Mrs
Great teaching thank you very much.

Great
Love Dr. McGee, wish the app wasnโt so glitchy
I listen to two lessons on my way to work, currently in 1 Peter. Iโm on iOS 18.5. It takes several seconds for most things I tap on to respond, and getting the lesson to play usually depends on which menu I play it from, switching menus and trying again, and rebooting the app several times. It sometimes will and sometimes wonโt automatically play the next lesson, (again often depending which menu is open) and very often wonโt save or remember which lessons I already listened to. Very frustrating when Iโm trying to get it to work in the car. But the actual lessons are wonderful, my whole family loves Dr. McGee

Amazing
Love this app
Used to be great
The new app is linking far too much personal information. My family is not allowed to download it or use it. Thoroughly app was not nearly so invasive. A simple web search on Thru The Bible. Also try to link to my phone, preventing me from downloading, free booklets and Resources. Something has changed and we are no longer able to use vernon mcgeeโs resources on our cell phones because of this. โฆ Iโm back to the bookcases and old recordings on my desktop. Too bad the app is demanding so much private information. itโs sad to say goodbye, after listening to vernon mcgee since 1981

Horrible App
I hate complaining about something free and with teaching I thoroughly enjoy but this app is plagued with bugs. Half the time it wonโt load the content, it sometimes wonโt check off where you stopped and started listening making it hard to track your progress. Also though this has improved, sometimes it wonโt hold your place in a particular teaching if you had to pause it. Iโm debating deleting it altogether as itโs too frustrating on a daily basis to use. Itโs a shame as I thoroughly enjoy Dr. McGheeโs teachings.

Broken?
I have LOVED this app and use it multiple times daily to study multiple books of the Bible, however, this morning something is wrong!!! The app is very sluggish and will not allow me to do anything/navigate at all! Help! Thank you and God bless!
Great resource!
I recently started using the app after listening on the radio for years. I find it easy to use and a great resource. Also looks great and it brings honor to God and Dr. McGeeโs teaching. If youโre going to do something for the Lord it should be done with a commitment to excellence. They have certainly done that. Thank!

Awesome
The app works flawlessly on my older tablet too. Great optimization.

I have to โre-do the appโ to play it over. I like to play it more than once. It is definitely worth the inconvenience, but I wish I didnโt have to do that.
Absolutely love this app! Recommend 1000%
I'm gaining a much deeper appreciation for the Old Testament laws and ceremonies.
Still Good
Runs a little slower than other Apps But a very good App
The best Bible teacher, now in my pocket. Amazing.

Bugs?
Love the app. Use it everyday. Sometimes though it just won't start. It wouldn't today even after restarting my iPhone. I deleted the app and am redownloading it now. Hope it works or I guess I just go directly to TTB.org blessings!
Awesome
Great app

Love the app and how it teaches you the Bible and explain the scriptures with meaning
Absolute truth
Itโs the best app I have on my phone

I really enjoy listening to J Vernon McGee . And this app is fine. However, once or twice a month I have to delete the app and start all over because it will not load or when it does it doesnโt play. I donโt know if itโs a bug but itโs becoming redundant. Wonโt stop listening but wouldnโt mind a bug free app.

This app keeps getting worse and worse
Update: Truly sad that TTB has caved to the growing anti-privacy and insecure practices that social media is promoting. I have supported this ministry for years, but that is unfortunately ending until common sense returns to the board.
How can anyone view the privacy policy if they have no way to view it? Clicking on anything other than the donate link on the website just returns you to the app store. Seems greed has finally captured the hearts of this ministry. Truly sad and I am sure McGee would not approve at all?!
๐
Update: First off I need to state that the poor review does not reflect my view of the organization as a whole... I have listened and supported this ministry off and on since the early 80s, and very much enjoy McGee's content. With that said, the app is still broken. Content does not load, and the business decisions being made have forced me back to listening to the radio... I am a bit more knowledgable than the average user, having worked in IT since before the Internet was public and currently supporting literally 100s of online companies, it is obvious to me that TTB has been influenced by the deceptive marketing and analytics side of the Internet. Understand while you may not think you are collecting personal information, the use of beacons to record access, requiring a login, along with a record of an IP is enough to positively identify anyone. And how you store that information is important, because when you get hacked (not if, but when... it is happening every minute in the fortune 500 space, how much are you spending on security?) the information you store will become public almost immediately. Most people do not even understand the cell carriers and ISPs are selling their data both as aggregate, and individually for marketing purposes. All you need is a single line from an DNS log accessing a web beacon to associate a name with a domain.
I might provide a positive review if you remove the account requirement to access content. The app appeared to break when that was implemented, and along with the new extensions for webkit to block beacons and anonymize connections in iOS 15+, this has the app unusable with any kind of online security enabled. I do thank TTB for the reply finally, but unfortunately, nothing has changed for this user. :( --- The content does not seem to load on iPhone SE running iOS 15.6. The Daily card at the top of the page never loads. The Question and Answers and Sunday Sermon cards load, but when clicked it reads 0 of 0 complete with no content loaded in the list. This was happening intermittent before, but now it is happening everytime the app runs. I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling on two identical phones and it does not resolve the issue. I hope the developers can figure it out.
UPDATE: It seems to be related to the developers allowing the mining of personal info by requiring an account. This really saddens me. Such a great app before all the analytics and privacy violations were added. I guess it is back to recording it off the radio. The ethics of this app is not Christian... I hope TTB will educate themselves regarding technology, and not cave to the worlds deceptive online practices.
