Why is it that the Ethiopian Canon can not be opened in this app? I specifically downloaded this app to be able to read the Ethiopian Bible in its entirety. Unfortunately, I can not for some reason. This is not a good look for this app as it will push readers of the word of God away, and make them feel like they are only getting part of his word and not all of what he wants us to know and learn.
Too many ads and popups

I was hoping to check out the Ethiopian Bible as I’ve heard it’s more complete original one. One that has not been edited by the Roman Catholic Church. One that is also been favorably mentioned buy Martin Luther himself. However, this app is not complete and seems to be a great way for you to get malware and apps you don’t want. There are banner ads everywhere. When you click on the Ethiopian Canon, it tells you that it cannot be read because your PDF reading app needs updating. Then takes you to an unknown app other than Adobe reader which is the most reputable one. Definitely would not recommend.
Thanks for the translation, but…

Been looking for the Ethiopian Bible in an app form, but I was hoping for the ENTIRE book. They have the additional books we all want in the main menu, but when you select one of the “additional” books, there is no content. Why is the content removed for the additional books, such as Enoch, Jasher, Wisdom of Solomon, and so on?
Disappointed

Before the app updated, I had all 81 books now it’s just 66. Not sure why this change occurred. Enjoyed it the way it was. Hopefully you consider going back to how it was previously… i will no longer use this app.
New:
- The reader's navigation is simpler - "Jump to Verse," "Table of Contents," and "Select Chapter" are now one easy "Go to Chapter" screen.
- Parallel-view toggle is now a single tap in the reader, no more digging through menus.
Fixed:
- Reading progress on Old and New Testament books now updates right away as you read, instead of only after restarting the app.
- A bug where reading an Ethiopian Canon book in a different language could accidentally change your app's language everywhere.
- A few settings labels that weren't displaying correctly.
And Various performance and stability improvements.
