I paid for the pro for a year which was not cheap , but would’ve been worth it had it did what I thought. The audio stories are good. But there’s only four or five. Probably will not renew for another year. ### 1/5 — SCAM *2026-01-26* Do not buy this!! You have to pay as soon as you download the app to be able to access anything. I paid (not cheap either) and only 3 chapters of genesis are available. It says “check back tomorrow” for more studies to be available but it’s been days with no more chapters available and no one answers the customer support. ### 2/5 — Subscription needed *2026-01-26* You must pay before getting into the app. Pastors should also not be AI. I recommend using the traditional Bible app and seeking a church and build a relationship with a real pastor!! ### 1/5 — Paid for 1 week *2026-01-26* Got 3 stories can't access anymore. Complete ripoff ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2026-01-25* Downloaded the app and paid the fee after hearing about this on TikTok. I was really excited for this app so I could get more Bible time in while driving etc. Listened to the first 3 readings from genesis within 5 mins of downloading the app and now after waiting 2 weeks, it still says “check back soon. More Bible stories are on the way”. At this point it is just another Bible app since you aren’t able to listen to any more readings/stories. Might as well save your money and just download the free Bible app instead. It is really disappointing to have to pay from the get go, to not have access to anything and not have anything new uploaded in the last couple of weeks. I understand with “new apps” and “new creators” things can take a while, but they should have been up front about the timeline, rather than take your money to have access. To me unfortunately, it feels like stealing at this point. Save your money and save yourself the disappointment. ### 1/5 — No Free Version *2026-01-25* Subscription ONLY either a yearly or monthly fee. ### 1/5 — Eh *2026-01-25* Customer support email doesn’t work. Tried many times. When I want to listen to more stories popup says “ will release another one tomorrow “ no further stories releases. Irritating ### 3/5 — I paid.. but can’t get all the books/scripture? *2026-01-24* It makes no since. It says read the Bible at your own pace.. I paid. And when I click on the next verses it just says come back tomorrow. It’s been tomorrow for several days. ### 1/5 — Paywall IMMEDIATELY!!! *2026-01-22* Downloaded this app after seeing it all over TikTok and thought it would be something great to use and even share with my kids. Unfortunately, the moment I created an account I was forced to choose between paying $5 a week or $40 for the year. There was no free version, no trial, and no basic option that wasn’t “premium.” I deleted the app immediately. I’m not willing to pay when I don’t even know if it’s worth it! Definitely not $5 a week! ### 1/5 — Knockoff Ai slop app *2026-01-08* This is just a knock off of the Bible bff app. I accidentally came to this app only to hear AI voices ripping me off. Going back to real voices on Bible bff ### 1/5 — Not Free *2026-01-02* Immediately after creating an account, it will not let you use the app unless you pay for the pro version monthly. Why have a pro version if you won’t even let us use the regular version? Just say it for what it is without false advertising ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-01-02* Weekly charge ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The stories section and audio doesn’t play. *2026-07-10* I specifically purchased this app to read the stories out loud to me while I’m working. The stories do not play, none of them. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2026-04-29* Downloaded the app and paid the fee after hearing about this on TikTok. I was really excited for this app so I could get more Bible time in while driving etc. Listened to the first 3 readings from genesis within 5 mins of downloading the app and now after waiting 2 weeks, it still says “check back soon.

Save your money and save yourself the disappointment. ### 1/5 — Not as advertised *2026-02-18* Really disappointed, every day we check for new stories to load and every day we are disappointed to see no new stories, what did I pay for if I can’t use it ### 1/5 — This is such a disappointment *2026-02-06* I was very hyped since I’ve seen this app all over TikTok and this is supposed to get you closer to god but you’re not only forced to pay to get started, but you will realize how incomplete this app is. 3 bible chapters that’s all you get for 50 bucks. ### 1/5 — WHAT A SCAM *2026-02-06* Terrible app. Terrible developer ### 1/5 — Not worth a penny *2026-02-03* New story’s daily? I paid and had 3 stories total to listen to. Weeks later there is still only 5 stories. No chat support available and no dream of a refund since the support email never goes through due to invalid address ### 1/5 — Popup *2026-02-02* Won’t let me get passed pop up after I bought the pro version going on a week of trying to get around it. ### 1/5 — It’s froze *2026-01-30* Purchase this app, have not used it because it is froze on the page that says we’re excited we’ve added more Bible readings. So basically I can’t get that page to go away to access the app. Beware!! ### 1/5 — Popup *2026-01-28* Won’t let me get passed pop up after I bought the pro version ### 1/5 — NOT WHAT IT SEEMS! *2026-01-27* What prompted me to purchase this Bible App was the fact bibles stories were being told in a “Grandpa’s” story voice. That is NOT what I purchased. I reached out to customer service and have not heard a word from them. Don’t make the same mistake I did! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best part of my morning commute *2026-08-20* I listen to bible stories while driving to work daily now and then use their scripture guidance to journal about it after. I love the daily widgets too so I wake up to a relevant reminder of my relationship with God. Highly recommend this app, feels very personalized to me. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-08-12* Love this app, has made getting closer with God and reading the Bible regularly so much easier for me. It’s the best for long drives and right before I sleep. Super worth it ### 5/5 — Great way to spend time with God on your daily commute *2026-06-04* I’ve tried a lot of Bible apps, but this one is the one I keep coming back to. The stories are easy to listen to and help me stay focused, especially when I’m driving or getting ready in the morning. The voices and sound are really well done, and it feels more like someone is telling you the story than just reading words off a page. It has helped me make Bible time part of my everyday life. I also like that the app is simple and easy to use. I didn’t have to spend time figuring things out. I opened it, picked a story, and started listening. If you’re busy but still want to grow your faith, I think this app is a great choice. It has helped me spend more time with God, and I’m excited to see it keep getting better. ### 5/5 — Review *2026-01-22* Solid app ### 5/5 — Great for my kids *2026-01-17* This has been really great for my children. It’s hard to get them engaged in the Bible sometimes. This keeps it interesting for young ones! ### 5/5 — Has helped me so much *2026-01-06* I use this app everyday, indcluding adding the prayer to my home screen with the widget. i read the prayer every morning and it always motivates me for the day ! ### 5/5 — Cool modern audio *2026-01-06* I don’t read the Bible often but I found this app to be very interesting to listen to in a nee Gen Z language haha ### 5/5 — Best Bible app so far *2025-12-23* The reading of the bible got me from the vidoes I saw on TikTok but what made me love it , is that the app is really good and helps me ### 5/5 — A great Bible tool *2025-12-18* This is an incredibly engaging tool for Bible readers from all stages of life! Highly recommend ### 3/5 — Not fully developed *2026-01-25* I was really excited to get this app for my baby boy. He is 6 months old and I loved the idea of letting bible stories play in the background while we do activities. It’s a great concept but after paying for a year subscription it was disappointing to see there are only 3 bible chapters available for reading. The rest of the bible is “coming soon” but I feel as though it would’ve been best to have the app fully developed and available before promoting it on social media. Especially if you are going to charge a fee. Hopefully this will change soon but as for now I would recommend to anyone considering the app to wait to purchase a subscription until the app is fully available to users. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
