Software Reviews and Criticism

  Excellent App!!!

  Thank you for the different speed levels for listening. So helpful for my old Brain! I can savor, meditated, comprehend so much better each verse with the slower speed. I love the background sound effects, the different voices, the study notes, definitions and helps. Love this App of the New King James. I play it in the night with earphones when I can’t sleep or if my Husband is gone then I just turn it on and listen through the phone speaker and fill the room with the Word of God. Devil hates it and puts me quickly to sleep every-time! I play it while getting dressed in the morning, while cooking and cleaning in the kitchen or cleaning the house - I connect my phone with the big portable music speaker we have or sometimes just carry in my pocket with it playing . I put it in my pocket and listen to the word of God when walking with it playing out loud or earphones. What a major blessing to my life - saturating my mind with scripture. So much better than listening to the news or the today show or anything else! Nothing gives you joy and healing as the Word of God!

  My favorite!

  This Bible app is in my opinion the best one I’ve used. I’ve downloaded a bunch that I’ve ended up deleting and the only two left are Logos and this one. I really prefer this one to Logos because the UI is very simple and intuitive. I only keep Logos for the vast amount of resources. Taking notes is easy, highlighting is easy, finding the books, chapters, and verses is easy. The audio is nice and is why I originally downloaded the app but I find the actual usage far superior to other Bible apps. So I give it 5 stars. I do want more from this app though. It would be great if I had the ability to listen to the English audio while reading the Spanish text. Also I would like to have the ability to turn on or off the sound effects and music in the audio reading. I really appreciate that John was free. Had it not been I probably would not be enjoying the rest.

  Love this audio Bible!

  Downloaded this recently and I listen to it as I clean my house, just listen for pleasure, do my Bible studies and listened as I fell asleep last night. I enjoy the different actor’s voices as they read the Bible and the music/sound effects enhance the text rather than distract imo; however it is a good idea to listen to the free download of John before buying because some reviewers found the music/sound effects did bother them. Besides the superb audio readings the app has many study tools similar to those on my Olive Tree Bible Study app. I purchased this app (both OT and NT) just for the audio, but the other features make it a great value for the money. Many thanks to the people who developed this audio app of God’s Word......it is truly a blessing to me.

  Needs Speed Control

  By far, this is my favorite dramatized audio Bible in any version. The reading is excellent and the audio effects are film quality. I’ve read along with the Audible audio for years. But I wish this app had a speed control. The downside of dramatized versions is that they usually read slower than you would read yourself. So I always read along with the text in front of me and the audio on faster speeds. As soon as this app adds a speed control, I’ll gladly pay for the full version (and raise my rating). To my knowledge, this is one of very few Bible apps with audio that DOES NOT have a speed control. [Developers, please see the YouVersion app to see how they do the speed control.]

  Awesome - Life Changing

  I’m a pastor and I’ve always loved the Word of Promise rendition of the New King James Version. The different voices, sound effects, background music, and overall quality has found a home in my heart. Now having this resource at my fingertips - being able to start at any chapter or verse in the Bible with such ease is epic. Working my way through a text, with the audio reinforcement has become a tool God is using to let His Word sink deeper into my heart. So far, I haven’t had any problems with the app. As far as I’m concerned, it’s worth the price and then some.
