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! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-02-18, version 4.3.2* Powerful Devine language at its best ! Shalom Chaverin ### 5/5 — Problem *2025-11-23* Love your app, I use it to memorize my school verses but lately I can’t it says problem connecting to servers is it just me or does it happen to other people. Thank you :) ### 4/5 — Please *2025-09-05* 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. **Developer response:** Shalom Penny, we just released version 4.2 which now allows you to use the Bible reader in landscape mode! We heard you! Blessings! ### 5/5 — Wonderful! *2025-08-17* Thank you! ### 4/5 — I wish *2025-07-28* The Bible is grate and I am glad to have a messianic biblical in audio being said that I really with the text will move along with the audio, please make changes. ### 2/5 — Wrong word *2025-04-29, version 4.2* Right off the bat In Genesis you use species… God used “kind” as species is not what God meant. Species is what man uses and is a different word …. Need to fix that ### 4/5 — שלום! *2025-03-15* I love this app. It is simple and easy to use, as well as having some very useful selections of videos and commentary. I do have one problem, though. So, for Purim, I wanted to watch the Parsha in 60 seconds Bonus round: Purim, but because I don’t have the funds to get a subscription, I couldn’t. I think it ought to be available during the holiday, even if it isn’t any other time. I definitely recommend this app otherwise as a go-to for reading GOD’s word. Blessings and prayers! May Elyon protect and guide you! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-03-06, version 4.2* You can’t ask for more in any app. ### 5/5 — Wonderful app and a life changing gift *2025-01-31* I really love the TLV it brought me so close to God that I can't even explain ## Frequently asked questions about TLV Bible ### What is the TLV Bible App?
