Dwell: Audio Bible 4+

What a life-changing, life-giving app.

I’ve had Dwell for a few years now - and bought the lifetime licence (in itself a great deal and incredible option to have though it rightfully costs more upfront). I remember thinking, I’d invest no matter how good the app actually is, so I could support the team developing it because it was a wonderful idea: no commentary/interpretation, not sermon-style content, just the straight Word of God being played. A few years later and what’s in the app now is sheer proof of a strong development timeline and a great team - so many reading voices and versions of the Bible to choose from; curated reading collections; sleep time playlists; playlists for pretty much everything, with relevant scripture; the ability to read in-app what you hear if you want to refer back yourself, etc. - this is just a snapshot of what app allows you to do. I’ve been going through some tough times recently including a series of traumatic events taking time to heal - and you all don’t understand how much this app has helped me. In times where I haven’t been able to pick the Bible up to read it myself, to be able to have the Bible so beautifully read to me; have scriptures picked so accurately for my situation… Thank God for Dwell and the team behind it.

Thank you so much for your review - and for being a Lifetime subscriber.

Your words are such an encouragement to our team. Grateful God's word has been such a help to you - and that He's using Dwell in such a meaningful way in your life. We are humbled.

Hands down the best audio Bible!

If you’re looking for an awesome audio Bible, which also has the digital Bible fully integrated, then look no further!

Dwell offers their own plans and playlists, and you can make your own playlists also. The repeat function can be for one verse, whole chapters or playlists! That feature is awesome.

You can read the scripture as you listen, which is great for really taking it in, or for those ‘what?!’ moments, when you have to go back and read it again!

You can access the digital Bible with a swipe of the finger, and I often use that to read all the scriptures in the audio playlists as one text. That to me is very handy for reflection!

There’s no chapters/book names announced as you listen, so you can listen seamlessly through all the books. The ability to speed up, or slow down each narrators voice has been so handy! There’s a variety of background music, and you can equalize all the sound elements to suit your preference.

There’s also a sleep timer, which is fabulous to get in a bit of the word before sleep.

All in all, this is an amazing resource and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to anyone who regularly uses an audio Bible or would like to. Download the app and use the free features first, and you’ll soon see that you need this app on your devices!!

God bless you. :)

Wow! I'm speechless. This is such a thorough review. Thank you for taking the time to explain in detail how you use the app and why you love it! It means so much to us, truly. Grateful to read how God is using this app in your life!

Absolute Wow!

I’m impressed with this app so far.
I like the voices. I love the pace. I always found other narrated bibles too quick. I’m the kind of reader who isn’t in a rush as I read. I like to be at a pace to really think it over as I go. I also really like the music options, and all the various plans and arrangements to listen through. I’ve listened to audio Bibles my whole life, and this is a fresh approach to it.

One thing would be neat, if I could download everything, rather than stream.
I don’t have a lot of data, and I have no home internet. If I were able to download, it’d make it better. $43-ish for a year in Australia is fine with me, and I expect it will bring continued support and updates for this superb app. I will be listening to this as much as I can! Dependant on my data allowance that is. Good job Dwell App!
