February 13, 2024

we found that if you have a large history of searches, (say 500 or so), then updating and saving that history was taking several seconds every time you searched. So we've reduced the history to just the last 10. It's WAY faster now.

But if you search for "Rome", and then copy, the pasteboard will contain individual verses with the full reference and the text for each one). we tweaked and fixed a few other little things.

Description of Not Just Words

It's so frustrating when you think you remember a verse, but you have one or two words which are not quite right, and so you just can't find it. Perhaps you learned it in a different version. Perhaps you only vaguely remember it at all. Either way, if you don't know the right words to look for then you won't be able to find the verse. But Not Just Words is smarter than your average Bible Search app. As well as being able to search for combinations of words it also automatically searches for other forms and synonyms of your search words. So when you search for “pray”, it also looks for “prays”, “praying”, “prayer”, “prayers”, “prayed”... And then it uses a thesaurus to broaden the search even further. So search for “speak” and it also find verses with “talk”, “uttered”, etc... All that in a fraction of a second. You can also search for references like “rom 1:4” or “Gen 1:1;Ex 12:1”, or you can combine these with other searches to restrict them. For example you can search for “pray in Romans” to find the references to prayer in the book of Romans. Or “forgive in NT” to find the new testament references to forgiveness. You can also search for phrases like “holy spirit”. And those searches will also use the thesaurus for each word in the phrase. And you can combine searches with “and”, “or” or “not”. Or “near” to find words within a couple of verses of each other. This app includes the ability to search AMP Amplified Bible ASV American Standard Version CCB Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified) CCB Chinese Contemporary Bible (Trandiational) CEB Contemporary English Version CEV Contemporary English Version CSB Christian Standard Bible CUV Chinese Union Version (Traditional) CUVS Chinese Union Version (Simplified) DARBY Darby's Version ESV English Standard Version GNT Good News Translation ICB International Children’s Bible JCB Japanese Christian Bible JCOL Japanese Colloquial Bible JLB Japanese Living Bible KJV King James Version MSG The Message NASB New American Standard Version NIV New International Version NIV1984 New International Version (1984 Version) NKJV New King James Version NLT New Living Translation NRSV New Revised Stanard Version TLB The Living Bible WEB World English Bible WEBLWT World English Bible with Little Watchman Translation New Testament WYC Wycliffe Bible YLT Young's Literal Translation It also includes the Japanese Colloquial Version using the advanced search features, including the ability to find all the forms of the words you searched for. This version also includes settings which allow you to specify which kanji (if any) you recognise. Unknown kanji will then be replaced by your choice of furigana, hiragana, or romaji. You can also insert spaces between Japanese words to make reading easier for beginners. Similarly for the Chinese Union Version. Both traditional and simplified versions. And you can search either by Chinese characters or pinyin. And if you’re not interested in either Japanese or Chinese, you can just turn them off and never see them again. We also let you set up a daily reading plan, and you can have your phone read it to you each day (using Siri's voice) while you're commuting if that fits your lifestyle. We won’t nag, but we will politely remind you if you get behind. You can turn that off too if you don’t like it. All Bible data is stored locally and does not require an internet connection for reading or searching. Find the verse you’re looking for and make the most of every opportunity.

Reviews of Not Just Words

Leave a Review Not Just Words
  • Good to excellent

    Takes a week to learn how to use it. Don’t give up.
  • Frustrating

    Trying to find a Bible thesaurus. Not user friendly for me to be able to just search a word (logical) and have the thesaurus give me choices. Instead I search a word and the screen goes blank. Feel free to give any instructions as to what I’m doing wrong. It shouldn’t be that difficult.
  • Best bible app I have used

    4 reasons Very fast, has the 1984 niv version I grew up reading and memorizing, quick search engine, parallel Bibles. Keep up the good work.
