Within each passage there are insightful comments and questions consider. ### 5/5 — Psalms by Christopher Ash *2025-12-06, version 3.4.6* I thoroughly enjoyed and was appreciative of the challenge and encouragement from this study series. Thank you ### 4/5 — Great Devotional *2025-10-06, version 3.4.4* Easy to use daily devotional right from your device! Includes NIV Bible readings with devotional. I would prefer to choose a Bible translation, but NIV works. You can study book by book, or by topic. Devotional plans are cheap and worthwhile. I’ve been using this application for a couple years now and it has become my daily devotional. Not too in depth, just right for starting my day in God’s Word. ### 5/5 — Bible rooted teaching *2025-09-23, version 3.4.4* A great resourceful app true to biblical teaching by great authors! ### 5/5 — Explore - Daily Devotions *2025-09-21, version 3.4.4* Thankyou so much for all the time and effort you put into each day’s exploration of the section of the Bible that is currently being ‘explored’. And thankyou for the faithfulness you show in listening to God as He guides you in this work. All very appreciated as this then allows me to share things I’m taught with others. ### 4/5 — Could this be made audible? *2025-09-08, version 3.4.4* Love it but ..I wonder if there would be a way of getting the passages read aloud in the app for those with sight problems? Just a suggestion for the future perhaps . Thank you . ### 5/5 — My go to App *2025-09-03, version 3.4.4* Ive thoroughly grown as a believer as I’ve made my way through the different devotionals. It’s pitched at the right level for me, a mature Christian looking to spend time with God each morning. ### 5/5 — Practical, prayerful and encouraging *2025-08-13, version 3.4.4* Excellent studies written with faithfulness and discernment. This app has helped me develop a regular bible reading time, and encouraged me in my self reflection and growth. ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-07-25, version 3.4.4* . ### 5/5 — Very good *2025-06-29, version 3.4.4* Very good. Sometimes there are typos. ### 5/5 — All you need is here *2025-06-21, version 3.4.4* This app makes it possible to study God’s word when time is unfortunately short. Links to the relevant verses allow for a smooth path through the devotion without the need to go searching for readings and equipment. All you need is here in the app. ### 4/5 — Really good but needs a few minor upgrades *2025-06-17, version 3.4.4* Really good recommend great thoughts but I do find it hard to do it every day so consider that but it is nothing the lord can’t help with and I find it only takes like 5 mins to do it and I would like to have a bit more on the days otherwise great definitely download ### 4/5 — Excellent Daily Bible study *2025-05-30, version 3.4.4* I have been using this app for many years and find it so helpful, challenging sometimes and sometimes comforting. It’s really accessible and great to take with me anywhere on a phone or iPad. The writers are very skilled in setting thought provoking questions and applications as well as explanations when needed. I really value the passages set and exploring all books of the Bible. I wouldn’t want to start my day without it. ### 5/5 — Priceless reading for everyday walking with Jesus! *2025-05-01, version 3.4.4* So helpful having one app with bible passage and thoughtful commentary to help you get into Gods word everyday. I love it. I can highly recommend this way of daily being united to the word of God, which encourages me to love Jesus throughout the day. There is obviously a lot of thoughtful careful study gone into this material. Thank you and long may it continue. ### 5/5 — Daily Reading *2025-04-27, version 3.4.4* Really easy to use whether in the app or print version. The notes are always helpful. ### 5/5 — Heaven sent! *2025-04-15, version 3.4.4* It’s so hard to have a little dose of God‘s word each day, but this app makes it so easy, even on a bus ride or a tea break sitting right next to non-believers. (A great way for opening up conversation if you get the chance!). The questions are thoughtful and even well known passages have a new light thrown on them. Set yourself a challenge – do one month… and you’ll be hooked. ### 5/5 — Clear, helpful questions and commentary and encouraging my faith for many years *2025-04-07, version 3.4.4* I love these Bible reading devotionals. I own probably half of Explore’s books of the Bible. The good book company has very faithful Bible teaching and questions that help you to learn. It also is short enough to do most days. I have used the Good Book Company’s devotionals for my kids too- preschool to teens, I am so thankful to the Lord for their Bible resources ministry ### 5/5 — Eye-opening *2025-03-26, version 3.4.4* Having tried numerous "daily reading plans" over many years, I am delighted with the structure, calibre, and scope of EXPLORE. The authors make the text both accessible and challenging. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-03-26, version 3.4.4* This app helps me focus and reflect on God’s word every day. I love how I can swipe between the notes and the Bible text. I love how Sundays are always a Psalm. ### 5/5 — Great app. Use it everyday *2025-03-26, version 3.4.4* I have used this app everyday for several years ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn't open 🙁 *2018-05-30, version 2.0.4* 🙁. ### 1/5 — Can't open app *2018-02-23, version 2.0.4* App crashed every time I tried to open it. Not sure if it is a bug or malware. Disappointed as the devotions looked good. ### 1/5 — Doesn't open! *2018-02-03, version 2.0.4* The app opens briefly and then shuts again ... so cannot be used. ### 1/5 — Not happy *2017-12-03, version 2.0.2* Every icon you touch you need to purchase . So deleted app ASAP. ### 1/5 — Broken *2016-01-01, version 2.0.0* Since the update I have not been able to access anything from the buy section, including my purchases, which I had previously been finding very useful. ### 1/5 — Broken accessibility *2015-12-22, version 2.0.0* The writers of this app may have given it a clean look but in the process parts of it are inaccessible for visually impaired users of VoiceOver. VoiceOver no longer reads contents of the library and I suspect no longer reads what is available to buy. ### 1/5 — Unable to open the app without it crashing *2014-10-08, version 1.0.8* Bought the app and two devotional materials now cannot open either have written to good book company to ask for a refund as the materials purchased do not work ### 1/5 — Sad *2014-10-03, version 1.0.8* I wanted something to keep me in the word while away at school and thought this would be good but it keeps closing every time I try to get started. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2014-10-03, version 1.0.8* It crashes every time I try to open it. It hasn't worked once. I hope you guys can fix it because I was sincerely interested!! ### 1/5 — Explore *2014-09-19, version 1.0.8* It keeps shutting off ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Elly *2026-07-30, version 3.4.7* Really accessible, concise, clear and biblical. ### 5/5 — Improved version *2026-07-21, version 3.4.7* The new app is very good, I was having problems in the old app of links not working and this has been improved. Well done explore team. ### 5/5 — Explore Bible App - Wonderful! *2026-07-16, version 3.4.7* I have been using the Explore Bible App everyday for many years. It has the right balance of Bible Reading, questions to make you think, extra verses to amplify the teaching and prayer points. My go to quiet time companion. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-07-14, version 3.4.7* Very helpful ### 5/5 — Psalms *2026-07-08, version 3.4.7* Great and very insightful ### 5/5 — Clear Bible teaching *2026-06-25, version 3.4.7* Clear Bible truths, though provoking questions.
