Dwell: Audio Bible for Positive User Reviews
✓ Blinded by griefAt this moment in time I cannot read the Word if Gix as I am blinded by the grief if losing my son to suicide. I can’t focus but I can listen. Thank you for bringing me the word even in the depths of my sorrow..Version: 2022.20
✓ Love it!Love this app for reading/ listening to the Scriptures! I wish it offered other Spanish versions of bibles as well. Keep up the good work..Version: 2012.12
✓ Excellent biblical resourceI only heard about the Dwell app at New Wine, a Christian camping festival in the U.K. last week at one of the seminars. I downloaded it immediately and subscribed to it and haven’t looked back since. It is rich in content and I will continue to explore it. Bravo to the team who have created this wonderful resource..Version: 2022.17
✓ Love the choice of voices!I’m really enjoying dwell! The reading plans and different voices are great! Best bible app I’ve tried!.Version: 1.3.5
✓ Edited: Amazing App but Why No Apple Watch supportThe app really is great. There’s so many thoughtful and innovative things in it. For example, reflective time after passage before it repeats or moves on. Or simply repeat. But why in the world is there no CarPlay or Apple watch support? If there was ever an app on the App Store that should have CarPlay support as a no brainer it is this one. Same for Apple watch. I cycle and would love to listen to dwell using my apple watch while I ride but i have to use another Bible app that does have watch support. (I don’t use my phone on my bike because the watch does everything the phone does that I need while riding.) Edit: they added CarPlay support, which is great. While it should’ve had it from day one, it’s awesome that it’s there now. So thank you. My next request is watch support. For the reasons stated above..Version: 2022.20
✓ Wonderful App- Some RecommendationsI really enjoy using dwell. Sometimes I can’t concentrate reading the Bible on my own and it’s really helpful to have someone read to you. I just have a few comments for feedback: - sometimes the app is slow or glitchy. I’m not sure if there can be an update for that? - it would be nice to be able to download entire books for offline use - i know this is probably not easy to do, but could you please add the apocryphal books too? Thanks for such a wonderful app!.Version: 2022.21
✓ Dwell AppI downloaded and paid for a full subscription. The app is beautiful. It is beautifully presented, easy to use and full of amazing plans to focus Bible listening. Could not recommend this more! The music, the voices, the beauty of these recordings! Thank you Dwell!!!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Love it more than I thought I would!I didn’t plan on purchasing a subscription when I first downloaded this because I haven’t been doing too well financially. However, I heard great things about this app and have been wanting to read the Bible but have very little time to actually sit down and read it (especially the way I want to) so I thought I’d give this a try with the intention of canceling after a week. As soon as I started in the book of Genesis, I loved it and decided this app would be a necessity to my lifestyle and a tool for my spiritual growth. So I couldn’t bring myself to cancel. I think this is well-worth the investment, especially if you’re like me and trying to get the word in whenever you can and as much as you can 💪🏼. I also highly suggest this for anyone who’s new to the Bible (I’m new) because of how simply and beautifully structured this app is. I can tell a lot of thought has been put into this app to spread the word of just how great our God is. 💛 I’ve tried other bible reading apps (free ones) but none of them stuck with me like this one does. I really love this app and will use this as a daily staple. Thanks, Dwell..Version: 2020.12
✓ Love the Dwell Mode + Suggestions!Overall I've tried this application for a few weeks now and love it. The varied voices and background music selections, as well as ability to customize the relative volume of each is helpful. Since I prefer ESV, I like that I can limit the set of random voices to be those that read this translation. I haven't gotten to explore the curated playlists yet but am excited to do so. I have been using the Dwell mode extensively to memorize Scripture. My feedback for this would be that I'd love the opportunity to pick my own passages of Scripture to replay on Dwell mode. It seems to me that I can only pick from tracks already created, which are often either the entire chapter (such as 2 Corinthians 4) or a section that doesn't necessarily capture a full thought/sentence (such as 2 Corinth 4:18 only). I'd love to see this ability in a future update!.Version: 2020.16
✓ Great alternative to readingGreat tool in the technology toolbox to soak and get more of God in you. High recommend - Take advantage of the lifetime membership options when they come up on sale..Version: 2023.11.3
✓ FabI do like what i have experienced so far using the app! The reason i tried it was because i wanted a repeat function for chapters or verses- portions rather than endlessly reading through book after book- which seems to happen with other free audio versions i have found. I appreciate the various voices and translations too. Its still a little confusing navigating the app and i fumble around quite a bit trying to find stuff. The search function is a life saver! Thank you for the 7 day trail - unlike the previous review- I find the pricing options challenging. It was only when i wanted to cancel my free week that i realised i could sign up for a one month, which i then did. However, a month is very expensive and the other two options year/life is also a challenge. I would prefer paying £3 per month for a year rather than the upfront £36. I think you price many on a budget out of the app. However, i am planning on enjoying my month being saturated in the Word!.Version: 2021.11
✓ Best Out ThereI shopped around for an ESV audio Bible app for quite sometime. This one was definitely worth the annual subscription because I wanted to support further content and features in the future. The app is extremely user friendly. I love that you can choose the speed of the reader and play background noise at whatever volume suits you. I’m currently listening straight through books of the Old Testament but am excited to see many of their own plans of various lengths - “through this book in 7 days” or “through that book in 30 days” - as well as topical studies. The background music is beautifully written and helps catch my ear which helps me focus. Another great thing is that the books are “tracked” by verse. Meaning when you skip ahead or need to go back, it does so one verse at a time. I love that it’s not by 10 or 15 seconds like other audio apps. Well done! Well worth the subscription! Keep up the great work!.Version: 1.3.7
✓ ExcellentVery helpful and spiritually beneficial, thank you for this app that lets me hear the Word of God continuously!.Version: 2021.06
✓ Daily BlessingsI am enjoying the Lent devotional Tripp and the companion scriptures are rich in feeding my soul!.Version: 2024.2.1
✓ Such a great blessing.For a man who’s married and busy with two small kids sometimes bible reading can be difficult. Dwell is a clean, cut, and current innovation that allows me to access the bible as easy as I access my phone. Yes there’s room for improvement. But that’s expected. The team are consistently updating the app and fixing glitches. I think the variety of voices are amazing. The music is also such a great back drop that doesn’t take your focus away from the words being spoken. I recommend this to everyone of my christian friends. This is a an essential app for a closer relationship with The Word..Version: 1.0.3
✓ One App to Rule Them AllNothing can stand with more light than the Glory of Jesus as revealed in this secret that is now made known!.Version: 2022.19
✓ I love Dwell!!!A wonderful way to connect with God!!.Version: 2023.5.1
✓ I don’t know why I only bought this now..I am so thankful for Dwell providing this resource. It helps lead you into the heart posture of willingness & humility in order to hear God’s Word. I bought the lifetime package. Very worth it..Version: 2022.20
✓ This app.. I’m speechless!I love this app because it is beautifully designed. There are four different voices to choose from and the music in the background makes it so peaceful! I love it! It’s so easy to listen to! However, I do have to say that I was disappointed that there were only eight of the Old Testament books on the app. Books like Deuteronomy and Numbers are usually the hardest for me to read because of all the names and I love going through the Bible each year. Plus, I’m paying for the app, so it’s certainly a disappointment. Another thing that I don’t like is that you can’t change the version of the Bible (it’s in ESV). I prefer CSB over ESV. If you are KJV only, then this app isn’t for you. Plus, it’d be a lot of work to record several different versions, so I understand why it’s in ESV. This app is beautifully designed as I mentioned before. The version isn’t a make or break feature. All of the Old Testament books aren’t on here currently (if there are, I can’t find them) but there is still so much to listen to! Overall, this app is definitely worth the space on your phone!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ So convenient and easy to useSo blessed to have an app like this ! Thank you guys for creating this, may God bless you unimaginably 🙏🏾.Version: 2020.03
✓ So encouragingI never leave reviews but this time I had to. This app has helped my husband and I through one of the most challenging seasons of our life so far. There’s nothing like falling asleep and waking up to Gods word. We love the daily devotionals, such a great way to start the day. Worth every penny!.Version: 2023.9.1
✓ Great voices and interactive feelThe way the music and voices work in together help to foster a thoughtful hearing of God’s Word - vertebrae of joys for my whole being.Version: 1.4.1
✓ BeautifulThis app is one of the best ways to listen too and enjoy God’s Word. The various voice, translations, and background music makes it a simply beautiful experience..Version: 2021.08
✓ Spellbinding!I am exceedingly grateful to have heard about Dwell via a Facebook advertisement many months ago. This project is one grand step towards restoring the original medium of Scripture: spoken. This can certainly be used with earbuds for individual devotion (I have taken advantage of that), but imagine streaming this through a Bluetooth speaker for your house church, missional community, etc.! The possibilities for edification are endless. That is what I’ll end with: possibility. The gift(s) of each individual involved in this project are an eternal investment in the Body of Christ and I pray that return on investment will be restoring the oneness of believers, whether through a shared pair of earbuds or at a dining room table with a Bluetooth speaker. Thank you, Dwell Team! I look forward to the Spirit accomplishing much greater things than even these!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ For the auditory learnerI love hearing audio books so it makes sense I would like to hear the Best book ever written. The music helps too! Love being able to choose different voices..Version: 2021.09
✓ Great resource! Load times are long in AustraliaHighly recommend this app. Would be great to see more people supporting it in Australia to get more infrastructure built for Aussie users. Currently getting a lot of load errors and standard load time is very slow for this app. The resources of this app are 2nd to none though!!.Version: 2020.08
✓ Dwell fits lifestyleI love to listen to Dwell in the early hours before rising. It helps me to keep my mind on The Lord and His ways. I also really appreciate the changes in accents used. Thank you.Version: 2022.10
✓ ProblemsI paid for a year for this app. The app is now locked and it is useless to me. How do I unlock it..Version: 2020.16
✓ Love this app!I use Dwell as part of my morning time with God. It is beautiful and thoughtfully designed. It enriches my daily time with God beyond measure, giving me fresh ears to hear the Word. I highly recommend it!.Version: 2021.10
✓ Beautiful appI signed up for a year subscription and am so pleased I did. Easy to use, and lots of options for voices and background music. It also has specific playlists covering various topics or Bible books. My only minor issue is I can’t find an easy way to find my chosen plans, only the scriptures last listened to..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Great, problem with plansSeems that ever to a subscribe to a plan the next day it’s unsubscribed, specifically I am trying with the 90 day plan?.Version: 2022.26
✓ Scripture, From Headphones To HeartDwell has been a solution to multiple things I was struggling with - like sleep, emotions and concentration. It has brought Scripture into all my struggles, and that’s a game changer. Almost all audio Bibles I’ve seen before this have problems with navigation or poor narration, but this is where Dwell excels. It’s pretty much as easy as flipping through the pages of a Bible, and you can customise voice, translation and background sounds. The curated ‘I’m Feeling…’ playlists are incredibly helpful for an array of situations, and there’s a wealth of other content. Giving Dwell five stars is a completely straightforward decision..Version: 2023.2.2
✓ LoveThe audible form of layout of Gods word is un-ending ! Grab a seat with Holy Spirit and let Christ do his thing !!! Blessings J T Healey.Version: 2022.23
✓ Dwell Bible AppI love this bible App, so easy to use and the variety of voices is refreshing. I would highly recommend it..Version: 2020.11
✓ Scripture comes to lifeYou’re bound to be enthralled by Dwell’s ability to present the scriptures in a range of accents accompanied by stirring music! Highly recommended!.Version: 2020.11
✓ Helped me to sleep again! Matthew 11:28 Romans 8:18-19I heard about this app from a friend, usually I’m the kind of person who reads the Bible whether that be on the app or pick up a Bible I have in my room, and I really have to say this app has already helped me in so many areas of my life and it’s only been a few days of having it on my phone. I used to be heartbroken that I no longer had a partner that I could sleep with on the phone or talk to at night, as silly as that sounds, I wouldn’t even be able to sleep from how lonely I was but this app has made it to where I now sleep early and on time I look forward to only putting on my Dwell app and falling asleep to the peaceful night plan! I’ll even wake up with it still playing and it really changes the atmosphere of every single day. I’m so blessed and grateful that the Lord showed me this app and spoke to me this way! I would like to see however more books of the Old Testament and more translations that I can listen to. Thank you guys❤️ Matthew 11:28 Romans 8:27-29 Romans 8:18-19.Version: 2019.12
✓ Fantastic Bible AppSuch a wonderful way to study the Holy Bible either by listening, reading. Many Studies are available and are easy to do. Lovely and relaxing with Hod’s spirit. Affordable and easy to start up and to use asap..Version: 2023.12.1
✓ Simply wonderfulI have just downloaded the app. A friend of mine was tell us all on Zoom. And it really is wonderful. The difference choice of voices, background music if you want. Plans set out. And plans to sleep to. Simply wonderful..Version: 2020.12
✓ Beautiful app, currently a little bit ‘heavy’Amazing work so far with 4 wonderful voices (premium version) which really capture the spirit of God’s word and communicate it well. The app itself is quite ‘bloated’ however in the sense that it takes a while for passages to load and changing voices also seems to take a long time too. If you fixed that it would be 5 ⭐️ from me!!.Version: 1.2
✓ LoveLove this app. So great when your eyes are tired to be able to just listen to the Word. And to be able to choose a voice and version. Also love the timer..Version: 2023.5.1
✓ How it was heard long agoI was thinking,dwelling, you might say, on this app and I realized that back in the day this is how people digested the word it was read to them and the people listened. Many things were passed down orally including scripture. And I must say, it’s a different experience listening to it. Gives it a certain life that is hard to achieve by reading. Nothing beats personal study and reflection but it also is a blessing to be at work, not being able to read the word but being able to listen to it. The ambient music is really nice to in just setting a tone to it. Gregory is my go to narrator. Anyway this app has been a blessing especially going through the Old Testament. It made a book like Leviticus, which most people agree is a hard book to read, it gave it new life to me and I appreciated its deeper meanings and I began to realize the theology in it which New Testament writers like Paul drew from. Thank you for this app..Version: 2019.12
✓ .Super easy to use. Great to have choices in voices and be able to turn on or off music. Really like the plans at it helps you to kickstart your bible listening!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Awesome AppThis app is exactly what I’m looking for. I’ve been wanting an app that plays the Bible in various voices and music, that I can choose! It’s perfect for all day and for bedtime…. thank you for making this app this way :).Version: 2012.12
✓ Great!This app is awesome! Couple of things, if you haven’t already you should look into the voice translation, and if you could make it compatible with iPad (a landscape mode would be ideal for iPad).Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great App, Great Design... other versions/translations?This is a GREAT app. I signed up to a lifetime supply subscription as there was a 50% deal. I’m really impressed with the design and overall usability of the app. It’s a great way to grow in God’s Word, thank you to all involved. I notice that the developers reply to other reviews... can I ask, will you be bringing out any other versions/translations??? The NLT would be a great addition, I know a lot of people find the NLT easier to understand and more devotional... perhaps that would expand your users and ultimately grow the mission you have to get more people engaging with the Word. Seriously great app... thank you!.Version: 2020.14
✓ Best Bible AppI’ve been using Dwell for about a year now and am utterly pleased with it. The latest update has made it much better, though it was good before. The introduction of the voice of David Suchet reading the NIV Bible is just brilliant and I could listen to it for ages. As a Pastor, it’s good to listen to the word of God, not just study it. There are many helpful reading (shouldn’t that be listening?) plans and playlists. I’ve found the Bible in a year: 5 day plan the most useful for me and my apprentice..Version: 2021.10
✓ A guiding lightAbsolutely beautiful. I really love that you can choose your orator, that you can set a reminder and even go to sleep with the Word. I can tell that lot of thought and holy passion has gone into this beautiful app. Thank you..Version: 2020.03
✓ Amazing so far!I finally get the read the bible the way I like! It being read to meeee. The calming music is a great add and I love the music change and tone intonations for certain parts of the story telling! Well done app creators! Much thought was put into this🩵.Version: 2024.2.2
✓ So helpfulI have found this app so helpful for supplementing daily Bible reading. Given that I also struggle sometimes to focus on text, it has sometimes even become my daily reading. The variety of versions and voices is excellent and the addition of background music really helps reduce other noise distractions. The app has some really helpful themed playlists and listening plans; there really is something for everyone..Version: 2012.12
✓ The best!This app is incredible. Such an easy interface. Great content and customisable options. The only thing I would say would ADD so much more is an offline mode. Travelling often I wish I would have this with me offline!.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Amazing app!Such a wonderful app! It has everything you need to stay close to the Word!.Version: 2023.4.1
✓ Dwell ReviewThank you so much for this wonderful app. I so appreciate all the choices in narrators and musical backgrounds and most especially the content. The devotionals are a personal favourite. One suggestion I would ask is if on the daily devotionals, they would not say “it’s been a joy to be with you”, as it feels somewhat disingenuous since the reader isn’t actually with us. I so appreciate the current lent closing Go in peace, and may the word of the Lord dwell richly in you”. The other suggestion that I have been thinking about is, I so wish the Bible passages in the Christmas and lent devotionals would be incorporated into the body of the daily devotional (not a separate place to go to afterwards). It’s not that it’s that inconvenient, it’s just so very well chosen and I don’t want any reason to finish without including the passages. Perhaps you are trying to keep it short for those that are wanting a quick devotional, but thepassages are so rich and meaningful and could make the devotionals even better, if they were found together. Perhaps a button in the same page could start the passages. Thank you for what you offer. We so appreciate it, and is a regular way we begin every day. May the Lord bless you!.Version: 2024.2.2
✓ Love this appI’ve had other audio bible apps but this is the best! It’s so calming and soothing.. the voice and the music. I love the user interface. I love everything!.Version: 2020.11
✓ Faith comes by hearing ❤️So so thankful for Dwell and how it has been an avenue of greatly increasing the amount of scripture I take in. Yes, NASB next please!!.Version: 2020.16
✓ Love itThis has been so worth the money. From the different reading plans to the background music to the different translations to the different voices to the ability to read along, I have increased my Bible reading tons. It is great to fall asleep to as well. I highly recommend it..Version: 2021.11
✓ Dwell is the app I never knew I needed!I read my Bible daily, but this app. I’ve LOVED being able to listed to my bible aloud. There are people in the Bible whose stories I’ve never much thought about, but hearing their stories read aloud has brought me to tears. Hearing the Bible was the only way the Hebrews and early Christian Church were exposed to the Bible. This app brings a little bit of that back to us and allows us to listen as they would have. This app has four voices to choose from. The graphics are beautiful. They have plans and playlists if you don’t know where to start. They have made long listen stories and passages like “Abraham’s Story” “psalm 119” and others you can choose to listen to if you find a block of time and can listen. They also have short listen passages for the time crunch. And if you like listening from start to finish, they have a library with every book of the New Testament and they are actively working on finishing up the Old Testament (currently there are 7 books: genesis, exodus, 1,2 Samuel, psalms, proverbs and Ecclesiastes). This app is so well done and I am thrilled with how it’s turned out!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great blessingI am richer and fuller, loving God more, loving others more, hating sin more, finding peace and joy more because of God’s word. Dwell is a big help..Version: 2024.2.2
✓ Awesome resource - definitely sign up and use it!Such a great resource. Really enjoying the McCheyn Reading Plan..Version: 2023.12.1
✓ Beautiful Listening ExperienceThis is a gorgeous app for listening to the Bible. The choice of readers voices is a big plus, sensitive music in the background, well planned playlists, and an app that moves seamlessly through each plan; it really is something special. I hesitated purchasing the full subscription but after listening to it for a while decided it was well worth it. I don’t think I’ve heard anything quite like it before, congratulations to the developers of Dwell..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Dwell Bible Reading AppThis app has made consistent Bible reading possible for me! And it’s an absolute joy for me enjoying and feasting on Gods Word daily by being able to adapt the Bible reading to a voice and sound that works for me. Bless you guys..Version: 2022.1
✓ Amazing for those who finding reading challengingWhile I am fully capable of reading, I much prefer popping onto audible to listen to a book than to have one in hand. Similarly, this app has made the Bible’s words come to life in a new way and eliminates the distraction that often comes from having to personally read the Bible in my hands. Sometimes when I’m tired, I can listen to familiar passages instead of having to have a light on and make sure I’m alert enough to read it myself. I also enjoy keeping it on during outdoor walks or when I’m prepping dinner—and most especially when I’m worried or anxious. If you enjoy audible, then this app is your new best friend for knowing God in a more accessible and nourishing way. Highly recommend this app for adhd and dyslexic children as well. Late readers shouldn’t have to miss out on all God has spoken for them—and this app demonstrates this truth with such beauty and engagement. A real gift that our past generation couldn’t have fathomed..Version: 2020.15
✓ Wow, I am Amazed!This is genuinely such a huge blessing to me! I encourage everyone to download this app, it is sooooooo worth it! God bless all who have contributed to the making of this app, May God Almighty reward you all for allowing Him to use you to bless others ❤️🙏🏽 Download download download 🙏🏽😀.Version: 2020.16
✓ Perfect for moms!I treasure God’s Word. I love it. It is my heart’s delight and my heart’s cry. But I am a busy homeschooling mom of 6. I rise early to spend time reading and studying. But throughout the day wasn’t making time to come back to the word. This app is perfect, whether I have one minute or ten. When I am doing dishes, tidying up, preparing lessons I can turn this on and it is immediately the best thing my kids and I could ever be filling our ears and hearts with. I would love for there to be a feature that an alarm could be set so that it would begin playing automatically. More than just the available reminders, but actually just have my morning alarm start playing the word. And have an alarm signaling time to get ready for lunch start playing the word. Thank you for the care you took to making the app so useful, organized well, and aesthetically beautiful. What a gift this app is. What redemption of technology. ❤️ this is the app I want to be addicted to..Version: 1.4.4
✓ Thankful for Dwell!Hello! I am on day 2 into listening to Dwell and wanted to share with you what an incredible blessing it has been! First of all, I am the owner of a podcast called Oh Hey Truth, to equip women to know the Word and know how to know it so that they can live it out in their lives! It’s target is 18-28 year olds. We heard about Dwell from several listeners and I finally decided to try it. IT IS AMAZING! Seriously. There was a need and y’all met it. I’m so grateful to have it and now to share it with our listeners. My second reason is that I have a very painful and all consuming disability that leaves me bed-ridden a lot. I listen to a lot of worship music and try other bible reading apps, but with the pain it was like fingernails on a chalkboard, you know. I really struggled the last 24 hours to get the pain under control with even the strongest of meds. Now, Dwell did not take my pain away BUT it was easy for me to listen to and was so soothing. The music and Rosie’s voice calmed my mind and my spirit. I am so grateful. I may sound like a quack, but I am not. I am just so so grateful that the Lord met me through your app. THANK YOU!.Version: 2019.10
✓ BeautifulI’m surprised how much I like the Dwell app. It has quickly become part of my daily life. From listening to stories in the car with my kids, playlists as I hang the washing and psalms in quiet moments. I love getting to listen to different voices, the music in the background isn’t intrusive and I’m surprised how much I appreciate the “topic” playlists (eg all Jesus parables) when I typically just take a book at a time. My only surprise is that there’s no timer to automatically switch off - although there very well could be this feature and I’m not observant enough!!.Version: 1.4.4
✓ Innovative, Quality AppThe 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..Version: 2019.10
✓ Best Bible AppDwell is by far the best bible app I have used. I love the variety of the various playlists, plans or listening to the bible and the voices with accompanying music are exceptional. Thank you for an amazing experience!.Version: 2020.11
✓ Great app, but there’s an issue specifically with the book of PsalmsI love this app! I love listening to the Bible on it! But I can’t help but notice that whenever I search for a specific psalm, I get ‘No Results’. That’s different to when I search for chapters in every other book in the Bible. Can you please look into this issue?.Version: 2020.16
✓ Love it!I love the functionality and ease of use. Great for driving and listening, memorizing Scripture, and looking up verses on the go. Nice to see different versions for comparison as needed as well. And the background music choices are a nice touch!.Version: 2023.1.3
✓ I love this appThere are many voices and translation options for listening to the audio Bible. The background music options are also super great. There are study plans and devotionals available on the app as well. Very worth the subscription! I love this app!.Version: 2024.2.1
✓ Great but 2 suggestionsI love the app. I have been blessed to listen to God’s word on a daily basis. Suggestions Answer emails Allow offline downloads Add English accents from different parts of the world. I am Colombian. Love and hugs God bless.Version: 2022.12
✓ App freeze sometimesI am in love with this bible app! It is probably one of the best audiobook bible I came across. I love the different voices you can choose from of whom reads to you. I love how clear the voices are. I had some audiobooks in the past where the voices sounded horrible, where you could Barley understand what was being said. I love the different types of beautiful music in the background and how you can also choose no music at all. I love how you can read along with the voice reader as well. The volume on the app is nice a loud. I listen when I’m doing laundry, dishes , cleaning house, etc. The app is very well detailed. What I am sad about is that it freezes up at times. That is the only problem I have with this. But besides that, I still have the app. I still listen to the app. It’s a beautiful app..Version: 2022.22
✓ Loving the bible.I’ve only just started using dwell and have discovered a bible plan suited to my needs. I love it it motivates me and plans it all out for me which is what I needed. Having it all planned out in steps for me to work through and giving me the time it will take each step stops me from being overwhelmed and keeps me on track to read / listen to it in a year. I know what I have to do each day which is great and the way it’s all done with the choice of voices to listen to and the option to read along while listening is great..Version: 2023.4.1
✓ Almost perfect…I have really loved the ability to jump into the word and listen as I drive or meditate on the word. I think that hands down this app is the easiest way to listen to the Bible. I have a suggestion on how it could be improved. I would like to be able to set a version of a “reading plan” and not have that change with other version settings I might adjust quickly. In other words if I set my listening plan to NLT, but then want to meditate/memorize and adjust my settings to repeat and ESV, I would like my listening plan to stay in NLT and not repeat. Another idea would be to have an auto playlist once a reading is finished, for example if I listen to a reading plan at the end it could start playing another portion of scripture. This would be very helpful while driving and unable to change settings. Please keep up the amazing work!.Version: 2023.1.3
✓ Amazing for ADHDI have very bad ADHD and can’t read for more then 2 minutes without my mind wandering and this makes it so much easier I listened to 15 minutes and wanted to listen to more. Thank you Dwell for helping me find God..Version: 2024.2.1
✓ Really beautiful appI very rarely buy an app but this one was worth the investment. After using the free trial I knew it was something I would want to continue to use. The voices are soothing and I love listening to a long play playlist to fall asleep to. Faith comes by hearing the Word and this app has definitely been encouraging and builds me up as I let it play and wash over me!.Version: 2020.03
✓ BrilliantThis app is amazing- you can choose translation, voice, opt in to have reflection time, repetition of passages, whether you’d like music and so much more. The interface is well designed and easy to use and there are even plans you can follow. Would highly recommend.Version: 2020.03
✓ BlessingFantastic listening experience. Super polished iOS app and the developers deserve all our prayers and gratitude for this. Now the bible is even more accessible to those desiring to hear God’s word..Version: 1.0.4
✓ My Favorite Bible AppThis app has helped me to be consistent with my Bible ready plans and to engage with God’s word in a fresh way. I appreciate the variety of voices and the ability the app gives you to meditate on God’s word. I have used this to refocus during many a stressful day! To that end, I would love to see an option to customize the Dwell function in real-time. Currently, once the meditation time starts, you can’t change the duration. I would love a feature that allows me to extend the meditation time indefinitely, or maybe even include a secondary pause button that pauses the Scripture but keeps the music on so that I can have time to journal or pray if the Spirit leads in the moment. To the developers - thank you for this app! Those who meditate on God’s word are like strong and fruitful trees planted by a stream of water. You are helping believers to live this out! I am grateful to God for you..Version: 2020.14
✓ Please add (some of) the deuterocanonical books!See other reviews for the many useful features of this app, and for how functional it is. So far as all that goes, I’d give it five stars. I do have one plea, though! I am a confessional Protestant Christian and do not believe that the deuterocanonical/apocryphal books are inspired, but, along with the Reformer Martin Luther, I do believe them to be “useful and good to read.” (For example, Judith tells a great and encouraging story, even if it is likely completely fictional, and verses from apocryphal wisdom literature inspired some of the phrases in the popular hymn “O Come, O Come, Emanuel.”) Furthermore, some Daily Office lectionaries (e.g., Anglican/Episcopal) feature readings from a handful of them. I don’t expect y’all to ever feature them in as wide an array of voices/translations, but seeing as the KJV for a long time included them, and there is an ESV version as well, one voice for each of those would be MUCH appreciated!.Version: 2020.16
✓ So goodI got Dwell as a gift from friends. I often listen for hours on end while working. Seriously well done!!!.Version: 2012.12
✓ This bibleI have been shucking four abibl of this cind wondering were I could get an mp3 version but lord in heaven had fulfilled my hart thank you.Version: 2022.2
✓ The Definitive Bible Listening AppBeautiful. Elegant. Intuitive. Innovative. Original. Dwell is the only app entirely devoted to a pure listening experience of the Bible. While other Bible apps have an audio Bible as an option to listen to while reading, this app is designed solely for listening. So much so that the look and feel is that of a music app. Complete with playlists, devotions, repeat/replay functions, etc. The only downside to this app are the occasional bugs, which can vary in degree. But that’s the cost of building an original app from the ground up. Thankfully, the Dwell team are constantly at work squashing those pesty bugs and looking for ways to creatively innovate and streamline the app. They are are more then welcoming of user feedback, which is invaluable. So proud of the tremendous work that’s gone and is going into this app. “Let the words of Christ dwell in you richly” (Colossians 3:16). “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” (Romans 10:17)..Version: 2020.11
✓ Excellent, innovative app!Have been waiting a long time, but the end product was definitely worth the wait! Thank you so much!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Brilliant APPI absolutely love this APP. Listening to Scripture is amazing. You can choose which version you prefer, which voice to listen to and background music if you want it. I often listen with my earphones on when I have insomnia..Version: 2021.07
✓ Great from New ZealandIs great thank you Haven’t had this much scripture go into my soul band every. It would be nice to have a section or things that I am currently listening to. I am on the road for work but sometimes I find that that I don’t finnish listening to something say Ester for example. Today it took me a little bit to remember where it was so I could continue listening. I did like that it started were I left of though. So thank you.Version: 1.1
✓ Best Customer ServiceI just downloaded the app this week and have not yet used it enough to give a rating on the app itself. However, I submitted a question concerning family sharing and received one of the best customer service responses I have ever received in my entire life and I am a senior citizen, so that is saying a lot! The response was within hours, not days. It thoroughly, clearly and politely answered my question. Even though the answer I received wasn’t exactly what I had hoped, I was provided with an alternative that is entirely satisfactory. The experience was so positive that I went ahead and purchased a lifetime subscription, even before putting the app through a test period. With the attitude the response displayed, I am happy to support this app through its growth period because I believe it will flourish in spreading the Word and changing lives..Version: 2020.02
✓ My daily commuteI purchased the Dwell app a year ago and it’s some of the best money I ever spent. I am self-employed, work really demanding hours, and I spend A LOT of time driving. As much as I would love to be home in a comfortable chair, sipping coffee and spending lots of pen and paper time with my Bible, that is just not realistic for my daily life. Dwell has made it possible for me to still get excellent Bible and reflection time while I am driving. I turn on the daily devotional first thing when I start my car every morning, then I listen to the scripture that goes with it and then I listen to that day’s Bible reading plan. This app is easy to navigate and easy to customize. You can choose a narrator, accent and translation that is easiest for you to understand. It has enriched my daily connection with the Lord more than I can ever explain..Version: 2023.10.1
✓ Rosie is the best voice for me!Just sorted initial app issues with a very helpful customer care team! I am enjoying Rosie the narrators voice the most atm but that may change over time! I Particularly like the illustrations for Each bible chapter and the bite sized chunks of prayer/ scripture that I can listen to quickly when I’m short on time. Thanks for the app it has been worth the wait!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Brought me more understandingI’ve been using the app for over a year now, I’ve found the app easy to use. I love you can make your own plans or study each book in your own time. This app has helped me understand the Bible more. As I listen to the readings and follow the words in my Bible..Version: 2022.16
✓ WordsIt would good if the text was there while while the voice was speaking or the audio mind that might defeat the purpose of the app I purchased an annual subscription then they sent an email with 33%of so I got the lifetime subscription but still have on my iPad subscription anulay not lifetime.Version: 2020.11
✓ Audio Bible?I absolutely love this app! I am a paid subscriber and I love the different voices and background music. There is no audio Bible like this! HOWEVER, is is not a listen through audio Bible. While the plans they have set up are helpful and you can select an entire chapter to listen to. It is very hard to keep track if you want to listen through the whole Bible. While they do have the listen through in a year listening plan, it’s just not enough for me. I work alone and I enjoy listening to hours of the Bible. I like to get lost in the reader voice while listening but to pull out my phone every few minutes, refresh the app, and then reselect the next chapter is very annoying. I like to be able to hit play once and that’s it. I believe there should be a option for auto play or continues play... besides that it’s the best listen app out!.Version: 1.4.4
✓ Wow!What a gift this app is! It has been a long time coming having an bible app built for the sole purpose of simply listening to scripture. This has radically helped me engage with God’s word in a new and fresh way. Thank you team, you’ve done an amazing job developing this app!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Renew my mindThank God for this app. For years I’ve struggled to read the word every day, I know it has a lot to do with my possible ADHD as well as my learning style. Because this app has several options for various narrated voices + music it keeps me engaged and creates a strong emotional connection with the living word. I feel Gods presence work through me as I’ve listened to Dwell this last year going through a very painful life circumstance. God is renewing my mind, when I feel the lies of the enemy and I can’t reach for my bible, I listen to this app through the day and use Gods authority to squash out the lies. Now, through this uncertain time and as a nurse on a COVID unit this app has truly brought the peace from God that is VERY much needed as mentally I need God more than ever. The enemy cannot work on you if you flood your mind and heart with the truth of the word and this app is an addition to armor of God. Amen..Version: 2020.03
✓ InspiredThe words of scripture come to life using Dwell. It keeps getting better and better.Version: 2023.3.1
✓ Such a useful toolI love the chance to input scripture in this way. It really adds to my reading experience, and makes me consider the words differently, since I’m hearing rather than looking. Thank you, Dwell!.Version: 2022.22
✓ BeautifulTo be able to listen to scripture whilst going about my daily routine is such a good idea. I can listen wherever I like, and find it so soothing. What a wonderful app, so glad I found it..Version: 2022.12
✓ A must-have for every blind personAs a blind person, I've always looked for a good audio Bible. Several apps have audio, as a kind of nod to hearing the word, but even though they have several versions, the voice is rarely that good, there's no music, and accessibility of the app with VoiceOver, especially when using footnotes, is liable to change drasticly from version to version. This app is perfect in almost every way, except for reasons of time, like more books of the Bible, other translations, especially the CSB, please, and commentaries. I'd like just one other thing from the app, and that is footnotes. Whenever they are in a Bible, it makes understanding a lot easier. They can be spoken by the currently selected voice, and a toggle in settings can turn them on or off by default, and a toggle in the player can turn them on and off for the current queue. Also, I hope that a version like the Complete Jewish Version is recorded, so that I can know the actual pronounciation of the Hebrew and Greek names, along with the other advantages of having a Messianic Jewish Bible..Version: 1.3.3
✓ So good!!!I love to Listen to the Word and the beautiful voices and of course it feeds me with my daily bread. Also gives my eyes a break. I can lay in bed and soak to the scriptures!!.Version: 2020.16
✓ My go to Bible AppMy favourite Bible app, unmatched reading options, fantastic short and long Bible portions to hear in any occasion or opportunity. It helps me to connect with Christ daily..Version: 2023.1.1
✓ Yes! Perfection!I’ve never reviewed an app before, but Dwell is so gorgeous and life-enhancing I want everyone to know about it. I own several scripture apps, but Dwell is in a league of its own. Finally instead of robo-narration I can listen to nuanced, thoughtful narration of the Bible (ESV translation of all the New Testament and several books of the Old). You can even toggle between narrators (my fave, Felix, is African). There’s peaceful background music to the reading that really enhances it, and clever volume controls so you can decided your own balance of voice and music. (I turned the narration down and just played the music to put my toddler to bed tonight. It’s so peaceful.) And on the aesthetic side, this is just a stunningly beautiful app. Plus although I like listening chronologically I appreciate how many categories of smaller listening packages there are (Messianic Psalms, for example, or specific doctrinal themes). I could keep going and going! I’m just so delighted with having found Dwell. I’ve already told my whole family about it. Honestly it’s the rare app you could gift someone and they’d be thrilled. Really deserves 6 stars out of 5. In future updates, I’d love to see another translation included, and another female voice. (Currently 1 of 4). An easier way to listen to just the music would be helpful as well..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Easy to Navigate, Good NarrationDwell has a number of different ways to listen and dig in to Scripture. The app offers plans for getting through portions of scripture (classic Bible-in-a-year sort of thing), playlists oriented around themes or topics, and other groupings. I like that you can put things in the queue so that i can play through sections I choose from different books. As an Anglican I am very appreciative of the Daily Office readings. Where other apps are clunky, Dwell is simple, aesthetically pleasing, and easy to navigate. The narrators are excellent, each one offers something different. For instance, my daughter and I find Rosie to be very soothing, so we utilise her voice for psalm readings. On the other hand, I live in New Zealand and listening to Felix is a great reminder of the global church. Each voice is clear and genuine. I’m very pleased with this app! Great purchase. I would highly recommend..Version: 2020.04
✓ AwesomeAwesome. Finally a Bible that takes the time to slow down with voices that have easy tones to listen to them. I am a type of person, who can’t read to well and by listen to this format, I am Blessed beyond measure. Well done for bringing this format out guys. Thank you so much and Blessings to both of you guys..Version: 2020.12
✓ Amazing, needs workApp is amazing, concepts are good, designed beautifully but offline use really needs work..Version: 2023.11.1
✓ My first experienceI have been a Christian for over 70 years and this is the first year I am able to read and listen through the whole bible Thanks to the excellent programming giving the verse numbers while reading 😁 that allows me to catch up if I loose concentration 😂 God Bless you all Ian 83 from Australia.Version: 1.3.7
✓ FinallyI have been looking for a convenient way to listen to scripture for ages. Finding this App has been a joy. The best thing is the devotional focus and the way pace of delivery can be tweaked, pauses in between sections and looping - can all be used to reflectively listen. Also it is a bargain (compared to other subscription services) and means this will be a staple of my devotional life. Thank you..Version: 2019.16
✓ Great Audio Bible App!Have never been a fan of audio Bibles - usually they're awkward and unpleasant to listen to. Dwell has a range of interesting and pleasant voices combined with subtle music that actually improves the listening. App interface is clean and attractive. Occasionally lags slightly when downloading a new 'track' - sometimes requiring app restart. App is quite pricey but it's gotten me more into the Bible so a worthwhile investment..Version: 2019.21
✓ You’re not paying for the Bible, but a well designed appI’m so annoyed with all the people complaining about this is not 100% free because “Gods word should be free”. You can access the Bible for free and so many different places. To expect developers, voice actors, musicians to work for free is absolutely ridiculous and insulting. None of you are asking for free Chick-fil-A 😒 This is a beautifully designed app and has so many great pieces of content with it. It’s a apparent from anyone who uses regularly that a lot of time, effort, and consideration went into how this app was designed. I use it every single day and it’s truly incredible. They run discounts often, so if you really are looking for something, long-term, there are ways to make it affordable. If you cannot afford it luckily there’s so many other free alternatives that you can look into. However, if you want to support the developers creators and contact creators, this is a great way to do it..Version: 2023.12.1
✓ Awesome!Really goood, Enjoy the layout, just hope they will come with repeat real soon as some tracks are short and would like them to be cycled over..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Perfect for my season of life right nowThis app was recommended by a podcast I listen to, “as for me and my house”. I thought I would give it a try and I am so glad I did! It’s just what I need in this busy season of life. I have 5 kids 10 and under and I rarely have time to sit and read. Now I can listen to the word of God when I’m doing all the tasks… dishes, laundry, gardening, cooking etc. It’s wonderful, and I love that I can choose what music goes in the background too!.Version: 2022.21
✓ Very good and peaceful.Really enjoy it, but sadly too expensive for me at the moment..Version: 2022.25
✓ It is here!!!So fabulous already tried different functions and plans!! Started a listening plan!!! This will revolutionise my bible bread intake!!! Thank you Dwell team the result is fabulous!!!.Version: 1.0.4
✓ User experience is exceptionalSo well laid out, simple and beautiful, I love the read along section which really helps me take it in!.Version: 2021.10
✓ Great appIt’s a great app with great voices. It would be perfect though if you could read along with it like how they do lyrics on Apple Music..Version: 2020.12
✓ GreatGreat to have the bible to listen to, especially while driving, doing dishes etc. Not the easiest to navigate around. Must read the instructions!!!.Version: 2020.16
✓ Flexibility and ExcellenceA very well put together app with great flexibility in how you can use the features. What won it for me was the ability to choose even down to the verse level of the scriptures and knowing that personal custom playlists are also in the works. I already have the Scourby KJV CDs in MP3 on my phone and have listened to them for years and so I was hesitant about embarking on a subscription. However the features of this app bring even more options to listening along with my daily Bible reading as well as being able to use the app to aid Bible passage memorisation. All in all a great app and look forward to seeing what plans the team have for its growth in future days..Version: 2020.09
✓ Not free, but have to admit: totally worth it.Lots of free audio Bible options out there, but the ease and flexibility and variety of voice and translation options just makes this a must have for someone like me who wants to really enjoy listening. I’ve been having issues with the downloads when I’m offline which is unfortunate, I downloaded a bunch to listen to while at work, but was told by the app that it couldn’t connect to the server. What a drag! I really wanted to listen all day. But for the most part it’s worth the glitches, even at the higher price tag. Having optional musical backgrounds that one can choose from is really awesome in practice. The technical side of this app is a little frustrating, but when it’s working well, the reading of scripture here is absolutely top notch. Thanks Dwell. Will continue to use for a long time..Version: 2024.2.2
✓ Narration mattersThe Bible is the greatest book because it isn’t just a book but it is a living word. I must say I’ve tried many different audio bibles and so when my friend recommended this one to me I didn’t expect much of a difference. Boy was I surprised. The dwell app has many quality narrators to choose from for all of the Bible and the different translations. My favorite so far is Kylie for the NIV. Her voice is soft and relaxing and easy to listen to. There is also a background music option which I think is very cool but honestly the narrators are what sold me. Many Bible apps have narrators that are hard to listen to for any long period of time. Dwell takes that problem away and has options for every taste you could desire. I don’t usually write reviews but I do read them and so I wanted to be specific about the value I got from this app. All the best!!.Version: 2023.5.1
✓ Great App! Love it!This has really helped me fall in love with the bible again. I would recommend getting the paid version if possible..Version: 2022.21
✓ Absolutely ExcellentHow fortunate we are to be living in a time where we have an app that is so well done as to give us soothing voices to listen to the Bible. This app has every type of a plan you can think of. You can go through the Bible all the way from the beginning to the end, or you can do a chronological order, or a historical order, etc. You can choose how many days you want to read (listen to) so if you want to go faster than a year, you can just double up on what you listen to, and it will shorten the time. The voices are so professional. The voices are soothing and there is optional background music, that is perfectly complementary for the voice that is speaking. The background music is not too loud, so the written Bible is the prominent voice. But, it’s also not too soft to where you can’t hear it at all, so the background music actually keeps me interested and focused on the Bible. Again it’s optional to have the back ground music. You can turn it on or off. Overall, this is a excellent up. I haven’t found one as good as this one. I’m considering purchasing the lifetime. Well worth it..Version: 2022.26
✓ Richard RolleThank you this is enjoyable. Been listening to it now for awhile and now have it . Love the different voices and how you can customise it . Fabulous job . Peace be with you 🙏🏽. Loving this app so much thank you ..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Perfect for listeningI’ve tried lots of bible plans but I love this the best. The times of voice abd tomong are really easy to listen to!.Version: 2023.5.1
✓ One hundred gold starsBest audio Bible out there by a long shot. Nothing even compares. It’s helped me stay in the word being a busy mom of 4 little kids. And if you can afford a Netflix subscription, you can and should be able to pay a little for your audio Bible..Version: 2021.10
✓ Game ChangerThis is hands down the best way to get into the Word consistently. It’s been a game changer in my relationship with the Lord. I’ve never “read” more Scripture in my life. The voices are casual and not at all robotic. It feels like a friend is reading to you, especially with the recent addition of the Message which I never thought I would love this much. The music is calming and peaceful. I love all the options for reading plans and that it holds my place and shows what I’ve completed. The five day plan is my fave and has Scripture from the OT, a psalm, and the NT. I love the variety and how the passages intentionally go together and you get the see the full narrative of Scripture each day! The curated playlists are great too, and it seems like they’ve thought of everything! Love love love and highly recommend. I don’t know how I ever lived without it!.Version: 2020.12
✓ I could cry… in all my life.. there’s not any app like this!I have passionately pursued my faith in Christ for 20+ years & have several Bible degrees. I have hungered for know the Word of God and to “let it dwell richly in me.” (Colossians 3:16) One of my greatest struggles has been to consistently read the Word and stick to the plan.. reading can feel hard like a chore & then life gets busy and the plan doesn’t get finished.. this audio Bible /dwell app is a MUST for the busy individual! I feel *deeply accomplished* getting through the Word as I listen and do life. There’s a timer on this so you can fall asleep to the Word of God and have it end at a particular time. You can put music or other calming audio sounds behind the Word being spoken and even find different readers with different accents. LOL! (I like the British & African readers the best :) I really like the feature that I can read the Word while they audibly speak it out.. it keeps my add brain focused and on track. The Word of God is our Sword in the Spirit.. and this above everything else in life is a worthy investment. Five stars. Definitely get the dwell app!! :).Version: 2024.1.2
✓ Fantastically designed appI'm new to Christianity/ the Bible, and I'm so glad I found this app. I've been reading a hard copy of the Bible and will continue, but the playlists and plans Dwell offers really interesting perspectives. The sleep playlists are particularly lovely! It's also just a very nicely designed app; sleek, modern and well organised. The choice of narrators is excellent, and the music is beautiful but unobtrusive. My only tiny niggle is that some of the playlists are extremely short; I love the Peaceful Night one but I wish it were longer than 6.5 minutes. Not a big deal at all though and I expect some topics are limited naturally, but just a personal preference. Overall a fabulous app, for the quality and content the annual fee is a bargain!.Version: 2020.06
✓ LUV THIS APP!It’s so helpful for when you’re in a rush but want to get yourself In God’s word!!🤍 God bless the creators of this app!.Version: 2024.1.1
✓ Gorgeous in every way.Wonderful narrators, beautiful design, thoughtful playlists, nice music... every bit of this app is lovely - and I find I keep dipping into God’s word so much more often than I otherwise would, thanks to this app..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Not JUST another audible Bible!I’ve tried so many times before to listen to the Bible on audio but either the voice, tone, delivery or accompanying music wasn’t right and in the end irritated me so much, I just couldn’t carry on. Everyone is different, what is soothing or inspiring to one person, isn’t to another. With Dwell, you get to choose the voice, the speed of the voice, the music, the individual volume and the overall volume...you get to choose something that suits you uniquely! Without a doubt, as someone who loves memorising scripture, the ‘repeat’ function has to be the best feature. I was grateful that with so many pricing options I was also able to find something that suited my budget. Not only is this an incredibly valuable app to me in my personal Christian life but I think it’s a fab way of sharing the gospel with unbelieving friends too and therefore a worthy ‘seed’ to invest in! (And no...I’m not on commission!!🤣😂😂 I’m just being sincere!🙌) x.Version: 2020.03
✓ Handy appGreat variety in translations, good voice and music. Occasionally a just little glitchy in getting it to work. I have ADD and use this weekly, I find its help for focusing. It’s helpful for when you’re trying to read but can’t bring yourself to focus on the words..Version: 2023.4.1
✓ EncouragingThis app really opens up the Bible in an innovative and encouraging way. Creative and bespoke, it speaks (literally) to your soul in a way intended to receive it. The choice of voice, music, pace and verse really helps to set the scene for a new journey through verse and chapter. I look forward to when the full iPad version is released later this year so a full screen resolution can be utilised. That said, it still works perfectly and was completely worth the investment..Version: 1.4.4
✓ Female voices: Yes!I love that you can choose to listen to female voices reading the Bible. It’d be great if this could be even further expanded and include less “professional” sounding readers further reflecting the breadth of the people of God. Also, I can work out how to put a pause between readings when I’m following a plan that has chapters from different books. I’d like to pause at the end of one chapter before it goes to the next. At the moment it flows as if you’re in the same book with no indication of the change other than: oh, hold on a min, this doesn’t sound like Matthew anymore!.Version: 2021.13
✓ Such a blessingAbsolutely love this! As a mum it can be hard to have lots of time in the word but this makes it’s so accesible! Love that my kids get to hear it as I listen to it too 💛.Version: 2023.11.1
✓ Genuinely life-changingI’m not given to hyperbole, nor usually to reviewing Apps, but an exceptional product demands an exception to those rules! I often struggle in the mornings, so being able to *listen* to the words of the Bible first thing in the morning (not read them for myself when I’m still waking up!) has genuinely been a game changer for me. Is there something about listening rather than reading printed words that makes us hear the Bible differently? I’m certainly noticing different things and I’m reminded that listening was the way most Christians encountered the word for several centuries. I’ll not be giving up reading the printed Bible, of course, but this App makes it so much easier to weave Scripture into my day ‘when I sit at home and walk/drive along the road, when I lie down and when I get up’ to paraphrase Deuteronomy. A massive thank you to the creators and backers of the App..Version: 2020.02
✓ Can’t wait for the NASB!!!Can’t wait can’t wait can’t wait? hehe.Version: 2020.16
✓ AmenSo impressed with this app I love that you get a choice of voices as the sound of the voice is always the deciding factor for me! Love the lay out and it’s great for my walk to and from work only one thing missing a sleep timer.Version: 1.0.5
✓ The bestI love this app it's just the best I had to pay but it worth it. Thank you for making this app.Version: 2022.21
✓ 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!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great app, lots of options for audio BibleThis app has been a nice addition to reading the Bible. I really enjoy it for having someone “read to me” while I follow along in my Bible simultaneously. Also great for on the go, with multiple voice options and the music in the background is a nice bonus. Highly recommend..Version: 2021.10
✓ Such a good appI absolutely love this app. It has grown and improved from when it was first launched. It was good then but now it’s brilliant. I love the fact that there’s lots of different voices so everyone can find something that works for them. I find reading difficult so have to keep my Bible reading time fairly short but I top it up with this. Plus I use it a lot at night if I have difficulty sleeping it really helps me get back to sleep. The playlists are great and I just feel I can constantly, whenever I want/need to, immerse myself in the word. Thank you Dwell team!.Version: 2020.14
✓ UPDATE: company responded and everything is working as it should!I had dwell for few years now. I paid the annual subscription each year. They are charging more now than what I started paying, and the recent update has restricted me from having all the possible options to now a limited few. I have grown to really enjoy listening to scripture to one of the voice options; which are now longer available to me. There was no warning or indication on the new update that this would happen. I spent so much time wondering what happened to all my options; then I’ve emailed customer support but no reply.. 4 business days. I guess this company doesn’t believe in granting loyal customers to be grandfathered in to the rate they started with. I’m now considering trying other Bible apps and delete dwell. How sad. UPDATE: Thank you for the reply! Everything is working as it should, and I’m happy about the results..Version: 2023.8.1
✓ Listen and read togetherThe read along feature is great. It helps me really focus and take the word in. Love the variety of voices and the simple manner- no dramatic voices. The word is strong enough on its own without theatrics (as I have found elsewhere)..Version: 2022.16
✓ Love this app.I first tried Dwell when it was a new app. I had just had my daughter in 2018. She was my first and very colicky. I found the Scripture and music calming when I was so stressed and overwhelmed— especially at night. Still love this app today!Thanks Dwell..Version: 2023.5.1
✓ Why so, so, SO expensive??This is a good app for sure but it's so unbelievably glitchy, crashes or glitches every time I use it. And most of the voices are either in the archaic outdated KJV version, or grating and abrasive. You shouldn't be charging such a high price for a Bible app this limited and glitchy!!!.Version: 2020.02
✓ The voice choices are excellent!I appreciate using dwell very much for when I am busy washing dishes or doing chores..Version: 2022.6
✓ Love this app!It’s amazing! Yes, it’s not free, but it’s 100% worth it. It makes it so much easier to spend time in the word, especially with my KJV Bible that can be difficult to understand sometimes. Praise God❤️.Version: 2022.5
✓ Such a great resourceI love putting on the reading when I’m in the car, on my daily commute. The variety of bible readers is much appreciated.Version: 2019.20
✓ WonderfulAmazing Bible app. I love listening to Bible being read in different accents and intonations. Beautiful playlists. Having background music helps me relax and focus on the reading. Love it !.Version: 2022.22
✓ Awesome App!Love this app- it has made the Bible come alive! I look forward to reading & listening to the Bible everyday! It’s such a blessing to me and those I have shared it with!.Version: 2022.5
✓ WowJust started using dwell , I like being able to choose the voice and version of bible , the background music. I had resisted paying at first , but I am so glad I did . The word of God is powerful, I find reading the word difficult at times , listening is enlightening and peace giving ..Version: 2020.15
✓ Appreciate it very muchJust got it, the choice of voices in neat and the way we can follow and read along is well made. Thanks 🙏 again.Version: 2021.11
✓ A grateful listenerIt has been a rough go the last 14 years with ongoing health issues of loved ones, job changes for my hubby, the death of both my parents and taking responsibility for my teen siblings. After seeking other options for being able to have the Bible being read to me as I go thru my days, it was falling short of great. I tried this app knowing that it costs money but so needing my heart spoken to often throughout the day and night. If your on the fence for whatever reason, this app is worth it! Personally by next year I will be getting the lifetime option and having gifted a year of it to my dearest loved ones. God has given us a gift through all those involved in this service. May the growing family coming together on this app be Blessed beyond measure of all our understanding! Heather Corcoran.Version: 2020.09
✓ DwellLife changing app that means I can virtually pick up my bible anywhere any time. This musical background is si inspirational but not distracting I love it!!Amazing in ministry to others but awesome when I’m on the go and have a moment to catch up..Version: 2019.12
✓ I like it a lotI used to use you version bible app, I stopped because it became more about socializing then reading Gods word. I use currently bible gateway and its ok. I really like Dwell a lot. I can listen and not get bored or distracted while listening. The readers voice grabs my attention along with the music. I do read my physical bible in the morning, now reading has risen to a whole new level with listening and reading along at the same time. I will highly recommend this app, as it is better than other apps I have tried that are not mentioned here. I also love that I can set the background music to random or a specific sound or instruments. This is a wonderful app! Thank you Josh and Jon for developing this app. Gods hand was and is definitely in and on this app. May God continue to bless both of you and everyone who helped with this app..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Great for Bible-listening motivationI love Dwell. I find that it’s made me more likely to listen to the Bible before turning to a podcast or an audiobook, which gets more Bible in my day..Version: 1.2
✓ 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. :).Version: 2022.20
✓ Works very wellMakes listening to the Bible every day a breeze. Great source of inspiration..Version: 2023.9.1
✓ Worth every pennyI have looked forward to reading using this app. The voices draw you into the story and hold you there. The app interface is so easy to use. You can read the screen. The pace of the reading is just right. You can choose your favourite version. Truly an app for everyone.Version: 2022.16
✓ What an incredible app!!!This is a truly amazing app! I have always struggled with getting into the word daily and this app transformed my life! Through this app I have been given a love for the word of God! I always enjoyed listening to God’s word but I always found the voices to be robotic and male. Having a female voice is so comforting because it sounds more like my own thoughts. I also just listened to the Jesus’s parables playlist and it was lovely to hear and meditate and Jesus’s words. Thank you so much for this wonderful app! One suggestion that I would have is when you are listening to a plan or a playlist that is reading from multiple places in Scripture having a pause between those different passages or maybe reading the reference before hand. I have found that it is difficult to decipher when one passage ends and the next begins. Also I would love if it was possible to download audio. It would be awesome if I could listen to it on the plane. Also the premium version was quite pricey but a price I am more then willing to pay. Again thank you so much for this app!.Version: 1.5
✓ An Incredible Resource for Studying the WordIn our culture, it is so hard to find time to sit with your Bible open and study the Word of God. This app allows you to listen to the Word while you’re on the go - in the car, while you clean, while you get ready for bed. I highly recommend using this app because it has filled my life with truth!! As Deuteronomy 6:6-9 says, “ And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.” This app makes it possible to ‘dwell’ ;) on God’s words continually!!!.Version: 2023.11.3
✓ Best devotion app availableDwell has been totally transformational for my devotion times. Rather than squeezing in a few minutes here and there, I’ve been able to listen to scripture in the car, on the train, while I walk, when I go to bed... wherever and whenever! I’m following plans, listening to recommended playlists and going through books. It’s truly wonderful. I’m also using it in my youth group as a way to get young people listening to and engaging with the Word..Version: 2019.16
✓ Love the app. But to require a subscription is ridiculous.Hey, friends! I get the nuance of an app being a business and needing to support creators but being required to pay for access to the app is really unfortunate. I wish this wasn’t a thing..Version: 2023.1.1
✓ A great way to start & end your day!Dwell is a very useful app! It has so much to offer including key bible stories. Suggested passages for focused prayer and encouragement. With Dwell, you can keep your favourite passages to listen to time or read along to after time. Dwell offers passages using different versions of the bible e. g King James or New International Version. I love the way that it encompasses different speakers from varied backgrounds, and make and female speakers- it keeps you engaged and focused. Dwell is well put together & provides easy to follow bible reading plans, which is always useful. I would highly recommend Dwell..Version: 2021.09
✓ Feeds my soul!Beautiful! Calms and nurtures my heart mind and soul. Using it quietly in the background during my prayer time. After years of Domestic Violence the depression and anxiety lingers at the threshold, when they arise the ability to listen to Gods Word given through the Holy Spirit to godly men in ages past ensures it is well with my soul. Thank you to all those who made this app a reality..Version: 2019.20
✓ BRILLIANTI am so amazed at the brilliance of this app. From the different voices to the background music it gives you a fresh revelation of scripture. My personal favourite is that they have playlists of scripture, for example the love of God - so they have accumulated a bunch of scriptures about the love of God, they have playlists of scriptures to play before bed & great bible plans. This app makes it easy to surround your life w Gods truth to flood & transform your life! Thankyou so much for creating a phenomenal app, looking forward to growing deeper in my walk w God!.Version: 2020.03
✓ You won't find a better audio Bible appDwell will make you want to listen to Scripture. It's done so beautifully. With great customisation options, a range of plans to follow, and brilliant design, it's worth the subscription fee..Version: 2019.20
✓ Super Great App! 😃Have had the Dwell app for a few months now and have been enjoying it immensely! I tried out the various options with the music and voices and found that I enjoy them all, but especially enjoy the default settings. I appreciate how they have it easily set up the have a Bible portion of the day, rather than just a verse and have it set so I can have a reminder each morning where I can just swipe and go straight there first thing when I wake up. 😊 I also like how they have various study sections, reading plans, and even short portions set aside that you can listen to if you don’t have a lot of time. The only thing I would add to the app if I could is having the Word present in a written form as well when you’re listening to it, so you could follow along if you desired to. I figure this would probably slow down the app a bit, and is probably why they had chosen not to do so. I resolve it by having an additional Bible app that I can easily go to, since I can listen to Dwell and be in whatever other app I desire at the same time- which is super nice. 😊.Version: 1.3.3
✓ There’s something special about this app!I used this app for the first time last night. I listened through Colossians and Ruth, as they were available for free as samples. I was immediately hooked. I’ve used audio Bibles in the past, both for ESV and NASB, but there is something really special about this one. The different voices do an amazing job of bringing the word to life, and it makes you really appreciate how these words were meant to be read aloud over the saints when they were first given to the church. It does this incredibly well. Another great feature is the ability to increase/decrease the reading speed. The background music is a subtle compliment that ties in nicely, but can be turned off if it’s too distracting. After listening to those two short books, I immediately began convincing my wife that we needed to pay for the lifetime membership option, which we have now happily obtained. This is a wonderful way to get into God’s word. It doesn’t feel dull or dry, but lively and vibrant. If you’re on the fence, I really do recommend that you take the plunge. God bless!.Version: 2020.10
✓ Mrs ByrneI find this so simple and easy to listen too. It’s calming and really let’s you enjoy a quite time with the word of God..Version: 2020.03
✓ 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..Version: 2023.7.1
✓ Best Audio Bible App to dateSuper excited about this app. I have been playing with it all day now and it’s super easy to use and very friendly to the ears. The immersive experience which includes narration with subtle music in the background makes this a very relaxing and spiritual experience all around. Being able to change the voice and type of background music is well thought out. I would highly recommend downloading the free version and play with it for yourself. Didn’t take long for me to realize I needed this for my quiet time and I bout the unlimited version which opened everything up. Looks like there are also many listening plans for in-depth studies so looking forward to that as well. Thanks to the developers for this well laid out experience I will be using this for some time to come..Version: 1.0.5
✓ What a blessingI absolutely love the app, the interface is a little difficult to get used to at first, and I don’t always have access to internet. So if it would be possible to download chapters for offline that would be amazing. Other than that it’s really really good.Version: 2020.05
✓ A couple of suggestionsLike the new update as it makes it easier to listen to any part of the bible while keeping plans and playlists in a separate single section. Also looking forward to making my own playlists so I can make my own "fan-edit" Bible reading plans. Please can there be a sleep timer incorporated into the app - I can get around this by setting a count-down on the Clock app that turns the sound off my phone when I want to finish listening. Also, I am using the chronological bible but would like to read starting from 1 Chronicles - however, I can't mark all the previous days as 'read' - I have the tick them all off individually - could there be a way for me to tick one day then all the previous days could then be marked as read? Also, could there be the option of hearing chapter stamps in the audio? Its really helpful for when listening to know where you are - I often get lost in other long audiobooks. Hope this feedback is useful..Version: 2020.06
✓ QualityI used the free trial and forgot to cancel it; this was the best money spent for a year’s worth of a quality audio Bible app. Our family budget is tight but this app is worth it so here I am with year two, enjoying it! Other free Bible apps offer audio options for listening but it’s not nearly the same. The background sound along with the voice and Bible version are all customizable which I am grateful for; it makes it so much easier to listen to. The playlists are spot on! Cleaning, cooking, driving, working, etc are just a few options as well as playlists based on feelings of anger, shame, stressed, etc. it’s thorough! Instead of me writing a novel about how much I enjoy this app you should get the free trial. Better yet, accidentally forget to cancel it and pay the money to hear Gods Word spoken over you because faith comes by hearing. And this app makes faith worth hearing. Thanks Dwell for helping me to abide in the Vine..Version: 2024.3.1
✓ Great Idea, but a few challengesReally like the app! Really enjoy the voices that read the scripture! Challenges: Adding scripture to a playlist is a bit clunky. -It would be helpful to have a function where if you are listening through a passage you can select a verse or more and add it to a playlist. For example: The YouVersion bible app has an underline function where you tap the verse or verses and can save/highlight/bookmark. Utilizing this type of functionality to be able to save and add verses to playlists would take this app to a whole new level! -also when searching for a verse, after you type in a reference into the search bar, if you tap on the search bar it automatically clears out the whatever was typed there’s …it would be helpful to have the option to add-on or edit what was typed…maybe have the “x” icon (used commonly) on the right end of the page search bar as an option to clear.Version: 2021.11
✓ SuggestionWould love to see the option of putting one verse on repeat for the sake of memorization. This app is so great though! I have a lifetime subscription and am so happy with it otherwise..Version: 2021.13
✓ Love this appFor a grown woman with ADHD I find it very difficult to read the WORD but with the voice reading to me as I read, it’s such a blessing💙And what makes it even better being able to choose which voice I listen to, I love the deep old male voice the most it feels like Father is speaking into my Spirt🔥.Version: 2012.12
✓ Excellent Audio Bible AppAudio Bible available in variety of languages, versions, & Bible readers. Good variety of options for Bible Reading/Listening Plans, and ways to grow and nurture more into Holy Scripture..Version: 2021.10
✓ Love this app thank you 😊Really love this app and the plans which are so helpful and so easy to follow with the nice soft background music - one of my favs 💕💕it’s great to just relax to at night.Version: 2021.13
✓ So thankful for this app!I first bought lifetime membership to this app years ago, but it has only been in the last year I have used it more consistently and am loving it! The creators truly have vision for the design, playlist choices, and overall experience for the user. I love the playlist options, especially the more recent releases of the “Holy Ordinary”, and can listen way more often than I can sit down and read my Bible. I’m very thankful for the creative vision God has given so that I have the opportunity to dwell in His Word. Thank you!.Version: 2022.21
✓ A wonderful app.Dwell is for everyone who enjoys listening to the bible being beautifully read. You can chose a reader, background music or none, as well as using plans and favourite readings. Unlike some other audible bibles you can easily find the passage you want and download it if you wish. Recommended..Version: 2020.03
✓ The Best!Dwell is my favorite app for listening to Scripture. I am still learning about it and there are features that are not quite as easy to find each time I open the app but it remains my favorite for several reasons: 1. Preferences - ability to choose a translation, a voice, and background music or sound, 2. The reader does not stop with one chapter (at least in the Psalms) but continues to the next in sequence. This has been such a helpful tool for falling asleep peacefully. 3. Anglican daily readings, 4. Reading/study plans - while I haven’t explored these yet, I appreciate the variety of options. I’ve tried other apps and some did not have options for voices (especially diverse voices from around the world) while others were just too overwhelming with flashy home pages full of such a variety, it was more difficult to navigate. This app has helped me through a very traumatic experience. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an app that helps you grow as a believer but especially those who have experienced trauma or loss and need help to remain grounded. Dwell is simple, yet offers tremendous comfort and healing. The cost is reasonable and a free trial is offered..Version: 2023.2.2
✓ A different perspectiveHere’s a perspective from what may be an unlikely source. I’m not a believer, and yet I love this app. I’ve never lost the habit of Bible reading I grew up with, AND I love audiobooks, AND I love comparing translations. This app puts them together in a unique and graceful way. One of the things I especially like is the ability to set up random playback: have it switch between different translations and voices from one chapter to the next, plus you get to pick which translations and voices to include in the mix. Another unique feature is the ability to control the type and volume of background music (or to choose none) independently of the voices. All in all, a lovely design and very usable. I hope additional translations are included in the future, but I can’t think of much else I would change..Version: 2022.21
✓ This app will bring tears to your eyesI don’t think I’ve ever written a review on anything before, but I felt compelled to after listening to the Psalm & Proverbs plan on this app this morning. I was so looking forward to this app bc I have recently made a commitment to read God’s Word daily. I have listened to a few audio Bible versions, but was really unhappy with the monotone voices that tend to sound insincere. The only word I know to describe this app is just “beautiful.” The voices sound so sincere and that is a BIG deal to me and the music is beautiful as well. I like how you can search for the books/scriptures you would like to listen to, or how they are categorized for you for easy access such as The Sermon On the Mount, the Woman at the Well, etc. Thank you and may God bless you guys for creating this app..Version: 1.0.3
😕 Dwell: Audio Bible Negative Reviews
