Quality issues
I grew up listening to Mr. Scourby narrate the Bible and as a big audiobook listener to begin with, I was very excited to find out there is now an app for his reading of the KJV. The concept behind the app is great; unlike most audiobooks, which are designed for a straight-through listen and don’t function well for a book like the Bible where people like to select different books, chapters and verses to listen to, the app is broken down in a very browsable book/chapter/verse format. The biggest problem though - and this is a deal breaker for me - is because the recording is so old, there is quite a bit of static and the recording doesn’t transition smoothly from verse to verse. After each verse, there is a noticeable “clipping” sound where the verses have been separated into separate sound bites, in order to get the browsability required for the Bible format. If you are listening to more than a verse, the sound is extremely annoying. I love Scourby’s narration, but I couldn’t handle to editing problems, especially for $20. I sadly had to return this app.
