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

New format is terrible. Totally unable to navigate the site, lost the use of parallel comparisons, unable to easily change translations…need I go on. I have used the website for years but absolutely hate what you did for use on a device.

Can you all Please change the app back. Sometimes simple is better and in this case it is !! The audio doesn’t work the same any more and the search is weird. If you change the version to AMP , you can’t listen to the audio Bible at the same time . When you scroll to a new chapter , the audio turns off . I hate the update and according to the comments a lot of other users do as well. Please change it Back !!!!!!!!!! Get your money back from who ever did the new design for you all

Decade-long user. Found pop ups on previous version getting in my way with time with God. Not so now. This update however is buggy! Lost history of daily Bible reading, lost previously kept notes, does not accurately advance current daily reading plan. God bless those that fix this app.
