Ratings and reviews

I am updating this review and the rating is lower. I cancelled my subscription, however my renewal date is not until August of this year. Even though I have paid the subscription through August. Access to the subscription resources are currently denied. I wrote customer service regarding this issue over a month ago, no response. I do not understand how I lose access to resources I paid to use! And the subscription has not expired! I do not recommend this app.

there's a saying: don't fix what isn't broke. Whoever decided this update, needs to reconsider their priorities. I always listen to my bible when I read it, and I can't do that seemlessly now because it stops playing after one chapter and its so frustrating. I have to go into my phone and click the audio button then press play for the next chapter to play, it won't keep playing each chapter one after the other anymore. And I can't pause the audio with my Bluetooth ear piece. Unacceptable.

I don't really like how it's changed, took some getting used to, but as far as what i absolutely don't like - too many clicks to get out of 1 ad, and most importantly - the audio only reads 1 chapter and stops... what is that? And it's not just easy to go to the next chapter to make it start again, but I'd rather it just... keep playing. And switching between translations takes me back to the first verse in chapter, not the verse I'm on even tho I have it highlighted. Hopefully this helps.
