“Recent user voice shows a mixed sentiment. Users appreciate audio quality and dramatization and value for money, but report app stability and launch issues and playback and navigation bugs.”
What Users Love
The dramatized audio is amazing and makes it very easy to follow.
Excellent reading/audio quality, and no translation beats the New King James Version.
This Bible app is exactly what I was looking for — dramatized NKJV with text and audio at an affordable price, under $5!
Big, Beautiful Bang for your 5 bucks!!
Pain Points
When I attempt to open this application I can only see a white screen: nothing else.
App won’t even open. No option for a refund.
If you stop for more than a few hours, it randomly picks a spot that it claims you left off at.
Regardless of any book NONE of the chapters are in sequential order.
‘Contact Us’ does not function.
No refund, no response regarding the app at all.
