2024-04-01 | Gail Mangan | I was having issues with app giving me a blank screen. I did uninstall and then reinstall. App gave me an option to start from beginning or to choose the correct day when I opened app after reinstalling. I picked the last day offered and that was the most current day. That way, I did not have to start from the beginning. Other than this, the app is great and I've always enjoyed Nicky and Pippa. Is there something wrong with the audio? I'm unable to play it. How it gets fixed soon. | |
2024-04-01 | Becky Bateman | I've been working through the plan since the beginning of the year. I started on Spotify but for some reason the episode for the day stopped being published until sometime the following day even though the date of publishing showed it was the day preceding. Anyway I found this app and it was working well for awhile but now it randomly pauses the audio for no reason, which has become frustrating. I enjoy the content but the app is bothersome currently. | |
2024-01-21 | Dustin Williams | I love the concept, but by the day 2 reading I've become so frustrated about the scrolling that I've deleted the app. If it were just a simple scroll, it would be just fine, but the app jumps between sections when scrolling within a section. It'll normally jump backwards as well. For example, in the day 2 Old Testament reading, the app kept jumping back to the header page before the reading once I had gotten to about halfway through the reading. Reading the Bible shouldn't be frustrating. | |
2023-12-20 | May Cantu | I love this app but since it updated in having so much issues! Instead of scrolling to read I have to use two fingers just so it won't kick me right back to the beginning of the chapters. It's absolutely annoying since I do my reading right before bed to spend time with God. I don't know how to fix it as I tried uninstalled and reinstalling. Just wish it was like it was before where I didn't get frustrated while reading the one thing that make me not frustrated! | |
2022-04-16 | Douglas Gammage | I have been using this app for years and enjoying. However now two things are now troubling it's use.. Proverbs verses have railroad track symbols at the beginning of every other line.now. Secondly, at the bottom of my screen now, I have a button for audio, which blocks some of the scriptures from being read. I now have to keep scrolling the text out from under the button, which I don't need or want. Thank you for Bible in One Year. | |
2022-02-20 | Helen Ingham | I changed my review back to 5 stars. The app is running without issue again and I am happy to listen to it every night. Thank you for fixing it! The last update did something terrible to this once great app. It no longer loads on my pixel 5. All I see is a white screen. I've reinstalled it but having to do it daily is getting old. Please fix this issue. It looks as though I am not the only person having problems. | |
2022-01-13 | Doug McConnell | The app continues to be very difficult to count on. The "long press-force stop" solution works intermittently. However, the app does not allow multiple listenings of the day. When the day's reading ends after "Pippa Adds" it will not replay. The play button just goes blank. This program along with Nicky's prayerful and insightful commentary is wonderful. The app however, is extremely frustrating. I see that the majority of the reviews are experiencing the same issues. Please, please fix them! | |
2021-12-12 | Debra Gomer | I love this app but I too have experienced the same technical difficulties as described in Warren's review below. Frequently the screen is blank when I open the app. The only alternative is to uninstall, then reinstall the application. This never happened in your older versions. I have an Android A32. Hopefully you can correct this very frustrating problem. If I didn't love this BIOY app so much, I would have given up on it. This us my fourth year of making it a wonderful part of my day. | |
2021-05-26 | Rebecca Jones | This is a great way to go through the Bible in a year. I especially like how Nikky and Pippa keep the commentary updated for each year. However, recently the app stopped working for me. I uninstalled and reinstalled and was able to get that day's study but then the loading issue happened again. I evil probably finish on it on the YouVersion to avoid the issue. Thanks for sharing this in different platforms so we can all still get the Word! | |
2021-04-08 | Aida Arroyo | I love this app, however, last year it was changed. I had been using it every night for several years. If I fell behind a day or so, especially when I was sick, I was able to back track and catch up. Now it's different. I don't know why it was changed. I read along at night bc their voices are so soothing. I started it again. I miss the consistency of reading the Bible nightly. I hope they'll change it back to the way it was. God bless you, anyway. It's a wonderful app. 😊 |
