Ratings and reviews

It is so great to have a digital copy of the OSB, but it would be really, really nice if the read aloud option was a proper human voice..... and male. Currently it is a really jarring robotic female voice and it says the numbers between the verses. It is unfortunately not something anyone would actually want listen to.

Terrible orthodox translation. Does not match the Greek in meaning at all sometimes. It starts in Genesis right away with bad translations. I don't recommend this book. Again if you don't care then all the power to you.

I am not sorry that I have this on my android phone. I am still discovering how to use all the features of this format. It does not seem to be quite as user friendly as the one on iPhone, but it is good also. Thanks for making it available! Love having it on my phone!
