I've been listening to BIOY for several years on my phone. I love this app. The commentaries are excellent the narrator takes the scripture verses to another level making me feel apart of the scenery. The new updated app I am not a fan. I've experienced multiple glitches. I'm connected to Bluetooth, I have Wi-Fi and the audio just cuts off. The timer is still going but I cannot hear anything. I've rebooted my phone but it keeps happening. The most recent, is the past 4 days your app is blank...aahh! I am able to listen on my laptop but that's not always convenient. Your app is my companion on my phone when I'm commuting. Please address!!

No audio, this is an issue! A major one! I enjoy this getting ready in the morning, I have the passages in my mind from the audio and then look them later up in the day and read over them. Without the audio you lose half the power of this app and I'd just as soon get another from the app store. Your inflection in reading is powerful and without it some of the points you're trying to make are greatly missed. I had last year's app and can definitely tell a difference in the impact. It needs audio!

*Thank you* for this app. Updated features are acceptable for tracking progress. I do not track progress by section. I prefer the recording in a banner below the text. Smarter, cleaner navigation overall. Fast forward takes you to the next section quickly enough if you leave and come back. I tell people to use this app ☺️. I do miss is being able to copy and paste into my journal from the app. I like the new Pippa Adds introduction. I like how it sounds. It's a small change but a good one.
