Ratings and Reviews
A way to go
I’m enjoying this app and found it good value, but other people are correct when they say it’s not very intuitive.
Also, when I’m listening to the Bible at night, I like to have the app on a timer. Next morning however, the Bible is ready to pick up at where I started it, rather than however many minutes I set it to finish at. That’s a pain!
Great audio, but terrible app design
David Suchet's reading is fantastic, just enough emphasis and expression to engage and bring the text to life, but avoiding the distracting over dramatisation of some audio versions.
However, it is such a shame that more care wasn't taken over developing the user interface. It is glitchy, and far from intuitive to use.
The feature to highlight text as it is read simply doesn't work. It is jumping all over the place. I don't understand how Apple allow apps on their store that promise features that don't work. In the real world you could take a physical purchase back to the shop for a refund if it didn't work as intended, but I suspect it is not that easy in the virtual world once they have your money.
There is another feature in the audio section that displays 3 starting points for readings. They seem to act like bookmarks, but there is no obvious way to set them. If you touch or hold them them just play from that point.
Swiping the pages from left or right is also glitchy. It's like the interface is fighting with you. It only works if you get right onto one edge of the screen and swipe fully across to the other edge.
Overall, I'm very disappointed that such great content has been packaged in such a poorly thought out way. I hope they take the time and money to start from scratch and completely rethink the UI.
Rubbish
Why have they changed their (well Everything) When David is talking now the pages don’t move anymore so you have no idea where David is reading from It takes ages to find where he’s reading from I’m very upset and I want the old one back And normally you can see the bibles word highlighted well not on this one it is highlighted but very faintly and if you’re a poor eyesight sufferer you won’t see this highlighted this is terrible app now and altogether to technical for people who are not familiar with how to use a computer Aimee Media please change the app back to what is was before Or your going to loose a lot of people who would normally find this a great comfort in their life and sometimes you’ll find that this is the only comfort that they have in their lives But now it’s unusable for them they are lost
Thanks for listening and correcting the issue with previous issues it’s much appreciated
However if The Developers Could Fix This Problem Then It Would Be Perfect
As the text is read by David Suchet the words do move along with his voice now
Fantastic!!!!
But it Stays on The Same Page So if You Put Your device Down and Then Come Back To Read It Again It’s Still On The Same Page Extremely Extremely Frustrating
I Need This To Work Properly Because I Can’t Always Use My Arms
