Also, the app has been crashing a lot for me lately! ### 5/5 — Helps me learn on the go *2026-03-02, version 4.0.2* Works really well and I like the design ### 1/5 — Expensive:( *2024-05-19, version 4.0.2* The content looks great but it’s almost all on a pay wall . As a college students it’s not something I could afford to have :( ### 1/5 — Used to like this app - when it was free *2024-01-25, version 4.0.2* It is ridiculous to expect people to pay for a bible app. Especially something that is meant to be available to people who are deconstructing and need a safe place to connect with likeminded communities but can’t unless they subscribe for premium. Maybe you guys need to rethink your priorities. ### 2/5 — Too Expensive to be Accessible *2023-11-08, version 4.0.1* As a lot of reviews have said—now, almost everything is behind a paywall. Mainstream translations are $9.99 each, so (as a student living off of loans) I can’t even read a version I know and trust and understand, let alone compare across multiple translations. I also had hoped to share affirming Bible studies with my friend who’s being hurt by the “accepting” but not affirming rural church, but those are financially out of reach for both of us. Yes, capitalism means everyone needs money to survive. But there have been other suggestions, including tiers, ads, or free samples/featured studies as advertised. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work! *2023-10-28, version 4.0.1* I was very excited for this app but it doesn’t even work. I open the app and the the loading wheel just spins forever. I can’t click on any of the studies or articles. I even tried deleting and reinstalling and it made no difference. Very disappointing. ### 4/5 — Table of contents? *2023-10-19, version 4.0.1* I click a bible version and it takes me to the first book of the Bible. There doesn’t seem to be a table of contents. I can’t click to go to another book. That makes it pretty useless to me. I found it. ### 1/5 — Straight up blasphemous *2023-10-15, version 4.0* This app goes against scripture and God Himself by affirming all sorts of sin, avoid at all costs. ### 2/5 — Was thrilled *2023-07-15, version 2.10.1* I was so excited to find this app and to read some devotionals that had perspectives I usually don’t see!! But like the other reviewers have said, the app has way too many premium only content and is 8.99 a month. I wasn’t sold on the three devotionals open for me, and since there’s no trial period, I’ll probably delete the app. Especially since it seems there hasn’t been much attention on the reviews. I’m disappointed but it was still nice to see as an app. Great idea, wish it was more accessible, understand that y’all need to get money somehow. ### 2/5 — confused and disappointed *2023-06-30, version 2.10.1* umm so, i downloaded this app because i read that it was a affirming and inclusive bible app for LGBTAI2S+ community. the app is poorly made, and cannot function properly. the bible should be behind a subscription. this app and ALL its features should be free… this app needs to be open and accessible to everyone… i like the idea of this app but it was poorly made and executed. honestly, i felt really hurt that i have to pay to read about our faith and the content of the affirming app… ## Frequently asked questions about Our Bible ### What is Our Bible App?
