## What is NRSV?

The New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) of the Bible is one of the most widely loved English versions of the Bible. Descended from the King James Version, it combines academic rigour with a flowing style. The NRSV: The Bible for Everyone app features:

### 1/5 — 2 kings bug not fixed

*2024-01-27*

App reads wrong verses and keeps closing.  I can’t find app tech support contact information to help with this issue.

### 3/5 — Variable Playback Speed

*2023-08-29*

Is there any option for variable audio speed (e.g. 2x speed)? I assumed this feature would exist, but it does not seem to. This greatly effects the usability of the audio for me, which is the primary reason I paid for this app. Otherwise, upon initial use, the app seems good.

### 5/5 — Fantastic with 1 minor wish

*2022-09-04*

Though gripe is a bit strong. This is a fantastic app, easy to use and simple. I love the ability to start the audio on a specific verse. Very highly recommended. I do wish you could select multiple verses to highlight rather than having to go 1 at a time. This is very minor though and I still give this app high marks.

### 2/5 — Crashes in Kings 2

*2022-03-30*

I downloaded this recently and it still crashes in Kings 2.

### 4/5 — Great Bible App with preferred Translation

*2021-12-06*

This is a great app that rivals the ESV bible app. I prefer the NRSV over the ESV so it’s nice to have this as an easy access to look up verses. 
My only recommendation that would make it a perfect 5 stars is if it included an option for the NRSV apocrypha. It could be an add on or an extra purchase but just having it would be beneficial and set this apart from the other bible apps.

### 2/5 — Fix the issues

*2021-09-12*

Skip, forward, back features do not work

### 3/5 — Potentially A Good App

*2021-01-21*

It’s fine for ready and the audio is the best I have found. The issue is that it will not play the next chapter if my phone is locked and it will often skip the last few verses and jump to the next chapter (if the phone is open with the app open).

### 2/5 — Deuterocanonical books

*2020-10-02*

Many NRSV Bibles include the Deuterocanonical books. I was hoping they would be included. Without them I probably wouldn’t have purchased the app. The App Store should list that they are not included.

### 5/5 — The best NRSV audio Bible!

*2020-04-16*

What a fantastic price for this! The app is good, but what makes this 5 stars is the stellar audio recording. The narrator’s voice (tone, pace, etc.) is perfect. I can’t stand most audio Bibles, but this one is exactly what I was looking for, especially since it is for the NRSV - which doesn’t get enough love. Sadly, I haven’t seen the mp3 files for sale outside this app.

### 1/5 — Audio skips

*2020-01-28*

Audio frequently skips verses towards the end of chapters. Hope this can be fixed.
