Downloaded the app because I was not at home. In double-checking found this is NOT NIV 84, but NIV😢 ### 1/5 — Not NIV 1984 *2023-10-07* Went to my favorite NIV 1984 verse and it’s in the newer NIV. Disappointing.

You ask upfront for a subscription under false claims!!! This is fraudulent and I will be reporting it as such to apple! ### 1/5 — Not 1984 NIV! *2023-02-15, version 1.1.7* Deceptive, this is not the 1984 version of the NIV Bible. ### 1/5 — Not 1984 *2022-12-30* Like other guy said, this is falsely called NIV 1984. ### 1/5 — NOT 1984 *2022-10-22* Compare Philippians 2. This is not 1984. ### 1/5 — NOT 1984 Version — SCAM!! *2022-05-14* What an easy way to make money… Advertise as the 1984 superior NIV version and simply cut and paste from the 2011 which is readily available. Run ### 1/5 — Nope! *2022-01-25, version 1.0* This is NOT the 1984 NIV Holy Bible. ### 1/5 — This is NOT the 1984 Translation *2022-01-16* This is the progressive 2011 translation. Deceiving is a sin! ### 1/5 — NOT 1984 *2021-09-22* THIS IS NOT THE 1984 version of the NIV. User beware. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads are porn *2026-08-11* The Bible is fine but the ads are explicitly inappropriate. I think this app exists as a jab at those that want to read the Bible. Use a different app. ### 1/5 — Gaming app *2026-06-16* Haven’t been able to read a thing… Played lots of game ads however ### 1/5 — This is NOT the 1984 edition of the NIV *2026-06-13* This is not the 1984 edition of the New International Version Bible. It is the 2011 edition. I prefer the 1984 edition. ### 1/5 — Should be 2011 *2026-04-12* This is not the NIV 1984 translation. Don’t waste your time if that is what you are looking for. ### 1/5 — Not 1984 *2026-03-12* Caution, this is NOT the 1984 version. Please compare it to your 1984 hard copy. ### 1/5 — Not NIV 1984 *2026-01-03* This is the “gender neutral” NIV. Not the real 1984 or before versions of NIV. Sad. ### 1/5 — Not 1984 Version *2025-12-24, version 1.1.7* Unfortunately, this is not the 1984 version of the NIV. Please correctly label your app. ### 1/5 — Not 1984 Version *2025-09-15* This is the 2011 version ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-07-13* I appreciate having an audio of this Bible version, but it does come with many ads. When I switched between this and another app, I get another ad. If you don’t care about the version, I recommend the app “study Bible” After watching too many ads (god’s word should be free of cost as it says in the Bible) I realize this isn’t even the 1984 version. Very disappointed; a waste of time. I clicked on the support button and I now see that this is created by “lazy” Bible, now it all makes sense (lol). ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2025-06-29* This is not the 1984 NIV it's the 2011 NIV ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I💕this app it is so mazing *2023-11-16* It is great i don't know what to say about this wonderful applications it is great i read the bible on it all the time and i love the audio options so that u may read and listen at the same time ### 5/5 — Good job *2020-12-01, version 1.0* It’s awesome thanks be to God ### 2/5 — Typos in the Bible?!?! *2026-08-12* This is my favorite translation and I’ve used this app for many years. But the new upgrade is not very user-friendly. The ads now are frustrating and the paid version for $70 a year is ridiculous. There’s also typos in the Bible where almost everywhere spaces are missing and words are run together. For an App that wants such a high price there shouldn’t be typos in the Bible. ### 2/5 — Not 1984 *2026-03-21* Download it because I like the 1984 version and the modern Bible apps do not have it. This is not the 1984 version. ### 2/5 — Not 1984 *2025-04-14* In 1984 version Romans 8:31 say “what shall we say to this” not “ what shall we say to these things”. None of my Bible apps allow for 1984 version so I was excited to find this app only to find’s its false advertising ### 2/5 — It’s not the 1984 version *2023-11-04* Misleading app name, it’s just the current version of the NIV ### 2/5 — Not quite accurate *2022-09-29, version 1.1.7* I appreciate the desire to provide a free version, but users should be warned that this isn’t quite the same text as NIV 1984, and contains some punctuation and spelling mistakes. ### 2/5 — Please fix *2018-08-25, version 1.0* Can'tscroll down to read the verses.
