Amazing experience

The best Bible app on the App Store with with study notes, (optional) AI guidance, bookmarks, and especially useful to sync with my phone and apple watch.

trap

This app is a trap. Stay away

Response from developer

We're sorry the offer screen felt like a trap — that's on us, and we've reworked it. To be clear: you never need to enter payment details to close the screen or delete the app, and the trial can be cancelled any time in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions with no charge. Premium is how a small independent team funds the licensed NIV text, but reading, search, notes, and the daily verse are free. If you were charged unexpectedly, email info@accessibleresources.com with "Refund" in the subject and we'll personally make sure it's put right

Brilliant

The best Bible experience, easy to read

Says in app purchases but I can’t use without paying?

It looks like a good bible but I need to pay to use it?? But it shows as free on the App Store.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback - this was a fair point. The latest update adds a close button to the paywall, so you can dismiss it and continue using the app. The subscription helps cover the licensing fees we pay to Biblica for the translation, but it's no longer a blocker to getting in and reading. Appreciate you flagging it!

Rrr

You have to buy the Bible app

Seems dodgy

I use the free Bible app on my phone. I decided to see if it was also available for my Mac book. I found this app - it looked the same. In the info there is no mention of a cost and so I downloaded it. It went straight to a page offering me 7 days free trial and then £24.99 per year. There was nothing I could click except the accept the free trial button. I couldn’t close the app as the red button wasn’t there. I tried quitting and nothing happened. The various links at the bottom of the page went to a 404 page. I manage to delete it by going back to the App Store.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD

This app seems harmless enough at first glance, but once you download and install it you are directed to a “free trial” page you can not get out of. I had to force quit, and then manually drag it to the trash to not sign up for their $24.95 per year plan. There are plenty of great resources available that do not manipulate and force you into an automatic billing cycle app.

Not such a wide range.

A bit of false advertising. It says it has a “wide range of translations when it only comes down to 2.” Not what I was looking for. A bit disappointing. Other than that, seemed like a solid app.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. We've now updated the app to include 5 different English language versions (NIV, KJV, ASV, BBE, YLT) and 10 additional non-English language versions. If there is a specific version you're looking for, please drop us a note at info@accessibleresources.com

Accidentally purchased please refund

please refund

Response from developer

Please note that subscriptions are managed by Apple through your App Store account settings.

Horrible

Forced to put credit card info in just to delete app even though I’m a poor college student

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, note that it is not necessary to put a credit card in to delete the app, the app can be deleted at any time through macOS. If you'd like guidance on this, please get in touch at info@accessibleresources.com

Does not have the features I'm looking for
No plans,

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback, our latest updates include plans and many more features.

This is stupid! Going back to YouVersion.

... Not that I ever left or deleted that app, but did give this one a try based on a mention on AppleVis. But the verse of the day hasn't changed in four weeks, and before that it didn't change for six. I see no sense in having other voices read this thing when VoiceOver reads everything anyway, and there are only two English versions. In YouVersion, I have a comparison list of at least seven different versions. Not impressed and not happy.

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We have addressed the issue regarding the "stuck" Verse of the Day. This was a technical bug that has now been resolved; you should see the verse updating daily as intended. Regarding your other points: Audio Options: We provide custom voices as an alternative for those who prefer specific narrations, but we completely understand that VoiceOver users may find the native system voice more efficient. Bible Versions: We hear you on the variety. While we currently offer fewer versions than larger apps like YouVersion, we are actively working on expanding our library to offer better comparison tools in future updates. We hope you'll give the app another look now that the daily verse is functioning correctly. If you have any other suggestions, please let us know.

poor features

cant chnge font size, cant place on night mode. cant go to previous history (tosee where i left off, & what i previously read)

Response from developer

To change the font size, please use the accessibility settings. We are always iterating on the experience and appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback, we will take this into consideration for upcoming release. Thank you again.

Not a good widget app

The app is too simple. I downloaded the app to have a bible widget and shows the same verse. I thought this app was a good bible widget. I can’t change the language for my screen. The app can be used as a bible, but not as a widget.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback, we are always iterating, and have improved the widget experience. Please let us know if you have any further feedback.

Accessible?

It doesnt have background audio...

This is not the app you want for multi tasking.

Otherwise 5 stars for using Siri’s voice, color options, and bible options.

But yeah, no background audio so....

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. we will look to incorporate background audio in a future release, thank you again.

Great app, but could be better.

This is the first Bible app I’ve found for the visually impaired who still have some sight. Others don’t enlarge enough. I found one other app that enlarged well, but the references did not enlarge, so my d/h would have to hand his iPad to me during church to find the passage.

This app has the right idea! The only flaws I found were: 1. As the text is enlarged the chapter numbers disappear. 2. The verse numbers are too small and disappear under the verse text.

Two suggestions I have as well, are: 1. Add verse to the reference lookup. 2. Remove the footnotes or make them optional, they distract from reading smoothly.

If these things could be fixed, this would be a one of a kind app! People forget all too often that blind doesn’t always mean sightless. Thank you for trying to meet the needs of those who use devices to help them read God’s Word!
