Reviews for Pencil Bible: Bible Notes App
Raieyn
A subscription? Really?
Loved this app until I kept getting messages requiring a subscription for full use of notes beyond ten chapters. Do I need a subscription to write notes in a physical bible? I’m fine with higher app costs on the store and even charges for new translations, but a subscription for full use is a no-go for me, and I’d advise the developers to dump the sub model. Sub fatigue is a real problem with software these days, and Jesus certainly doesn’t expect a subscription to read and study the Word of God.

Would be great if ads didn’t pop up every couple of minutes
the ads for the subscription keep coming up every couple of minutes.
