Amazing Features, Low Price

This is the first app that I’ve intentionally risked purchasing—by which I mean buying without it being clearly specified that there would be no ads. (I hope it’s not just a temporary phase!) Out of 2,300 apps, I have only one or two that I tolerate ads in—and only because they’re pretty much necessities. You should mention that in the App Store description, so you don’t potentially lose other customers. I debated buying this because I’ve learned that even paid apps might have ads, if they don’t specify otherwise. It’s not about the money (to a point)—I’ll happily pay a few bucks to have ads removed, when there is an option. When there isn’t, I simply don’t bother and search for other apps. I can’t stand ads and will avoid almost every app out there (even free ones) if there isn’t an option to have them removed. Hopefully this app won’t change. As to the app itself, it has an amazing amount of features and options (for a nice price), and I hope to make it one of my most-used Bible apps. Thanks!

UPDATE: Thanks for the response to my review. I hope I didn’t sound as though I was complaining about ads. I never considered the extra versions or tools with their prices as ads, but rather simply a handy list of what additional features are available. In fact, I was expressing appreciation that there weren’t any ads (and hoping that it would remain true, which it has and, as you’ve assured me, will continue to). Thanks also for the video links!

Hi, this app has no ads even for the Free version. Those extra bible study materials that need to be in-app pucrases are royalty-based under the permission and agreement with the publisher. It'll be some learning curve to make the most of this app. Some useful tips and posts: https://www.facebook.com/HandyBible This page should give you a quick overview and some gestures to enable some features: http://www.vincentchiu.com/iphone_apps/frame_right-tips_iphone_apps-Handy_Bible_Pro.html And some video demos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP5GrRjg4Mqgcfwll209kyYbd9ZHm-vsK

Apple watch error

This app is great in all the ways and I am greatly thankful upon it but I have an issue on my apple watch, when I go to the "Bible" section loading screen it does not seem to load the scriptures and it just shows the spring loading icon upon my apple watch. Any suggestions?

Hi, since the scripture on Apple Watch comes from iPhone, so make sure the Watch and iPhone are close together to have a good connection. Also some users reported that remove and install Handy Bible on Apple Watch might help. Thanks!

Thanks for your encouraging comment, love to hear people study God's words. I admit it'll need some learning curve to make the most of this bible study app. There are articles I posted to FB and some tutorial videos posted to Youtube which might help: 1. https://www.facebook.com/HandyBible/ 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfcIR6_-qIQ&feature=youtu.be&list=PLP5GrRjg4MqgwzyST2vqUVoMzMTCG5fke

Great Bible study tool

As a whole, this is my favorite Bible study go-to. It’s a no nonsense straight to the information help I’m looking for without fluff of any kind. It does take some learning to understand the different icons and how to move around seamlessly but well worth the effort.

It looks good, great tools

I downloaded and bought the NASB (bundle of New American standard study materials). This and maps, etc didnt load. The screen would just spin and the FAQ in the help section did not assist. UPDATE: after deleting and re-downloading the app, I restored my purchase and they finally loaded. I took away a star for the difficulty getting paid content and for having not enough info in the help file. I hope this app will becomes my primary bible and study tool.

Super Handy

I think this Bible is super awesome and helpful at reading and studying the Word, so many tools at your disposal. It is not the easiest at first to navigate, but once you figure it out it’s the main bible app I use. If I had to put down a negative I would say I wish it had more bible translations available from start, but that’s being really picking with it.

I absolutely love this app. If you love the Word of God , and would love to get a great study on the go this is the app for you. This app comes equipped with a system of both Old and New testaments, with a side by side layout of both books. You can find any scripture anywhere in the Bible at the touch of your IPhone Great Job!! 👍🏾

Bad

This app is horrible. I paid 4.99 and when I search a word in the concordance portion it does not even label the verse it is in u til I click on it. This makes it difficult to simple choose the one I’m looking for because I have to go through multiple selections to find the right one. This app just does not feel well thought out. It is difficult to use and I really wish that I had never spent my money on it. I will not be using this!!
