I started the free trial which i did not like having to create and account and put in a credit card. I then chose a voice and a version but it wouldn't stop playing in the background and it repeated the same sentence over & over. I wanted to listen to something else but the 2 were playing. I had to restart my phone to stop it. UPDATE: I sent a bug report. They said my phone needs to have OS15. I have an older phone OS10. My phone says its up to date. I have free YouVersion Bible app that works.

I love Dwell! The content available in addition to Scripture is very encouraging and informative. My only complaint is that recently, the app has started chiming after each verse, which makes it difficult to hear the scripture being read. I've turned it off in the options menu, but it keeps happening. Would love to know a way to turn it off for good :)

I have really loved this app, but I've dropped to 3 stars because lately I feel like navigation within the app has gotten a lot more difficult. There's just to much clutter now. I have a hard time just figuring out how to play a book of the Bible. It's a lot of taps to find, and then it does weird things with the queue and doesn't play what I want. I'm hoping they can figure out how to get back to the basics with this.
