About this app

The King James Version (KJV), also known as the Authorized Version, is a widely recognized and influential English translation of the Bible. It was first published in 1611 under the authority of King James I of England and has had a significant impact on English literature, language, and religious thought. The KJV is renowned for its majestic and poetic language, which has left a lasting impression on the English-speaking world.

Key features and characteristics of the KJV include:

1. Formal and Elevated Language: The KJV is known for its use of formal and elevated language, employing a style that reflects the linguistic norms of the early 17th century. This contributes to the grandeur and solemnity of the text.

2. Accuracy and Faithfulness: The translators of the KJV aimed to create a translation that was both accurate to the original Hebrew and Greek texts and faithful to the theological principles of the Church of England at the time.

3. Influence on Literature: The KJV's language and phrases have left a profound mark on English literature and culture. Many well-known phrases and idioms have their origins in the KJV, making it an integral part of the English literary canon.

4. Standardization: The KJV played a significant role in standardizing the English language, as it was one of the earliest widely circulated texts in a consistent form of English. This helped contribute to the development of a unified English language.

5. Religious and Cultural Impact: The KJV has been a central text in the religious and cultural history of the English-speaking world. It has been widely used by various Christian denominations and has been instrumental in shaping religious teachings, beliefs, and practices.

6. Legacy and Endurance: Despite the passage of time and the development of more modern translations, the KJV remains highly regarded and continues to be read and appreciated by many individuals for its historical, literary, and spiritual significance.

It's important to note that while the KJV is celebrated for its literary and historical importance, its language can be challenging for modern readers to fully understand due to its archaic vocabulary and sentence structure. Many contemporary readers prefer more modern translations that use current language while striving for accuracy in conveying the original meaning of the biblical texts.

So far pretty good. My sole complaint is about the scroll. Even on very slow, the scroll of the text moves faster than the audio and the scroll starts all the way from the beginning once it reaches the final page/paragraphs even though the audio is still reading. This is beyond annoying. I hope y'all are able to fix it.

Thank you for fixing the continuous spinning so that I can use this app again. I have used this app for a couple of years and it has been wonderful. The only gripe I would have is background is to loud, especially during the readings of wars when the soldiers fighting gets louder then the reader. It is so irritating. Otherwise great app. Thank you

Adds are distracting and when they are over the whole chapter starts over when you once again push play. The chapters aren't continuous so you have to manually pick the next chapter and hit play. The voice is great and so is the pronouncination of names. Easy to follow and you pick the speed in which the verses scroll. Definitely better than some of the other apps I've tried.
