### 4/5 — Quite amazing

*2018-07-27, version 2.3*

After some fiddling around, I discovered how to set up the parallel bibles showing the ASV, the Hebrew and the concordance. Stunning, really. I would like it if the concordance would bring up the deeper Strong’s meanings but frankly, this is an amazing design. THANK YOU!

### 4/5 — Very useful free app

*2018-04-27, version 2.3*

I have been looking for a simple bible app that works offline. I tried tecarta, but I had to sign up for an account to download the NIV. Why do I need to give out my email address before I can read the Bible?!! THIS APP IS BETTER. I did not have to give out my information to use it, and I am able to download a range of bible translations to read offline all for free and no hassle. (although NIV is not included, but ASV & ESV are) The interface is very clean with no ads. My only suggestions are that it would be nice to have a night mode and to be able to change the text font. Otherwise this app is really great and it doesn’t have a lot of excessive features that clutter other bible apps.

### 5/5 — Offline Interlinear

*2018-04-12, version 2.3*

I do not have internet and most Bible apps require being online to access Greek tools. I really appreciate having the program on my device.

## Version history (last 1 release)

### 2.3 — 2018-01-18

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

Major changes:
- added "backward" and "forward" button for navigating "Bible Topics".
- added "Bible Passage" popover for verse reference(s) in book introductions.
- fixed crashes happened with "Sync" action selected in some conditions (This is an essential fix.  Users of all pervious versions are advised to get this update).
- corrected verse reference shown on the navigation bar after triggering "Sync" action.
- corrected verse synchronisation for all special features after triggering "Sync" action.
- corrected scrolling on "Bible Passage" popover, so that verses selected from dictionary / encyclopaedia / book introduction are scrolled to visible area and highlighted properly when popover comes up.
- Selection on "Interlinear" view now brings up "non-editable" and "selectable" details of a selected Hebrew / Aramaic / Greek word.

Reminder:
- The left-to-right swiping action, "Interlinear", automatically loads the currently active Hebrew / Greek morphological data, chosen in a special feature, "Comparison & Morphology". To make use of "Interlinear" action, users have to install at least one morphological data set for Old Testament, e.g. "BHSA", and one morphological data for New Testament, e.g. "SBLGNT". There is nothing for "Interlinear" popover to show if no data is installed.

To install a morphological data set:
1) Open special feature, "Comparison & Morphology".
2) Select a data version from the menu to start an installation.
*** Please keep your screen and this app on during data installation.  Data are automatically loaded when installation is completed.
*** Morphological data sets of Old Testament are different from that of New Testament. With feature "Comparison & Morphology" opened, touch an Old Testament verse in main bible view to update the list of morphological data sets for Old Testament. In the same way, touch a New Testament verse in main bible view to update the list of morphological data sets for New Testament.)
