App is not working properly

The app is not responsive on both iPhone and iPad. When the results appear, the text overlaps, which makes it difficult to read. I also experienced issues such as “Unable to generate insight” and the model’s safety guardrails being triggered unexpectedly. I hope these bugs can be fixed in future updates because the app has great potential.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting these issues. I’m sorry for the problems you’ve experienced with the iPhone and iPad versions, especially the text overlapping and “Unable to generate insight” errors. I’m actively working to improve the app’s responsiveness and reliability. Please contact me at hardeepsah@icloud.com so I can learn more about your device and the issues you encountered and investigate them further. Your feedback is very helpful as I continue improving the app. Thank you for giving it a try and for recognizing its potential.

App has HUGE potential

Here are suggestions to make this App great: 1) Journal, Prayer text box section could use a undo button. Also, it is very difficult writing in that small box (could expand open). Verses links to other chatpers you are not currently using. Right now, you can’t create any verse links in the Journal text box. 2) Verse Notes are saved with the Verse for easy access. The AI component is wonderful, but you should be able to save the research - inline or under the verse.

Response from developer

I’ve updated the app with improvements to the Journal, and you can now add Bible verses directly to your journal entries. Please update to the latest version and give it a try. I truly appreciate your feedback and support in making the app better!

The Best Bible App

This is the best bible app in the store, hands down for daily and independent study. Sleek, Efficient, and offers optimal functionality. I don’t hand out reviews at random; I love apps and the genius of developers, this app is exclusive. I can’t wait to see where the developers take this though the minimalism is amazing as is. It’s a Swiss Army knife for Students, Theologians, and Spiritual Advisors. Excellent work.

A good Bible reading app, missing a few key features

I was looking for a simple Bible reading app where I can read the scripture and quickly navigate the Bible and adjust the font size. This app definitely fits the bill there and I will continue using it.
There are a few things I wish the developer would add:
First, I really want to collapse the right sidebar like I can the left sidebar. It’s distracting when I’m trying to read. Bonus points if you add a keyboard shortcut for both.
Second, it would be nice to be able to switch between paragraph mode and regular mode.
Third, you’ve integrated strongs, which is nice. But it would be more useful if you could easily turn on strongs numbers inline with the text. Honestly, I will likely continue to use other tools (like Blue Letter Bible online) for any kind of study. Fix the first two things and this will be my default reading app and a strong recommendation for me.
