| 2025-01-28 |  | | Awesome app! So so thankful for the app. Helping we stay focused on increasing my knowledge of God. Growing I my faith and my walk with Him. App is easy to navigate, reading plans are incredible, app is very intuitive. I am a slow reader so I listen and follow along with the reader, that way I am able to stay focused. Numerous versions of the Bible. The Bible Recap with Tara is awesome. Thank you! |
| 2025-01-28 |  | | I love the motive for the app and the ease of use with the layout. The only problem that I have are the glitches on android. I have an android and an iPad. Functionality on iPad is pretty reliable, but the Android not so much. It gets glitchy and starts bugging out when trying to accept a plan invitation.... and it shows multiple invitations for the same plan from the same person. There's also a glitch when trying to read comments on the talk it over within the plans. It won't let you scrol |
| 2025-01-28 |  | | I really enjoy this app. Two issues I have with it that are pretty big (to me, at least) are 1) when I am reading a passage of scripture with this app, then exit the app and shut it down, and then later go back & open it, it goes back to the top of the page, not back to the exact place where I was reading. It hasn't done that since before the summer 2023 UI overhaul app reno. And 2) why is it that nearly every time I update my profile photo, it just about always uploads sideways? It's annoying |
| 2025-01-27 |  | | It is a very difficult, confusing app. All my other apps come straight on. This app just circles. The narrator does not read when I press the read button. Going back to read missed chapters has technological glitches. Very user unfriendly. I took my computer to a tech wiz ...a friend... and his wife had the same problems I had. The friend was a computer expert in a well known company for years. I wouldn't have continued with this app except wanted something free and to do with friends |
| 2025-01-27 |  | | It's now terrible. This app was once great for reading the Bible and listening to an audio Bible. It now glitches all the time. The audio Bibles no longer hold its place. In fact, I can now just use YouTube for an audio Bible. When I change translations, it somehow will eventually open up as a translation I previously used. I really don't waste my time with this app anymore. |
| 2025-01-24 |  | | Consistently loses my place in my reading plan (won't check off my progress or removes the checks). Also forces restart when I move between apps and back to it. Will often switch chapters instead of playing audio (not touching wrong button, I've double checked many times) and makes me exit, close, and restart the app to start playing audio. |
| 2025-01-24 |  | | bomb with tons of versions and super easy to get a daily read in. Had to remove a star because they had updates that made the app pretty glitchy. I think they need a new app designer and a revamp on the back end. Edit: removed 2 more stars. App is getting worse and worse. It doesn't record my daily readings and I have to re listen to the same thing over again. To bad. It's a great app. Just doesn't work very well. At least it's free! |
| 2025-01-22 |  | | I have really enjoyed using this bible app! Thank you for making it available. I just wanted you say that I don't like the latest update. Often times when I'm searching new Bible texts, the app reverts to the last passage I was looking at, not moving to the next text. Another feature that was lost is the ability to go to the highlight color spectrum to customize a color for my highlights. I would love to see you bring these options back. Thank you for your consideration. |
| 2025-01-21 |  | | I have used and recommended this app for many years. I have loved this app until recently. Please fix it. I do plans with others often. I can't get into the plans. It says downloading when I get invited to do a new plan. The old plan won't go away when I finish. I have older plans that I tried to finish, and when I click on the missed date, it only shows the material from the last date. I wrote this review a year ago and still have the same issues with plans. Bible reading is fine. |
| 2025-01-20 |  | | We use this app daily and truly love it! You can choose from many devotionals and use whatever version of the Bible you want with the ones that offer scripture. No problems with app, very reliable. Use it to draw closer to the Lord or become a better parent, spouse, etc... SO many devotions to search through and find the one that fits your needs. Download and enjoy it today!!!! |
