Leave a Review Verbum Catholic Bible Study
Helps to keep me on task
With the spiritual battle raging all about us, it is nice to whip out my phone and delve into the holy scriptures when I have a extra few minutes waiting in line.Warrior Pilgrim
A rich source for spiritual nourishment and growth
An excellent, extensive and rich library and tools for anyone looking to deepen and enrich their understanding and relationship with God. I highly recommend Verbum to anyone who wants to understand the foundation of our Catholic faith and tradition.Fgallinaro
Perfect
I recommend to all. It has a great search function, can compare different versions of the Bible, and comes with some great free resources. It is even better when you have a verbum library on your computer.Asetmeyer
Great App
Liked the app with its free initial resources so much that I subscribed for a Catechism package and got Logos software as well. Great products.
Update: I've expanded the Catechism package several times. Has gotten expensive, several hundred dollars; but the cost is worth it for some really superlative resources to study the Bible, Catechism, and Church Fathers. Also great apologetics and catechetical resources. The software is free, but most of the resources are not.
Another update (2/20): One very nice feature is Verbum’s Free Book of the Month. I’ve significantly added important resources to my library at no additional cost. Verbum continues to be a critical part of my plan for spiritual growth.Show lessNY_Jim
Unintuitive interface keeps getting worse
I’ve used their apps for nearly five years. Their interfaces (especially on the desktop app) have always been unintuitive. Now they’ve ruined an otherwise decent mobile app.
The primary way I use notes on mobile is side-by-side with my Bible so I can see the notes as I read scripture. That used to work OK on my iPad. Now it’s nearly impossible. What compelled them to force a THREE PANE VIEW on mobile? How did anyone think that was a good idea? Clearly nobody at the company who actually used it.
I used to be able to simply open the notebook in split view with my Bible and scroll through the notes and tap the note icon next to a passage in scripture to load that note in the notebook pane. Now the note opens ON TOP of the scripture, preventing me from reading the scripture. Then it takes half a dozen taps to go from one note to another, then I have to scroll through the entirety of the scripture I anchored the note to just to get to my personal note that was the only reason I opened the note in the first place.
Since notes are the primary reason I’m even still using this app, I’m dumping this app for one that’s actually usable.Show lessScottytheMenace
Great Bible Study App
I am using this app as my first read thru the Bible from beginning to end. I like the resources. I do wish I could easily insert a place-mark where I left off in each. I often get bounced back into the beginning of the book.FanOfThingealogy
Amazing app,
The Verbum app is amazing, the developers have done an incredible job putting the power of the Verbum search and study features into a simple app format. This is often my first go to, before accessing the full software on my computer.
Thanks!Dcn. Paul
Updates not as useful
Thank you for this app! I use every day, and I very much appreciate it. However, I am not as impressed with the updated dashboard interface-it’s dull and harder to find what I am looking for. The verse of the day is not as inspiring as it once was, and it seems as if though there may be a new artist or a group of artists, however the recent verses are not very good, in my opinion. I do like the fact that you can click on the Image and it takes you to the verse. The newer ones (within the last several months) or not as inspiring as they used to be, and often are highlighting negative passages. For example the one listed for December 5, 2019, refers to a Punishment of the children of Israel. I realize that we must see both sides of the spiritual equation, however, that should be reflected within the understanding of the person, or persons creating these “inspirational verses of the day.” I used to regularly share these with others so that they may be inspired as I was, however, I am finding fewer and fewer of them are worth sending to others.Show lesscooldoc2
Awesome app!
This is the best catholic resource for books and content in general! The app is easy to use, robust and allows me to do some serious reading and study- Totally recommend it.!jumanaxi
A great daily companion on the go
I really love the features of this app that make having a readable Bible on hand so easy. I also like the extra study features and commentaries that are available to be purchased with the app. Having the “low light” setting makes spending this extra time with God’s word easy on the eyes. This app and all the extra features are worth every penny!Show lessMicHard1
