I have enjoyed Mike Wingers videos on YouTube for a long time, and now it’s nice to have all the content organized in this app for free! ### 5/5 — Bible Teacher *2020-07-25, version 1.0.2* Mike is an amazing teacher. ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-07-25, version 1.0.2* This app is great for those who wish to dive a little deeper into God’s word and obtain every ounce of nourishment from it. Mike is a wonderful teacher and does a ton of leg work studying for each topic and lays it out perfectly so anyone at any level of spiritual maturity can understand. ### 5/5 — Great Bible teaching at the touch of a button. *2020-07-25, version 1.0.2* Great app to listen to some excellent Bible teaching from Mike Winger. You can stream the video’s or just listen to the audio; all organised by topic and series. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Biblical teaching at its finest. *2020-01-28, version 1.0.2* Great App for all kinds of different biblical subjects. Mike Winger dives deep into a wide array of subjects and cultural aspects relating them all back to a highly detailed biblical point of view. Using resources from the Bible and other highly qualified professionals, he’s able to finally decipher the Bible and it’s profound mysteries and have it make sense. No Mumbo Jumbo or wild theory, just solid teachings. The App is easy to navigate through and starts up quickly even when streaming through cellular service. One thing I would like to see added is a store! I need Bible Thinker Merch! Thanks Mike, and keep up the good work brother. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2020-01-20, version 1.0.1* Love your YouTube page. For some reason the videos on the app do not load. :’( ### 5/5 — Mike Winger is a great help *2019-08-20, version 1.0* This app is amazing and so are the teaching of Mike. Always keep him in your prayers that God continues to guide him. ### 5/5 — Blessed *2019-08-15, version 1.0* My husband and I have always been blessed with these videos. Excited to see that they were about to make an app to locate videos easier!! ### 5/5 — Great app for quick access to Pastor Mike Winger’s YouTube ministry. *2019-08-14, version 1.0* If you love Mike Winger’s YouTube video ministry then you’ll love this app. It also has just the audio for the time you want to listen but not watch. ### 5/5 — An Atheist who loves Mike Winger *2019-08-12, version 1.0* Although I’m a committed Atheist I’m also a huge fan of Mike Winger. His humble heart and very real love for others is evident and his YouTube channel has been great from day one. ### 5/5 — Listen feature! *2019-08-12, version 1.0* One of the things I like to do is fall asleep listening to one of Mike’s sermons. Until now I’ve had to let YouTube run. Now with the listen feature I can listen with my phone ‘off’. How wonderful! ### 5/5 — Great thoughtful rational discussions *2019-08-12, version 1.0* I appreciate Pastor Mike and the way that he represents the gospel and also the challenges facing people today regarding faith in Jesus Christ and questions of trusting the Bible. Also the app is organized well and easy to navigate. Thanks Pastor Mike ### 5/5 — Honest, Biblical, and well researched *2019-08-10, version 1.0* One of the best and most helpful Bible teachers I’ve ever run across. I may not agree on everything 100%, but I’ve learned so much from this man. God bless you Mike and keep up the good work for God’s kingdom. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Starts from beginning after pause *2021-10-03, version 1.0.12* I updated today and have the same issue. Every time I hit pause the entire episode starts over. Please fix :/ ### 1/5 — App Not Work *2020-01-24, version 1.0.1* The app worked when first downloaded. Now I cannot bring up any content. As soon as the app opens there is a error message and that’s as far as I can get. I deleted and then reinstalled the app, same issue. My OS is up to date. Frustrating. ### 1/5 — Awesome teacher!!!! All glory to God!!!!! *2019-08-08, version 1.0* One of the very best Bible teachers and is such a servant of Christ!!! Mike always gives solid biblical truth. ### 2/5 — Great app but I have one issue with it *2021-02-18, version 1.0.10* After downloading a teaching I play it through my vehicles Bluetooth. The problem I am having is when I stop the teaching and then resume I lose where I left off and it goes back to the beginning. The app needs the ability to bookmark so that this does not happen. Please update the app. ### 3/5 — Content is great, the app is not *2022-07-23, version 1.0.12* I recently started listening to Bible Thinker and extremely enjoy Pastor Mike’s in depth study on all kinds of topics and Scriptures. I primarily listen in the car played from my iPhone. What I’ve found is the Bible Thinker content is not easily accessible in audio form and also not easy to search and play the exact content I’m looking for. The Apple podcast app is the best option for reliable playback but there’s no way to search the 600+ items. This app theoretically can search and also play audio only, but it is buggy and unreliable and even plays the wrong item if you download several and try to select one. So I’ve actually just played from the website where the search works pretty well. The downside is it plays embedded YT video so you can’t do audio only for bandwidth impacts or simultaneously using your device for other functions like navigation. Bottomline, I’d highly recommend investing in a reliable app with robust search capability and options for video and audio-only playback to meet the needs of the commuter. ### 3/5 — Content A+, App Function C *2020-12-09, version 1.0.9* Love having Mike’s stuff organized and searchable and downloadable. However, the app really needs rewind and fast forward buttons because the slider/scrubber is too difficult to use to go back 15 or 30 seconds. I end up going back to YouTube just because of that. ### 3/5 — Who is it glorifying? *2019-08-09, version 1.0* There is no discussion section. Why? Maybe a question bank where people can submit questions should be added. Maybe something that would make messaging Mike available. Possibly a bible within the app, or an annotated bible download. I know I’m adding to the work but why should there be an app if there isn’t much to it? Links to teachers you support, links to teachers you oppose, links to scripture, or commentaries, or bad theology, or lists of things you don’t know, or listed figures of speech, or listed orientalists, or links to historical articles. Teach people with diagrams, with charts, with pdf documents about how all scripture interprets itself. Teach people how revelation progresses throughout the whole bible from Genesis 3-Revelation. Think outside of the box. ### 4/5 — Great!! (Just one suggestion) *2022-08-19, version 1.0.12* Thank you so much for this app! I love the content and appreciate being able to search the topics and having the choice to watch OR listen. The material has been life changing for me, and the way it’s presented makes it understandable. I have one suggestion: I find it difficult to rewind when I missed something and need to hear it again. I’d LOVE to have a 10 or 15 second rewind/fast forward option. ### 4/5 — Crashes when listening podcasts… *2021-11-08, version 1.0.12* Crashes when click on podcasts… the videos are fine, but it will crash when I tried to listen to the audio. I’m using an iPhone. Hope you can fix it ! ### 5/5 — Wonderful Truths *2023-03-09, version 1.0.12* Thank you Pastor Mike Winger for Gospel centered Biblical Thinking and Theology. Great Source. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mike Winger Bible Thinker *2022-06-10, version 1.0.12* I’ve watched on YouTube on tv in my search for truth. 63 y/o grandma-my bible knowledge was good but wisdom kept me from salvation. Your program has helped me so much. 8 month old Christ follower!! “Fake it till you make it” and your hard honesty helped my husband and myself change unchristian behaviors deeply rooted in our personalities. God alone saves but teaching is essential!! I’m no longer the person I was!! Praise God!! ### 5/5 — Thank You *2021-10-03, version 1.0.12* Thank you, Bible Thinker. You don’t know how much your ministry has been a blessing to the many who view your channel ### 5/5 — Helped me become a bible nerd *2021-10-02, version 1.0.12* Accidentally finding Mike/Marks videos on the gospel of Mark on YouTube ignited a desire in me to know what God actually says in the bible and to see things in context instead of how my feelings wanted to interpret verses. Can’t recommend his videos enough, because as I have been learning, taking time to learn what God actually wants to say to us through his word will change your life forever! ### 5/5 — The best Bible teacher of our time… *2021-10-02, version 1.0.12* Reformed or not Mike is the best Bible teacher of our time. He is the ONLY person I’ve ever heard put together a coherent perspective against Calvinism (even if I don’t agree with it entirely). He is the best of the best! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-10-01, version 1.0.12* Pastor Mike has been life saving, since giving myself to Jesus, I have learned more then I ever could have imagined. Learning to think biblically about everything. Thank you! ### 5/5 — So clear and so helpful *2020-12-25, version 1.0.9* I have been blessed by this teaching Mike is clear and biblical Thanks for sharing your teaching ### 5/5 — Legit teacher! *2020-09-07, version 1.0.6* I found out about Mike Winger on youtube and the clarity of his explanations is impressive. He isn’t trying to entertain, he really explains and makes the Bible so interesting and accessible. And what I love is that he provides different perspectives so we can learn to analyse the Bible. Love this ministry! ### 5/5 — Bible Study *2020-07-27, version 1.0.2* I absolutely love this website and the videos that Mike Winger records. The videos are so relevant to daily living and are Biblically correct. I look forward to the content and applications that can be gleaned from his Bible studies! ### 5/5 — Great study tool *2020-07-26, version 1.0.2* This app has taken me so much deeper into the Bible, seeing things I never saw before! It’s given me a desire to walk much closer to the Father. Thank you, Mike! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
