YouVersion Bible Reviews 43

Too much AI in the devotionals. Bots teaching humans spiritual truths sounds robotics and feels impersonal. Makes God sound robotic, impersonal and unreal. Let alone denying real people a chance to minister seems cheap and lazy. Do you want to continue this disconnect with God and his people by improving technology? Or allow callings for people? Feels lazy and cheap.

found your sticker on a seashell, I don't consider polluting a beautiful beach very 'godly'

Some of us don’t even have extra $10 every month and asking us for $25 every month to spread the word of God is not welcoming. It turn off new born again and sinner’s alike. Let people donate if they feel like.

I like the ability to highlight and take notes on verses. I don't like to highlight my physical bible so if I'm reading in that and find a verse that I want to highlight or write a note on, I just open up the youversion app and make my notes there.

I do agree with others who've mentioned some questionable teachings for some of the bible plans. This is a great place to get into scripture regularly, but not a great place to learn sound doctrine. For example, I just read in one of the devotions today that Jesus spoke in parables because "there's power in a story". That is completely unscriptural and Jesus himself states why he spoke in parables. I don't know if the people who write these don't actually know scripture, or if they are misusing it for the sake of making a point in their devotion. But someone should be proof reading these to make sure that they are not teaching lies.

Tell Rachel Scott to slow down! I love your app but remember that not everyone can understand your USA accent when your words tumble out at 100mph!! I speak here for all the kiwis in NZ. Ngā mihi nui. Gary

I have a few Bibles. Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, whatever you like. I am a Bible scholar. I happen to have many of them. I hate spam. In just a few months, my firewall blocked 4,000 spams. " freely you have received, now, freely give". I don't like people that try to FORCIBLY charge money for the word of God. Every time that happens, I understand more what Jesus did when he overturned the money changers tables.

Can you explain 3,896 spams? I don't think you can. You are fired.

I will buy a good Bible when I see one. This isn't it. I hope we understand each other now.

I’ve noticed that within the Plans, some Bible verses are repeated. For example, the devotional and verses for Day 1 and Day 15 were the same. This is a bit disappointing, as there are hundreds of verses throughout Scripture that could be used to convey the message for that specific plan.

I love the app, daily verses and plans. It helps me to get my bible reading done. Most bible translations have an audio version as well. This app pairs greatly with Blue letter witch is more like a tool and less like a reminder.

Great App! Just needs an arrow, tap screen or continue button reminder to know how to get to the next page. Great job guys! This is such a blessing!!!🙏💕

I’ve tried many Bible apps—some were hard to swipe through, confusing to track progress, one even left out an entire book! Nearly impossible to get help.

YouVersion makes it simple to mark progress, highlight verses, and add notes. I follow the semiannual Chronological Bible Reading Plan, reading the entire Bible every six months.

If you’re searching for a Bible app that’s reliable, user-friendly, and spiritually enriching, I highly encourage you to try YouVersion.

God bless!

I agree with others - why do they keep adding functionality/complexity to the youversion app? Seems like every week, something new to deal with pops up. It's getting so cluttered, I'm starting to consider other bible apps.

I am very disappointed in this YouVersion bible app. I’ve been using them for almost 7 years. Recently I had a personal situation come up where another user has been harassing me by putting up a dark evil image as his profile picture and then his profile name has a curse word in it mocking my profile name. I contacted them a week ago to let them know, I “reported the user”. Nothing has happened yet except I got a response that was very cold and invalidating. YouVersion: “we do not discuss other accounts or any action we do or do not take.” I would hope they would have checked the account first and if they did and this is their response? It’s unethical of them. I checked and it’s still up.

I used to love the simplicity of having the Bible app tailored to my needs like the different versions, audio choice and a plan here and there. What has happened in the last couple of years is it has become so cluttered with plans, the UI is confusing, I dont know where I’m going if I tap somewhere and the random people talking is just confusing and takes me away from what I came to the YouVersion Bible for THE BIBLE. I understand the Bible has to reach people where they’re at but no amount of talking, blogging or discussion will be useful if the app is not designed to ACCESS the Bible quickly and navigate it easily always directing you to God’s Word. It’s all just NOISE and we all know that noise is confusion and confusion does NOT come from God.

It's so easy to get the Bible verses and to be inspired, besides I wasn't sure which one is the easiest to read

I have enjoyed YouVersion for many years… until recently. Since when is the unadulterated Word of God not sufficient to speak truth alone? Why has YouVersion started adding bracketed description “enhancers” to daily Bible verses? These additional phrases pollute the pure meaning of God’s Word, make it impossible to remember the verse throughout the day and negate the work of the Holy Spirit in illuminating the verse to the human heart. PLEASE STOP ADDING THESE UNNECESSARY AND DISTRACTING BRACKETED ENHANCERS!!!!

i used to love this app untill ZECHARIAH the vocie changed to not being able to say chapter 1 or 14 they need to change it back

Used to love this app before I discovered many false teachers. Some devotional writers promote New Age beliefs such as contemplative prayers. You can’t be all things to all people

Nice but still should improve .I need Bible for kids learning and understanding

The ap was great trough years

The update this year ruined the ap.
Other Colors to many writing styles, app hangig, when i chose a reading readingplan once he comes 10 times in the public view. Also a postet Bibelvers and many more and.he comes 7 until 10 times.

Very sad

From 5 to may 2.5 points

This was the best app. The last update completely messed it up. I use to use it almost daily and recommend to so many. But now I'm looking for a new one. Such a shame nothing needed to be changed.
