User Reviews

Reviews highlight readability and study aids (highlights, notes, bookmarks), the last-location reading feature, and built-in listening with daily verses. While the app is free, ads are a common complaint, with many wanting an easy, one-time payment to remove them. The TTS is valued but can feel fast and robotic, and users want a slower or more natural voice.

Pros

Very readable and user-friendly Basic English translation; easy to understand.
Notes, highlights, and bookmarks support for Bible study.
Opens at the last reading position, so you don’t start over.
Text-to-speech reads aloud (great for listening).
Free to use with daily verses and a built-in reading plan to track progress.

Cons

Ads are intrusive; the app is ad-supported.
Users want an option to remove ads via a one-time payment.
Text-to-speech voice quality can be fast and robotic; slower/more natural voice desired.
