Ratings and reviews

This was a really great app, but I'm not a fan of the recent overhaul. Looks more sterile, and less intuitive. There appear to be fewer translations available. And when comparing the same verses in different translations, it always kicks back to the first verse in a chapter instead of remembering the selected verse like it used to. Change should be for the better, not just for the sake of change. It's disappointing that a Bible app would fall prey to this thinking.

What happened to the app? I can't get my notes that I've been writing for years. The audio Bible won't play to the next chapter. sometimes it does; only a few. Sometimes I have to log out & back in. I never got so frustrated trying to read the Word of God. I do like the timer but haven't seen it at work since it stops at the end of every chapter. I hope this helps ur IT person.

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.
