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 is my favorite Bible app to use, but it’s still frustrating that it doesn’t keep your place with the audio Bible option. It had been doing better, then an update changed that again. When I open it, it goes back to where I started the day before. I keep track by using a sticky note app on my phone, which works fine.
