Great resources rendered useless with constant app crashing
fings wot r nice
Update August 2023 I haven’t been able to access this app for month as it crashes immediately. My subscription to the commentaries is wasted money. I even deleted the app and downloaded it again to ensure the latest version and it still crashes. Please Zondervan, could I get a refund on my subscription?…………………………………Overall, an excellent resource that mostly works well but with fine tuning could be even better. The breadth of resources is fantastic and I am able to delve much deeper into the meaning of the Bible with the comparison version functions plus all of the Bible dictionaries and guides. I would love a version to be available that is in English but with the original Greek or Hebrew words in brackets so that when I go to the resources I know which original language word to search for and find the intended meaning. I have searched every English version and cannot find what I’m looking for. When I am reading a passage of the Bible, click on it and then go into the resources section to look at the dictionary of Bible themes, I can’t access the other links listed down the bottom of the listing. They are like dead links, promising much but not delivering. Also, when I go into the resources section of the app and access the dictionary of Bible themes, there is no search function or A-Z quick list so that I may efficiently search for what I am looking for. I have to scroll through many times to find what I’m looking for and do not want to get RSI from this. This is a problem not just with the dictionary of Bible themes but with other resources.
Was great, now not so much.

This was a amazing app, then the update happened and now, I can not control the volume of skip back and forth while listening with headphones on and the worst part is, I had started listening to the Bible from the start and it just read book after book, chapter after chapter after chapter. I had made it all the way to Easter, just continued listening. Now when it gets the end of a book it starts the book over again, so I have to physically change to the next book. I listen while I’m at the gym, so having to go back and forth to my phone is really annoying.
Lately shuts down for adds

Lately the app suddenly shuts down a lot!!!! for an add to come on while you are reading the Bible. It’s really disruptive and you have to then go back in and find the scriptures you were reading again. I can’t use the app in church for that reason as you think you found your scripture and then everything shuts down in front of your eyes. It never used to do this. It really spoils your reading experience and wastes a lot of time. This used to be the best Bible app and still is as far as comprehensive features go, but the problem with the app shutting down is so significant that I may have to delete it. Also, sometimes when you scroll to find your scripture it isn’t there and looks like the book ends earlier. Please fix this
Updated version of app is glitchy!

I used to love this app, but since the update, adds pop up in the middle of readings which is very frustrating. Listening to audio of George W Sarris is one of my favourite ways to absorb the Bible, but the audio Bible option shuts itself down now or has errors when trying to change from one book of the Bible to the next, and sometimes just won’t work at all. The app no longer remembers where you were last reading/listening from and the reader settings keep resetting on their own. I end up closing the whole app down, only for it to repeat the same issues later on reopening. Please fix the bugs and give us a new update. In its current state, I wouldn’t recommend this app anymore.
