I have a Cepher Bible at home & I can guarantee you that the wording hits different. I purchased this because I sometimes study at work but I regret it ### 4/5 — Shouldn’t have to pay for the word of YAH *2025-07-16* I was just bothered at how some of the books are unavailable unless you pay for upgrade version which is not okay. This nation is so full of greed it’s not even funny. I’m giving four stars because it has encouraged me to delete the you version bible app because I feel more personal reading Hebrew names of YAH and Yahusha the savior, I just feel like this is the most accurate this is the most truth of the ancient Hebrew history starting from the creation/foundation of the world and not all of thess thousands of translations that has been put out to confuse and divide ### 4/5 — good app *2025-04-27* the app is a great for when I am going to work. However, recent changes removed the pray. I checked but the option to restore is not in the settings. **Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out! To display the daily prayers again, go to the settings page, scroll to the bottom, and find the section named "Daily Content". There should be 3 options: "Show Daily Scripture", "Show Daily Prayer", or "Show Both". Select the content you want to have displayed, and navigate back to the home page. If that does not work, please let us know so we can address it. ### 4/5 — CEPHER app purchase *2024-11-11, version 1.0.1* I purchased this thru google when I had my android. Switched over to apple and now I have to buy it. Just beware of that. ### 3/5 — Good but…. *2024-06-04* I really like the app but the only problem is having to pay for all the books. The Word Of God shouldn’t be hidden behind a paywall ### 4/5 — Typo? *2024-04-23, version 1.0.1* Great but in 1 kings 17:4-6 it says Arabians fed Elijah when it was the ravens ? ### 4/5 — Needs audio version *2023-01-16, version 1.0.1* Need audio version on both **Developer response:** Thanks for reaching out. It is Dr. Pidgeon’s sincere desire to record an audio version of the את Cepher scriptures, but it is such a tremendous undertaking that the project has never gotten off the ground. Some customers have requested that we enable the electronic voice option on the Cepher mobile app, but we have purposefully elected not to use that feature as the artificial intelligence would not be able to pronounce all of the transliterated name and places in the Cepher. We believe this would cause more confusion than clarity. ### 4/5 — Could be better *2022-03-03* This has the potential to be so much better. I appreciated having all the books of the Bible. I appreciated the father's true Hebrew nam YAHUAH. I appreciated the son's name YAHUSHUA but I did not appreciate many of the scriptures are word for word like the KJV. I was hoping for better language than old English. **Developer response:** D. Muller, thanks for your comments. We are working making the app experience much better than it is. A very small company, but we are working it. Shalom. ### 3/5 — Good, but it could be so much better *2021-08-30* My main complaint is that they don’t use proper pronouns for my Savior or my Father. They are all lowercase! I was not expecting that at all seeing that they go so far to restore Their names. It makes it difficult to understand who’s being referenced, and honestly it feels disrespectful in My opinion. I would definitely recommend this app. As soon as they add audio to the full version I’ll be buying it, even though it still has the lowercase pronouns, and the search button that doesn’t work, and you can only highlight 6 verses, but I’m praying for an update that fixes this. **Developer response:** We will look at the highlighting and copying feature to see if we can make improvements on your app experience. ### 4/5 — I enjoy it but *2021-06-29* Since the “update” some verses have been changed. Like Matthew 7:23 which originally said depart from me ye who transgress the Torah, now says “worker of iniquity.” Honestly I believe that the first version got it right, and I don’t know why they had to change it. Also in Galatians 3:19 it adds “Grace was added”. Paul was not talking about grace in that verse, he was talking about the Law/Torah. It’s a great Bible for additional books and original names but, I preferred the original version of this Bible. **Developer response:** We took a look at Matthew 7:23 again. "worker of iniquity" is a correct reading based off the Greek language in that verse. In the Gospel of Luke passage that correlates with this passage, the phrase "transgressors of the Torah" is used because the Greek language supports it. We will take a look at the Galatians passage again. Thank you for your feedback. Shalom. We have revisited the Galatians 3:19 passage, and it will be updated in the next release. The word "Grace" will be replaced with the word "It". ### 3/5 — Alef Tav disappear in the new version *2021-05-18* What happened that almost all alef tav disappeared? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Please change it back *2026-06-26, version 22.0.51* Honestly, I don’t know what this is. It’s not right that people take joy in switching up the word of the Most High. I definitely don’t recommend this version. Please give the original version. ### 1/5 — Does not include all books *2026-05-16* Cursed are you till you give the entire books to the readers. Repent!!! Withholding all the apocrypha’s and making someone pay for the books that you didn’t even come up with yourself! Copy right issues! Law suit! All kinds of problems here! Fix this issue or see how Yah will deal with this problem!! Very sinful behaviour! Profiting of Yah’s word?! That’s really close to blaspheming the Ruach Hakudash…if you don’t heed the message! ### 1/5 — Unabridged Cepher Bible *2025-10-13, version 22.0.48* The Word of YAHUAH Elohym Should Told & Not Sold as Yeshua Hamashiach Spoke on This Subject. Desire to Learn More About The Apocrypha in Hebrew to English Translation. ### 1/5 — The App and The Book *2025-09-29, version 22.0.48* I purchased the book for $137 but if you pay for the book you should have access to the app. Too expensive for an app. ### 1/5 — Seriously *2025-09-08* The fact of looking at the Hebrew that is cited, and then seeing non Dr. P mistranslate either not knowing the meaning and proper translation or is being deliberately dishonest. For the Hebrew text uses neither yahusha or yahushua, these are non existent words and are not either Hebrew or Aramaic nor ancient Phoenician script. Please don’t try to get one over on one who has studied Hebrew,and has also studied at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem ### 1/5 — Bible *2025-05-17, version 22.0.42* Needs audio version ### 1/5 — Unhappy *2024-03-26, version 1.0.1* I paid for the full version on my iPad bought a new iPad and I was not able to purchase it again. ### 1/5 — App won’t load *2023-11-11, version 1.0.1* The abridged app freezes on the initial loading screen. I have deleted and redownloaded the app, reset my phone, and it still freezes. ### 1/5 — NOT FREE!!! *2023-07-24, version 1.0.1* In the app’s reviews it stated that it was free LIES!!! I wanted to review before I paid a 100$ but it charged 23$ and it doesn’t even have all the books. I wouldn’t have gotten this app if I knew it was going to charge me!!!! BE AWARE !!!!!!! ### 1/5 — I feel like they’ve transgressed! *2020-07-08, version 1.0* I was thrilled when I first downloaded this. Very excited! Then someone suggested I take a look at Philippians 2:11 and see if my excitement remained. I did. Philippiym (Philippians) 2:11 confused me. It explicitly states TMH “IS” the HA’MASHIACH. I understand that this is a point of debate for many but they seem to be trying to bring this debate to an end by deciding for us all what we believe this verse is trying to tell us. Developers, please try to remember: Deuteronomy 4:2 and Revelations 22:18-19 And understand that this applies to the entire of the books, cover to cover. Please do better. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Seeking Yahuah *2026-07-15* This is the most important app in my phone. The refreshing daily word. Then going in and researching within the books. I do hope to see the hidden books revealed for free one day. The flock needs the truth. Thank you Cepher publishing for all your good works and passion for Yahuah! Best app ever. ### 5/5 — I Understand Why *2025-11-11, version 22.0.49* I have paid Cepher App ### 5/5 — Halleluyah *2024-12-01* Thank you for making this app and book! I started off with this while I was waiting for the physical book to arrive. I read from the app when I’m on the go and read the book while I’m at home. The devil will try to keep those who are trying to find the truth from this scripture. I’m very grateful that Yahuah has blessed me to know His Name and I get to see it in print. Shalom ### 5/5 — Can’t access my purchased full version from app *2024-09-13* Hi. I can only access my full version app from the App Store. I need to be able to click on my app and open my Bible which I already purchased. ### 5/5 — Halleluyah *2024-04-05* Thank you for making this app and book! I started off with this while I was waiting for the physical book to arrive. I read from the app when I’m on the go and read the book while I’m at home. The devil will try to keep those who are trying to find the truth from this scripture. I’m very grateful that Yahuah has blessed me to know his name and I get to see it in print. Shalom ### 5/5 — Enjoying *2023-06-04* I’m really enjoy you all putting back The WORD to the original way it should have been translated but can you also do an audio version. Truly love listening to The WORD as I read along. Thanks 🙏🏾 ### 5/5 — HalleluYAH *2022-10-05* If ye love me, KEEP my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; Even the Set-Apart Spirit (Holy Spirit); whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him: but ye know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you. John 14:15-17 If we love the Messiah then we will keep His commandments. But what is His commands exactly? Did He come a preach a NEW doctrine even though The Father said He gave us good doctrine? Did He preach against what the Fathers instructions/Commandments or against The Fathers Law? The Father and the Messiah are One and are on one accord, in agreement. The Messiah came to reconcile us back to the Father, keeping the law Perfectly showing us by example how to walk. HalleluYah. Yahusha answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. John 7:16 Think not that I am come to destroy the Torah, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For amein I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one yod or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Torah, till all be fulfilled. Matthew 5:17-18 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my Torah. Proverbs 4:2 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we guard his commandments. He that says, I know him, and guards not his commandments, is a liar, and the Truth is not in him. But whoso guards his word, in him truly is the love of Elohiym perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that says he abides in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 1 John 2:3-6 We dont love or even know the Messiah unless we keep His commandments, His commandments are the same as the Fathers Commandments. Religion has lied to us and its up to us to study and show ourselves approved seeking the Father and His truth ourselves. Shalom 💜 ### 5/5 — CEPHER is great! *2022-07-28* This version of the CEPHER is great! However, wish there was a night mode for reading in the dark because the white background is really bright and hard to read (sensitive eyes) but I still give a 5 start. accurate and easy to manage finding passages! Yah bless you! **Developer response:** kay-bear. There is a night mode feature on the app. Tap on the "Home" button at the bottom of the app. Then tap on "change/manage settings". Once you have done that, under the "display" heading, tap on "night mode" and that will give you a dark background. ### 5/5 — Cepher *2022-01-28* If I buy the full version that’s $22, does the $22 version contain everything in the complete package deal on your cepher Bible website?, because I see the deals cost up to $500 **Developer response:** We are working on updating the lexicon in the app to eventually comport with the lexicon in the printed form. We will keep you informed of any updates and new releases via our newsletter. ### 5/5 — HalleluYAH! *2022-01-20* I am a fairly new believer and I am pleased to find a translation of the scriptures that adheres to the Sacred Name of the Most High. The rich wisdom in this app is incredibly beneficial to someone who wants to grow closer to the Creator. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
