  1. ★★★★niv translation is easy to read and understand

    Hate the NIV. see above

  2. ★★★★no audio, ads and popups

    No “listen” option. Although the website states that they offer “listen on the go” there is no option offered on the actual app. Very disappointed.

  3. ★★★★confusing navigation and cluttered interface

    Where to find how to use notes? Etc. Too difficult vs other apps

  4. ★★★★no audio, ads and popups

    You can’t text. You can’t text for help on the app . Other bible apps you can text WITHOUT going on the internet.But other then that I’m a strong christen and don’t like how they word things in the Bible they have and there are adds as your reading the Bible so I think you should change that!😡😡😡😡😤thank you!

  5. ★★★★paying for gods word and subscription trap

    Charging for Gods word. Charges for Gods word!!!

  6. ★★★★update bugs and cut off top line

    Gender Neutral Bible?. For whatever reason they’ve taken all of the male references and made them gender neutral. It’s crazy that the leaders of this company thought that was OK. Kind of sad really.

  7. ★★★★niv translation is easy to read and understand

    Not as good as my old app. I had an NIV app on my old phone . Had to upload a new one from my new phone ! This app is terrible . I am sad I used the old one all the time

  8. ★★★★update bugs and cut off top line

    Missing verses. Why is Matthew 17:21 not in here? Wrong of you to take out important verses ESPECIALLY ones SPOKEN BY JESUS.

  9. ★★★★no audio, ads and popups

    We are Christian. There is no reason I should get notified from this app earlier than 7 am, telling me to learn about Jewish anything. I am a Christian. Stop trying to force Christian’s to be Jewish if it happens again I’m deleting this app.

  10. ★★★★update bugs and cut off top line

    Bad changes. I have been using your NIV app for several years now to prepare sermons and Bible studies. It has been very good. Now you have jumped on the AI bandwagon and the simple search function is no longer working properly as it did before. You are now requiring me to sign up and give you my contact information in order to get the answer to my search. Forget it. If you do not restore the basic search funtion, I am going to look for a different app. Your app was not broken. So why did you try to “fix”it?

  11. ★★★★confusing navigation and cluttered interface

    Changed layout. Negative I do not care for the layout in the screen. The tabs are very distracting.

  12. ★★★★confusing navigation and cluttered interface

    Hard to figure out how to navigate. It is hard to navigate. It doesn’t explain the passages like it says it does. If all you want to do is read the Bible, then it’s ok.

  13. ★★★★confusing navigation and cluttered interface

    Too much. I am looking for an app like “Study Bible”, but with the 1984 NIV. This Bible is unfortunately not the 1984 version, and I’m not sure if they have that one (so many versions, but no way to search well). The app has too many things going on, does not feel like having a Bible on my phone, and I could not figure out how to start the audio to read the verses out loud.

  14. ★★★★update bugs and cut off top line

    Logging in issues. I continue having issues logging in. I receive errors when logging in.

  15. ★★★★confusing navigation and cluttered interface

    Understand. Very confusing I just wanted an app that had NIV Bible scriptures and Books of Scripture.

  16. ★★★★update bugs and cut off top line

    I - Pad. Everything has just disappeared. I need my NIV bible, I need ability to watch sports and news. I’m retired and therefore unemployed. I can”t afford to buy any of your promotions.

  17. ★★★★paying for gods word and subscription trap

    This is not a free Bible.. You get a free 2 week use of their Bible app. Then are charged on a monthly basis. I’m retired and just wanted a large font to read. I searched the app info and saw there were in-app purchasing of extra study materials but I didn’t see where they state in black and white that there is a 14 day free trial that then goes to monthly charges to your credit card. Beware!

  18. ★★★★no audio, ads and popups

    this app is a scam!. They claim to have audio Bible… they did not. Shortly after downloading the app I was charged multiple times to my card. I’m having to take a fraud claim out against this app.

  19. ★★★★paying for gods word and subscription trap

    Not free. You said it was free, you lied

  20. ★★★★update bugs and cut off top line

    NIV switched to The Message translation. All of a sudden my NIV translation is now The Message translation. Not what I want! Have no idea how it switched.

  21. ★★★★paying for gods word and subscription trap

    Not free. This app requires account.

  22. ★★★★other

    Está vien. Traducir en espańol,estaría mejor

  23. ★★★★confusing navigation and cluttered interface

    I want to start the Bible off with Genesis. It’s hard to manipulate the information.. The app needs improvement. I’ve tried to make sure that the scriptures doesn’t default to John. I like starting my Bible chapters with Genesis the old testament.

  24. ★★★★paying for gods word and subscription trap

    NIV/All Bibles!. You charge to spread God’s word in times like these? It’s cheaper to just buy a Bible, for reference, rather than pay monthly to use it!

  25. ★★★★no audio, ads and popups

    Not worth it. I have multiple Bible apps was trying this thinking it may be something better, wasn’t anything that I expected, no audio and all extras required payments for something that may not be worth it, as usual the developers have taken GODs word and monetized it??? Shameful

  26. ★★★★update bugs and cut off top line

    Streak counter consistently messes up. I’ve been using the Bible app for about 1,000 days and it consistently loses track of my streak. Following the instructions within the app doesn’t result in corrections. I love the app but dislike the streak counter and it’s nearly impossible to get help.

  27. ★★★★no audio, ads and popups

    No audio. I couldn't get audio on this app

  28. ★★★★paying for gods word and subscription trap

    Leave App. Decided this app did not meet my needs. Please end subscriptions

  29. ★★★★confusing navigation and cluttered interface

    Too difficult. Too difficult to navigate and constantly trying to get one to buy

  30. ★★★★confusing navigation and cluttered interface

    Navigate. Very difficult to navigate. Just want the Bible AP to read the Bible
