Charged Twice for the same Item

I bought this version for my IPad but downloaded it for my iphone as well which is the same account as for my ipad . I am concerned that I have been charged for the second time for the same item. Can I please be refunded .

Scourby is essential!

I’m giving this app 5 stars purely because having the Scourby recordings of him reading the KJV is absolute essential, not because of the mediocre app, or criminal extras after paying nearly £20 for the app.

Firstly, you will not find a better audio Bible than that of Scourby, he is without a doubt the voice of the AV. And with these Higher quality audio files, one can enjoy listening to the AV anytime any where, and it’s a joy to have with just a few clicks away on your iPhone. I cannot speak higher of these recordings.

The app it’s self is not great, and tbh should probably be redesigned for ease of use, there are plenty of free Bible app out there that tower over this one. It also feels extremely dated.

Also, paying almost £20 for the app itself can be forgiven since the Scourby recordings are indispensable, but then having recurring extras is absolutely criminal. I mean the 3 separate reading plans you charge for are one Google click away, so not exclusive enough to warrant the charge. And then charging for simple functions like loop, speed and even back up and restore. Surely £20 for the app itself you should include these basic functions. It’s nothing more than greed.

But I can ignore the faults and cons because this audio Bible is above and beyond, and to have it on my iPhone in a few clicks is fantastic, and I encourage anyone to start using the Scourby recordings, he truly was the voice of the Bible.

More money

I bought this app more than 5 years ago and I do love listening to how Scourby reads the Bible. It’s fantastic for that. I think the app is reasonably well made even though much hasn’t changed in that time apart from more demands for money.

That’s the reason I’m giving it a single star. When I paid for it I could create my own playlists and listen to them. Now I’m being asked to pay £5.99 EVERY YEAR just to listen to the same playlists!! The Bible is not changing so this move to subscription for something so trivial is ill-advised in my opinion. If the app was free then I’d understand. But it’s not. What am did I pay for if I can’t use simple basic functions like this?

Conclusion, it’s a good app but not worth what is being asked for it at the moment.
