Ratings and reviews

Great interface, needs plan customization. The number is versions and plans available provide a lot of options, which can be good. However, the plans seem to be getting shorter and more topical, feeding into and reinforcing short attention spans. At this point, what would be cool to see is not more plans but a way to create a personalized reading schedule. The audio bibles are a great tool, but there is no good way to jump between passages in other books if you aren't on a provided plan.

I got this app solely for reading the audio "cover-to-cover". I'd had another Bible app but it did not have the ability to bookmark (a non-negotiable). I was pleased to discover the read-along feature where the text scrolls with the audio (big points IMO). The voice acting quality is quite acceptable. Has pauses before big names as if making sure of pronunciation (which may be for the benefit of the read-along), has inflection and emphasis lacking in other audio Bibles, and is generally pleasing

I love the daily reminders and the multiple colors for highlighting. The notes and prayers sections are nice, but a reminder back to a note/prayer sounds innovative. The options for translations are very expansive. The "dramatized" audible Bible is my favorite. Speaking of which, I would love to see a custom timer implemented for the audio options.
