NIV - Read it/Hear it GoBible App Reviews

26 add

Amazing!

I have to say, this is the most amazing App I have ever seen! I have listened to the Bible for years and have purchased the GoBible units as gifts and for personal use. This iPhone app is by far the best Bible listening experience I have come across. The narration is excellent and the read along feature where the verse is highlighted is very helpful. I prefer KJV but the NIV is a good listening version. I hope they come out with a KJV soon.

Great!

My go to Bible app!

For me Go Bible is the best Bible app out there!

I love this app and use it every day. Its reliable and it doesnt need Internet connection to read aloud. It has a few little quirks here and there but Ive been using it for years and have learned to work around them. When I find at glitch I send Go Bible a note, they have always responded and seem grateful to for the information. This is a good company and I have purchased several other products from them as well.

Letter Size

Please give us the choice in letter size (from small to very large). Otherwise, I like it! Thank you!

Very nice

Its expensive but useful and nice app if you like listening to audio bible. I think its well designed with useful functions. Suggestion: 1. Is it possible to have more options for the bible reading plan? E.g. Having the ability to read the bible in 90 days & etc. 2. And the biggest complaint is that when the reader goes from one verse to the next, there is a slight pause in the audio that is hard to get use to. I know that one postive functionality is to scroll to any verese in the chapter and you can pick up the audio from there. But, the slight pause is really annoying when you are listening. Can you do something about that? Otherwise, its agreat app, but not perfect.

yay!

just got this on sale. definitely worth it at the lower price too! its not the prettiest app, but the content is great. breaking the bible down by story and topic is great. and the search is very cool.

Terrific

this program makes carrying The Bible with you everywhere now possible. Access to inspirational texts are quickly available and can be listened to in privacy. Topics for sermons and discussions are quickly available with many useful references. We will be using this program tonight in our mens Bible study group. It is amazing. Thanks.

Awesome

Worth every penny. Reading plan and search are great. Audio is fine - I dont even notice the gap as the 1 reviewer said

Awesome

this is an awesome audio bible, great voice tone, it also has text unlike some bibles are just audio. Only con is not have this bible in NRSV because i would get both. also the 1 second delay inbetween every verse the cons are an actually con it still worth buying it would make a benefit but 5 stars

Important features missing

This app is missing some basic reader functionality, like the ability to restart a reading from where it left off. If you get an interruption or switch apps, there is no way to restart where you were. Im told that a new version with this capability has been sent to Apple for approval. Most excellent app when resume is incorporated.

Mute button please!

Excellent ap! I would like to see a mite button for use during Church or Bible Study. Easy to add....please!

LOVE this app!

I love being able to listen to the bible while Im getting ready for work in the morning. And Im really happy that it picks up where it left off now. This app is worth every bit of the price!

Needs to work in the background.

I love this app. Especially nice to know how to pronounce some names and locations in the bible that I was unsure about before. Would be great if this app would work in the background. Five star app if that ability was given.

Great app

You can book mark were you left off at by hitting the pause button on the verse you want to stop at then hit book mark button and it shows the verse you left off at, just bookmark that verse. I like how it highlights the verse as it reads the text makes it easy to follow.

kick it up a notch!

I love that this version is indexed by verse,not chapter. Would love it even more if it was dramatized. I know the other version that is dramatized is only indexed by chapter. Better yet, just combine all the features of this app with the features of the dramatized version & just make it one big app! Also having the option to search a book alphabetically,on the spin wheel,would be helpful if you dont have all the books memorized by old or new testaments. One last thing...Gods words printed in red.

Pretty good but needs a few things IMO to be great

The volume needs to be normalized. There should be a way to show what you have listened to already. There is an annoying bug that randomly repeats a chapter and stops highlighting the verses that are currently being read. your progress and bookmarks should be able to be synced between iOS devices. I think you should have a higher quality home screen icon. Besides these few comments this App is a great resource and I listen each day on my way to work.

Really great tool

This really helped me memorize whole chapters of scripture by just immersing myself in them while taking long drives. The background audio is awesome now that its updated. My only issue is, why did you make it purple? Dont assume only chicks use this, hook me up with some color options lol.

Good App. Better with smarter Bible-in-a-year feature.

I bought this app especially for the audio Bible-In-A-Year feature. I have an hour commute and wanted to go through the bible at an accelerated rate. When the app is closed and re-opened, it does not resume where you left off; it starts at the current date. With a "Go To Day #" feature, I could easily navigate to the day I left off. Unfortunately, I must hit the forward arrow how ever many daysnecessary to get to where I left off. A great feature would be (1) Go to Day # or (2) Specify how many days you want to take to go through the Bible. I do not think I would have spent the money for the app if I had known that I would not be able to get ahead more easily. I would have loaded my Zondervann Audio Bible on to my iPhone and gone start to finish. Otherwise, this is a good application.

Cant just sit back and listen!

I dislike that the pause/play feature doesnt work with my Bluetooth headset. I like listening at work and have to stop what Im Doing to go to the phone to pause it rather than from The headset. I also dislike that isnt fluid. I would like it to just read through with no stops or selecting.

Please add ability to repeat a chapter on a loop

Id like to be able to loop playback for one chapter to assist with memorization. Other than that, Im happy with it.
