One of the best Bible apps
I have been using PocketBible since its conception when it was written for the Palm Pilot and Windows CE (I used both). At that time, there were very few Bible apps, if any, that could match what PocketBible offered. The app has never disappointed me ever since. While there are now some well-written competing apps available, the company still provides the best value in terms of the selection and costs for Bibles, commentaries, and other resources. Keep up the good work!

Excellent, Powerful, Easy to Use
I have been using PocketBible for many years on my iPhone, iPad, Mac, and PC. It has an excellent and easy to use search feature and I can easily add notes and highlights that sync across platforms.
One big advantage that is has over some other software programs is that it works great even when I do not have internet access, which is common when I am on a plane or traveling overseas.
My only disappointment is that I cannot load any French Bibles (though I can get what I need in Spanish).

Dreadful
My version of PocketBible froze. So I removed the App & reinstalled PocketBible. Half my screen has the help program & I can’t seem to remove it. When I put a word in to check a reference , it will not bring it up but goes to the menu program which goes on forever. My original version was NIV, but now I have KJV, which I don’t want. I’ve spent considerable time trying to get the program to work & while I like PocketBible, I’m going to have to find another provider. Can someone help me?

The best you can purchase
I’ve had this app from the very beginning and it has evolved and improved so much. Buy your books once and you have it on any platform for life. Fantastic app-synchronises books well. V pleased with it. App developers- you do a great job!
Love it!
I have had this product since my very first Palm Pilot. It has servived every devise since then and I still have everything I have ever purchased. The resource options or phemonenal and discounts are often offered. I love this app. It makes studying the bible so easy. I always keep three panes open so I can easily switch form the bible to study notes or to a devotional. But even swithching bible versions or study reference materials is simple. The Study function seaches everything and presents it in a comprehensive document. This little gem is hidden in the app store but now that you have found you must have it.

I am grateful!
I have been using Pocket Bible as my only for many years.
It is brilliantly put together so that it makes Bible reading and study easy and convenient across all my devices. I note against verses in Bible studies and sermons then can see previous notes when I encounter that verse again. I also find the tagging system fantastic. I am very very grateful for those who have developed this great app which I use every day.

User for years
I’ve used PocketBible for more than 15 years and it has all my notes and highlights synchronized across all my devices. I love the different reading plans and all the customizations.
Stopped saving place
Good app, except that most of the time it no longer remembers the place you were at in your reading, having to scroll a fair way to find where you got to. This bug has survived several updates, so please fix!
Longtime user
I have been using this app for many years now. It was great from the beginning, and keeps getting better. I have used several bile apps this is the best in my opinion. There is a feature I find exceptionally useful. The long press on scripture references in commentaries to bring up the verse with out leaving your screen. I wish it was available when looking at notes and journals, that would be really helpful.

Still the best mobile option, even over 20 years later!
I have been using PocketBible since (I believe) the first version. I had a new PalmPilot and the first thing I did was look for Bible software. Once I found Laridian I was hooked, and have been a loyal fan since!
Over the years, and over many types of devices, PocketBible is always my go-to software when starting a study or even doing some reading. Even now that the desktop heavy hitters have made mobile apps, and I can now access the desktop libraries I’ve invested so much in over the years, I still go to PocketBible first.
There is also a free desktop app for Windows, which also works great with Wine on Linux with minimal tweaking. Keep in mind, this is a very basic app and a bit dated, but it means you still can access the resources you purchased for mobile on your PC as well.
I would love for a more modern desktop app with a little more functionality, and perhaps a wider range of resources, but I know Craig is working with a very small team and this might be beyond the core focus, but it’s not a complaint, merely a wish. Either way, PocketBible is the best iOS Bible study app you can find and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
