Reviews: What People Think About Scourby YouBible
Fill This House
Rating: 3/5
I’d read reviews of this app when purchasing it and was warned to not let it update. So, for years, I did not. Unfortunately, when purchasing a new phone, it was automatically updated. Like other Scourby Bible app purchasers, I was upset when I realized that features that I’d originally purchased with the app were no longer available to me (the timer and the looping). I only got a pop-up telling me to purchase these through a yearly subscription. I was extremely disturbed for a long time. There was no help from the reps. But, on principle, I refuse to pay yearly subscription fees for features that I’d enjoyed for many years and which were included in my original purchase. Thankfully, I can use my phone’s timer and set it to “stop playing” after the set time. Also, there is now text missing. Many verses end without completion. And there are countless errors in the recordings. And when doing searches for scripture words or phrases that are definitely in this app text, it comes up with nothing (i.e. “Lot’s wife”). Just too bad that whoever’s got oversight of this app do not bother to read, listen to, or fix these issues.

My wife got me this app a few years ago and was very happy with it till this last update. I reached out via email to the developer and they responded with great speed and super friendly(as you would expect being it’s a Bible app). The resolved all the issues I had and even took the time to explain and instruct me in using some of the other features that had been added. I would highly recommend getting this app if you want to have the Bible with you and being able to listen to it is a plus.
I personally like to create playlists of either words or phrases I am studying and I can listen to them while I operate equipment or just driving. That’s a huge blessing. Faith comets by hearing of the word of GOD.
We are in a free country and we need to take advantage of it while the time is available.

So I purchased this app back when everything was included in the high price($20) for this app. Then with some of the recent updates it suddenly needs to be a subscription. I reached out to them the first time this happened and they never responded but my app suddenly unlocked and was back to the original “everything included” except for a few features. Now today I got back on to do my reading and it’s back to wanting me to do a subscription for something I already paid for. This is very dishonest and if this is a subscription based app it should be less than $10 for the interface of the app and then the other features (Bible reading plan, speed, etc) be subscription. Scourby’s recording has been around so long and I’m sure they’ve made money on this charging $20 for the full app. Now they get greedy and start double charging. They must not read the content of this app. I’m very frustrated because before I’ve had these problems I would have rated this 4-5 stars and only mentioning a few bugs in the system, but now it’s not something I would recommend. I could buy the recording elsewhere and reading along I’m a free Bible app or a hard copy Bible. Much cheaper and not a rip off.
