“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.”

How much does Bible cost?
Bible has several in-app purchases/subscriptions, the average in-app price is USD 3.39.
The app seems difficult to use and there is not much help for figuring it out. I paid the extra money for the full study bible and it is very awkward. The Protestants with the ESV app came up with something easy to use and free. Not sure why we can’t do the same or better, especially since it isn’t free.
Bible at your fingertips
The whole Catholic Bible at your fingertips! Great!
Easy!
This app makes it very easy to follow whatever books and verses in the Bible that are important to the reader.
Support not helpful
I paid for the audio downloads. I am only able to playback one of the gospels. I have asked support for help. The one person who replied has not been helpful and then stopped answering my emails for assistance.
Audio with study Bible good but broken
The study Bible is excellent. The audio is good as well.
There's a long standing very annoying bug that causes the app to scroll to verse 1 of the chapter when looking up an exegetical note.
Audio Old Testament Please
I love this Catholic Bible app. I would give it 5 stars if it had audio for the Old Testament, but awesome app still. Hopefully, an audio Old Testament will come out soon. I’m most unfamiliar with the Old Testament and i find it more difficult to just open up and read the Old Testament. However, i really want to hear and know the stories at the same time. I feel like if there was audio for it, it would help a lot, even if it is not dramatized. That way I can just easily play and hear the stories in the background.
I also just don't want to have to download a non-Catholic Bible app just to hear the Old Testament in audio which would take up extra space on my phone 😄 But, I love the app so far!
Opening my heart to the Lord
This application is a great help to me. It is easy to use and navigate. The hyper links open a window to connecting Old and New Testament passages and thoughts.
When used with my bible and the daily readings, I am better equipped to understand the Word and comprehend Salvation history.
This app is a boy.

Good, but issues.
One of the few apps I’ve found with good study bible integration. However, after purchasing the full study bible, clicking on various notes seems to randomly navigate me through the current chapters, losing my place.
Additionally, whoever you load a note, the note opens, then it immediately reloads into a different font each time.
If these issues didn’t occur it would be fantastic.
Good but sad
This is a great app but it’s sad that we have to purchase certain things just to learn or understand what you want to know. The Bible is something sacred and you shouldn’t have to pay just to learn and have a deeper understanding of your religion and things as such
I like everything about this app except…
I’ve used this app for awhile now and really like the layout, content, and all except whenever I listen to an audio program, I can’t see no “time duration” timeline indicating where I am on the listening program or if how many minutes are left to listen to. Would it be possible to add in a time line duration indication where I am when listening??
