User Reviews

Top pros: daily readings with highlighting and verse history; faithful alignment to the printed Bible; easy access to daily readings and Gospel; strong cross-referencing and footnotes; navigation improvements in newer revisions. Top cons: content is outdated (missing 2021 readings); no dark mode; persistent navigation/index issues after iOS updates; translation is not the New American Revised Edition used by the Divine Office; several features are missing or broken (Bible-in-a-year, Sunday readings, bookmarking/sharing, audio). Overall, solid features hampered by maintenance gaps.

Pretty dated, and there’s somehow no dark mode to read at night. Meanwhile there’s a much easier way—go get the book for $4.99 on your Books app. Far better interface.

Love the app! But need display option for iphone/ipad dark mode at night. Black background. Grey is too bright. Please.

Hello, I don’t see Hosea 14:8 as how it is in the Bible, why it is missing?
