The Bible - Verse & Prayer
doubtful ratingAs a first digital step into the Bible people like it: a handy format, a verse of the day, help reading on the road and feeling calmer. But the app aggressively sells a pricey subscription despite promising to be free, drops an ad after every page turn, and the navigation buttons overlap the text. Some people are upset that God's word is being charged for at all and leave for other apps.
Text average 4.14 is noticeably below the store 4.84, 75 percent five stars, and the sample is only 176 reviews against 39 thousand ratings. The warm fives are very short and generic (love it, enjoying the Bible), while the substantive reviews are mostly ad and price complaints, hinting at an inflated store score.
