Looks horrible on iPhone X
This used to be my favourite bible app, but it has no support for the iPhone X screen and is very buggy in iOS 12 even after the so called “iOS 12 update” .. Considering how much I spent on the app buying all the extra translations and unlocking every feature it offers, I was hoping for better and faster update service. Sad to see the developer giving up on what used to be the best bible app in the App Store.

Trouble with advertised features.
I can not copy and share to Facebook or text other people. I can even get to customer service. I would not buy the app.
No Family Sharing
I paid $22+ and now I find it is not able to be shared with my wife via Family Sharing. DO NOT BUY !!!
Excellent & Wow! (11/11/15 update)
Post-Nov. 11, 2015 update:
fantastic! Really. Way to go, whoever was responsible. All nice touches.
Earlier review (updated a little):
Very good app, though every now and then some strange freeze-up, only fixable by deleting and re-downloading. (Maybe turning phone off/on woulda fixed it. Dunno.) - Switching how I was holding iPhone - to "landscape" orientation, then back to "portrait" position - cleared it up, last time. Simple.
But, overall, great app.
(I'm on an iPhone 5, runnin' iOS 8.1.3, I think it is - held off on iOS 8.2 and 8.3 upgrades.)

Love this Bible... But
This has been my "go to" Bible on both the iPad and my iPhone for years and it has rarely let me down. But I noticed a glitch with the NLT in that the verses won't highlight, so I went to the website. That's when I noticed that the latest version is 5.4 and my app is still at 5.1.6. on both devices. Further, the website is totally unresponsive except for showing my notes. What's going on?

Wonderful Bible App
by: Dr. D. Thompson - April 12, 2012
This is a wonderful app and well worth the money. I am disappointed in the loss of the NIV 1984 version of the Bible. Please get this version back as soon as possible. Once in place, this is a five-star product again.

Having some trouble
I LOVE this and use it every day but I am having trouble with the daily readings which require Internet. I always get the message that I am not connected to the internet but I am through both wifi and cellular. This feature has always worked for me before so I am confused why it doesn't work now. Is this a bug that needs fixing? Please help!

Biblescope
A very goog user interface, very responsive, results of your searches are displayed before you expect them, very satisfied, keep improving it!
Everyone should have this app.
I have never submitted a review of any product or app before, however feel compelled to do so with this app. This app has been life-changing for me. To have always at my side, the complete bible in a very convenient and readily accessible form on my iPhone, without having to carry around the actual book itself, has dramatically simplified my daily bible study. The ability to quickly and effortlessly change from one version to the next and to quickly jump to referenced passages, has helped me to achieve a deeper understanding of the scriptures, even ones that had been previously confusing. The ability to easily and conveniently bookmark passages and take notes with the note taking feature, has allowed me to be more organized in my study efforts. This app is so easy to use, and of course always keeps your place for you, enabling you to pick up and start reading right where you left off, even if you have only a few minutes here or there throughout the day to read it. I have never experienced a failure in the app to work properly, and OS upgrades and even transfers to new iPhones have taken place flawlessly, even my notes and bookmarks have always been preserved and maintained. This app has been so helpful in my efforts to read, study and understand the bible, that I wish everyone could also have it and likewise benefit from it. I have given all of my family members this app as a gift, in hopes that it can do for them what it has done for me. Hopefully, it can do the same for you. God bless!

Best Bible App
I have played with a few other Bible apps but have not found one that has all the translations I want as well as languages in one. And now with the iPad and being able to see two Bibles side by side it is amazing!
Not bad but crummy search engine.
Not bad but crummy search engine. Hight-light mode difficult to use. Some bugs.
Tons of glitches. :-(
Was really hoping to be able to write a nice review for any app that promotes reading the Bible. But this is not the one. Must say, I'm a bit disappointed. Can't always depend on the borders going away after tapping the screen, and the minimize maximize function rarely works. Those are like the two most important things when trying to read a Bible passage, imo.
Also, sometimes it book marks my passage if I'm kicked out of the screen due to time or whatever. And other times, I have to go look up the verses again. Makes it a bit cumbersome when trying to follow a sermon while in church.
I would recommend shopping around a bit before settling on this app. Hopefully, the authors are looking at some serious upgrading, and soon!
Disappointed overall.

Fantastic value!
Many bible programs are quite expensive with you paying for each and every bit and translation. This app gives many versions with it plus devotionals, a dictionary, Strong's numbers and more. I LOVE IT!
I wanted to love
this application as these are my two favorite versions of the Bible. But I am having trouble with a couple of things. The words of Christ are not in red, nor will they go to red, or any of the offered colors when I try thru settings, and it will not automatically go to landscape mode, tho I have it set to do so. It was not as intuitive as a free bible download I have. I am hoping for improvement in future updates. It is a very expensive application to have these problems.

It's not Olive Tree
Ok, right off the bat, it's not Olive Tree (Bible software), and if that's what you're expecting, you'll be let down. But here's the thing ... youll be let down A LITTLE. For the money, this is a great remedial Bible app.
For $30, you get a LOT. The KJV with Strong's is, excuse me, FREE with the app, as are quite a few other references. The Byzantine Greek text is also yours for the taking. Nice touch.
Admittedly, the interface is a little clunky. The search function is underpowered ... I need my Boolean tools! It feels like they kind of rushed to get it out, but I, for one, am glad they did. And, it's entirely possible that from this platform, this app can become every bit as good as "that other one".
As a looong time OTBS user, I freely admit, I love this app, and I'm very glad I got it.

Worth it!
I purchased the app when it first came out and since then there have been a bunch of good updates. Easy to use, and very handy. I love having many different versions of the Bible with me at all times.
Doesn
I purchased this and it doesn't work with my touch even though the description says it does. an error message pops up saying I need 'Iphone OS'. Looking for some support to see how to fix it.
Great Bible App!!
After the 3.0.1 update, i still can't download easton's bible dictionary. It says it is included but i can't find it. I deleted this app and downloaded it several times but still...no Easton's Bible Dictionary. It's still loading so slow...unlike Paul Every's Holy Bible and Olive Tree NIV Bible Pack where the respose/download time is fast. Please this one need fixing...
This was my previous review:
FMy only concern is the loading time. It is too slow compared to other bible app. Why is it that the Easton's Bible Dictionary was not included in this app?

Glad I took the plung.
Best Bible ever. Now you can listen to the Bible in a year on line from this application. How cool is that.
This Bible application is outstanding!
I tried out several different Bible applications, and this one was by far the best of them all. I love the ability to highlight and make notes. The split screen is really nice when I can have the NIV on the top screen and the NIRV on the bottom screen, so that I can more easily explain scriptures to my children. It's also great to be able to search by key words, in case you want to find a passage of scripture, but can't remember where to look. I would give this application more than 5 stars if it were possible.
