### 4/5 — Love this organization BUT…

*2026-07-28, version 2.24.1*

I would like them to add NRSV and KJV in the app for the scholars.

### 4/5 — Amazing App, Please Add Portuguese!!

*2026-07-07*

I absolutely love this app! I’ve also been following you on YouTube.

I can understand some things, but I would really love it if the videos, the app, and the website had full Portuguese translations. 😭❤️

God bless you! 🙏🏽

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2026-05-03, version 2.23.1*

I use this app daily.  I just found my faith last year and struggled to understand the Bible in the Beginning.  I started watching the videos, used the notes provided and I love the posters.

### 5/5 — A Gift That Keeps on Giving

*2026-04-28, version 2.23.1*

A remarkable resource that has helped me grow in my walk with Jesus. I am so thankful. I work in SE Asia amongst an unreached group and the podcasts and videos have helped so much in my exegetical understanding of the greatest story ever told. Thank you Bible Project!

### 5/5 — Best App Ever!!!

*2026-04-27, version 2.23.1*

This is seriously my favorite app I have. It is so informative and really helps you learn the true meaning of Gods word. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. The Bible is so much more than I ever even expected now that I know how to read it properly. Thank you Bible Project.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-04-23, version 2.23.1*

I absolutely love this app. The videos breaking down what each chapter is about have helped me understand the Bible so much more. Whoever created this app God bless you and THANK YOUUU!!!🙏🏽❤️

### 5/5 — This App makes my day, everyday!

*2026-04-11, version 2.23*

I am so happy I found this app to help me understand the bible in a visual and modern way. I’m so thankful I can watch a few videos a day and learn more a little God 💙 thank you for making this a donation based app, I pray that you all are blessed infinitely 🙏🏼

### 5/5 — Amazing Resource

*2026-03-27, version 2.22.1*

Whether you’re new to Christianity, educating a child, a long time believer, or a skeptic, you will find tons of helpful resources in the Bible Project app.  My daughter and I have been through most every video twice, I’ve listened to hundreds of podcasts (both Bible Project and My Strange Bible), and read articles, and I always amazed at how accessible Tim Mackie, John Collins, and their team have made the Bible.

### 5/5 — Love this

*2026-03-18, version 2.22.1*

This app really help you understand I really enjoy it I would highly recommend it recommended it to everyone

### 5/5 — A couple suggestions

*2026-03-10, version 2.21.1*

I think it would be really cool if you could look up specific first names on the Bible page

### 5/5 — I’m awestruck that this is a thing that exists - what a time to be alive!

*2026-03-06, version 2.21.1*

To the entire team, I just have to say - God has directly called you all to draw His people nearer to Him - so thank you!! THANK YOU for answering the call, because this app and your team are a LITERAL God-send. Capital “G”

My understanding of the written Word and my thirst and hunger for righteousness would absolutely not be what it is today had it not been for you all. Your humility and persistent focus on Jesus is palpable to your many listeners. Jon and Tim have such an amazing way of unpacking even the deepest, most controversial, parts of scripture - Tim’s continual pursuit of truth and accuracy and seeing/revealing “the Jesus” in everything throughout the entire biblical narrative and Jon’s consistent neutral state of wonder and desire to tie these truths that he learns into the bigger picture - which is the macrocosm of life - I really have no words to describe how great this combo is - both of you have these amazing gifts and attributes and I’m astounded by the way God has woven time and events together so that you two could meet and do this thing!!

The whole team is so special - I’ve heard so many other great additions to these resources from others besides Tim and Jon, as well - and the dedication and commitment 
you’ve ALL shown is mind-blowing. It’s clear you all have a heart for the Lord.

Because of you guys answering God’s call - my faith is strengthened and my relationship with the Lord will no longer falter the way it has in the past due to misunderstanding God’s character. (Due to a number of reasons, but mostly my lack of insight and not knowing where to turn to gain said insight) - I also greatly misunderstood my own role as a child of God, and that continues to get fixed all the time. Who He is and who He says I am are perpetually becoming more and more pertinent. God is pursuing relentlessly. He will finish His good works! In us and otherwise!

The Bible project is a prayer answered long ago for many lost sheep - who even today are praying for clearer answers - who are praying to get closer to God (or to become more aware of His presence). For new believers and non-believers - I can confidently say that ALL of your Biblical questions can be answered here and questions you didn’t even know you had!

May the gospel reach to the ends of the earth - by many means - but also by these extremely clarifying and rich resources you offer. May the Lord continue to bless and keep you all. Shalom!

### 5/5 — A Great Resource!

*2026-03-05, version 2.21.1*

Love all the different options to learn more about the word of God. From podcasts to classes, video series and articles! Makes learning the Bible a lot easier. Thank you! Have been a fan of BibleProject for a while now!

### 5/5 — Videos out of order?

*2026-03-01, version 2.21.1*

I love the app, and have been using it a lot, but just recently I noticed that the video chapters are suddenly all out of order, and I don’t know how to reorder them. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck. I’m not sure how to fix it. Thank you for making the project and God bless you!

### 3/5 — Why is this happening

*2026-02-27, version 2.21.1*

My app was working fine for 2 years and then suddenly it stops loading

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-02-22, version 2.21.1*

This is a fantastic resource for understanding the Bible and learning the who, what, where and why.

### 5/5 — The BibleProject is amazing

*2026-02-10, version 2.21.1*

Tim and Jon do a great job of explaining the Bible. Tim is very knowledgeable which is an under statement. Jon has this thing  about always asking the right questions in there discussions. I’d love to hear Tim read the bible in his translation, the way he reads it in his head. That would be awesome! I also believe the BibleProject is vehicle that gets the word of Christ to all nations.

### 5/5 — A must have!

*2026-02-10, version 2.21*

So thankful I came across the Bible Project while reading plans on YouVersion. I really appreciated the visual commentaries as I read through the entire Bible & wondered if there could be more! Then I found the app! Wow!! I have learned so much! I’ve gone thru their videos, podcasts & Classes & they are all so rich, yet Dr. Tim & Jon bring it across in a manner that is for everyone and I’m thankful for that. I have been a Christ follower for 20+ years and daily I’m learning new things w the Bible Project. Thankful!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Unacceptable to have accounts on this app.

*2026-03-17, version 2.22.1*

I am seeing the warnings about an account being required soon to save progress. This is unacceptable. There is absolutely no need for an account. We are all so utterly sick of every single thing in our life requiring an account. The only reason to do this is to track and sell data and otherwise nefarious or manipulative spyware. Best case scenario is you eventually don’t have good enough security and get hacked snd the information is out there. 
This is not needed at all for the functioning of this app and it is especially egregious when it is removing AN ALREADY FUNCTIONAL FEATURE. You have to actually spend effort to go in and un-program the use of a beneficial feature that already exists. No, it is not going to be used to improve my user experience, I do not believe you, everyone who ever said that before was lying. This is going to be used by google, facebook, etc to sell to them so they can profile me and advertise christian podcasts to me or otherwise profile me. 
Get this garbage out of our lived. Please fire whatever 3rd party consulting firm or materialistic financial opportunist is pulling you in this direction. 
Will be deleting if an account is required and I hope others follow that too.

### 1/5 — Update sadness

*2026-01-09, version 2.20.2*

Aside from the fact that I’m now required to have an account to view anything it seems (because I updated the app sadly)… I can’t even accomplish that goal. I have little to no network connection where I am. I’m so sad. Many features have changed and I must change to another app that can perform. Prior I could toggle to videos, podcasts, Bible, skills, and journey. Though I didn’t use the features often I absolutely loved them because they grew me in my understanding. I’m easily overwhelmed while I recover from a TBI so I was not often able to use all these. Why change something so efficient and thorough to something less so? God bless you all for bringing Him to us in ways that truly bring a closer relationship with our Saviour.

### 1/5 — Non Christian writers

*2025-01-07, version 2.12.1*

I just got the Bible project app. It sounded so good, but after watching the videos of what you say the Bible is about, and the story of the Bible. I believe the story tellers are Jewish and not Christian. You speak  about Jesus as only a prophet. You never say messiah or savior. You speak of the New Testament as the Jesus movement and another extension of the Bible that Christians use. This type of wording is very transparent. I think if you are not Christian, you shouldn’t teach about Christianity. I’m sorry, but I do not recommend this app for Christians.

### 1/5 — Can’t Download App!

*2024-10-05, version 2.8.1*

Apparently I had used/tried to the app previously, because I had it on Cloud. But this morning tried to set up new (new email) account, added new password: “Something Went Wrong, Try Again Later”.  😶

### 1/5 — App won’t work as it is intended.

*2023-06-12, version 1.5.4*

Won’t let me reset password so that I can use my account on the app. I won’t be able to keep track of podcasts listened too. If they have a problem with me they should speak up and instead of being petty. This kind of behaviour leads to a sinful life. So the fact that I can’t use my account that I created on this app and that it has locked me out shows that the Christian community isn’t welcoming. What GOD say?

### 1/5 — No NKJV

*2021-12-23, version 1.0.3*

No NKJV.

### 2/5 — Please remove Jonathan. His contributions are annoying and distracting.

*2026-08-09, version 2.24.1*

Giovanni

### 2/5 — Notes

*2026-07-14, version 2.24.1*

Why were the notes removed?   Loved this app, but that was such a helpful piece.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2025-12-05*

The banner at the top of the home menu keeps rapidly blinking. Even though I uninstalled and reinstalled.

### 2/5 — KJV

*2025-05-28, version 2.15.6*

There is no King James Version. Sons of these versions are missing full verses. Install KJV

### 5/5 — Incredible Graphics, Sound Instruction

*2026-08-07, version 2.24.1*

Discovered these lessons almost 10 years ago & keep coming back. There's really nothing else quite like it out there. Sound theological teaching & fascinating visuals.  So appreciative of this work.

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2026-07-27, version 2.24.1*

Every morning this year I have listened to the Bible Project app. I started with the videos, but now I love the classes and podcasts even more! I'm learning something new everyday. Praise God for a free way I can know Him better everyday.

### 5/5 — The Best Out There!

*2026-07-22, version 2.24.1*

BY FAR, my recommendation for a place to start with Scriptural questions are the Bible Project crew. A mix of theologians / teachers and high level graphic designers who are making incredible, free, deeply sound and modern work on the Scripture today. Everything they do is high quality and thoughtful.

### 5/5 — The Best Bible Study App I’ve Used

*2026-07-16, version 2.24.1*

I’ve tried several Bible study apps, and BibleProject has been the most helpful by far. It doesn’t just explain individual verses, it helps you understand the bigger story of the Bible and how everything points to Jesus. The videos are beautifully made, easy to understand, and biblically faithful.

I especially appreciate how it encourages me to read Scripture in context instead of just looking for isolated passages. Whether you’re new to the Bible or have been studying it for years, this app is an incredible resource. Best of all, it’s completely free and made with excellence.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to grow deeper in their understanding of God’s Wor

### 5/5 — Great Resource

*2026-07-13, version 2.24.1*

I love the Bible Project app. It has been helpful to me to understand the Bible in an easier and lighter way. I highly recommend to give this app a try if you are into learning how to understand the and also drawing close to the word, texts and its meanings.

### 5/5 — absolutely LOVE the bibleproject

*2026-06-13, version 2.24.1*

### 5/5 — First time reviewer

*2026-06-02, version 2.24.1*

First time ever reviewing and commenting. Ever. Thank you for your passion, knowledge and dedication to teaching all topics from the Bible in a digestible, down to earth and engaging way! The shared knowledge, awe inspiring videos, engaging podcasts and overall teachings are AMAZING.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2026-05-24, version 2.24*

Great app

### 5/5 — An amazing app for beginners

*2026-05-19*

This app has helped me understand the bible greatly. It has animated videos, great for visual learners, podcasts and sooo much information if you’re trying to read and understand the bible. AND IT’S FREE!!! I love this app and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!! Thank you bible project!!

### 5/5 — Makes the Bible exciting!

*2026-05-10, version 2.23.1*

I grew up reading the Bible regularly and I have always enjoyed Bible studies, digging deeper and learning from others. The Bible Project podcasts and videos about how the Bible was formed and how to read it have made me so excited to read it so much more!  Instead of thinking, “I should read my Bible” I’m thinking, “I can’t wait to get back to my Bible!” Thank you!
