“The Truth & Life Dramatized audio Bible is entirely faithful to the text of the Holy Scriptures. The manner in which the text is performed, beautifully assists the listener in understanding the meaning of the divinely inspired words within their context. The background music and sound effects help the listener to imagine the setting of each particular text of the Holy Bible. I am happy to give my wholehearted endorsement to the audio New Testament.”
--The Most Reverend Raymond L. Burke,
Prefect of the Apostolic Signature of the Holy See

“We learn by hearing as well as reading. Those who desire to become true disciples of Jesus will want to learn from His words in every way. For anyone interested in beginning or continuing their adventure of faith, I highly recommend this faithful and powerful presentation of the Word of God.”
--The Most Reverend Charles Chaput,
Archbishop of Philadelphia

I was given the open Bible from my pastor when I graduated from high school and until I discovered this gem of an Bible application I thought it was the most profound repository of the Bible in the English language. This application offers an inexpensive study Bible upgrade for not more than twenty bucks or so and Includes more notes, study materials, lighthouse talks, many featuring the notorious Dr. SCOTT HAHN, a gifted teacher. The new testament offers readings by trained voice actors. Wow..

Great app. It is easy to navigate and it's great to have the full RSV2CE text at hand on mobile. One thing that is distracting is the little red tab for additional content. I wish there was a way to turn it off. Another thing that is confusing is the in-app purchase for the study Bible. When tapping the purchase, it only says New Testament, and there is no separate purchase for the Old Testament, so I am a bit wary of making the purchase and finding that I only get one.

Out of all the apps I have tried, this one is clearly the best. Though the ui is pretty good, it could improved in a lot of ways. Especially if you could let the user switch to the next chapter by swiping horizontaly. Also I wish the audio feature was cheaper. I am from India, and the price is just ridiculous for me. But from the preview I can see the audio is really good. The only other thing is, I would it to go straight to the Bible when I open it instead of to the main menu. Nice, God bless!
