Ratings and Reviews
A blessing, but I have a little complaint.
Actual blessing to everyone, God has used saints to share His holy word, it’s the best item in the world.
Though with the app, when I copy a verse it does not add “ “ quotation marks automatically when I paste it.
Thank you God bless you sincerely, for your work to honour our Lord.
Daily Reading good but some suggestions
It would be nice if the daily reading had a few more options... like automatically checking off what was listened to (not just read), and having the option for it to keep playing if you want to go through several days of reading plans worth at a time. Then setting up the home screen so that it doesn't take so many clicks to find where you left off before... just resumes where you left off. Otherwise really like the app. Maybe these improvements could come in future versions. Would also prefer the option to buy study resources instead of yearly subscription.
Missing bible verses?!
Great app, except it’s missing bible verses! That’s rather alarming as I never thought to question the authenticity of the bible! Example: Matt 18: 11 ?!
