But the app does not save as you go. If you go to a different page or accidentally went to a different app and come back. You lose everything that you worked on. This is a waste of my time I spent about an hour doing something in an accident went to a different page and when I came back, I lost it. All the concept is really great, but I cannot use this. I hope y’all fix this problem. I would love to be able to purchase this and actually use it. But at this point, I cannot use it. What a waste of time. ### 5/5 — Catholic Editions? *2026-05-21, version 1.0.6* Great app! This is really convenient for annotating on my IPad. Will you be expanding this app to include Catholic editions of the Bible eventually? ### 5/5 — Not Big Review Writer Either *2026-05-18, version 1.0.6* I had been using an app that charged you a subscription to write and another charge if you wanted a different version of the Bible to read. I decided to look at the App Store again and came across this app. “Bible Tiles” has no in app purchases, gives you access to more Bible versions, and has more settings and ways to customize your Bible and notes. Thank you to the creator/ creators of this app. It is very well designed and I am thankful for no extra charges. God Bless! ### 2/5 — Does not save markings *2026-05-16, version 1.0.6* Does not save the notes I leave in the margins and that’s the point to be able to mark up your bible and review your notes later. If there is a solution PLEASE LET ME KNOW! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-05-11, version 1.0.6* I started using this app on January 1st and have found many, many errors. Missing verses, sections missing, etc and I’ve sent two messages and never heard back. Now it seems to have reset and all of my notes are gone and I had to make a new Bible tile. What’s the point of drawing, highlighting, making notes if this happens? ### 5/5 — Love Bibles Tiles *2026-05-08, version 1.0.6* It’s really good and I love that you can have any colors you want! And abt the thing where it deletes your styff, it does do that, but you can just backup your styff right after you do it. Then you have a backup and it’s less likely to delete the bottom half! Yay! Totally get this app! ### 1/5 — Not saving *2026-04-12* I was really enjoying this app, but what I notice is when I begin writing on the bottom half of the notes, it doesn’t save. I even asked ChatGPT how to resolve this problem and it said to click out of the Bible Tiles so it can have time to save it, but it still doesn’t save it. It only saves the top half this is so frustrating. I love the design and I love the idea and I’ve been wanting something like this forever. You guys have to figure out how to fix this. Otherwise I cannot use it. ### 1/5 — Wrong verses. *2026-04-02, version 1.0.5* I thought it was the best bible app until i discovered Joshua 1:9 is completely taken out and the entire book of Psalms is missing. If these two things are wrong what else could be missing and preventing you and others from truly reading the word? ### 1/5 — No Catholic Edition *2026-02-20, version 1.0.5* How are they going to have a “conservative” version but not a catholic one?! ### 2/5 — Bug fix needed for iPad *2026-02-17, version 1.0.5* I’ve been having issues with using the markup tool on iPad. It doesn’t work at all and the only thing that the app does is scroll every time I try to draw or underline. I’ve also tried contacting you guys and never got a response back. Please fix this. ## Frequently asked questions about Bible Tiles ### What is Bible Tiles? Bible Tiles is a free digital application designed to enhance your Bible study experience.
