Joyful child of the King,
Perplexed
After years of considering this the best app and main reason for encouraging others to have an iPhone, I am quite perplexed at what has happened to this app. I am wondering why the changes. I can possibly understand the financial need for asking for a minimum fee. Yet, I do not understand the changes made to the format in downloading the playlist. I was continually encouraging others to purchase this app, but I can only do this now with hesitation and warning. I am finding it cumbersome and time consuming to add to the playlist. Maybe I do not understand how it actually works now. Although, I have had others share the same concerns and disappointment. I have used this app for so many years, but I am now praying that the developers will go back to the original set up and design. Thank you for making the authorized KJV version of the Holy Bible available and for the time & work involved to produce can app with such eternal value. I do hope that I will be able to download as before soon.

Times Change
The company has now gone to a subscription based program. I wasn't very happy to discover this when I went to select one of my playlists and I got a pop-up alert asking me to purchase the functionality which I previously owned. So I tried the looping feature and received the same type of alert. I figured it was due to some type of software or network glitch. So I sent the developer a quick email asking them to please restore my purchases.
The developer was quick to respond and explain that a warning was sent out a year ago with one of the updates stating they would be going to a subscription based app due to increasing costs and the level of work required to maintain the app and keep it current. Yeah, I wasn't too happy about this at first and had to consider it for a few days. However, after much consideration I decided the decision to go to a subscription based process was necessary. Each time a new IOS update is delivered I'm certain the developer must conduct a lot of testing followed by a tweak of the app software to keep it working. I never recall any failures of this app. I have tried other audio Bible apps and there is just no comparison to the high quality, user features and reliability of the Scourby Bible app. Considering the benefits I have received, I will continue to be a loyal and thankful customer. God's word is worth the subscription offerers! His word never returns void!
Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God!

christinaess,
Still doesn't function like it used to
I gave it a chance. I submitted videos. They were not hard to understand. Since my lengthy time reviewing this updated version, my mom ended up almost dying and I eventually moved her with me. Since then not one of the fixes I mentioned over a year ago has been implemented. I will be deleting. The Word of God is important. How I read / learn / like was with Scourby before the change. I don't mind small amounts to keep things going but the other bible app I'm using now at least stops where its supposed to and goes back to where I began not past that point. I have access to all features and donations are encouraged. Like I said free Apps only will eventually cease from working. One time paid apps the same. In order to keep apps going you must help out the developers. Also... again... I am deleting because implementations were not ever done. I do think donations should be encouraged. I do not mind if its a yearly thing but instead of charging to get the item and charging a yearly fee why not build that in? $20 for the first year and $10 each additional year. It is turning some people away that think apps are forever. People need to understand that apps to keep them running are like games... yes you buy the initial but to keep tech support up they have to keep adding more content and charge for that content. However, how much more content can a person add to scourby? It needs reimagined.

Dishonest practices
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.

Dishonesty from a Bible app?
I purchased this app many years ago and enjoyed all the features I had PAID for at the time. Now with the update, I can no longer without a paid subscription as many other dismayed owners of the app have mentioned. Do you even recognize that people had previously purchased the app??? What did I even purchase? A more honest approach would have been to treat your grandfathered owners of the app as sincere customers and only have any new ‘owners’ subscribers to the app pay the large monthly fee while offering your cherished grandfathered owners any new features for a subscription price, features they didn’t previously enjoy. What a sign of the times it is to feel hustled by a Bible app!! I would have gladly paid $50 for the app when I bought it at the time, if that’s what you needed to maintain the app, knowing I wouldn’t feel duped years later!! What’s next? I buy my home and then am told years later that it’s moving to a subscription plan and I now have to pay rent?? I know the analogy isn’t exact but I hope you understand the frustration and disappointment. I have recommended this app to many family who decided to PURCHASE it as well, but I will not recommend it any longer.
Scourby Bible App Lover,
People complaining must be the competition
There’s no better app Bible App in the playstores. The Scourby Bible app is the best, no bible app has a playlist like the Scourby Bible app, and no better narrator than Alexander Scourby. All these complaints about charging a small yearly fee for feature subscriptions is quite Ludicrous. I wonder what Jesus is thinking about that? Is there any business that can sell a product one time and then expect it to be maintained for life. I am a software developer, and I know the cost to maintain software, and it’s very expensive. We all pay for subscriptions every month for our TV programs, cable net work and monthly cell phone bills, how long could those companies be in business if they just charged one time for their services? I bought the entire bundle of 10 app features, and they all work great and I believe it’s well worth the small yearly payment. Stop with all the complaining, you sound like the competition trying to attack the best Bible App In the play stores.
ER of Arkansas,
Love the content (Bible), hate the app
This is the most expensive app I have ever purchased. I had it on my phone and my iPad. I paid for the extra speed on my iPhone because I had it on my iPad. After an update, extra speeds were removed from my iPad - forcing me to buy it if I wanted to keep it. Spoke to the developers and basically they said tough luck.
Now after a couple of years they change the speed so there is a 3-second delay between each and every verse. It is extremely annoying. Do the developers ever listen to their product before releasing. The app upgrade said they added the delay at a user’s request so they could think about the verse. That is ridiculous to change an app so they could do so. First off, those users could play the verse at a slower pace. Why offer a faster speed only to put a 3-second delay before each verse at 1.5 speed. I did not test f the delay remains the same in all speeds. It doesn’t matter. This needs to be fixed. There are lots of good Bible apps out there that are free. I paid more than $20 for the app and speed upgrade. Please fix it.

Up&attem,
I paid $20 already!
I bought this app in 2013 for $20. This is the ONLY APP IN WHICH I have ever paid so much for because I loved it and had to have it. All of the features were included in my purchase including sleep timer which I like to set to keep the app from going on continuously. The company now wants me to pay for the privilege of using certain features which were already a part of my original purchase. This is robbery and an infringement on the original purchaser’s rights. I did not rent to own the app I purchased the complete app and all of it’s components. Perhaps if additions of substantial quantity and proponents were added in and made available for purchase it would be fair, but I purchased everything offered from the get go and the company has severed it into continual profitable pieces to increase revenue without any thought or respect for the previous customers and their originally purchased app with all inclusive content. I am so disappointed! There should at the very least be a plan of grandfathering in past customers to allow them full access to the complete app that was already purchased. I feel cheated!
wbnip,
Very Pleased
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.

Karas74,
Double charged….
Like many others here, I paid $20 for the full app some time ago. Now, to use the features I PAID for, I have to go to a subscription to get those features back.
If I had never purchased before, and subscription was the current business model, I could see purchasing the year subscription under those conditions. However, having already purchased the fully functioning app under the previous model, it’s in poor taste and judgment not to honor my original purchase, as well as the full-app purchases of others who have also expressed their dissatisfaction. Shady practice. Before I’ll buy a subscription service to this, I’ll take that $20 back, since apparently we’re now in the business here of taking away products already paid for.
Based on comments in other reviews here about developer responses, this is likely falling on deaf ears and there are plenty of other good, similar options out there from people who haven’t slapped their customers in the mouth.
