What Happened?!
So as another reviewer said the app has changed so much to my dismay and I’ve lost so much of the works I’ve purchased due to the update, that a bitter taste has been left in my mouth. Please bring back the robustness and richness the app once had no matter the cost your loyal subscribers will buy.
Update
I’ve had this app for several years and ever since the last update I’ve wondered why the bookstore was removed. Now the app is not worth near as much, because you can’t expand your library. Love the website, but the app is now obsolete, and has been for three years since the update.
thankful for an update
FInally updated! Thankful for good content
Wisdom & path to intimacy with God at my fingertips
The texts available as a free app are rich in the experiences and godly encouragement of saints of old. I am challenged daily to see the hand and face of God more clearly - and more humbly! Thanks CCEL for all this rich resource.

Brilliant
:)
I'm so happy I downloaded this app. It's nice to know I'll have the bible with me wherever I go and i can read it whenever I have spare time. We shld always devote some time to God everyday and this app makes it all the more convenient to do so.
Simple reference daily
It is a free downloads for daily inspirational messages. Good for daily lessons and encouragement if you are a Christian.
Works now!
This great app is now working again with the latest update. Thanks!!
Broken
Used to be great. Now won't open.
None
I use this app daily. Love spurgeon and imitation of Christ. Today my icon was there but nothing came up. Tried three times to download it but same thing happened. Give it four but would give five if it was not lost in never never land.
Ugh!
The platform is great and devotionals are ok but the grammar and punctuation is horrid!!!
Disappointed Expectations
This app is okay, but it is not my favorite bible app. There are several other bible apps that are free with much better translations. What drew me to this app was how great of a selection the CCEL library has online, but the books available in the library are lacking. The only books available are light and fluffy devotional books. The works that make the CCEL library so great are lacking. I removed it from my iPod, because I have other apps that work better. Page turning (rather than scrolling), original languages, and better translations and books are all available on other bible apps.
When they provide more CCEL books for this app it would again be worth looking at.

Review of CCEL Bible (Free)
As a student of theology I have been searching for a decent Bible app
for the iphone. There are of course several to choose from, but what I
like the most about CCEL Bible (Free) is that it has a clean
interface, is easy to navigate, and uses a serif font as the default
font. Once you start the app you are presented with a list of books (a
library), and at the bottom there is a menu bar with the standard
options. When choosing a book you are presented with the title page of
the selected book, and after a second or so the option bar and title
bar “fade away” so you only have to page in view. The pages are
cleanly formatted and are very easy and pleasant to read. As an iphone
app it is very useful, and I keep it on my home screen for fast and
easy access.
As a major pluss, the upcoming feature to download books from CCEL is
perhaps what makes it the most promising of all the bible apps I have
seen so far, and it will without a doubt be my bible app of choice.

True
The Holy Bible is the Wors of God and God's Son is Jesus Christ!

"Today" function doesn't work
Morning and Evening is a marvelous tool, but the "Today" button doesn't work.
This one is a good one
God you are so awesome! We need to all step up and be on fire for God and spread the word. He love us very much!
Crashes and Search Function Useless
Only App I have used that crashes and search function almost universally returns every book in the bible. :-(
Fantastic
I use their site all the time. They have some of the best classics out there from Andrew Murray to R.A. Torrey. Will be using this app all the time. Can't wait to be able to add more books. Clean, easy and functional. Can change the fonts with ease. Fantastic!
Love this app!
This has taken the place of my pocket Bible AND it is the first Bible I reach for when I was to relax and read.
Fantastic!
To have both Spurgeon and St Thomas a Kempis as part of this Bible app make it very worth the price... FREE! Amazing. When you move b/t books in the library it automatically returns to the page you were last on which makes daily devotions convenient
