5/5Read Scripture Review
I give this 5 Stars. A really great app. Probably the best for reading the whole Scripture. Our whole church is going through this right now. We started in January. At the first of the year, one always knew where we were because the Psalms number was the same as the number of the day of the year. That is Feb 28 was day 58. This only works if you start at the first of the year. A lot of people do not. In the second half, if you got behind and were trying to catch up, it was hard to know your target, and it was hard to get in sync with the rest of the Church. May I suggest: when one starts the app, inter the date and add a calendar to the program so you can refer to it and keep up, knowing where you should be. Also the videos are so tiny I have to use a magnifying glass to read them. Please allow us to enlarge them. Maybe you could allow a full size print out of the visual, as well, (or a video download). Allow us to highlight and copy and paste a passage for memorizing. Other then that you deserve SEVEN stars. God bless you and your families.

4/5GREAT app, AMAZING videos, POOR arrangement!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this app!! The videos are absolutely AMAZING and are so incredibly helpful. I have been studying the Bible, in and out of formal theological training, for many years, and I learned many things through the videos. However, I’m only able to give it 4 ⭐️ for two, what I consider to be somewhat major, shortcomings. First, you are unable to copy, highlight, or make notes about any texts that you find impactful as you read and study. This was very disappointing, and limits the app to just being useful for straight reading, not meditating on the Word. Second, and perhaps more annoying, the arrangement of readings for each day were usually fine, but occasionally it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! The worst one I found was after reading two short chapters of Malachi on back to back days, you’re then hammered with the first TEN chapters of 1 Chronicles the next day. I like the idea of putting Chronicles at the end of the OT, but was it really necessary to schedule TEN chapters with 40 to 80 verses per chapter all in the same day? I found several places throughout the reading plan similar to this. Very short reading days followed by very long reading days. It makes for a much more fluid devotional time when the daily reading takes at least somewhere close to the same amount of time each day. I almost quit and switched to a different reading plan after 1 Chronicles. I would recommend this plan, and especially the videos to everyone, but I’ll be sure to look ahead IF I ever use it again, and divide up the daily reading volume a bit more evenly from day to day.

5/5Love this app! And…
I really appreciate this app. I found it during this surge in AI and have found that reading the Bible through this app combined with having AI to ask all my questions to (with a deep critical eye to its responses) has really opened my eyes about the Bible and completely shifted my relationship with scripture. I’m also able to piece together historical details and really get a sense of biblical times and God’s purpose and intentions. I feel this is really important in today’s world where god and the Bible are really being trivialized. There are a couple of things I wish for: 1-a scroll feature on the side so I can see how much of the section is left to read. 2-the ability to check off chapters as I read them. I get that these chunks are meant to be read in one sitting but life means i usually have to break it up more than that. Not to mention, I really go in with AI and have some deep and specific questions so it takes me longer anyway. So I’d like to not have to scroll through 4 chapters m trying to remember my place each time.

5/5After reading through Genesis a million times, I’ve finally completed the whole Bible! 😄
When I recommitted my life to the Lord at 17, I plowed through the Bible in four months. In the many years since, I’ve tried, tried, and retried to reread it, without success. I’d print out a paper copy of a reading plan and start strong- then I’d lose the paper. Or I’d get off track and, by the time I’d get back to it, I’d feel like it had been so long, I should start over. I’ve seriously probably read Genesis at least 20 times. 😝(ADHD here- hyper focused teenager, distracted adult.) Then a friend posted about this app on fb and I decided to try it. True to form, I’d get off track here and there. But the app was always ready and waiting to continue on when I’d get back to it. It took me way longer than a year to get through it, but the part I care about is that I actually made it past Genesis, lol. I prefer reading a hard copy, so I usually use the app more as a tracker, but it is nice to be able to do the reading in the app if I’m out and about and find myself with time to read. Just as a tracker alone, I’d rate this app highly, but the Bible Project videos that are throughout add so much. And it’s easy to use and looks good. I finished reading through the whole Bible today, for the first time in 26 years! Definitely wouldn’t have happened without the app. Thank you! (I never review anything, so consider the fact that I did, an extra star. 😆)

5/5God Lives Through This App!
I was reading in my YouVersion Bible plan, and stumbled upon a video. It was an amazing overview of the books, within really cool animations. I showed my 10-year-old a few videos from the app, and he was in awe of the Comic-book-style renderings. He said it made the Bible so much more readable because it became fun. (But I have to admit, I think I'm more hooked on these videos than he is.) There are various artistic creations - from what look like comics, to beautiful scenes that look like they were painted in watercolors. Of course, the app isn't just a bunch of videos. Do you ever look at scripture and wonder why there are line breaks and poetic-style passages? Well, not any more. Put into actual paragraphs, the Bible is an amazing read. Almost like a novel. Because of that, I find that I'm much better absorbing, and comprehending, what I read. The Bible has always been a bit off to me because of the style. Now I actually enjoy reading it. Reading and watching is available at your own pace. Want to skip to books & chapters and read stories of what you feel is more important to you at different times? Go ahead. You can always go back and see anything you've skipped, (and also re-read the ones you haven't.) I don't have even one negative to present. This is by far my favorite app of all time, and I hope everyone realizes the amount of time, effort, and super creativity that has been put into it. A+++++++
