Good, but not perfect

I love the app, but I hate it that when I go to another app and kept this app open at the same time, it goes back to Judges chapter 19. Eveytime. I’m afraid to delete it to reinstall it because I may lose my notes.

Hello! Try out the latest 7.0 release. What we call "state restoration" should be improved!

Best KJV App by Far!

Love this app. So much easier to navigate versus any others I’ve tried. The look and feel of this app is also superior. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is due to a search bug on the iPad version of the app. When I start to type in the search field, the search window vanishes so I have to switch to the iPhone version of the app to search for anything. Also, recently I discovered that Lamentations 1:1 is missing several punctuation marks and in Philippians 4:4 “always” should be “alway”…no “s”.

Hello! Try out the latest 7.0 release. Let me know if it still isn't working to your expectations.

This update wiped out all my tags

This update wiped out all the tags I have been maintaining for years. Even when I try to restore them from my iCloud back up, nothing is restored.

Response from developer

I'm sorry to hear this! As you noted, the highlight and bookmark back-up files are saved to iCloud. They are also pretty easy to access from the Files app on iOS, Finder on Mac or via the icloud.com web app. (Each app has its own folder.) So if something has happened to a file, we can look at it and try to fix it. (If anyone encounters this again, please email support directly.)

Really Like this App

I really like this KJV Bible app. The mixed Bible reading plan provides daily reading from the Old Testament, Psalms, Proverbs, and the New Testament. It lists each reading so you can use your printed Bible if you’d rather not read on a device (which is great). It is not calendar specific so you can read as many days as you’d like, and you can start the plan or start a year over whenever you’d like. It keeps track so that you can start your daily reading right where you left off, even if it’s the middle of a day’s reading. Great tool.

There are, of course, other tools—some are very helpful—but it’s a pretty straightforward app, which I like. If this describes something that you’re looking for, I’d encourage you to check it out.

Search feature not working

Search feature isn’t working after recent update

Response from developer

Hopefully your issue has been fixed since. (I just release 7.0.) If not, feel free to email support directly.

Excellent!

I am very pleased with this app. It’s search function is great, and I love the availability of the additional books when Deutercanon is turned on in settings.

Skip this app

Poorly edited. Noticed grammatical and spelling errors in first two chapters of OT. Not worth the purchase.

WAS the best Bible App

This latest update for VerseWise is nothing like the original version, which I quite liked. Of course, I am exaggerating a bit, but enough has changed that I can't say I'm impressed with it anymore. One of my biggest complaints is that you can no longer change the text size in-app. Which means if I want a larger (or smaller) font size, I have to close the app, dig through the settings, and change the font size for ALL text on my iPod. Whoever redesigned this app should be ashamed. It was PERFECTLY FINE before, so why change it??? This is the first time in years I've seriously considered switching to YouVersion. Please either fix it or offer a "classic" version for us diehards that hate change.

Response from developer

This is an old issue, but I did return the ability to adjust text size in-app. Sorry!

Great App

I have no objections. It's worth the money. I love the bible reading plan with the apocrypha included. Amazing.

CRASHES

Every time I open the app it crashes. Please fix.
