But the text to speech reading voice sounds like a Honda Civic navigation system. It is a little annoying. Also, why do ads have to be in a BIBLE app? Other Than that, it is great! I recommend it ### 4/5 — Ads *2026-06-07, version 1.0* The ads are of indecent covered women. Why? ### 3/5 — Quiz *2026-05-29, version 1.0* Quiz does not work ### 1/5 — Only get a blank screen *2026-03-10, version 1.0* These “ positive” comments must be fake because I downloaded this app 3 days ago and I’m still only getting a blank screen. There is no way an app that has “ 4 stars” is only a blank screen unless you write the reviews yourself to make people think it’s a good app and download it to find out it’s a scam. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-03-02, version 1.0* Downloaded it removed it downloaded it. Removed it over and over still does not work. ### 1/5 — I wanted to love it *2026-02-20, version 1.0* Throughout the scriptures there are “frontext<457$8” or “<362@.t” just random things like that that make no sense. It was updated to fat as well. ### 2/5 — Strange and annoying symbols embedded in text *2026-02-14, version 1.0* How hto delete symbols in text ### 1/5 — Ads etc *2026-02-01, version 1.0* With “font /color #bcf etc” in every words or sentence, And ads always ### 4/5 — I love god so I love the app. *2026-01-18, version 1.0* I enjoy it. ### 1/5 — No thanks *2026-01-11, version 1.0* I want to get a bible not a platform that you get ads that some I believe are against gods word. God says to go freely into the world and spread his gospel, but you as a company have decided to profit of a sharing God‘s word. The bad thing is is that some of your commercials are kind of against the things that God say, I don’t wanna have to have a Bible that I have to pay forconstantly. Are you just keep getting ads that you don’t wanna see and you can’t get rid of them so shame on you making money is more important than sharing God’s word freely. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — too fast *2026-09-03, version 1.0* its bad enough it is a computer reading it but I wish I could slow it down. ### 1/5 — Glitches *2026-08-02, version 1.0* Horrible glitches ### 1/5 — Search bar *2026-07-28, version 1.0* You type in one of the books in the Bible in the search bar and nothing comes up ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-06-25, version 1.0* When reviewing some of the Book I had the text mixed with the HTML ### 1/5 — Quiz *2026-06-19, version 1.0* Quiz does not work, old and New Testament chapters are not sorted correctly ### 1/5 — Too Difficult to use! *2026-05-02, version 1.0* You can’t go the book you want to read because the table of contents isn’t finished. The titles link to books. ### 1/5 — Worst audio voice I’ve ever heard *2026-04-20, version 1.0* I’m trying to listen to the bible while reading or sometimes just listening and I thought it might be a good idea to try this app out as I have tried out others that haven’t worked out and this app has the worst possible audio voice to where I’m following along and don’t even know what is being said and am being cringed out of my mind that I can’t even think half the time I open the app it doesn’t even work and I have to constantly refresh it just for it to not work anyway there are many bible apps I would suggest over this one don’t download this app. ### 1/5 — This sucks *2026-03-30, version 1.0* It was more adds than it was bible the s og bible app is so Mutch better a bible app shouldn’t keep giving me bra adds!!! ### 1/5 — None found? *2026-03-26, version 1.0* Was hoping for an easy to use NIV app. I am unable to search for individual books of the Bible.
