A lot of awesome biblical resources, especially with the plus subscription! However, the app suffers some functionality issues. I'm on the Z Fold6 and the app doesn't rotate at all, full open or not, and the app apparently doesn't support multi-window viewing. Pretty sad deal considering the amount of resources available to the developers. Edit: continued trying to use it and is unusable on a smartphone in the way I need it to be. I regret paying for a subscription.

EDIT: Great support team! They resolved my problem quickly and clearly. Thanks guys! <<< Love the app! Mainly use it for listening since it's the only app with an audio Bible for NKJV. Also enjoy the access to Matthew Henry Commentaries. 2 things I'd change: 1. Allow setting to only listen to 1 chapter/book instead of auto playing, or even select separate books/chapters to listen to. 2. Add Daily Verse widget! Wish I didn't have to use another app for that.

The ads have taken over. I initially learned that they had added ads during a church service when trying to look up a verse and an ad started up at top volume. After quickly muting it, the ad had an X in the upper corner. I tried to click it, but, instead of closing the ad, it took me to the advertizer's website. I now know to mute the phone before trying to use this app and to just plan on waiting 30-60 seconds for the ad to cycle through to the point where you can really close it.
