Ratings and reviews

I've had this app for a while and really loved the multiple versions and how easy it was to use. Recently whenever I open the Bible section to read a big full screen ad plays that I can't skip. This is very distracting and frustrating when I am trying to have a quiet reading time or use it in church. If these ads were gotten rid of though it would be five stars because I really enjoy everything else about the app.

I like especially that I can play audio Bible while using other apps. I can listen while I go about my day. It is better than radio. On computer through the internet I could compare side by side translations. The app does not give that option. Anymore, It takes a long time to load or it will not load at all. I just updated it 2 days ago and had to go through Google playstore to get it to open this morning. I could not get it to open last night.

I have really enjoyed using this app up until recently when they added advertisements. They are very LOUD and when I am trying to follow along (especially in church service) and the ads like this pop up it is so disruptive that I end up closing out of the app. The ads also last a very long time and provide fake 'x' buttons that actually take you to the advertisers sites instead of closing out the window. I'm pretty disappointed with the experience after so many years of enjoying the app.
