Bible Audio for Negative User Reviews
✓ Not working!!!! Please fix it!!!Even though I’m subscribed, the texts won’t download! I can’t use it offline, as promised. The sales pitch won’t go away. I’ve re-installed several times. Now it often won’t play or load even when I’m on Internet. I have paid for this!!! It’s very disappointing because I have used the Max McLean KJV audio successfully for years, allowing me to cycle through the Bible many times. Now it won’t work! And I get no response from support. I don’t even know how to get my $$ back. They must have really messed up the last update. I hope they can clean it up quickly. I feel helpless out in the digital universe..Version: 2.4
✓ App crashing nonstopJust downloaded this yesterday and loved it. However since this morning app has been crashing and won’t load. Maybe you can fix this issue.Version: 2.3
✓ Not recognizing Subscription.Everything had been going well on the app. I finally decided to subscribe so I could listen to the NKJV Dramatized. However, it doesn’t recognize I purchased it in the app. It tries to send me to Apple to make me purchase the subscription. Apple says you already have subscribed. Then the app just stays on the loading screen and never loads the subscription. I would like a refund. Or it to just work..Version: 2.3
✓ BrokenThe app seems to work fine when connected to the internet. However, the in app purchase of down loaded content to permit listening off line does not work. The download never succeeds. You can restart the device, stop and restart the app - nothing works — $20 for nothing..Version: 2.3
✓ Ok app but why pay twice?This is a Bible Gateway app, in effect. Bible Gateway already charges a $4/month subscription fee (and also has audio). Why does this app require an additional $2/month fee? Total of $6/month? Would love to know why this app is not free if you already subscribe to Bible Gateway. That would be my first suggestion - make this free to Bible Gateway subscribers. Frankly, I think it should be free regardless, or there should be no more than a $1.99 ONE-TIME charge. The app is ok, but I do not think it is sophisticated enough for a monthly subscription. Other suggestions: 1-add chapter and verse (since all there is currently is a mention of the chapter by the narrator at the beginning of the chapter). 2-add selection of verses in addition to books and chapters. 3-needs font options. 4-needs option to look at more than one verse at a time. 5-needs the ability to minimize the player ribbon. 6-needs the ability to sync across all devices (just as Bible Gateway does). Thanks..Version: 1.2
✓ Please Fix This!I have downloaded like 10 different Bible audio apps and this is the best one for my personal use. However, 3 times now I have deleted it and redownloaded it because I will get through about 3/4 of a book and then it quits working and won’t load anything. Very annoying. But it’s literally the only app I’ve liked so I have downloaded it a fourth time. If I have to redownload it a fifth time I’m not sure what I’m going to do. Please for the good in the world fix this problem!.Version: 2.3
✓ StealingI have paid for the monthly subscription to listen offline 2 times now and it will NOT recognize that I have paid, EVEN though the App Store shows that the subscription started. I have tried deleting and re-downloading and it still hasn’t updated me to the paid version..Version: 2.3
✓ Upgrade is not workingThe upgrade is not working; I tried to subscribe twice, but it is buffering. I deleted the app and downloaded it again, and asked for a subscription again. The system should input if you subscribed already. It's annoying..Version: 2.3
✓ JunkI got this app so I can listen to the Bible in chronological order. It plays the Bible in a daily Bible reading format which makes it worthless to me. You can’t access it by chapter and verse only by day of the year. So if you want to hear some thing, you have to scroll through the days to find it. Absolutely worthless..Version: 2.3
✓ Good & one-of-a-kind, but needs work.I’m a pastor and have a pretty intense daily reading plan. I listen as I read along, or sometimes just listen. Using an iPad 2 and iPhone 5S. I used it a few months before paying. The cost was worth it for me to use offline. But it might not be worth it for some. The other translation options available on the paid version didn’t matter to me since I only use the NIV on the app. This is the ONLY Bible app that meets all criteria I’ve searched years for: 1) has adjustable speed; 2) displays only one verse at a time [easier to follow] and; 3) has a dramatized NIV version (keeps my attention much better than voice-only narration. Four requests: 1) Make last listening/reading location syncable across devices. 2) Provide adjustable font size, so I don’t have to scroll down when reading on my phone 3) Provide a Night/Low Light reading mode 4) Fix the two bugs in the premium downloaded version where the chapter doesn’t automatically advance unless on WiFi and freezes up whenever it comes to another place where an ad would have been on the unpaid version. [This happened to me when I was traveling for several days in an area without internet. I had to manually advance each chapter and restart the app each time it thought it should play an ad, which wouldn’t have played on WiFi but still would have skipped over].Version: 1.2
✓ Keeps locking upI love the speed feature, but every few minutes, it just stops. I delete app- reload it and it works for a few chapters - then locks up again. Then I repeat the whole process. Sorry but it needs fixing. Twice when I changed to a different version, BOTH narrators spoke at the same time. Very frustrating. I’ll try again— after the bugs get fixed..Version: 2.3
✓ Freezes after few minutesI have an iPad 6 with iOS fully updated. This app freezes after playing for a few minutes. I have uninstalled/reinstalled multiple times with no improvement. I paid the annual subscription and downloaded the Max McLean NIV, and I have same trouble playing other bible versions via WI-FI..Version: 2.3
✓ Don’t buy! Doesn’t work offline.Really should have listened to the reviews. I have to constantly delete and redownload the App as it errors out almost daily. I Paid for the full subscription, it downloaded, I was excited, it worked for half the day, then it just keeps erroring out. Don’t waste your money until they fix the App. December 9th, 2022..Version: 2.3
✓ Continuously have to reinstallI bought the annual ad free offer, but when I log in it doesn’t recognize that I purchased it. Also, after running the app a couple times, it stops working, then I have to reinstall it. I love listening to this app when it’s working, but it is rather glitchy. It will continue to play during my phone calls as well..Version: 1.2
✓ Dangerous Error!Please, look at Genesis 19:5 (NKJV, read by Simon Bubb). The last line of the verse is left out, something unrelated is interposed, then the reading continues as normal. I painfully saw this last year and thought it should have been corrected by now. This is sad, because Simon Bubb reads very nicely. Please, make this important correction! Thanks.Version: 2.4
✓ Not workingI just paid for a 1 year subscription and I cannot even enjoy it. Can only listen online and not offline. Requested for a refund through apple. Hope it goes through.Version: 2.3
✓ Mediocre at best.I enjoy listening to this app but they only have a selected few versions of the Bible audio on it. The app likes to play when phone calls or listening to other videos online when it’s paused and not fully closed out. Also the app doesn’t always work I find myself having to close it out and reopen it to get it to work properly..Version: 1.2
✓ VERSIONS MISSING!This App was a disappointing wasted download as some major, important, desirable versions are missing. Many listeners want to hold to sound doctrine found in accurate word for word translations rather than thought for thought translations that in many times skew truth through dynamic opinionated or tailored thought. Many thought for thought versions are attempting to make the Holy Word of GOD adapt to the reader/culture over having the reader/culture adapt to the biblical author- God and the only truth. We are to submit to God and His word, not the other way around! Having translations KJV and NKJV is a must but where is the ESV and NASB 1995 (Not 2020) ??! We’ve just downloaded this app only to be extremely disappointed in the blatant lack of those two versions therefore, we are deleting this app immediately for that reason alone! Missing verses, changed meanings and political/cultural adaptation ARE Deception (apostasy/heresy). Beware of the NIV, The Message and many other versions!! No Thanks!.Version: 2.3
✓ Don’t payI bought a subscription so that I can listen offline, but it simply doesn’t work. In other words you pay to get nothing..Version: 2.3
✓ Good, but lots of glitchesI was enjoying this app until it just wasn’t reliable anymore. It turns off before the timer is supposed to turn it off, it freezes, and it’s just very irritating. Some of the voices aren’t very good and the way they read is actually kind of irritating. You have to look around until you find a voice that you like. I’m sure there is a better app out there..Version: 1.2
✓ Works great...for awhileReally like this for my morning walks. Then, after a few uses, it stopped - no warning - mid stride. Tried restarting, no joy. Deleted the app and reloaded. Worked again, one day only. Two days in a row it wouldn’t even load. Deleted and cancelled subscription. Frustrated because it seemed a quality product..Version: 2.1
✓ Subscription issueI subscribe but still unable to listen off-line..Version: 2.3
✓ MEV AUDIOHi ! I would love to see the MEV translation in this audio app. I would consider a x5 star rating if you did it. The MEV is is a translation of the Textus Receptus and the Jacob ben Hayyim edition of the MT. Using the KJV as the base manuscript. The MEV is said to be a literal translation. I heard that the NKJV is from a different MT manuscript than the KJV. The MEV reads nicer and is EASY to understand..Version: 2.0
✓ Love the app and being able to listen to the BibleMy only reason for the 3 star is because I paid for the upgrade and it charged my account but it won’t unlock the things that I paid to unlock. If they can fix this problem I will change my rating to higher..Version: 2.3
✓ Good free app with many glitches and a worthless subscriptionI really enjoy this app, it's my go-to audio bible and has helped me read 10x that of before! That being said, it glitches every single time I use it! Everytime I run it, the text will stop or the music will stop. Please make this more reliable. Also, paying a monthly subscription for another translation and not hearing a 10 second ad about the app itself is RIDICULOUS. I was willing to pay 2.00 once just to support this apps development, but 1.99 a month, 24 dollars a year for almost nothing, on an app that is inconsistent and only works sometimes, is an ABSOLUTE NO!.Version: 1.2
✓ FiguresIt always comes back to money, don’t it??? I mean, REALLY!!!! You find an app that can genuinely bless, and then they ask for dollars. Would be nice for a Christian billionaire to come out with this app and make it available to the world free. Jesus didn’t charge for the healings He performed. And He currently doesn’t charge for salvation or the privilege to read His word. So, you can keep your app. I’ll continue reading God’s Word myself, thank you..Version: 2.3
✓ Has potentialWont let me create an account Cant create customized list of verses.Version: 1.2
✓ I need to get through to support but I’m not able to!I just bought and paid for the whole year subscription and what awaited me yesterday and now is still happening is when I open the app it just stays on the white screen and thinks and thinks and thinks! I actually sat my phone on the counter top to see if it would ever come up and NOTHING! For 25 minutes!!! Now I can’t get into the app support to get help with this! I’m very dissatisfied land disappointed and this is a bible app none-the-less! Please help me?! I actually paid for the year subscription!.Version: 2.1
✓ Still getting ads I phone 7SI love this app. I signed up for the $1.99, but still get an announcement every so many verses. Not many choices of readers and versions. I’m also still getting the banner that invites me to upgrade for $1.99 to listen?.Version: 2.3
✓ No access to offline audio even after subscriptionAs of now, I am unable to access the offline audio despite subscribing. The lack of contact person to reach for help is frustrating. Would be wonderful if someone responsible for the functions of this amazing app responded. The audio is fantastic but I need to be able to access it offline..Version: 2.3
✓ Been charged without receiving productBeen charged twice for yearly membership and it’s still advertising the membership in app in addition to adds etc..Version: 2.3
✓ Do not pay or updateDo not pay or update. The banner doesn’t remove and the app doesn’t work offline on the iPhone even on the latest iOS. When I am on airplane mode, it still ask for me to connect to the internet. I paid for the whole year thinking the above. I would like a refund. I am out of $20. Outside of these two issues, I do like the app. I love that it goes to the next page on its own. It would be nice if with longer scriptures, they would fit the page..Version: 2.3
✓ Buy the word but do not sell itSuch is the instructions given in the good book, so why is it required to do just that to enjoy God’s teachings without interruptions? A monthly subscription is simply absurd. Otherwise, it’s a decent app but I think I will be looking at others for simplicity sake..Version: 2.2
✓ App turns itself on after turning it offThis app needs more work. I’ve turned it off twice by hitting the pause button; then gone to another app; and it turns itself on again. It happened twice like that..Version: 1.2
✓ ProblemsI still have ads after subscribing No downloading available Often get a white screen as the page loader just spins I had hoped for better quality especially for subscribing.Version: 2.3
✓ RubbishPaid for a monthly subscription but still get whiny American woman asking me to unplug and upgrade halfway through chapter. The readers are good but pity about the breach of contract..Version: 2.3
✓ Don’t upgrade!There’s not enough of a benefit to paying for the upgrade. My banner goes away most of the time, but you can’t download to phone for offline use (add infers you can in the banner, but when you select it - it goes to purchase options). Misleading. Trying to get ahold of Audio Bible by phone is difficult - so customer service is also poor. Enjoy it free - it’s got lots of voice options..Version: 2.3
✓ Don’t purchase the subscription!!I purchased the yearly subscription for the offline reading. The app won’t recognize my purchase and doesn’t load. I should’ve read more reviews before I spent my money. This app must be from a TV evangelist that just wants your $20. Because just like them, you throw your money at them and get nothing in return!.Version: 2.3
✓ Doesn't work well on iPhone 12Stopped working after a while. Had to re-install the app to make it work. Paid the subscription, and it is great when it works. Unfortunately the glitches needs to be repaired..Version: 2.3
✓ Nothing but problemsSince I’ve downloaded and paid for subscription to the Biblegateway Bible Audio I have had to reinstall twice now. First time I found it may have been from the update so I reinstalled it and it worked for a while but then will not start up. I just get the spinning wheel in the center of the screen. It’s now done it again. I wouldn’t recommend this app to anyone. I feel sad because I love listening. Mark Z..Version: 2.3
✓ Good app but not so goodI had been enjoying this Bible app for several weeks and then one day, it stopped moving the verses with the audio. I tried shutting it down and restarted it to no avail; the verses still would not change. I had to delete the app and reloaded the app to get it to work, that lasted two days and now it’s back to the same way. There seems to be a bug in the app; please fix. The verse matching with the audio was the reason I chose this free app..Version: 2.1
✓ Don’t buy one year subscription until they fix these bugs1)I just bought the one year subscription and it still pauses during a chapter. Then when I press play it restarts to the beginning of the chapter. I don’t mind paying for the yearly subscriptions but it can’t be having these bugs that messes and discourages me from even using the app I just paid for. 2)Also, each time I open the app, I have to sign in again, it doesn’t stay logged in. 3) Another issue, is that sometimes it reverts back to the free version and it asks me if I want to upgrade. Then I have to click restore purchase and that fixes it (but only for a short time). But I shouldn’t have to be doing this over and over. Seriously, Please fix these issues..Version: 2.3
✓ No longer opensI was paying their more comprehensive app for years, and I absolutely loved it, but it stopped functioning. So I found this one, and it worked for a short time, and now it’s not functioning. I have a fully updated iPhone, and all I can find is that maybe it doesn’t work with the latest iPhone updates. I tried sending an email to support, and no response..Version: 2.3
✓ Paid for App, Received 0 ServiceRecently, I paid for this app to be able to listen to the audio offline. There was an error of sorts and I still am unable to play offline. I emailed the customer support page weeks ago and I assume no one checks it anymore. Recommend not downloading this app and checking out any of the dozens of others that accomplish the same things as this one..Version: 2.3
✓ BuggyThis is a good app when it’s functioning. 2 things would improve this app greatly: 1 is for the bug in this app to be fixed. It will work fine and then out of nowhere it’ll have a message pop up saying “unable to load” or “loading error” and the app won’t load even after closing it so you’re forced to delete and redownload. Very annoying to say the least. And 2 would be an upgrade where you can also repeat the book you’re in as well as chapter and verse.Version: 2.3
