### 2/5 — All about making money

*2026-07-31, version 5.8*

This app is worthless unless you pay for a subscription. Gone all the days where you got some value from the app simply because the designer wants to minister to people first. Real Ministry is all about helping people and allowing them to donate if they so choose. If you give me value, most people will pay or donate to support your Ministry. Show me that you’re about helping people and I will support you.

### 1/5 — Bad Choice

*2026-07-19, version 5.8*

Poorly written and compiled program. Many features do not work. Not worth the time.

### 1/5 — Paid for the Word of God, got broken features and zero response!

*2026-05-24, version 5.8*

I recently upgraded to a new phone and the app completely wiped out my history. The "restore purchase" button is totally broken. Not only am I being forced to look at intrusive ads again, but I also completely lost access to the 5 Bible versions I previously paid for. I have sent multiple emails to their support team to get this fixed, but I have received absolutely none zero response. This should not be when it comes to the word of God. They take your money, ignore your emails, and leave you with a broken app. Save your money and download a reliable alternative!!!

### 1/5 — Searching

*2026-04-27, version 5.8*

I am a premium subscriber why don’t I see premium benefits I can only read 1 bible type ? This one shouldn’t be. I like reading from AMP because it’s more relatable to my life and NIV changes the wording I hate to speak this way about a decent bible plan but why make it hard It’s the word of God

### 1/5 — Inappropriate Ad

*2026-04-15, version 5.8*

One of the ads that frequently shows up while using the app tells me that my device has been compromised because of my viewing adult content. I think this type of ad is highly inappropriate, given this is a Bible app! Also, someone who doesn’t read the whole thing might be tempted to click the link thinking their device is compromised. I don’t mind seeing ads on my free apps, but let’s make them appropriate please. Using a scare tactic like that on a Christian app is unsettling and makes me wonder who or what kind of company they are allowing to help fund them.

### 1/5 — Searching

*2026-04-14, version 5.8*

I am a premium subscriber why don’t I see premium benefits I can only read 1 bible type ? This shouldn’t be

### 1/5 — Terrible Support / Price Plan Unclear

*2026-03-30, version 5.8*

I have the 3.99 version. I say this because I have One Bible version available to me and when I try to switch it all other options are grayed out. Email requesting clarification and Help has gone unanswered for over 30 days. Today I tried to call and their system simply hung up on me. $3.99 for a single Bible version seems like a very poor value to me. Ignoring customers is inexcusable.

### 1/5 — No App Support

*2026-03-19, version 5.8*

I’ve used app for years and purchased offline use of 5 Bible versions. Used to be a great app with timely tech support. With most recent upgrade, I lost ability to swipe left or right when reading on my IPad. My only option to change books (or chapters) is the cumbersome dropdown box. Multiple inquiries for app support have gone unanswered. Buyer beware before you make any purchases.

### 1/5 — Update stole purchases

*2026-02-16, version 5.8*

I NEVER update apps for a reason, but my phone was having functional issues, so I had to. I had paid $25 for this app years ago because I wanted the NIV84, and this app had the full offline version. The update took away my NIV84, is filled with ads, and is now a poorer version of the standard bible app that most people use.

### 1/5 — I WANT WHAT I PAID FOR

*2026-02-08, version 5.8*

I have purchased quite a few Bibles over the past few years.  The app has always worked perfectly.  HOWEVER recently NONE OF MY PURCHASED BIBLES ARE ACCESSIBLE. 
I have sent messages via the app but have never received a response.  
I am posting this out of frustration.
