I want to like it
Just too many steps to open a passage I’m looking for. Also, the app has been crashing a lot for me lately!
Helps me learn on the go
Works really well and I like the design
Expensive:(
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 :(
Used to like this app - when it was free
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.
Too Expensive to be Accessible
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.

Doesn’t work!
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.
Table of contents?
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.
I found it.
Straight up blasphemous
This app goes against scripture and God Himself by affirming all sorts of sin, avoid at all costs.
Was thrilled
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.

confused and disappointed
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…

Unaffordable for the people who need it most
I downloaded this app soon after it originally came out and I actually had a premium subscription that first year. But when it came time for my renewal, the price had gone up and it was just too unaffordable. I thought I would redownload it now and see if they'd gotten enough pushback and lowered the price, but instead the price has gone UP since the last time, and now there are NO free devos—their website is still advertising five free devos per month and a $4.99/month price point, but now there are no free devos and it's $8.99 per month. It's honestly sad, because there are a lot of marginalized people out there who really need this kind of content in the face of mainstream exclusionary Christianity, but they're being priced out here. If the subscription price was lower or if they offered tiers, they'd be more likely to have more people subscribing and they'd still be bringing in the same amount of revenue. But as it stands, looks like I'm deleting again.

Podcasts on this app are great
I appreciate this ad-free app so I understand why some content requires a subscription. I’m really enjoying the free podcasts for now and might subscribe to get the additional readings.
Inaccurate
Read the real Bible. God loves everyone, no need to change His word
Not the right remedy
There are some refreshing topics in here (especially regarding race), but there seems to be a lot of bashing against our more conservative brothers/sisters.
If a devotional series on an ancient Middle Eastern book lines up with a modern, American (Western) worldview/movement it’s a cause for concern. Others are very Republican (not great). These come across as advicacy points for the Democratic Socialists of America dressed up in Biblical language (again, not great).
Let’s deconstruct the right stuff, folx.
Also, the paywall …

Meh
It’s good to have a more progressive Bible app, but by now almost everything is behind a paywall, so if you have the free version, it’s barely useable.
A good app!
I’m so glad a Bible app like this exists! I’m a LGBTQ+ Christian and I love that I can see people like me! There are a few gripes I have with this app though. First, and I understand why this is done, but I think there are too many premium devotionals and not enough free ones. I think it is important to support an app like this, but for the people who can’t support the app monetarily but could really use the devotionals, it’s a bit disappointing. The other thing, which is a technical error, is that I’m not able to join the LGBTQ+ Christian chat group. I was able to join other groups but every time I try to access the LGBTQ+ Christian chat it won’t change from the white join button to the purple chat button. Overall though, I really like that an app like this is available, and I do recommend it despite the things I don’t like about it. Thank you, Our Bible!

Paywall blocks almost all content
Thought this would be ok but 95% content is behind a paywall for individual items and monthly access. Delete within minutes. Which is sad cause content looked decent
Fantastic Progressive Christian Resource
I didn't know other Christians could lean progressive until about 12 years ago! These are my people!!!
Can’t afford it
I got in on the ground floor, so to speak and really enjoyed the relevant, progressive content. But over time, less and less was available to those who weren’t paid subscribers. And the emails about the latest content seldom contained much for those who were trying to make it work for free. You don’t *have to* pay, but you’ll get precious little if you don’t.

Guess it’s not kept up
This looked super promising, but it requires a subscription that I can’t even find or attempt to subscribe to. I have gone into the subscribe section of the app but it’s completely blank and stays that way. There is no option to actually subscribe with no pricing available. I would love to try some of the devotionals, but the paywall is preventing that.
