Ratings and reviews

This app doesn't have great social features, but it DOES have lots of translations, reading plans, video devotionals, and more! Not to mention a satisfying system for highlighting, bookmarking, and note-taking! I've been using this app for five years, and I've never felt the need to look for an alternative! It feels so much better than marking up my physical Bible, and it's so easy to cross reference translations or search for topics or keywords. There's truly something for everyone!

I love this app, but it does have some issues. I read and watch the daily refresh regularly. I'm in several groups that use the study plans for weekly discussion. The feature list is impressive and even overwhelming for some users. However, sometimes invitees don't show up in the participant list, leading them to add the same plan several times. I've also taken notes during sermons, only to have them not be saved and lost forever. :(

When you're reading a plan there is an option in the settings to have it remind you at a set time every day. Mine has been set to 6am for years, but it has never worked properly. It either reminds you at some arbitrary time, or not at all. Today it should have gone off 22 minutes ago but hasn't. Resetting the time option, logging out of the app, reinstalling the app... nothing fixes this. It's really my only complaint, I love being able to listen & read
