What device are you using and which version of Android? Does the issue only happen after an upgrade or does it also occur after a fresh install?

Kevin,
My device is a OnePlus One (bacon), and I am on Android 6.0.1 (August security patches).
I had only updated before. I uninstalled, cleared cache/data, and reinstalled. Now that everything has synced, it works just fine. I don't know what the issue was.
Sincerely,
-David

Kevin,
After a day of use, it is force closing on startup again. I've used my discipleship journal reading plan, downloaded the esv/na28/na28apparatus, and I've listened to the ESV Audio Bible.
I hope that helps. I just submitted a crash report through Google's reporter.

I'm experiencing a similar issue. It's been happening for a couple of beta builds now.
What I've noticed is that when the Bible app is idle for a long time (between 12 and 24 hours), opening it causes it to crash. But opening it immediately after the crash it launches successfully.
I've submitted a crash report yesterday.
- Pixel C (Android 7.0)
- Bible App 5.5.1 (Build 505011020)

Mine is also crashing before startup finishes. I tried a fresh install and it opened up first time but then subsequent attempts resulting in crash before it completely loads. I cleared the data/cache and it acted the same way as a fresh install (fine upon first use, but then subsequent crashes)
OnePlus X (Android 5.1.1)

Sounds like the app needs to be Fired Up.
Anyone have a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 they can try it on?

We're aware of the crash on startup and crash while the app is idle in the background issues; we are working on fixing these for the next release.

This wasn't able to be fixed in the 5.5.3 Beta, but we're still working on it. Thanks for your patience.
