“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 helps 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.”
--Cardinal Raymond L. Burke, Perfect of the Apostolic Signature of the Holy See
“This is the way Scripture is supposed to sound. Revealing and passionate performances from world class actors, a lyrical translation, and sound effects that put you in the middle of the action. Whether you’ve read the Bible a hundred times or are making the first contact, this is an experience you will not forget and one you will want to repeat often.”
--Laura Ingraham, Radio Talk Show Host, New York Times Bestselling Author
“We learn by hearing as well as reading. Those who desire to become true disciples of Jesus will want to learn from His words in every way. For anyone interested in beginning or continuing their adventure of faith, I highly recommend this faithful and powerful presentation of the Word of God.”
--The Most Reverend Charles Chaput, Archbishop of Philadelphia, PA

The app works, but could be better. Pressing BACK exits the app instead of going back to a previous screen. The New Testament narrations are excellent. Please add Old Testament narrations. The in-app purchases could be a little more detailed, showing which items are included with larger items.
Great app, but a few months ago the homescreen changed to white text on a white background and it is virtually impossible to read the text under the icons to figure out what each icon is. Please make it more legible!
As a Catholic, it is important to me that even the mobile Bible I am using is a Catholic Bible and this one is what I need because it has an Imprimatur. It has 2 versions here, the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible and RSV (the one version used during mass readings).
It's a good app for scripture reading. Hopefully they can offer a more affordable price to access the commentaries. UPDATE: I would consider buying if you restore missing verses such as Acts 8:37. LAST UPDATE: Please ignore my last comment. Just noticed that such verses were omitted in Catholic bibles, though I think there should be some notes.
Used to be a 5 star app.. On demand thumb nails have been black for about 6 months now with no updates. They are adding less and less episodes to on demand sometimes more than 3 weeks between episodes that are actually recorded 5x per week. Seems the app is getting less attention than it needs.
I downloaded this a few years ago shortly after the app came out and started listening to the audio version right away. It is professionally done and the actors and actresses are amazing. They made these books of the New Testament come to life.
The new update is full of bugs and it keeps on freezing my tablet until I unstall. Updated it again and it still freezing. I wonder what the problem is
No closed captioning for On Demand or EWTN live. Very disappointed. This has been dropped from the EWTN app as well so I downloaded this hoping to find it here.
The new update of the app appearance is not good, I prefer the old, it's more pleasant to navigate.
I love listening to this! I wish they would do the same for the Old Testament. Listening to the book of Revelation is over the top awe inspiring!
I love this app! I play the rosary on my way to work every morning and pray. I also love the daily readings.
It's a good Catholic app except this one Truth & Life, Augustine institute, and EWTN are all the same format
A fine app I've used for a number of years. The customer service is responsive and helpful.
Todays reading is not added in the app... So it needs to be updated and malachi 3 from. Verse 19 is missing.. Please update
Superb purchase! What a treasure to tap into the biblical education of Dr. Hahn in the annotations of the Ignatius Study Bible. In addition, the New Testament audio is top-notch, professional quality (you may even recognize some of the actors' voices.)
Easy to read, handy search, awesome dramatisation and authorised!
the highlighting and tagging are not working with the new andoid uograde
What an amazing gift - I feed my soul, fill my mind, and comfort my heart listening to the Word while I sleep 💛✝️🙏❤ Thank you so much!
Good app. It is useful in reading the scripture.
Excellent application with many great features
Excellent way of listening to the New Testament, especially with the family.
I love this app, especially with the Ignatius Bible Study additional purchase.
Thenew testament is really good but I'd rather have the audio for the old testament
I love this app's functions, its prompting features
I enjoyed the app for years before uninstalling due to limited phone space. Now that I reinstalled it I am truly loving the new format, it seems much easier to navigate. Thank you so much for the updates plus I have truly missed the uplifting content this app provides.
