Scourby YouBible

Great for when I’m going to sleep!

The Robert Robert’s does not work and I’m getting the run around from tech support. I have reinstalled a number of times and have hit the restore button in the subscriptions a number of times too. It still doesn’t work. Please stop insulting my intelligence with the reinstall and restore answer and find a solution to this.

Such a great App. It has helped me achieve reading goals that I have always struggled with. Responsive and supportive developer. Have had 2 glitches lately one which the developer fixed promptly and the latest one was caused by my iphone. The App crashed on opening, Scourby.com gave me the fix which was a Soft Reset on my iphone xs, all sorted very quickly. I have never paid this much for an App before ($34NZ) but then I have never valued an App this much before either!! On my 5th time through the bible for 2019!!! I think Im addicted!

I’ve had this app for years and originally paid $25 or $20 for what Was a lifetime purchase. This was it before a $25 purchase was common. At some point an update removed features like the timer, that I used to use regularly. And now it is a subscription for $31 a year. I feel ripped off because I was not aware if any if the changes.

I bought this app a few years ago and suddenly I can’t use the audio playlists I created unless I purchase a subscription! I hate subscription based apps and never purchase them. I guess I’ll just have to delete this app. BYE!

I bought this app many years ago and used the loop feature. Apparently now I supposedly have to buy their subscription for a feature that was included in my original purchase? Absolutely disgusting. You should be ashamed.

Paid $20 for this app. The developer is now charging at least $3.99 for every feature. Come on people. And this is not one time charge…billed Annually!!!!! Just to increase the listening speed $3.99????? Buyer stay away.

I read my Bible through multiple times each year I have owned nearly every version of Scourby’s KJV recordings. First few years of this app were good, but it seems each revision gets worse. Then they started charging for these revisions. Things that were part of the app originally are no premium features at a cost. I contacted the owner and they said it was to pay for coder to do the updates. Each update offers new problems. The latest updates automatically make the program crash and require uninstalling and reinstalling each time I complete the Bible. When I do that, all of my customized playlists disappear and I have to manually reenter each and every one. It is very irritating and time consuming. Before the last update, this did not happen. I have contacted the owner about this and get NO response. Also, I have asked for a 4 month Bible reading program for past few years with no response. They offer 3, 6, 9, and 12 month plans. 3, 6, and 12 make sense as that is 4x, 2x, and 1x each through year. 9 month plan makes no sense. A 4 month plan would be 3x through each year which is what I have done for several years. I don’t care if they offer other plans, but why not offer requested plan, especially when I pay for it?

I’d read reviews of this app when purchasing it and was warned to not let it update. So, for years, I did not. Unfortunately, when purchasing a new phone, it was automatically updated. Like other Scourby Bible app purchasers, I was upset when I realized that features that I’d originally purchased with the app were no longer available to me (the timer and the looping). I only got a pop-up telling me to purchase these through a yearly subscription. I was extremely disturbed for a long time. There was no help from the reps. But, on principle, I refuse to pay yearly subscription fees for features that I’d enjoyed for many years and which were included in my original purchase. Thankfully, I can use my phone’s timer and set it to “stop playing” after the set time. Also, there is now text missing. Many verses end without completion. And there are countless errors in the recordings. And when doing searches for scripture words or phrases that are definitely in this app text, it comes up with nothing (i.e. “Lot’s wife”). Just too bad that whoever’s got oversight of this app do not bother to read, listen to, or fix these issues.

To charge subscription prices after the app had been previously purchased is a real sleezy way to do business.
