Love the modern look of the app and its simplicity in helping me read the Bible daily. But why does it offer such old english version of the Bible which makes it hard to read directly thru the app, when the display is so modern?? Or do i just not know how to switch to a different Bible version? Also wish it offered an additional feature to see my progress as a whole (like a pie chart or % total or something) as another incentive to keep reading. Right now i have to use 2 additional apps for that - one for easier bible reading and one for chart profress display. Wish this app would offer all.

I absolutely love this app. While it’s weird that the reminder for the reading comes at 5 AM every day, it does guarantee that I’ll see it as soon as I get up, and I can easily leave the notification there as a reminder. The next great thing is that when you click one of your readings for the day, it takes you directly to the YouVersion Bible app if you already have it (not sure if it does this for other Bible apps, never tried), which is obviously very convenient. Once you set your start date for the plan, you can change it at any time, which allows for some human error in not finishing Bible readings for the day. The app also has you “mark as completed” at the end of each day, which is very satisfying. Cool story: My Bible reading used to be kinda spontaneous. First I was going through the Old Testament in a year, and at some point I decided to add in reading a chapter of the New Testament every day. I decided to download this app, so that I would have my plan laid out for me and be more motivated to complete it. Despite the complete unpredictability of how I had been reading the Bible before, the reading for that day perfectly lined up with the random places I was in the Old and New Testament. Later I’ve been able to see how that was truly a sign of God’s intervening, because this app has helped me connect to Him throughout the day and actually read the Bible every day.

I have tried reading the entire bible for years only going so far before stopping. The previous version I used was difficult to read making it difficult to retain what I read. In February I felt myself sinking into a slow depression because all of the things going on in the world was overwhelming me. I then decided to start using Yearly and my NIV version bible to read the bible in a year and what a difference it has made in my life. I start everyday with my daily reading and it gets my day started with a calm spirit. The male reader is excellent ! His voice is very calming. The proper pronunciation of the biblical names and cities is an added bonus. I will share this experience with my frinds and family !
