Can’t Cancel/Delete App

I’m trying to delete this app and cancel my subscription, which the app repeatedly says you can do “at any time,” especially during the trial period. It won’t let me.

Ads are so intrusive that the app is useless

I downloaded this app because of a couple of translations were not available elsewhere, however the ads are so intrusive that i can’t stand to use the app. I would be interested in an ad-free pay version if available.

Reading Plan Review

I chose the Classical reading plan and I love it; however, it jumps around and can be confusing for new readers of the Bible. I wish I had chosen the Chronological Reading plan. I believe it would be easier. I do like the plan I have has different books to read from on the same day.
The con, at times I have to restart the app to see my reading plan. The reading plan will not be visible until I close out the app page from my history/recently viewed pages on the iPhone.
I definitely would suggest this Bible app.

Reading the Bible

I just want to read the Bible!

Review from Jacob Y.

Best Bible App I’ve found and used in a long time. 😇

Reading plans

Reading plans do not work on the app. I am actively using s reading plan on the website but when I try to continue it on the app, it does not work.

App is glitchy

I downloaded this app to track a specific reading schedule. It worked the first day. Won’t even pull up reading plans the second day. I’ve tried deleting and re-downloading. Now it won’t open just the Bible. I’ll probably delete it entirely and find a new app.

Glitchy

I picked up this app to start a new year reading plan. However the reading plan has since disappeared from the app.
Lots of pop-up adds as well.

The App

I started using this app on January the first. I have tried other apps and ended up deleting them because of the cost. Thank you for offering this for free.
However, while using the app when I first started, after my first day of reading the app didn't mark my readings and the next day it told me I had no plan. After a few refreshes of the page, the plan came back. I noticed that the verse was one thing and by the time I finished reading and went back to the home page the verse for the day had changed. There might be a lag in the app as well when updating my reading sessions. When I opened it this morning it was on day four when today is day six. Despite all that I do enjoy the app and I am excited about my reading plan for this year. I hope those minor issues can be corrected.

Bible study for today

Very educational

Audio Book

Just downloaded the app after finding the audio version of the KJV that I really loved. Was hoping to find that in the app as well. Maybe in a future update?
Regardless I think all of the resources within the app are very useful

This is a great app

I really like this app because it is much better than bringing a book bible with you every where you go. I also like how it saves what chapter you are in, and you can highlight the important verses to you,and this app gives you a bible verse everyday. I definitely RECOMMEND!!

Disappeared

I signed up for a reading plan and on the second day the plan disappeared and the app won’t allow me to search for it. My account shows that I have 1 reading plan active and yet the page is blank. Very discouraging.

Not for me

Downloaded the app, and within about 5 minutes I could tell it wasn’t for me. The pop up ads were non stop and uncontrollable.

Future Updates

New to the app, so far I am enjoying the functionality of the app and the various tools and guides to better understand GOD’s word. However, online Bible Study Tools offer a translation comparison feature that I absolutely love! I hope this feature is added to the app in the future.

App shows no plans

I’ve had to remove and re-install the app twice. Every time I go into it My Plans is blank and no other plans show up. It acts like it can’t communicate with your servers. Or, the add servers are holding up everything making the app useless!

So Far…

So far I like the app except for the sermons on here for pastors. If a pastor can not prepare a sermon for the congregation that is Holy Spirit inspired, then that person does not need to be behind a pulpit of any kind.

No longer my go to tool for study

I’m sad that this app is now very difficult to use. I had used this for years and I will not use it again. Strongs concordance is very difficult to use. This app used to be easy now its all adds and pop-ups. Greed has not served you.

Glitchy and has ads

I could forgive the buggy interface (half the study plans crash when you click on them). Why are there ads on an app that should just be an offline document reader? Why are there paywalls for texts and commentaries that PREDATE copyright? The only other scriptural app I've use is AccessToInsight, for Buddhists. No ads, no paywalls, just the whole canon plus a bunch of commentaries in plain text. Can't be that hard to get this kind of thing right, especially for religious texts.

Daily Bible Readig

I have been using Bible Study Tools for over 5 years. This latest update is frustrating to use. I prefer reading the Bible chronologically but find one year reading it does not enable me to receive the full benefit of His Word. So, I have been using the Chronologically reading but take two days to read their recommended daily scripture. It is almost impossible to find the checkmark side of the site and takes way too long to do something that used to be a nonissue. The site is no longer seamless. I would also love to see a 2 year reading in the Chronological version.
