Shalom

Our subscription ends tomorrow. Sadly, due to budget constraints, unable to renew, for now. Most grateful for our year with you, and if Hashem wills, we will be able to renew again, soon. Thank you for all you put into this lovely app! If I could suggest one thing, is captions for the videos, as I am hearing impaired, and don’t wish to miss anything!

Please

I love this Bible app and plan on ordering the large print Tr we of Life Bible in September. My frustration is that the app can not be used in landscape on a tablet. Could this please be fixed. Thank you.

Update: I love reading my TLV Bible and recently my son purchased the app for me for a year. I still do not find the app able to be in landscape mode on my tablet, which is how I prefer to use it. Upright is uncomfortable. There is no app update to fix this issue. Please help.
