Too expensive
Too expensive . Should be subsidized. It is the WORD that should be propagated far and wide. !
The Message
This version has great potential; however, it is not working well on my iPad. The search function is not working at all and after accessing the table of contents once, which if it worked consistently would be great, I was not able to get back to it so that I could switch between the Old and New Testaments and various books/chapters within each without having to scroll through all of the prior books and chapters starting at Genesis. I truly hope they come up with a fix to this bug because $16.99 is way too much to pay for an ebook that doesn't work properly. If it worked as it is supposed to, the enhancements which this version has would be worth it.
Missing the end of every chapter
The end of every chapter in every book of this Bible is missing! Very frustrating since I do the Bible reading for our Wednesday night bible study. Now I'll have to buy another one through Amazon's Kindle store. 😟
