Great App & Bible
This is by far the BEST Bible App available. I just love the KJV Olive Tree Study Bible App so much so that it's my primary form of Bible reading now other than when in Bible Study, and church for one reason only, I enjoy hearing the pages turn in the sanctuary and not everyone has access to a smart device and I can get them a hard copy Bible through the Gideon’s if need be. I use Olive Tree Bible Study App for my study notes and even for preaching. The app works on my iPhone, iPad mini, iPad Pro, and MacBook Pro so that I can sync all my notes, highlights, and comments together in one place. Moreover, having EBD, Smith’s, Matthew Henry and Strong's at just a touch away in one app, my study is enhanced and thoughts are not easily lost trying to search for a book or passage, let alone having 4 study books open side by side for ease in discerning a word, passage, or in depth understanding! Perhaps a really big plus is when looking for a passage that takes just a few seconds by typing in a just a few words in the search box to find matching passages with the ability to define a book, a testament (OT/NT) and other such choices. Totally Awesome! Thank you Olive Tree!Show lessDr Dimento

You're so welcome. Thank you for your glowing review!Brilliant!
With little room to store books, I have moved almost exclusively to my IPad & phone. Strangely with my huge libraries, I had no real problems with the new update & indeed have found it a great improvement to the extent that it offers advances that are not available in the other 2 leading apps that I use. And I find that the prices of new volumes are very competitive. I have been using apps since the introduction of PDAs.... never dreamt then of having such an accessible library at my finger tips. Thank you for the hard imaginative work and listening by the developers.Show lessJohnKP@TW
Great Bible Study program
I’ve been reading my bible since I learned to read at age 4! It was an old KJ that I used for 22 years! Mind you I didn’t always understand it ,not, because of it necessarily but because I didn’t comprehend most of it till my teens! I’m 66 now, older, not much wiser, but, being able to study the different versions in parallel, look up the meanings, the cultural histories, the linguistic interpretations of Latin, Greek, Aramaic, and then jot down notes relevant to me, look up a devotional reading for the day or read a great prayer by another Christian Judy’s fulfills something in my walk with God. It helps me understand the depths of my sin but also the depths of Gods marvelous grace! If I could add a suggestion, when you open a window to make notes, and within the quick study links simultaneously it would be helpful to be able to copy the vs. from the quick study link, or for that matter when you pull up the linked vs. in other bibles to add to notes, some versions it does let you others it doesn’t! I general just have to type it in myself which takes time. Thank you for your helpfulness!Show lessPaperLady01

I'm so glad the app is a blessing to you! I will be happy to pass your suggestion onto our development team. If you have any questions or more suggestions, don't hesitate to email Customer Support at support@olivetree.com. God bless!Biblical Studies
This app is my go to source for Biblical study and sermon preparation. The resources available and the wealth of information provided at the touch of the screen helps me immensely during my vocation, both whilst preaching/teaching and ministering to others. I highly recommend this app, the price is very competitive to others who offer the same functionality, and it often out performs more costly alternatives, and saves on book shelf space! Do take the time to learn all of the app’s functionality, it will pay you back immensely. God bless.Show lessClaimingplanetearth
Better than Logos...?
For those who know Logos Bible Software, they will know that it is expensive and there is quite a learning curve in using it. I am a Logos 6 user but my day to day bible software is made by Olive Tree. I would heartily recommend this application, especially if you're willing to buy some additional books, as the more products you have in your library the better the application becomes. I have used the Bible reading plans for years now, at the end of a year, the one I use takes you through the New Testament and Psalms twice and the Old Testament once. It is so accessible (as well as legible) especially on your mobile, that one can take advantage of those odd minutes throughout the day. The 'resource centre' feature really is excellent and of course is especially useful on an iPad, where one has more real estate. All in all, a wonderful application that has just gotten better over the years I take my hat off to the developers - thank you, from a busy Vicar.Show lessVicman60
Nicely organized, great products
This is a weird subject area for me because I’m reading the Bible for cultural rather than religious reasons so I don’t have the … ermmm … hinterland of Bible study that would help me understand more how to use it and what I’m looking for beyond enjoying the language of the KJV. BUT the Olive Tree product makes it all so much easier. It’s like a very very smart, very specialized e-book reader with a fantastic shop and free library. Presentation and functionality is all very, very nice. It looks and feels good to use. An excellent product even for the unsaved! Thank you.Show lessvogel421
Best Bible app for me and I’ve tried them all
Multiple versions, easy user interface, customisable appearance and doesn’t bombard me constantly with ‘you missed a day’ or ‘try our latest feature’ so I can just read the Bible. All cross references are linked so you can read the cross reference in a pop up window without looking it up or losing your place. Helpful additional resources if you want them but they don’t intrude if you don’t want them.Show lessBestOneYet735
Longtime, Grateful, Frustrated User
I’ve been with the Olive Tree platform for a long, long time. I am a huge fan and have evangelized others to its many virtues. It has literally transformed my Bible study. I can’t say enough good things. BUT!….the platform is aging and significant updates are LONG OVERDUE. We are years late on getting HTML Text Editing, as well as the rather simple ability to attach documents to a note or verse (PDF, Photo, Word doc). Every update for years and years has largely been minor, glitch related bug fixes. The most recent large new feature was audio Bible, which is nice, I’m sure, but of little use to me. If I were not so heavily committed with library investments, extensive notes and highlights, I would likely have changed platforms. But I’m stuck. Thus the frustration. I’m giving it four stars because I want the dev team to give us a major full x.o point upgrade asap. Also, the backup to Evernote has not worked in a decade, but when it did, it was brilliant. I would greatly prefer to have a secondary, third party partner for backup (similar to Evernote) that adds goes beyond exclusive reliance on Olive Tree’s cloud sync. Thank you for the cloud sync, let’s keep it, it works brilliantly, but give us a backup to our backup. PLEEEEAAASSSEE do these things! This app is amazing, but it is becoming less so with every passing year.Show lessJB073006

Thank you for being a long-time user! We very much appreciate your feedback that it has been years since we had a major feature update to the app. I will be happy to pass your feedback onto our development team. We have added an external export for notes recently. It's not the same as Evernote, but it does give you an option to have your annotations outside the Olive Tree Bible App. Don't hesitate to email Customer Support at support@olivetree.com for the steps to do this. They are also happy to receive any other questions or suggestions. Blessings!The Reasons We do This!
The reason I signed up for this was not what I Needed. The easy way, the quick way, nor the shortest way we’re Required of me. God as He does from us all Requires us to Seek His Kingdom and Righteousness First then other things will be added. But what I found out was that the part of the equation that are the Building Blocks of our Faith and especially our growth in Him have Nothing to do with Speed or Ease! Blazing through will only benefit you by the amount you Retain and Apply which won’t be much; because until you learn like I did that the amount of Your investment is the basis for your growth! Your growth will be in an equal amount to your Speed and Ease! Your Investment consists of: Your Availability Your Tenacity in Pursuit Your Time Your Talent Your Treasure and the Application of what God Taught Us! In order to Seek properly you must Invest Properly. Olive Tree has provided you with an excellent Research System if you Seek Him properly you will learn what The Lord God Almighty has in store for you as I did in this Season of my life, and in the Future as our Seasons Change! God Bless You, and Keep You and make His Face to Shine upon You, and be Gracious! Phil. 4:19!Show lessMaj RE Walker
Love this Bible study ap
I’ve had Olive Tree Bible Study for a few years now and I love it. There were some free versions of the bible that came with the app, but I have added to my library by purchasing other Bible versions as well as commentaries, etc. I run a ladies meeting and Bible study and with so many resources at my fingertips, the app allows me to plan my lessons, as well as personal study. It allows me, with a split screen, to have my chosen bible version on one side of the screen and a commentary on the other. There is also many built in studies within the app which takes you through the Bible in a year. I highly recommend Olive Tree Bible Study app.Show lessEternally minded
