Why would I download a Catholic Bible app if the Bible featured is the same as a Protestant Bible app? Very ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Not Complete Catholic Bible *2024-12-18, version 4.0.2* This app is missing several books in the Catholic Bible: Tobit, Judith, 1st Book of Maccabees, 2nd Book of Maccabees, Wisdom, Sirach (Ecclesiasticus), and Baruch. ### 1/5 — Not a catholic bible *2024-11-23, version 4.0.2* Dont put the name catholic bible on it if it has only 66 books. It must be 73 ### 1/5 — It says Catholic but it’s not! *2024-11-15, version 4.0.2* The app says it’s catholic but it doesn’t have the Catholic books! Sirach, Tobit to name a few! ### 4/5 — Something off about the app *2024-10-14, version 4.0.2* While it helps me read many verses, there are too many ads to deal with, so please have less ads. ### 1/5 — Not Catholic *2024-10-08, version 4.0.2* Missing 7 Books from the Catholic Bible ### 1/5 — Not Catholic *2024-09-23, version 4.0.2* This bible does not contain the 73 books of the catholic bible. It is the 66 books of the Protestant text. Not Catholic, beware. ### 1/5 — This is a Protestant Bible *2024-09-10, version 4.0.2* The deuterocananicals are missing from this app. I paid for a two year subscription before discovering this. I guess that’s on me. I’m trying to get a refund but the subscription doesn’t even show up on my account. ### 1/5 — Way way way too many pop ups *2024-08-29, version 4.0.2* The constant advertising interrupts the flow of the text. Really awful for reading the Bible at any contemplative level. ### 1/5 — Worst bible app ever *2024-08-19, version 4.0.2* If I could rate lower I would, it does not have the books of maccabees, or Tobit/tobias and on my watch I can only read quotes that rarely change Ωψ translation : oops👎🏻 ### 3/5 — Matches it’s purpose, but deceiving name *2024-08-04* It’s a good Bible, yeah, but it has 66 books, not 72. This is a Protestant Bible. ### 1/5 — Ángel *2024-08-01, version 4.0.2* This Bible is not catholic The real catholic bible contains 73 books ### 4/5 — The text audio don’t work *2024-07-29, version 4.0.2* The text audio doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Takes your money but doesn’t go as free *2024-05-03* Twice took my £2.99 but did not go ad free. ### 2/5 — Mistakes *2024-04-02, version 4.0* A lot of the Psalms are messed up, Psalm 7:1 in NRSVCE says “O Lord my God, in you I take refuge; save me from my pursuers, and deliver me,” but in the app it says something completely off ### 1/5 — Readings Doesn't Match *2024-03-19* The readings doesn't match to the verses, deleted it now ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not a Catholic Bible *2026-01-18, version 5.3* This Bible is missing 7 books, and is in fact a Protestant bible ### 1/5 — Misleading *2026-01-14, version 5.3* Not a catholic Bible ### 1/5 — Misleading do no download *2026-01-02, version 5.2* This is not a catholic bible at all as others have said before it is a Protestant bible because its missing the 7 other books in the old testament I don’t like how someone who creates app on here and throws on the word Catholic on here all to get people to download don’t fall for this scam of an app ### 1/5 — Not a Catholic Bible *2025-11-30, version 5.1* Catholic Bible has 73 books. Thi bible has 66. ### 1/5 — NOT a Catholic Bible *2025-11-30, version 5.1* This does not contain the deuterocanonical books, this is a Protestant Bible not a Catholic Bible ### 1/5 — False advertising *2025-11-23, version 5.1* Not a catholic bible, only has 66 books not 73 ### 1/5 — Sadly not as Advertised *2025-08-24, version 5.0* Hi, this is not a Catholic Bible App. The Holy Catholic Bible has 46 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament. This app has only 66 books, not 73 which the Holy Catholic Bible has. This is a Protestant Bible App. Sadly I can’t use this app because it doesn’t have a complete Bible. ### 1/5 — Not True Catholic Bible *2025-07-25* This app has 66 books, its a protestant Bible. Catholic Bible has 72. The verse numbers do Not match to the actual Bible, it is completely wrong. ### 1/5 — In app purchases annoying *2025-05-04, version 4.0.2* Same inane and annoying commercials for game apps that are found in solitaire and other "free"apps. What has that got to do with the Bible? ### 1/5 — NOT a Catholic Bible *2025-02-04, version 4.0.2* Misleading information in the app description. Seven books of the Old Testament are missing ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — NEW TO ME *2026-02-10, version 5.4* I continue to learn more about God through the Catholic Bible. I’m enJOYing it immensely. Living in capital letters JOY! Jesus JOY is my strength, Nehemiah 8:10 ### 5/5 — I rate this app 5! *2024-10-06, version 4.0.2* This app helps me getting near to god anytime and anywhere ### 5/5 — John *2023-12-25* Very very useful and easy to use ### 5/5 — Holy Bible *2023-12-14, version 4.0* I love carrying it with me. I am always carrying my phone and can use it anytime I want/need ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-11-12* although there can be a slight technical issue, besides that this app is great! I love the highlighting& note features. It also comes with a bible plan so you can keep track of your reading. Not only this but there are quizzes, and you can change the colour/theme and fonts. Would highly recommend 😁. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2023-10-11* Easy to use little program- totally intuitive! **Developer response:** Hello Farming Lass, thank you so much for the amazing review and 5 stars! We're constantly improving, and your support keeps us going strong. ### 5/5 — Works even offline *2023-09-27, version 4.0* I am trying to get more into the Bible so I like that I can take a look anywhere. There are notes and highlighting function as well. It also easily tells you the chapters and displays them well. I like having an app instead of just reading online. When I fist downloaded the app I saw many comments about the notes just showing a black screen and hiding what people were writing. To combat that, type in just a letter, click save and then go back into it and you can now see what you are writing or just write in on your notepad and copy/paste ### 5/5 — NEW TO ME *2023-08-29* This is the first time I have read the Catholic Bible. I’m enJOYing it immensely. Living in capital letters JOY! Jesus JOY is my strength, Nehemiah 8:10 **Developer response:** Hi 41153, we're thrilled to hear such detailed feedback! Thank you for your amazing 5-star rating and your kind words. ### 5/5 — Review *2023-06-15, version 4.0* Very easy to look up verses. ### 5/5 — God Is Good!!! *2023-04-30, version 4.0* I love this app!!!
