    Return the features without requiring login, please. I’ve traded using this app for the analog format of a printed ESV bible.
  • Very unhappy with updates

    I’m pretty unhappy that previously available content is now locked after updating. It doesn’t seem fair to offer users something for years for free before deciding to charge for it. I used the ESV app exclusively for Kristyn Getty’s narration, but I’m not paying $4 a month for that now.
  • It’s been updated to the 2025 version, it seems…

    Can we at least have the 2016 version offered as an alternative in the app? It’s way more convenient for someone like me who has a physical 3016 ESV, using the app for the sake of convenience. Please. 🙏🏻

    You cannot sign up for an account if you are using VoiceOver on the iPhone, you can type in your first name and everything else. It does not let you edit in the fields so I unfortunately cannot sign up, but would love to as the ESV is my favorite translation.
  • Great, but has bugs

    I love this app. It is so helpful, and I use it all the time. I ran into a problem though. The search bar does not always yield accurate results. When I search the word “king” it shows no results for the New Testament.
  • Everything you want, nothing you don’t.

    This app avoids the bloat that modern software design gives you. This app starts you where you want to go and isn’t trying to divert you into the fluff. Nice job guys.
  • Requests/ critiques

    Love the app especially the voice overs and all of the adjustments you can make such as speed of reading! Requests/critiques: Can we PLEASE get a desktop app and or website? Also, one thing I wish was better is the UI of the plans. I can’t tell you how many times I try to check off a bubble and it opens up the chapter instead. I don’t know if it’s just my phone or my big thumbs but it makes me not want to use the plan feature at all. First world problems… so spoiled but thank you so much for this app!!
