User reviews
It's what I expected it to be. These books should be included into the general Bibles for the world to gain knowledge.
I installed the app and opened the app, and it asked for a rating. I've not had time to explore the app, so I can not yet determine its viability for translation quality nor the search mechanism ease or lack thereof. Is the font readable? No clue. Can I personalize the app? Make notes? Follow footnotes? No idea right now. Are there ads? Are they discreet, or do they take over my potential reading experience? Hopefully, there is an affordable subscription fee to avoid advertising altogether.
