Blue letter Bible
I gave this mid range review for several reasons. Today’s technology is far superior and virtually all things are available in software development if one knows how. Plus now there is A.I. When listening to audio the music that automatically plays is very annoying. One who is studying is also listening for the Holy Spirit’s teaching. We are not interested in music playing in the background. This should be able to toggle on and off. Secondly the scrolling speed should keep up with the narration. When in audio mode you should be able to select a different narration, and select any word in the text for its applied meaning and /or Hebrew or Greek application. NOT automatically highlighting the entire verse and taking you to a “add or create notes menu”. The plus side of all this is being able to change the background and font color. Plus there are no ads.
I corrected (by deleting) the part about not many versions of translation available. Had there been a tutorial ( which there isn’t) I would have not originally included in my review. The rest of the review however stands as written.Show lessSugarlands coolbreeze

I am beyond grateful to the developers of this app. Being able to see the Hebrew/Greek words/meanings is so very helpful and brings such helpful clarity to individual scriptures and passages. One example of this is in James chapter 1 verses 4 and 17 where the same Greek word ‘teleios’, in the first instance, is used to describe the desired effect of our testing through trials as the ‘maturing’ or ‘perfecting’ of our faith and in the second instance in verse 17, is used to distinguish that God gives both “every good (from our perspective) gift”, the stuff we want and like, from every ‘perfect’, or more helpful, “perfecting” gift, the trials and testing that we don’t like. This clarity made a huge difference in my understanding of the entire passage about counting it all joy when meeting various kinds of trials. He gives/allows both in our lives for growing us towards maturity and wholeness in our trust and confidence in Him. Seems obvious now that I read back through, but I always got stuck on “every perfect gift” before not understanding what was meant and how it differed from “every good gift”. I use this app all the time and cannot thank the developers enough for this well executed and incredibly helpful app - a true gift from above!!!Show lessPlaysFPlots
We need new updates ASAP
I enjoy this app greatly, but it is in need of some fixes. For the iPad the search function is a pop-up screen instead of a separate page. This makes studying extremely hard because any time I click off of the app to go read my Bible app. My search screen goes away. The search screen needs to be is on a separate page just as it is in the iPhone app to keep search results up. Not only that I would like the option to leave my search results open even after I click on a verse to go, read it inside of the app. It is cumbersome to continue to search the same word and phrase over and over again as I examine in depth each verse connected to the topic I’m searching. this app can also use better navigation. On the Bible screen, we should be able to select a chapter and verse instead of having to scroll or search for a verse to get to it.Show lessvvlovesu
