User reviews

Great app!

This is a great app and is so helpful for me to understand context and summaries from the Word. Loving the new layout as well!

Messed up a good app

This used to be my go to app but the last update ruined it. It used to be easy to navigate and the verse commentaries were helpful. All of that has seemed to change. I’m not happy with this update.

Awesome Bible Study App

I have been using this app for about a week now, and it has been really useful in my Bible study and not to mention it’s free!

Amazing

This app is amazing. This is my first app review and because I use this app alot, I decided to write this review. What makes this app stand out is that it gives you a summary of the book, chapter, each paragraph, and each verse. It makes understanding the bible alot easier. At the time im writing this, alot of the OT is still coming soon, but the gospels are all done. They should consider making a hard copy of this app. Great job guys.

Great, but incomplete.

I started by reading the New Testament first. The commentaries were great but when I started reading the Old Testament, many of the commentaries are labeled Coming Soon! If this was complete, it would be an easy 5 star rating. I REALLY appreciate all the work you’ve done. But in dealing with something as complex as the Bible, I can use all the help I can get.
