Ratings and reviews

Great app but I wish the volume was more consistent between the narrative, the intro / outro, and the scripture reading. In most of the sessions, the narrator is much quieter then the intro and outro. The voice of the woman who reads the intro and outro is a bit shrill, so the increased volume is shocking if you have reached a meditative state. It has not stopped me from listening to the app but I have started skipping the intro and outro but it's a pain.

I enjoy the app and find it nice to not only be able to listen to the Word being read, but a short explanation/teaching on it as well. However, I would change it so the passage is read first and the teaching second. Besides being slightly confused when I started using the app while trying to figure out how to just hear the passage, it is good to start with the verses (for several reasons) before the teaching on them. Thank you you for responding. I didn't know that I could change the set order.

Look forward to doing this every day. UPDATE: Been using over five years and still growing strong! One suggestion - Melanie is a fantastic "narrator" (Librivox style), but I prefer the "teaching" styles of the other commentators I've been listening to. I like more researched background, history, and correct application of the Scriptures I listen to. Thanks for all your good, hard work!
