Some of them seem malicious to me. I even got one pop-up that was one of those shady “your device has been infected” schemes. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2025-08-11* It’s too bad as soon as I open it. It immediately closes ### 1/5 — Format *2025-03-11* The Bible app won’t rotate so I can’t use it on my tablet ### 1/5 — Not working *2022-04-23* Unfortunately I can’t access any books other than Genesis? ### 2/5 — Bookmark *2026-02-23* It doesn’t save your place when you read the 1st 5 verses of John. Close the app & come back 2 days later, the app has put you back at verse 1. ### 3/5 — Jezebel *2025-12-04* This app is decent, though it needs a few improvements. My first issue with this app is the constant adds after every page. These adds are the Jezebel referred to in Revelations. Being interrupted from reading the word of God by adds for gambling seems like something Satan would do to tempt you and distract you. If you want to make some revenue from your app just make it a paid app. My other issue is that there are words jumbled together as if no one bothered to proofread prior to launching. If you are going to create an app with the word of God at least make sure it is free from errors. Overall it’s a decent app. ### 3/5 — Phil Adams *2022-04-14* Great app but I’d like to see a search bar at the top to plug in what scripture I need to read! **Developer response:** Hi Phillip, thank you for your kind words! Our mission is to provide the best experience for our users, and we’re always working to improve our app. We truly appreciate your feedback and will keep it in mind as we make future enhancements. ### 3/5 — Where is the quiz? *2021-12-21* I would of given this is a higher rating but the quiz part is missing. I was excited to do some bible quizes lol just wondering if it is something that is available. If yes where do i access it. ### 4/5 — Excellent but typo *2025-04-08* Please spell Revelation correctly. This will lend your app more credibility ( no Revealation) **Developer response:** Dear User, Sorry for the inconvenience you had to face. We have updated the Bible app. Please update it on your end, and this should prevent any further issues. ### 5/5 — Perfect for dyslexia *2025-10-20* This app is perfect for dyslexia. It has big letters and you can write notes which is super handy and it has great song videos plus it’s totally free which is awesome. I have dyslexia so this was a big hit the ball right out of the park! and to review only one problem if you I forgot what you have to do, but once you make it where a blue part comes up at the top end at the bottom and it feels like settings and three lines and stuff at the below part it says headphones and that’s what you press to make it where you can listen **Developer response:** Hi HADDIE’5693, That is so sweet of you! We truly appreciate your 5-star rating and kind words. Thank you so much for your support! Wishing you all the best in your continued learning and growth. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Bible app *2025-10-18* I have used many Bible apps, but this one is the very best. Easy to navigate, Scripture is easy to read and nicely marked. **Developer response:** Hi CarolnNY! We truly appreciate your 5-star rating and kind words. Thank you so much for your support! ### 5/5 — Rev *2025-05-14* Like this version the Bible **Developer response:** Hi Iki Manu! We truly appreciate your 5-star rating and kind words. Thank you so much for your support! ### 5/5 — Axiom not faith *2022-08-10* I stand upon the the foundation of the cross to grow in supernatural faith in God’s to the glory of Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. No religiosity and domesticated faith can please and serve the lord of hosts. Isa29:13-14. We must fright from the finishing work of Christ Jesus to resist and destroy all ungodly forces of against humanity and Christ. John 9:30. **Developer response:** Hi Wufic, Thank you for sharing such an inspiring message and for your rating. It reminds us to stand strong in our faith, relying on the Holy Spirit to overcome challenges and bring glory to Christ. May we all move beyond superficial belief and resist all that opposes God’s truth. ### 5/5 — Amazing! But one problem.. *2022-01-14* A pretty good app, I just don’t know how to get it to read to me. I have been trying to figure out for a while and it just won’t. **Developer response:** Dear User! Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you like the app. The app does have an audio option that you can easily enable to listen to the words of the Lord. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
