This was a great app. Now, 2020, it is too slow and it is difficult to get around. Why do you have to go to a different menu just to change from Old Testament to New Testament? I used to Bible drill with a persons phone/pad and a Bible book, and this app was very fast. Now if I try to use this at church the text is not found soon enough before the pastor has moved on to new text leaving you struggling(waiting due to loading issues)to get to that one, and bottom line you miss the message and have been distracted by a phone/pad! Not good changes! Please consider removing these changes. Also this was so easy for my children as young as four to open, turn on, and listen to Bible before. Now five and having difficulty finding the correct section( menu) to get to the the books, then having to select OT or NT and then he ends up leaving the pad laying because it is stuck in loading. Resulting in No Bible was listened to. You ask yourself is that what you wanted? What happened to the non drama/music KJV. It doesn’t say that when you select it, but that is what it is, distracting music/dramaish style. More options please.

In order for this application to be accessible with voiceover, three things need to be done. The media player icon is not visible to the screen reader user very easily without having to essentially weasel through the window. The way that the design is unfortunately does not permit voiceover users to find easily the option to play because everything is all combined into one window. We will need to make final adjustments to that. One app you might use as a reference for how you might want to design is the Bible Gateway app. Their player is a separate window by itself. And then you can adjust the audio player that you choose. I suggest this as an idea because unfortunately when you have a design such as this it is not very user-friendly. No I have heard from many people that visually the application looks nice and very well organized. But the downside is unfortunately voiceover users will not be able to use this app very efficiently, without having to as I said deal with things getting in the way such as the screen at the far right-hand side where the welcome text is. This app looks like it’s more designed for tablets as opposed to phones. But it’s designation. As I said unfortunately I did not see a player icon, there was a download icon. But there is not an actual play button. Where you could actually play the audio. Unfortunately anyway. If you need further suggestions, let me know.

For years this app has been a 5 star daily lifeline to the Bible and many great features but recent upgrades especially the current one May 2020 has taught me that developers are not acting prudently. In a past upgrade simple problems began to emerge like searches causing program crashes and the removal of features that didn’t make any sense were in explicable and no replies to my attempts to reach out. Now, such a trend accelerates to unacceptable levels as the most recent upgrade has been disastrous for me. Frequent crashes, freezes and difficulty navigating forced me to use the browser version (which is better in some ways and worse in others). I tried the typical fixes to no avail. The only reason I didn’t give a 1 star rating here is out of my respect and deep appreciation for how this app served me in the past. This review could be so much longer if I went into detail on specifics. I’m just so disappointed as I loved this app and now struggle to use it at all let alone on a daily basis as I have in the past (since the most recent update). I hope it’s just me but thought it important to write this review in case others are are experiencing it. Peace!
