Description of App

SpokenWord Audio Bible - New Testament

World English Bible translation
Audio is provided by AudioTreasure.com

This program allows you to listen the entire New Testament in audio form. All the audio is embedded in the software, so you can listen the Holy Bible at
any time, without the need for a wireless connection.

The program remembers the audio position so you can start listening where you last left off. The audio will keep playing even after the screen is locked
so you can save battery power while continuing to listen.

The program is simple to use, touch the book icon to select the Book/Chapter to start at, and you can fast forward, rewind, pause, and skip forward and
back chapters.

Now you can purchase an upgrade in the app to give you the following added features:
-No advertisements
-Read along scripture text in synch with the audio
-Navigate by verse in addition to chapter
-Sleep timer
-Change playback speed while keeping a natural sounding voice
-Repeat playback between books/chapters/verses

The World English Bible is a public domain Modern English update of the American Standard Version of 1901 and can be found at http://ebible.org/web/

Other Comments

Love the fact the entire New Testaments is all on your iphone without having to worry of internet connections. What makes this very enjoyable is the fact that all of the Books are in audio format being read by people. So no robotic voices or any kind of text to speech translation. So listening is very soothing and easy to listen. The interface I must say could be improved. Even though everything is clearly labeled I wish the placement of certain buttons were easier to locate. Swiping left to right will let you find everything you will need for this application. Look for the button labeled as Books. Click this button and this will let you select the book and chapter you wish for the application to read to you then select the Done button. Now you are ready to hit the Play button and the the book you have selected will begin to read at loud to you. If you stop the reading. It will remember where you have left off. The next time you start up the application it will start playing right where you left off. The audio buttons are always right below the center of your screen to make finding it easy. Previous, Play and the Next button are right there. The only thing I wish it had was the finger gestures recognition. It doesn't recognize any of the gestures I ride. For example, double finger tap to stop the reading will not work. You will need to hit the Play button to stop. It is a Free application and you like reading the bible. This is something I recommend in giving it a try. The author also have the Old Testaments as well for download.

This sounds totally awesome; will be downloading it tonight for sure. :) I assume the old testament is titled "spoken word" as well? :)

I totally agree! I'm waiting for both the old testament and the new to install! And I love the fact that there both free! :)
