Love It

I have listened to this so many times since I purchased it that I've lost track. The scriptures come to life and make you feel as if you are experiencing it first hand.

Perhaps the Greatest to Date

This is perhaps the greatest Audio Bible I have ever heard in my life. I have been listening to this for 10 years, and I am still astonished at how profoundly I am blessed everyday by God for such a sterling performance by the world's best voice-actors. I wish I could give it 10 stars. This is your choicest Audio Bible, as it has indeed been for me. May God bless all.

Great book

The chapters are not full length; they cut off early. other than that it's a great listen.

APP problems- but performances were awesome

I had to re-download every day to listen - but the performance was excellent. It truly brought the words of the Bible to life with appropriate sounds (battle, animals, crowds, etc) and passion in the voices of those narrating.

Missing chapters

The last chapters of psalms are missing. I hope this will soon be fixed. I like parts of this recording but find background effects and some music to be distracting and at times overpowering, annoying and unpleasant. For instance, in Amos, the music is awful in my opinion.
I also don’t like the heavy beat and style of music in some sections. Other sections are great and engaging.
I appreciate how the attention to detail in this recording helps to engage the listener. There is such power in the Word of God!
I like how the books and chapters are clearly labeled.

Outstanding

The use of background music and different voices for the multiple characters bring to the Bible to life. It leaves you with a deeper understanding and discernment of what is happening.

Audio quality issues

I’m still looking for that perfect audio book Bible -this one unfortunately didn’t work for me as it has inconsistent audio volume of the different speakers and the background music sometimes makes it difficult for me to discern the speaker

Hard to listen.

Many of the voices are shrill or annoying.
Some are scary. Ambitious experiment but not my favorite.

Keeps crashing

I love the content and design. This Bible has a TOC with names unlike others where I have to guess or create bookmarks for chapters. Unfortunately this Bible keeps crashing and directs me to support. I have uninstalled and installed 3-4 times along with signing in and out. I may have to return if unable to resolve with customer service.
