Listening to Audio
Once you've set up an audio Bible or audiobook, it's available from your Library.
Select the Library icon.
Make sure you're on either the Cloud or Device tab, then select the audio Bible or audiobook you'd like to listen to.
When you select an audio Bible or audiobook in your Library, the Audio Player opens. Select Play to begin listening, or select the current location to navigate to another location.
When the Verse Chooser opens, select a Bible book, then the chapter and verse. The audio Bible immediately jumps to that location and begins playing.
If you've also downloaded the Bible text, you can read and listen at the same time.
