“The Truth & Life Dramatized audio Bible is entirely faithful to the text of the Holy Scriptures. The manner in which the text is performed, beautifully assists the listener in understanding the meaning of the divinely inspired words within their context. The background music and sound effects help the listener to imagine the setting of each particular text of the Holy Bible. I am happy to give my wholehearted endorsement to the audio New Testament.”
--The Most Reverend Raymond L. Burke,
Prefect of the Apostolic Signature of the Holy See

“We learn by hearing as well as reading. Those who desire to become true disciples of Jesus will want to learn from His words in every way. For anyone interested in beginning or continuing their adventure of faith, I highly recommend this faithful and powerful presentation of the Word of God.”
--The Most Reverend Charles Chaput,
Archbishop of Philadelphia

Great app. It is easy to navigate and it's great to have the full RSV2CE text at hand on mobile. One thing that is distracting is the little red tab for additional content. I wish there was a way to turn it off. Another thing that is confusing is the in-app purchase for the study Bible. When tapping the purchase, it only says New Testament, and there is no separate purchase for the Old Testament, so I am a bit wary of making the purchase and finding that I only get one.

Great translation and notes, but it is slow to load, has weird navigation, some content is hard to find (like book intros), no audio for the Old Testament, and get this: ABSOLUTELY NO STUDY NOTES FOR THE PSALMS. (!!??) Also, don't waste your money on "Audio Study Notes", they're just little clips of sermons, often repeated, and only linked to a few New Testament verses. Great video content but only for "rent". Bummer. Both fantastic and disappointing. I hope they upgrade this promising app.

The content is great but the layout and buttons are not very intuitive. The app continually freezes on me, especially in the home screen. It's frustrating to use, too because everytime I want to look up a verse it takes me through the same buttons (I.e. Choosing which bible, which testament, etc.)
