When I tried to open the same app on my iPad, it wanted me to pay again. Not going to. This seems like a scam to me. ### 1/5 — NRSV BIBLE *2019-05-23* There might be a problem downloading the audio files. Since on or about 1:00 a.m. only 54% has been downloaded so far. I would like to know if the procedure is normal. Thank you. Yvonne ### 1/5 — Too bad *2019-02-18* This app looked like it would be a good one. Unfortunately you have to pay to see anything other than Genesis 1. ### 1/5 — Gotta pay to play *2018-12-22* Can only see Genesis 1 if you don’t pay. ### 1/5 — This bible lies! Author read your commandments *2018-07-25* Book is advertised as free (ok, so free to download) but will not actually work until you pay to upgrade. Shame on you ### 1/5 — Sigh *2018-07-06* So far I purchased the app and it’s been in loading status. I cannot view the books. It seems the only way to get help is Apple. And that has been a run around. 😢 I’m hopeful... ### 1/5 — How can I get it for free *2018-06-24, version 1.0.1* Need the NRSV if anyone knows how’s to get it for free. Please let me know. God Bless ### 1/5 — Not free - scammy *2018-06-13* All the apps by this developer seem to have this same scam. Basically it’s a “free” app but you’re required to buy either the book or audio immediately upon opening the app. So many better options out there to get the NRSV on your mobile devise. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Paid but did not receive audio *2026-03-19* I took a chance and it didn’t work. I paid the $2.98 to be able to even access the books and then paid $5.99 to have audio and it doesn’t work. I can read but not listen. Disappointed. I should have read the reviews better, I hope others do! ### 1/5 — Application not opening *2025-11-12* Application needs an update to work ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work, lost money *2025-03-28* The app doesn’t work, keeps buffering even after upgrading with payment. Unable to read the Bible. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-02-24* This app says "get" not a price, but actually to use anything at all within the app, you must purchase an "upgrade" but then after you buy that you actually still can't use the app until you purchase another "upgrade". I have no idea if you ever get a usable bible reader somewhere down the road but I hate being deceived and will not give money to find out. I recommend you waste no money or time on this scam either. ### 1/5 — Thieves *2024-12-24* Hey mien u are a thief talking about pay $2.99 to upgrade to read the bible. U should be shame and stop what u are doing. U are the type the drives pple away from God. Devils ### 1/5 — Even a pastor is right here *2022-09-17* This app is terrible. It’s bad enough that it’s peddling magic thoughts. Even further, it seeks to take advantage of the lesser minded folk. I guess it’s par for the course and this app has read the book it’s representing. Avoid this app. But I must give credit where credit is due, these people have read the teachings and are killing it. Give me your money… if you want something you need to pay for it, especially if it’s salvation… have faith in the product prior to your purchase. The parallels are endless and so enjoyable. Tip to future purchasers: make an effort to use this but don’t pay the scam… even it it’s a scam justified by the book it sells. Kisses Instead. Get “Bible” it has Holy Bible on the cover of the book app. This one will allow you to download the NRSV and read it without requiring 10% of your income. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2022-02-13* Don’t bother downloading. Won’t let you read a word without requiring a paid upgrade. ### 1/5 — Prepare to pay *2021-01-12* Only get the 1st page free. Everything else I clicked on wants money. Sad. ### 1/5 — Very Disappointed!!! *2020-05-08* No where does it says that I would have to pay in order to read this Bible. Only after I downloaded it to my device and I tried to read a passage did a pop up informed me that I would have to pay to open a book. I am deleting from my device... ### 1/5 — Disappointed Pastor *2020-04-14* I should’ve paid attention to other negative feedback about this app before paying for it. I guess it’s my trusting spirit as a pastor to have grace and give this app a chance. However, line the experiences of others, all I could get was the first chapter of Genesis, and the app would not open other scripture texts without asking me to upgrade. I paid for the upgrade, and then it still wouldn’t open other scriptures without making another upgrade to include audio. Why in the heck do I need audio? I can read, and know my scriptures since I was a child. I just wanted to have a NRSV Bible on my phone device since that’s the version I needed and use, and because this app was the only NRSV Bible could find. If you want the NRSV translation, DO NOT GET THIS APP! Just go online, and do a search for NRSV Bible online. Use the Bible gateway website to do scriptural searches. There’s also no cost. I’m disappointed for the fraud played on me as a pastor. Consider my $2.99 as a donation to your scam. Shameful, simply shameful! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2026-03-07* I have had this app for a couple years now. I paid for the audio and its great. The time and effort that was put into the audio is apparent and is just excellence. I bought an actual nrsv bible to read along and its spot on. I thinks its great and well worth the cost! Thank you!!! ### 5/5 — Pretty Good… *2024-06-24* I just got the app today and purchased the entire upgrade. I am able to play and read all books. The audio is good. I purchased the hardcover study NRSV Bible fully revised and updated but I’m not sure if this app is updated as well but it’s still worth it to me to use during church services. I love the side by side comparison with the KJV. Totally worth $9.99 to me. ### 5/5 — 有免费的吗？中国不能付款，谢谢🙏 *2023-11-14* 你好！ ### 5/5 — NRSV Bible *2021-08-21* I’ve had to purchase a Bible for my tablet as I need a larger print ... but I love real books! Was very pleased with this NRSV Bible, although the free download consisted of Genesis 1:1, the whole Bible costs £2.49 which is very good value and should have said in the App Store (misleading to say the download of the Bible is ‘free’). Very easy to navigate around the Bible and bookmark / highlight areas. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2019-03-19* I have had this app for a couple years now. I paid for the audio and its great. The time and effort that was put into the audio is apparent and is just excellence. I bought an actual nrsv bible to read along and its spot on. I thinks its great and well worth the cost! Thank you!!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-09-24* Thanks for the audio ### 5/5 — NRSV great bible *2018-08-18* Thank you ### 5/5 — Great bible *2018-06-27* Great bible Nrsv ### 5/5 — Mr *2018-05-17* This is a great bible tool ### 3/5 — Bookmark feature does not work usefully *2024-05-12* The bookmark feature does not fully work. The mechanism is you highlight a piece of text you want to "bookmark", and then tap the bookmark symbol. To retrieve a bookmarked highlighted verse, goto the menu > bookmarks and you can visual see all your bookmarked versus. However it does not matter which of these you touch, you are always bought back to the last verse you bookmarked. Also it seems impossible to clean up or delete the older bookmarks if they are on the same page. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
