Needs work

The red highlight is ridiculous; it should be a bright yellow green color.

The search feature doesn’t work very well; it only looks for exact character matches.

The Commentaries and Study Bible Notes Are Excellent

I really love using this app as a resource while on the go. I usually read my physical bible and utilize the ESV.org website when studying, but this app is easy to use when Im not at home. Its worth the download and annual subscription.

Love this app - Duo format?

I’ve loved this app for many years, I recently switched to an iPhone Duo and would love to see this updated to better utilize this form factor. Thank you!

Incredible app, definitely my go too Bible

I’m in love with this app. I ordered the iPhone duo and noticed this app hasn’t been updated in over a year. I hope this gets updated soon because this app is essential to me

ESV

I mean it works well

Really like it but…

I really wish there was a way to make the text size a little bigger or bolder than the maximum size they allow. Would be willing to pay for this app if it would give me a few more display options.

Update audio feature

I love this app. I pay the subscription so I can choose from more voices for audio. I fall asleep listening to this every night.
I use the sleep timer. However when I do this, the app does not remember the verse it ended on. And I don’t either because I fell asleep.
I wish the audio would remember the last verse and pick up from there the next time I press play.

Reading the entire Bible

At age 79, I really enjoy reading through the Bible by following my ESV study Bible and hearing one of your readers read the section of the Bible I’m following

PLEASE ADD DARK MODE!

This is a pretty incredible app and very helpful with the digital study guide. The big problem is that it does not have any version of dark mode on it. Sometimes I don’t want a big bright white screen on my iPad so I often have it on dark mode. I really hope the app developer adds this feature too. I’m using the free trial but I will probably cancel until they offer dark mode.

Great tool, praise God

An amazing gift!

Have been using this app for over 15 years. Incredible resource for Bible readers. I’m still in shock that it is free (as it should be) in today’s modern world. So thankful to God for your ministry!

Pls read

So amazing if you want to learn more about how gods work impacted you and me. It is very easy to use, even though you have to pay for different settings

Rock

This is the best Bible app, simple easy to use, no adds or distractions, hands down the best I’ve used and I’ve have used a lot of them !!

The best listening!!

Perfect

Hands down the best Bible app on the market. Clean and easy to navigate. While other apps cause lots of distraction, the ESV app allows you to focus on what matters; Scripture.

The audio Bible feature is also top notch. The voices they have chosen offer a wide range of styles. In other audio apps I’ve tried, the voices sound robotic and obnoxious. Once I heard Robert Smith, I was sold. Thank you for making this available at such an affordable price!

Outstanding!

This amazing program gets better and better. It takes care of all your Bible needs and much more. It has been a real life changer for me. I have started out to read the Bible many times and quit because of unusual language, unusual type, and hard to follow. This ESV Bible program is a real winner. It's a blessing!

Good app but difficult to read

This app has lots of good resources but it’s really hard to use because of the type. The font is small and light-colored with no way to change it. The app designers must not have been thinking about people with middle-aged eyes and low vision. The content of this app warrants 5 stars, its usability for vision issues just one. Hence an average of 3 stars.

Great app!

Easy to use

Subscription model for scripture????

It’s really disappointing that in a BIBLE app that there are resources that you can on ly access if you PAY FOR THEM. The Word of God is free to all and discipleship shouldn’t be a subscription service. If you feel the need to recoup your costs for creating these resources, then make a separate app, but for goodness sakes, not in the Bible app… where only Premium Bible Readers can grow and learn more, I suppose.
