2024-06-15	Pe*****	I tried Ocean 2.0 when it first came out and had trouble copying text. Obviously, there have been some changes and that functionality is available and easy. I like that it gives me access to many of the Holy Writings from many religions. I think it is very useful and I recommend it.

2023-12-22	Ar*****	This is a great app to read and have someone read to you. Still giving it five stars because it's great but it needs to get better. I can't define some words and it's a great function but it's not so reliable yet. I'm happy that John showed me this but I need the app to be more dependable for me to use it to learn. I still need to have a dictionary with me to look stuff up.

2023-07-26	Ge*****	Just the other day, I updated the app, to ensure that I have the most recent updates for a more enhanced experience. Since the update, however, I have noticed that am unable to have a seemless flow from passage to passage with the in-built audiobook. Do kindly advise. Apart from that. Am blessed to have access to the sacred writings and scriptures. Looking forward to have access to more.

2022-12-15	Gi*****	Sometimes it says offline, sometimes the books get deleted, and this app crashes as always. Maybe an app bug?

2022-09-05	Da*****	Long-time user of the desktop version, the many glitches w the app perplex me. Just now I was searching Ocean 2.0 for Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh and could not locate the title. Any ideas why this book was not listed or available in the library?

2022-07-02	Je*****	I am a long-time fan of Ocean. The app has the feature to listen to books, which is very cool for taking walks. The one complaint I have for this is that it loads very slowly on startup and doesn't move smoothly and efficiently from one screen to the next. The interface (UI) took me a little bit to decipher as well. It should be easier to return to the spot where you stopped reading or listening. Not that it's hard now. Just a little hiccupy. I increased the rating from four to five stars.

2021-03-17	Ha*****	I have been looking for opportunity like this and God directed me here. Whoever made this application may God continue to inspire them and bless their affairs. Now I have no excuses to read the Divine books I have been wishing to read. My reading skills will also develop.

2021-03-04	Ta*****	Can we bring back Ocean 1.0? This version is difficult to share text from. It is difficult to copy text from. Searching is difficult. And the more common versions of the Qur'an such as Yusef Ali aren't there, apparently only English scholar versions. I stopped using this shortly after installing. On my desktop, I pulled up an old download and installed. Ocean was my go to. Can we fix it?
