Ratings and Reviews
Wonderful tool for discipleship
There are so many positive things I could say about Dwell but a top three would be the following: First, Dwell is an app that has something to offer everyone. Whether you are just beginning a rhythm of regular Bible reading or are a lifelong Christian who desires a new, beautiful and accessible way to engage scripture, Dwell’s myriad reading plans, translations, devotional series, and interactive features (e.g., memorization mode, playback speed, read along, etc.) allow one to tailor the app to their individual needs. Second, Dwell is always evolving to become a better, fuller Bible reading experience. The recent update which implemented the “read along” feature changed the game. I used to need to grab my Bible, make sure it was the right translation, and then follow along that way. But now, I can listen and read along all in the app. I trust that the Dwell team will only keep revising and improving the app experience. Third, and most importantly, it is so evident that the Dwell team’s motivation for creating this app is that they love the Lord and, by way of this app, they want to enable and foster a love of Bible reading in others. The result is a wonderful tool of discipleship that is always improving and accessible to all people regardless of where they are in their journey of faith. I love this app so much, I can’t recommend it highly enough!
Developer Response ,
Wow! You have taken such time and care into acknowledging many of Dwell's features - and the way you use them in your daily life. So humbling to read.
We appreciate your thoughtful review! Thank you thank you!
Innovative, Quality App
The Narrators are very good, they don’t over-do the reading, and they are smooth, consistent, and clear. The Dwell mode (repeating a chapter, book, or playlist) is probably my favorite feature as it allows you to really focus on a particular portion of Scripture for study, contemplation, or memorization. The pre-set playlists also set this app apart, as there are selections with messianic Psalms, or with only Psalms written by David, or with a compilation of Jesus’ parables. I don’t know if any other apps that offer these features, or that execute it so well. I also enjoy the yearly reading plan options with the choice of going straight through the Bible (Genesis through Revelation), or a mixture of Old and New Testament readings, and also the option of doing a seven day a week or a five day a week plan. All in all, I rate this app five stars.
One suggestion that I have is that the developers made a reader option with all of the readers together almost like a dramatized version, but just switch to the female voice when a woman is speaking and switching between the male narrators during conversion. This would require no extra recording, only re-editing and re-arranging when certain voices are heard. This feature in other apps helps me to follow historical stories more easily and it holds my attention better than the traditional single-reader style.
Why did I wait so long?
Wow. Just amazing. I kept putting off this app because I didn’t want to create an account just to try it. Then I saw the pricing and I was really put off by how much it would cost. I hate subscriptions and the lifetime subscription just seemed overly pricey. However, after using it for the past week I can tell you it is entirely worth it. I’ve been looking for a fresh new way to experience God’s word. I can certainly appreciate reading my Bible because it is God’s word. However, in today’s world it is really great to receive gods word in other formats, particularly when driving or while doing other tasks. The entire app is beautiful from the design to the listening experience. Being able to choose the readers voice is also really incredible. They sound so natural and inviting. Between that and being able to customize background music or sounds, including volume, the experience is just mesmerizing. Thank you so much for making such a well thought app that keeps God’s Word at the center. I don’t get all the other junk that apps like youversion put in. Just God’s Word and various Bible plans that read through selected sections of scripture.
