I have tried signing up for an account and also a yearly subscription, but the app won't allow me to scroll down to submit my name, email address, and password. I have tried multiple times and it won't work with my Android phone, not even for your free trial. It's disappointing. I hope this glitch could be resolved so more people could access all the wonderful resources here. I will be uninstalling the app and have chosen another ESV Bible that also has an audio Bible, which works best for me.

Excellent bible app, with a great study bible (subscription required to access the study bible). I often use both my Sproul Reformed Study Bible along with the digital one provided through this app for cross-referencing scripture, but together, or separate, they are extremely helpful. Admittedly, I have yet to use the devotionals, but plan to soon. I highly recommend the Crossway ESV bible app.
