s Word never changes. Thank you✝️ ### 5/5 — The greatest Bible app with The greatest Bible Translation *2021-09-10, version 3.5* Everything about the app “feels right”. It is seamless. It facilitates sharing one’s faith by easy sharing of scripture/verses. I love it. ### 5/5 — A clearer version for me. *2020-10-18, version 3.5* In Isaiah 49:6 certain words are capitalized making this a much clearer version for me. ### 5/5 — Word Of Gratitude🙏 *2020-04-11, version 3.0* This apps help me much for my thirst to find my faith. Thank you very much. May God bless us all. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
