  • Crashes!

    I loved the app! However, it keeps crashing on my iPhone. I have the latest update and all that. It will open, but when I try to click a different Bible or use the dictionary, etc, it crashes and goes back to phone Home Screen.
  • Best App Ever B4 iOS 17 update

    Please Please Please update this app to work with iOS 17! No Bible app is better than this one when working. You can still read the Bible with iOS 17 but you lose the Strong’s numbers and searching option.
  • Great app

    Pocketsword may have very few reviews, but it is an excellent program, which I've been using for years on Windows and iOS based systems. It doesn't make the word of God feel cheapened with frilly bells and whistles. Great to be able to use PocketSword to the full, now the search option is up and running again. Thanks!

    Update - I updated my phone to iOS 17 and now sadly Pocketsword no longer works properly. Ie When trying to use the search function or the dictionary it kicks me out of Pocketsword. I can’t contact the developer as the web page cannot be found.

  • Search selection isn’t accurately landing

    It used to be, when you performed a search, you could click the pertinent verse and you’d land right on that verse. Now it just takes you to the beginning of the chapter and you have to scroll down to the verse. There are times you won’t accurately get to the verse either by selecting the chapter and then the verse number. It just lands you back at the top of the chapter. I’m using an iPhone 14 version 16 if that helps.

  • Please include the ability to highlight even in the commentaries

    I absolutely love this app and use the Matthew Henry Commentary routinely. It has opened Scripture to me in so many ways. Please add the ability to highlight passages including in the commentaries. These passages have meaningful application, but it’s very difficult to go back and find them again.
  • Please Update

    I’ve been blessed for years by this App. Now it’s constantly crashing. Is there an update? I’m running IOS 16.5
  • Once was good now has become buggy

    Once was a good app now it has become buggy after the last update. Every time you cut and paste a scripture it puts the name of the app with scripture , this is extremely annoying . I have quit using the app because of this. If it’s updated soon and this stops I will use again , if it isn’t the app will be deleted .

  • The best, I think I will never give up on it.

    I will wait for ever until updates, for now I will use with all its errors. iPhone just wants to make money off apps constantly needing to update all the time they do. One thing that would make this app super supremely supreme is being able to transfer bookmarks when switching to new phone. 😁

  • Touching any button causes it to crash

    Touching any button, such as Bible Version, or Preference, or Download, … will immediately cause the app to quit. This used to be a very nice app, now is impossible to use. I am on iPadOS 16.2.
