Leave a Review Pencil Bible
What I’ve been wishing for!
I’m an avid journaler , doodler and notetaker, especially in church. I’ve been using Olive Tree Bible for years, and taking notes on a separate app. But sometime you want to make a note in your bible, and while Olive Tree allows you to open a window and make a note, or highlight and underline a passage, you cannot do what this app does with your Apple Pencil. I love drawing arrows, writing related verses in the margins, putting personal insights on the side and more. I just downloaded it today, when I wondered, if I should search Journal + Bible. I would love to see the ability to add extra pages, between the chapters, so I can write down detailed sermon outlines related to the passage. I would also like the option for lines on the side margins. The biggest thing missing is that you can go to the Book and Chapter, but you cannot pick the verse, you just have to scroll through to find it. This might be a problem, say, in Psalm 119. That would be a great feature to add. As one other reviewer mentioned, stickers and other colorful things would be cool. But the biggest need is detailed verse look up.Show lessClayBearNBNC

Thanks so much 💗 - please rest assured that we will be adding all those features in the future. Everything takes a litte time. Appreciate the support 🙏🏻 ErinHopeful!!!
I just downloaded the app and am extremely excited that it exists but there is one feature not available that will be the reason I don't continue to use it. I want to be able to take notes with my Apple Pencil and then use the "scribble" function to change my handwriting to text. I would really like to be able to select from various fonts for that text as well but just getting it to work in a basic font would even work to begin with. I like to handwrite notes but my hands are very shaky so I want to be able to have it automatically converted to typed text. Is this something that will be available? If so do you know what timeframe?
Another feature that I would like to see, but wouldn't keep me fom using it, is stickers. Having a bunch of stickers to drop and drag into the journaling area would be great!!
Thank you!Show lessmrsspivey

Thanks - yes, I will be bringing all those features with time. 😄✔️No Zoom???!!
First off, I love the concept behind this app, truly. And I am thankful to the developers for making this app for people who want to study God’s Word in a traditional way with a nifty device. However, without zoom capability I feel as though the app is very hard for me to use. I like to be neat with my writing, but in order for me to be neat I have to write fairly large on my iPad screen. If I had the ability to scroll I would be able to write large and not take up a bunch of space per page, and the experience would be 100 times better. I’m disappointed because I bought the lifetime access and yet I now feel as though the app is useless, literally only because of the fact that its missing zoom. Please give ear to this and add this simple feature in so that I can adequately use the app :(Show lessJustoose

Hi - we are adding zoom, but it takes time. Making the whole system work is very complicated.
