Bible - The Word of Promise® App Reviews

This is great. For when you promise yourself to read the bible. Ive been reading when Ive been waiting for a haircut or the bus. And when Ive just had some extra time. Theres some well known actors in the audiobook too. Cheers!!!

To God be the glory. This is surely the best bible audio software I have encountered. Praise be to the Lord. May this bring many more to the saving knowledge of Jesus the Christ through its hearing. God bless the project team.

Wonderful work of art, the audio acting is amazing. A great app!

We have the audio CDs of this which we have thorough enjoyed. They really make the Bible come to life. Having different voices for each person helps in following along and keeps the listener engaged. This is great for adults and even more appealing for use with children. When just reading a passage yourself you may not be able to grasp how the writer felt. Listening to the audio helps you for example feel the pain and sorrow of Jeremiah and makes you feel as if you are really on the sidelines watching David fight Goliath. What I like even more about this App in comparison to the audio CDS is being able to follow along in the Bible as I am listening. The App also bookmarks your place so you can stop and start again easier rather than trying to remember where you were on the CD. It also allows you to jump around and listen to various verses which was not possible on the audio CDs. The App also has reading programs such as reading the Bible through chronologically. I do hope they will continue to add more features and reading programs. Even though this App is costly, it is well worth the money spent!

I have never used an audio bible before but really wanted to try it because I wanted to spend more time with Scripture. This app is wonderful. And addictive! I cannot get enough of it. Thank you for making the Word of God come alive for me. Just one thing - add sharing options to Facebook and Pinterest.

Does it have continuous play without having to push play for every chapter

One of the best audio bible out there. Jesus voice...

Hate it when we have to purchase for CONTENT user to use the NoTE, but thank you fore update "highlight option"

I updated app on my iPad but not on my iPhone. On the new update it leaves out words from the Bible (and in the Bible it states nothing should be added or taken out of it) this is only in referencing to (who said, or who is saying, etc.) I guess that is why the Bible puts these references in so we know "who is saying, or who said" what. Also in the new update I am not able to highlight scripture in yellow, and the words in a different color, (blue) and have it continue on as the narrator speaks like before. I do not like the gray permanent highlighter! It is harder to read the gray with the black letters. On the study Bible, I do love Jesuss words in red and all the new added reference features. I listen and read this Bible every day also along with my husband. Please bring back the old features. The music, artists, and dramatization help me visualize bring,and feel Gods word to life!! Thank you for doing this for gods people. I highly highly recommend this Bible!! God bless you all!

I have had this all for a while and liked it until it quit working after I updated to iOS 8. So beware and try to find an option that is functional. And yes, I paid $40 bucks for both the OT and NT downloads.

since Im really not a reader Ive come to appreciate this audio Bible. the latest update has eliminated the feature of continuos play; I enjoyed starting the app & it would play until I stopped it... hope to get this feature back; soon. thank you •Relentless

To be honest I prefer the old version which automatically plays the next chapter. Now it looks like Ive to pull out my phone and tap the button for the next chapter, making it boring and unpleasant. Its so infuriating and I feel like Ive wasted my time and money($40+$19=$50) on this very Bible app. Please be mindful(mr. Software developer) and do something about it. For God is watching. Thank you...

I was in the habit of listening to this audio bible omw to sleep, while driving, cleaning, just doing other things and it used to play the entire bible continuously. Then all of a sudden about a week ago, the audio stops after each chapter. Sent an email though and they said that "there is a bug in the continuous play feature. The update is already in the market waiting to be released" I can appreciate that they responded immediately. I hope this update is released as quickly

I was concerned about the version 4.0.0 and screen real estate on iPhone and then auto advance issues with 4.0.2 but 4.0.3 is now back to being AWESOME. Wow… This is an awesome rendition of the Bible! The audio quality is amazing in HQ mode and the Bible comes alive and I feel like I am there witnessing the Word of God. FutureSoft has done a great job of bring the Word of Promise Bible to the mobile devices. I really like how the app highlights the exact verse that is being spoken so you can follow along with the text. Another great feature is that you can go to an exact verse in 4 touches of the screen and start playing at that verse. $39.99 is a small price to pay for such a masterpiece. Great job Thomas Nelson and FutureSoft!

Latest update really is awesome. Love the new Tree feature that allows you to get deeper into a verse. Thanks for fixing those bugs so quickly!!!! Also love the sleep timer as I use it often when going to sleep at night. What a blessing this app has been.

I love this app, and it has helped me in my spiritual walk. I was hesitant to spend this on this app, but it is very engaging and professionally recorded. Im very happy with this app!

This app is wonderful. It syncs with Bluetooth to allow me to listen to the Word while Im commuting. The actors voices are interesting.

I have used the free version of John. It is fantastic! With various actors reading the parts, it is as if I am there. The narrator is an older Apostle John (my perception), author of this gospel. The person cast to read this part does so with authority. Jesus is well-played & sounds like Jim Cavielzel. I would highly recommend this & am thinking of ordering the entire Bible app.

I spent quite a bit of time downloading NT audio. When I tried to access it all it would say is that I needed to purchase the content. Why did I spend $19.99! I would say it is quite buggy and my money wasted.

I really like this audio bible but I could do without the extra stuff like the devotionals, sermon videos, A.D. Trailer and audio sermons. I really miss the Word of Promise parable app. It was just an audio bible which I love and it was trying to do too much which I feel this app is. Simple is better.
