I use HEY for all my personal email now too. I definitely believe it's a step in the right direction.

Very cool. Somehow I've never seen Catena before.

Sure. Essentially all the videos, topics, and any new type of resources added in the future have Bible reference(s) set (this happens via admin controls). This is another big reason content has to be manually reviewed before allowing it to show up in the app.

Sorry, just realized that my comment above had confusingly poor grammar.

No, from my list I’m currently paying for licensing on the NIV, ESV, and NRSV.

It's actually all built from scratch. I'm not very familiar with Crosswire but will look into it some more.

My approach will likely improve over time, but for now it is based on a few main factors. 1) Is the content primarily concerned with teaching the Bible? 2) Does the teaching fall within what is broadly considered orthodox? 3) Is it a good "fit" for the UX of the app?

By "fit" I mostly mean duration. If there is a good sermon, but it's 45 min long, then it may not be approved. Since people are actively reading the Bible, ideally a video will say something meaningful and specific about a Bible passage without taking too long (<5 mins).

Thanks! Can you clarify what type of taxonomy you're asking about?

That's a good point; I appreciate that perspective.

UPDATE: I just made the app available to all countries.

UPDATE: I just made the app available to all countries. Not sure how long until that change is propagated by the App Stores, but you can try soon.

Sorry about that. I'm working to make it available in more countries ASAP.

I have an admin back-end that allows for reviewing, editing metadata, and then approving resources. Once approved new videos get pulled into the app via an API without requiring an app update.
