Come back

I love this app. I wish they would bring it back. I have used this app for over 12 yrs. I love that I can listen to the Bible highlight things so I don’t lose my place or even to go back to remind me of what God spoke to me about in that moment. Please bring it back!

Used to be 5 stars

Used to love this app, but it isn’t compatible with the iPhone without a home button - the controls are now hidden in the corners and aren’t accessible.
