Can I download the audio?
Regrettably, the current version of the App does not support downloading audio for offline use. This limitation arises from the substantial storage space that audio files occupy on mobile devices. Since many portable devices have limited memory capacity, accommodating large audio files is challenging. While there are exceptions, our goal at YouVersion is to ensure that our solutions are compatible with a broad range of devices used by our global community. While we aspire to introduce offline audio functionality in the future, we are unable to provide a specific timeframe at this point.
