NIV Bible The Holy Version
doubtful ratingPeople come simply to read the Bible and hear it read aloud, but the app is packed with ads to the point of being unusable: a banner on every reading, pop-up games covering the verses right during a service, even inappropriate images of half-dressed women in a Bible app. On top of that it breaks: the table of contents is unfinished, the quiz does not work, the reading plan stops opening, and the narration is very poor. It genuinely gets in the way of reading.
Text average 2.73 against a store 4.75 and only 31 percent five stars is a huge gap. Some fives clearly do not match their text (one gives 5 stars while writing they rate it 1 star for being slow), suggesting careless or insincere high ratings alongside a wall of concrete ad complaints.
