Read Scripture App Reviews

As a woman of faith and a disciple of 10+ years what intrigued me was F.Cs overview prior to this download; when you can be taught to understand His word and have it resonate daily through your speech,actions and thoughts. I am a visual learner, so the graphics are appealing and the commentators voice has rhythm and expression. Steeling myself to not gobbling it all up at once; I am going to take my time. **suggestion** possibly inserting an area to jot down notes,questions,comments after each chapter might be useful to the reader. I am that reflective child of His;continually asking questions and wanting to better my understanding. BlessUp!

Appreciate this app a ton so far! Really love it he videos and map. Suggestions/notes (totally understanding that this is a "beta" version): - add ways to insert notes, link to Evernote, highlight, underline etc. - add a share feature within the app to share the app itself, and to share the videos possibly? - consider offering different translations or note which translation is being used - add a support/contact feature within the app - possibly a chat, group or discussion feature??? - the full map graphic is only partially available or visible (at least on iPad) Great job overall and huge thanks! Looking forward to what this vision will grow into - not just the app either

Woah this is a really wonderful tool theyve put together here. I can often feel a bit lost in the overarching story of the bible. Ive heard all the pieces and I know its all important. My brain just works and learns in a certain way that I cant really place all the pieces of the puzzle together on command. For context, Im a graphic designer and very much a visual and kinesthetic learner. What Ive seen of the Read Scripture content has given a really great primer that gives context to all of the reading. I was wishing something like this existed about a year or two ago. Glad theyve put this together. I like how simple everything is, not too many buttons or settings or notes or links etc. The videos and illustration are beautifully done and resonate with me.

Like the ease of use, set your own start date and reminders, everything is right there for you. Pleased so far!

Amazing Bible reading app! Highly recommend Thank-you so much.

Fantastic.

I watch these videos on YouTube, so I know theyre great, but the videos on this app dont have any sound. It needs an update that includes audio! Looking forward to it!

Amazing! I love the combination of watching and reading perfect!!

In response to the last reviewer, there is sound, but your phone cannot be on mute. Yore phone can be on mute when watching videos through Safari or the YouTube app, but not with this one. Also, the highlight function works sometimes. For example, when wanting to highlight in Genesis 2, I press and hold the text and it jumps all the way back to the beginning of the text (Im using an iPhone 6). Keep up the good work. The Year of Biblical Literacy and The Bible Project is something everyone should share with everyone they know! It seems to be easier to invite people into Gods great story rather than trying to convince them of the facts.... In Hebrew thought, if we can get you to fall in love with the Story first, the you are more open to see the facts.

I love the reading plan and the videos. The app still needs a little TLC – it keeps forgetting my reading progress (check marks just disappear after several days), it lacks a "night mode", Psalms lack paragraphing (helps in seeing the parallelism), the font size is not adjustable, and it doesnt include the theme videos referenced in the 2-page PDF plan. For now, Im using the PDF, and hoping the app gets better to the point where I can just use it instead.

I like the concept of having a section of scripture explained through a video before I read it. It actually motivates me to read my bible even more. The only issue is that it doesnt save your progress. Once I close the app, it will delete all the checks that tell me I have completed a section. This makes it harder to remember where I left off.

Waiting for an update so I can use this :)

The app itself is crashing for me too, Ive never been able to open it. So, Ive been accessing it through app support and enjoy it so much. Many have put a lot of work into a really great tool. The accompanying sermons through Reality SF are also wonderful.

I have not been able to open the app; it closes out whenever I try. Ive deleted and reloaded the app several times in hopes of it working. Im hoping it will start working soon because I have enjoyed the videos in YouTube and would love to use the app.

This app looks really great & my mom is the one who told me to get it. However, the videos in the app dont have any sound. I opened it in App Support & they do. All the other functions seem to work so far, so Ill probably just watch the videos here & do the reading on the app.

I love these videos. Unfortunately, the sound isnt available on my iPhone. Once that is cleared up, this will be spectacular. Cant wait for that day. Ill be putting on my kids phones as well. Bless you as you work through this process.

Love this app! Well thought thru. Driven by ideas and passion to see and experience God in scripture. Cannot wait to see what is to come

I cant wait till the content from the website/YouTube channel is on this app!! Im a monthly donor and Im happy to give to such a worthy cause! A couple of things Id like to see: 1) Chromecast compatible videos. I want to watch them on my big screen :) 2) I see the content on this app is organized differently than it is on the web. Id like to see it organized more like the web to make navigating easy. I say all this because I have opened the app once or twice and I find that navigation is confusing, so it distracts me enough that I close the app and say Ill get back to it later. I cant tell what videos are in the app yet, but what would be nice is for the videos to be categorized as they are on the site whether theyre the Bible book summaries, the previously recorded live Q&A videos, or the other series of videos :)

This app makes reading scripture fantastically engaging and accessible for everyone- those who know nothing about scripture and those who have been reading the Bible for years.

These videos are so helpful!! Sometimes the bible can get confusing- I love the clarification in the overall story. Excellent- so thankful to have found this. Sound does not work in the app itself- Im sure they are working on a fix
