No Navigation

What would have made NIrV Audio Bible, Pure Voice better?
80 hours of useless audio. IMPOSSIBLE to find passages, versus, etc. It's like having the Bible on cassette. ALL of the Audible recordings of 80 or more have NO navigation and is completely useless.

What did you like best about this story?
I liked not being able to find any passages and having to fast forwarding looking for Genesis.


What does David Heath bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I liked having chapters named 5, 6, 7, etc and they contained lots of passages. The fun, you have to search fast forward/reverse to find passages.

Any additional comments?
Audible Problems.
-Apps look like they were designed for Windows 95 and Mac 9 and have never been updated.
-Poor pronunciation
-Narrators that sound like they swallowed a whistle.

Should be so much easier to use!

No indexing. Can't easily find the beginning of a single book. Well...except for Genesis. A huge disappointment. When I can find a spot I want to start listening to, I really enjoy it.

Great Bible, But No Book/Chapter Index Whatsoever

What disappointed you about NIrV Audio Bible, Pure Voice?

You can not track where you are. Theses audios are broken up in 13 Chapters. That's it. No books of the Bible, no index, nothing. You will not know which book you are on or you would like to go to unless you start all the way back at chapter 1 in Genesis. Then you have to guess which book the reader is on when you get to one of those 13 chapters and look for the book you maybe reading until the reader tells you what book your on next. Very unorganized audio book. Yes audible will track where you left off but thats it.This is useless for the average reader. If you got time to kill and don't care where you read you may enjoy this..but be careful this is a lot of money to spend for something that is not practical to use.

Would you be willing to try another one of David Heath’s performances?

I liked his voice for the bible.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

I love the bible but hate how they made this audio with no way to follow along with it.

Any additional comments?

If your willing to put the effort it takes to actually find out where you are located with this audible file you may like it but for $70-80 dollars that this usually costs its a rip off because no one is going to have the time it takes to literally skip chapter by chapter of 66 books of the bible and some won't even know where they are so it may end up being useless to new readers. Buyer beware!

Bad Purchase! Full Of Errors!

The voice is nice. I don't know what bible the narrator is reading from, but it's NOT the NIrV. Listen and read your bible at the same time. Errors galore. Try Luke chapter 18 & 19 for example. For the price they are asking for this audio book, one would think they would get it right atleast. It's also poorly indexed. No way to go to a specific chapter or verse. Do not purchase! You've been warned!

Great reading, but poor separation

My dyslexic 10 year old wanted to read her Bible but was struggling. I paid for this and regret it, because unless she reads straight through, there is no way for her to find what she needs.

The narrator is great, but the organization is not.

Bible in plain English

IDEAL FOR THOSE LEARNING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE. Good performance. Story is what it is.

5 star

Excellent
With grace I enjoyed the book.
Thank you so much. What an excellen and pure-voiced book!

Chapters

Why chapters? Why not books, ie Psalms, John etc. Very confusing and unwieldy . Deleted.

Excellent

It is well done. Very easy to follow. Great content. God is good. Thank you

Great bible at great price but disappointed index

I wanted a bible audio I can take with me every where but this is so impractical. There is no dividing chapter in the mager book. Instead it’s divided in 4 minutes automatic chapter number over a 1100. Don’t you think the author and technology now say could have divided this bible in book and chapter. I am not yet to ask for verse. But common this is 21st century. Someone can over come this. And I thought audible would be the one to want to overcome it.
