Not just keep repeating same chapter. Then it would be 5 stars ### 3/5 — Help *2023-09-11* Restore purchases is not working ### 3/5 — Need continuous play features added *2023-01-21, version 1.5* I play the bible continuously in my home. I would like to be able to download the whole Message Bible and let that play. This downloading and playing one chapter at a time is not very good for me. How can we get the option to download and play continuously? Thank Sandy ### 4/5 — Version 1.5 deleted purchase features *2022-10-04* Purchased in 2016 for IOS IPad. With the last update, Version 1.5 the purchased features are gone. In settings I choose restore purchase and nothing changed. Please fix this quickly. I miss my Bible. ### 3/5 — Excellent listening app... Support not good *2021-06-01* Reading Great; however, continuation stopped and support still had not fixed it. Also it’s difficult to find the app on other devices for download. ### 3/5 — Needs to be able to play through a book. *2021-05-05* I love audio Bibles. The Message is a good one to listen to. However I wish this app wouldn’t end every single chapter with a voice that says, “times up.” I would rate it five stars if it would just play continuously through an entire book at a time as well. I hate having to go in and press play for each new chapter. And the saying, “times up” is startling and unnecessary. ### 4/5 — Significant *2020-11-15, version 1.4* Provides translation in an introspective manner which lends itself to a greater understanding of the mind of GOD. ### 5/5 — Question *2020-02-14, version 1.4* Is this app ally free? ### 5/5 — Great app, download and listen offline *2019-11-21* I drive a lot and love this app. You can download chapters and listen to them offline without having to use up bandwidth. Thanks for the great app! ### 5/5 — Enjoying the Audio Bible *2018-10-24* Just started using the message bible, love the simplicity and everyday language. The reader also has a pleasant voice. Can you add an up rotation so that it moves as the verses are read. ### 5/5 — This is awesome! *2018-05-21, version 1.4* I love the direct and active way the narrator speaks. Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why *2025-10-29, version 1.5* Why does each chapter stop. Will not auto to next chapter. Why, even after paying the $5 fee. ### 1/5 — Please return my money . This app does not work. *2025-05-22* I did not see the complaints until after I paid. You have too many dissatisfied customers. Return my money cancel my subscription. ### 1/5 — Unsatisfied *2023-07-25, version 1.5* I bought this app with good attention that is would proceed to each chapter without ads All of sudden it stop It was a waste of money I really think it is a scam WATCH OUT!!!! ### 1/5 — Message Bible *2023-05-14, version 1.5* I Love 💖💖💖 the message BIBLE so much it help’s me to understand the BIBLE so much clearer. Thank You so much ‼️‼️. ### 1/5 — Not continuous play *2022-01-08* I got this and wish I could get a refund. I set the night timer for 15 minutes, but even with this setting, it stops at the end of every chapter and says "times up". Then you have to press play again to move to the next chapter. There is no way to fall asleep to this or even to listen during the day without constantly managing it. ### 1/5 — Not free *2019-12-10, version 1.4* I searched for free audio bible and this app came up. Not doubting my fellow family in Christ I downloaded the app. In order for audio to play you have to pay! Why not just be honest! I know you know what free is. Free is gods grace towards us! So I know you know what it means. Seriously!!!Unexpected. ### 1/5 — Too many ad's *2016-04-26* Cannot read because of too many ads ### 2/5 — plz fix *2026-05-13, version 1.5* this app can be very beneficial but there are too many issues. everytime i read a chapter, get to the end the time, and press the arrow to go to the next page and the entire app shuts down! ### 2/5 — No longer being updated *2024-02-02, version 1.5* Don’t buy…go only with free ### 2/5 — Message Bible review *2021-01-15* Doesn’t highlight the verse being read. The chapter doesn’t move according to the verse being read. I like the voice, but disappointed over these two things ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App Review *2025-07-21* Great app, so excited using it. I have been looking for good Message translation app and this is just it. God bless you.’ ### 5/5 — Love The Message Bible! *2025-07-11* I love the version of The Message on this app! It’s my favorite version and I can follow along with it with my Message Bible. Bravo on such a precious work! ### 5/5 — Thanks *2025-04-11* This was my first time using The Message translation. I appreciate that it is a very simplified version written in the language of tone that resonates with teens and young adults. I laugh sometimes when I hear the language read out. I am really enjoying the version. I like that I can listen to the reading of the Word using the built in voice command. Thank you so much ### 5/5 — Thanks *2025-03-09* It is very easy to understand. The audio is superb and greatly assists me as a legally blind person to study and absorb the beauty of God’s word. My favorite host is Viv calming and sincere. Thank you for this audio archive. Peace ### 5/5 — The Voice *2025-02-23* I and my children love this app. We especially love the gentleman who is the voice over of it- we would love to know who he is, his name. I thought he sounded like Zachariah Levi. ### 5/5 — Practical but ugly *2024-02-22* Very nice, wish it was more aesthetically pleasing but good enough for me. ### 5/5 — The message bible *2023-01-28, version 1.5* Excelente translation! Thank you very much! ### 5/5 — Love *2022-08-12* I listen to this Bible daily and I’m so happy that it’s available to everyone. Thank you for the Word ### 5/5 — Wonderful! *2021-09-22* I love this version of the Message Bible because it marks the give chapter and verse just like the King James Bible so I can compare verse by verse. ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-08-06* This Bible is so readable. Verses and chapters that I have memorized over my life in King James open up in a new way. I do wish all apps would give the option to pay right on the first App Store screen. I’m very happy to pay to bypass ads, but we should have that option at the beginning. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
