I have used this app for some 5 or more years and I love it. The recent upgrades and updates are eroding the lovely experience of the app, it is either slow in loading or a different issue. I am not sure why the downloaded bible version don't work offline. it is frustrating when wanting to feed the soul in solitary of the internet and its distractions that the bible is unavailable. Or am I the only one experiencing this? Admin, any reason, explanation or solution to this?

Update: You say the audio has been fixed, but my phone says otherwise. I have a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra running Android 16. All of my other apps work fine. Bible Gateway is the only one that doesn't play audio. I've restarted my phone, uninstalled/reinstalled the app...nothing has worked. Again, any assistance you can provide would be most appreciated.

EDIT: The new app is fantastic, great work! There's only 2 issues I'm constantly seeing: 1) Notes that I actually write from the Web portal version and then sync down are having weird character issues... any apostrophe or quote character, or 'and' symbol, always syncs down looking something like this: ""generation&quot", like it's not doing the code correctly... This makes using notes in the actual app really difficult to want to do. 2) The study and content menu sometimes doesn't scroll.

Thank you for your feedback, Kody! If you're able to send a screenshot of what you're experiencing with the weird characters in your notes to [email protected] , customer care can get that forwarded to the development team so they can look into it.
