Would love it if this would be updated so I can use my purchased resources without having to subscribe or watch ads like I do on the Life Bible app now.

Very simple

I know the original one has been update and they cancel the original one but I was looking for something like this. but it says NLT Bible give it a check is the same one that I use before the new one was to much especially I’m just a simple man it will be nice to add more colours for highlight marker. I was wondering if you can get other Bible visions.I don’t like using the new one. I like this old one.like I said, it’s very simple.
