I was wondering, you used to be able to go back to the Verse of the day from previous days, this feature is no longer available. Please could this feature be reinstated? Sometimes the verse for the day may relate to the previous days verse and you want to revisit and compare while you study. ### 2/5 — TO MUCH ADDS *2025-03-30, version 4.3* This app is very good to look at and is very good for reading the Bible, but it has too many adds. Every couple of seconds an add pops up which usually interrupts you when you read. ### 2/5 — Audio *2025-01-02, version 4.3* You can’t listen to but a few verses before it’s interrupted with an ad. I’ve delete the app. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2024-12-23, version 4.3* I can’t even to begin to enjoy reading the Bible without multiple ads. My time in the Bible is important. My concentration should be on the Lord and not on ads and how to stop them. ### 1/5 — Incomplete Bible *2024-11-29, version 4.3* This Bible is missing the apocrypha / deuterocanonical books, despite there being a NKJV version of them. Will update rating if these books are added. ### 1/5 — Horrible Ads *2024-11-02, version 4.3* At a Bible study. And I’m trying to get to different chapters and every time I click a new chapter an Ad pops up for 30 seconds. Pathetic. Make this a free App this shouldn’t be your money maker. ### 1/5 — Money Thirsty *2024-10-04* I spent $15 on getting the ad free life time version last year. I just recently got a new phone and I tried to restore purchase, but they no longer offer the life time version. They only have the three months subscription, yearly subscription or two years. The two years costs $50…… Can I get my life time ad free feature? 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. (I had to watch an ad just to copy that verse btw) ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2024-09-28, version 4.3* Literally the ads make this app so annoying to use. Every time you click the screen, an ad pops up and makes reading efficiently really hard. ### 1/5 — Way too many ads. *2024-08-31, version 4.3* There is an ad every page. Way too many ads. ### 2/5 — Lost *2024-07-31, version 4.3* Had a one year reading plan and was reading Psalms. Next day the whole app,had changed. Appearance,, lost my reading plans my bookmarks highlights and notes. Very disappointing ### 3/5 — Bible app rotation issue bug *2024-07-14, version 4.3* Iuse to be able to rotate the scripture …now it won’t even budge.that is very disappointing. The scripture is easy to read . ### 1/5 — Demonic pictures *2024-07-12, version 4.3* This app was nice until I went into the Wallpaper section to see what kind of wallpapers are available and I saw a picture of a hanging “Dream Catcher”. That is NOT Christian (common sense)! Use discernment with ALL CONTENT. I’m deleting this app! ### 3/5 — bring back the other audio reading *2024-07-08, version 4.3* bring back the other audio reading it was better to listen to ### 1/5 — Stole my purchase *2024-07-01* I bought the app for live 3.9.23 Then 26.6 they did an update where i have to purchase all of a sudden every year a new subscription I contacted support, send emails, Tried to restore my previous purchase nothing worked. Its one thing to rip off people its anothing to do with a christian product as the bible!! Also the text to speach doesnt work! No sound ### 1/5 — Loss everything *2024-07-01* I have been using this app over a year. I have read several of the Bible books in its entirety and was about halfway done. Then there was an update out blue and everything was deleted. It looks like I haven't even started reading anything. It's frustrating because I really wanted to challenge myself to finish and now I have to start from scratch and hope this doesn't happen again a year from now. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Inappropriate ads *2026-07-24* Bible has a lot of pop-up ads. I find it very annoying while you’re trying to read, and you keep having to look at short ads. Worst part is there’s a bunch of ads that just linger and change while you’re trying to read the Bible. And some are very explicit. Women in lingerie and very tight and revealing clothing. Very inappropriate for a Bible app. I just removed the app as well. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-05-31, version 5.4* I was thinking this app would be perfect, but then in the middle of service I start getting loud advertising. Bad timing. You know if I like the app I will donate but don’t try to get money from me while I’m sitting quietly in church! ### 1/5 — They were removing sentences from the NKJV *2025-11-16* Reading a passage I’ve found it weird that a whole sentence was missing. I went on to double check on 2 other NKJV and found it there, so it’s not a matter of the NKJV not having it but this app removing it. ### 1/5 — CASH GRAB *2025-11-01, version 5.0* this whole bible is made with ai, it’s clear that whoever made this app doesn’t care and just shoves ads in your face very ten seconds if you have this app installed, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD UNINSTALL IT!! PLEASE!! ### 1/5 — Verses are broken up into chunks *2025-08-22, version 5.0* Verses are broken up into blocks containing a verse. Doesn’t flow that way. And the home page is violating the 2nd commandment. No way to change these things. Not sure how long I’ll be able to stand this… ### 1/5 — Paid for and free *2025-05-25, version 4.3* Paid to have no ads, change phones in now I am being bombarded with ads when using app. Nobody will respond to my complaint through their technical support. extremely frustrated with this app ### 1/5 — Audio stop working *2025-04-21, version 4.3* I love reading along with the audio. That was the main reason I downloaded this Bible but today when I was ready to read the Bible with the audio it stopped working. I love this Bible so please fix the audio. ### 1/5 — too many ads *2025-03-28, version 4.3* to many ads ### 1/5 — Ad free but still get ads *2025-03-08, version 4.3* The ad free version keeps posting ads. You have to refresh the app every time you open it. It’s not ad free! ### 1/5 — What happened *2025-01-08, version 4.3* I can’t read because the page was upside down ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Beautiful experience using this app *2026-04-17* This app makes reading the bible even more enjoyable.

I read the Bible through every year so having it on my phone makes it easier. ### 5/5 — Comforting, *2024-01-12* I love this app, I can take it with me everywhere, I can read it in m bed with the lights off.
