Ratings and reviews

I just downloaded the the app and thus far all looks well except the timer which the previous app had is missing in the app. The timer was a unique feature which is very hand for those who want to drop a sleep with the Bible.

A Nice interface am still yet to explore the App, I tried downloading some books it's requesting I switch to wifi or change settings to download through Cellular, but I Check there is no settings for to switch.

This is the Faith Comes By Hearing new audio Bible app which replaces their Bible.is app. It runs fast and flawlessly.
