Like the app alot. Fairly easy to navigate the menu to find the different books . Can not stand to voice or the audio nor the cadence of her reading. Can not change the voice -no place to do that and tried to adjust the cadence so I can understand the reading. No inflection in her voice so the readings sound like run-on sentences. Looking for a new app with better audio voice and cadence.

It's not for me. It's easy to read, but I feel like I get more from other Bibles. I feel like I'm missing some of the meaning in some of the texts. I don't like the robotic sounding voice. I DO like the highlighting capabilities. I like how when you search, it briefly highlights the scripture. I like how the index is old testament in black and new testament in red. I don't even mind the little add banner for another bible app at the bottom.

This is an exceptional easy to read. I use the CEV edition (Contemporary English Version). I can really understand what is being said in this Rendition. I've only used 1 study guide and it is easy to follow and easy to go pass the lesson for the day. The only problem I have, and it's not major, it is not in Microsoft Store. If the people that developed this version of the bible could make a version that is compatible with Microsoft it would be awesome and I believe it would be very popular.
