Ratings and reviews

Have used for many years. Used to be great. Now, after multiple changes and updates, it's so slow at loading (eg when trying to find a plan) that it's almost unusable. Also, not being able to turn off the daily reading counter in the top right isn't helpful. Feels more like being shamed when you miss a day and it resets to zero, rather than a positive challenge.

I love it.especially the ability to highlight and compare verses in different versions and save verses as images.kids love the kids experience.would be better if you could go back to the daily stories. Its a great way to have quick access to the bible at any time. Since the latest update you cannot listen to a whole chapter anymore which is very frustrating as I like to listen whilst doing tasks. It means I have to stop and read whatever was missed.

Hi, I have used the app for years now and am very grateful for the developers offering it for free, however, the recent update is, in my opinion, a real step backwards. Rather than making the app better, it has become more confusing and harder to use. In the old version, The bibles you use regularly always stay at the top. Now, you have keep scrolling down through the whole list of translations each time, which is annoying, especially if you are comparing two translations. Please change it back!
