User Reviews

Overall sentiment is mixed-to-negative. Users praise the app’s rich study resources and continued usefulness for on-the-go Bible study, plus a friendlier interface and faster playback options. However, widespread issues with audio, intrusive ads, and a major drop in navigation/search usability, along with performance lag and a steep price increase, dominate the feedback. Many are seeking alternatives or hoping for a revert toward earlier functionality.

Pros

Rich study aids including commentaries, maps, and deep-dive resources
Easy on-the-go access across devices (phone and laptop) for Bible study
Positive UI improvements and new playback features (friendly interface, 1.25x speed)

Cons

Audio playback bugs (nonresponsive controls, loops, and sleep/timer functions not working)
Intrusive ads and frequent ad interruptions
Major navigation and search regressions (hard to navigate, missing search filters, searches/daily verses harder to find)
Laggy performance and occasional crashes/freezes (jankiness during navigation)
Price increase and perceived poor value (annual cost up to $70)

Recent reviews

This app used to function well. The new design is not user friendly. I’m not able to get information from the commentaries even though I have ‘plus’. The layout is cumbersome.
