One of the best Bible apps on mobile. Easy and intuitive to use, great audio options (including voices and music). Another thing is the selection of study bibles, plans, and audio playlists. I personally don't use any of the "premium" content, but it can be useful to some, and it's good that it's available so conveniently. One thing I wish could be implemented is a side scrolling option, so that I can "turn" pages rather than scroll down. All in all it's a good app, highly recommended.

Android version is less friendly. It doesn't always save progress in your reading plan, you have to scroll through every day starting from Jan 1 every time you open your reading plan, you can only read one passage of your daily reading at a time instead of being able to scroll through and read the next passage right after, and the listen function doesn't work.

This app used to be my morning read every day, but recent updates have broken it to the point where it doesn't work for my workflow anymore. Reading plans don't scroll to the current day. Passages brought up by the reading plan do not have headings. I can't have the library tab take up half the screen like before. I submitted bug reports with screenshots over three months ago and Crossway doesn't care enough to address the Android app. Not worth paying money for.
