Reviews for Ascension: Catholic Bible

Wonderful resource to use for Ascension's Bible in a Year and Catechism in a Year. I love that they added the daily readings and a short video to meditate on the Mass readings. I also love that the paid version of the app gives you access to several of Ascension's wonderful studies such as Adventure Bible program, Theology of the Body, deeper studies on different books of the Bible, etc. Please keep adding more studies!

I originally left a bad review because I thought the $60 a year was a crazy price (I still think that), but updating to 4 stars because it is a really well made app and easy on the eyes to read daily. My one suggestion for 5 stars is adding an option to highlight/mark Bible chapters in the Bible overview page, that way I don't lose my place if I read two different areas, maybe just give like 3 colors or markings to choose, like ribbons.

I am so excited for this app! It is fantastic to have both The Great Adventure Bible and Ascension's version of the Catechism in a digital format. I am able to instantly pull them up when I'm having discussions of Fr. Mike "In a Year" podcasts. This afternoon, while waiting for my car (a few hours), I was able to listen to Fr. Mike's podcasts while reading along! I didn't have to wait until I was home with my Bible or Catechism - I was able to make constructive use of this down time!

This is my favorite Bible app, and it easily has the best online/digital Catechism. The Bible comes with all the same notes, cross references, commentary, and features of the physical Great Adventure Bible (which is also my favorite Catholic Bible). On top of this, you get Fr. Mike's Bible in a Year podcast and Catechism in a Year podcast. It is a well-designed, good-looking, functional app, and I highly recommend it.

Perfect timing! I had been looking for an e-book Bible, and this one is free. I love that you can read or listen. No matter how many times Jeff Cavins says to make notes in your Bible, I can't write in a book. I will be highlighting and writing notes all over this Bible ap. I have the beautiful Adventure Bible and Ascension Catechism (so gorgeous, totally worth the price) and now I can take them with me. So many great qualities besides convenience.

I enjoy listening to the Bible in a Year, and the Rosary in a Year, but I have a lot of problems with the app. If I listen to an episode, it doesn't mark it as listened to, so then it's hard to remember where I'm at. If I try to listen to a second episode in the same day, it stops in the middle. Also, the go back and go forward buttons never work so I always have to listen to the whole spiel at the beginning with what you're reading from, etc, etc. I can not pause it either. Frustrating.

This app is awesome! You can very easily listen to Fr. Mike read the Bible! You can also change audio playback speed. One suggestion I have for the devs is to only allow one book of the Bible to be expanded at a time. So essentially, when you expand a book when you already have another book expanded, the previously expanded book will collapse. That flow seems intuitive to me and would make it so the books of the Bible page can never become cluttered. Great job guys!

I am loving it so far!!! This is literally everything I need to keep up with my reading and study on the go. I've been wanting a good Catholic Bible app for a while. AND it has the Catechism, too?! This is now my my favorite Catholic app (tied with Hallow). My only request, as far as functionality goes, is to please add the ability to reorient to landscape mode when your device is horizontal. It would be so much easier to take notes with my tablet that way. Can't wait to see it grow! TYSM!!!

This is a wonderful app. It's one of my preferred Bible translations (I like the original RSV-CE a little bit more), it has the Catechism built in, and the notes are insightful and from authoritative teachers (Popes, scholars, etc). The UI is intuitive and easy on the eyes. The only thing I can think of that might make it better is the ability to copy from the notes as is possible from the Scripture itself.

I loaded this application for the audio function of the app because I have dyslexia and it would help me learn the Bible better. Seem to work well with the Bible. Unfortunately the audio doesn't work for the catechism section of the readings. You have switches to turn on but no audio to play. Very poor and for the price that they're charging you would think audio would be on. Plus there's no help, I presume you need to pray for it. I am praying that the will response and let me know the fix.
