What's wrong with KJV with Strongs?
Love this app, but why doesn't kjv with Strong's work? Please fix it, comes up blank! Love the app if it wasn't for this fault. Have deleted and reloaded, but still doesn't work. Worth 5 stars if it is fixed, otherwise it will be deleted. Please fix???!!
Don't Hesitate
This app and the Message work great. This is an excellent marraige of the Bible and iPod. A great bonus is being able to switch between the MSG and KJV, Strongs, and commentary all for the price of the MSG. Best deal you'll get AFAIK.
The Best Gets Better
This application is really polished and the 2.2 update brings many refinements.
The Best Bible App!
WOW! I just got this app and I am blown away by it. Great UI, and I love the full screen viewing! This app has pretty much every option I wanted for reading and study. I have looked at all the other major bible apps and this one is by far the best out of the ones I have seen. And for anyone who thinks that it is expensive they should look at the olivetree and the mantis apps; the biblescope pricing is very reasonable. Keep adding more commentaries and bible versions and this will be the perfect iphone bible rescource.

great bible application - but no NIV outside USA/Canada? Shame
Just the lack of NIV and NLT keeps this from a 5 star rating. Now discovering NIV is available, but not to me, is very disappointing.
Great presentation. Landscape view, especially split with Matthew Henry is great. Both halves of the split screen scroll independently.
Choosing chapters with rotary dial is great - this doesn't yet turn to landscape, so that would be a nice detail, as would having it without the click without having to silence the phone. These are minor details in a great app. I have tried almost all the others, and this is pulling ahead.
Brilliant. Thank you.

Excellent app, committed developer
This is a fantastic application - very user friendly and all the functionality you need from a Bible application. I bought this as I wanted the Message translation and this gives me so much more besides. The app is made even better now that the developer has secured the rights to the NIV family of translations. I know, through email correspondence, that he's been working hard to secure this for the UK market too - not his fault that the UK has weird copyright laws! The developer has always responded promptly and courteously to emails offering excellent user support. I cannot recommend this app highly enough!

Almost Suits My Needs
UPDATE
Since my last review, this app has addressed my concern about putting the Daily Reading plan native. Cool! However the plan is weird because the chapters to read aren't consistent from day to day. For example, Monday read Genesis 1-2, Tuesday Romans 1-2, Wednesday Psalms 1-2. It isn't until the following week that you pickup on Genesis 3-4, or Romans 3-4. I don't think that plan is good for comprehension.
**Original Review**
The only thing that disappointed me about the app is that the Bible In A Year feature is internet dependant even if a bible recides on the phone. All the cool features like bookmarks and notes cannot be applied when using the internet Bible In A Year reading plan. In contrast, I think the reading plan in the app Holy Bible by YouVersion might be better because of the text formatting.
I think BibleScope is a very good app. If the reading plan was native, then it would be even better IMO.

Clean functional application
Now I know the cool feature of the iPhone is the ability to get things off the net, but I think it is pretty useless to have a Bible available only through the web like most of the other iPhone Bible apps, plus even though the speed of the iPhone data is nice, it is still too slow for searching and jumping around the Bible. This one stores the Bibles on your phone for your use ANYTIME and ANYWHERE regardless of having data signal availability. That is worth the price of admission alone. The interface is nice. I am not sure if I am using it to the full potential but I cannot see where I can select, book, chapter, AND verse. If it is in there and I just cannot find it, then please tell me where it is. Often in bible class or during service, the reference given to you is down to the verse level.
Other than that, this app is excellent, stable, and an excellent price. I would recommend without hesitation. Plus, the developer replies to your inquiries in a timely manner. Let's you know he cares and that is a plus in my book that will keep me paying attention to his development endeavours.

Bug workaround
Check at the app store. And be patient. But it is hard to see why Apple has approved two or more updates for other apps whilst holding up this one. What's the story, Apple?
Great App no update functionality
I purchased this app only to discover that a new version was released. I would like to upgrade to the new version but I do not like the idea that I have to pay an additional 31 dollars even though I have paid 11 dollars for this version already.
