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.

👍

I appreciate this bible!

Value having audio available for this ESV Bible

Great version but hard to see

I really enjoy this version of the Bible, but the ple gray font used is more difficult/tedious to read than a black font.

Outstanding!

Great Bible App

Love the UI, narration & music.

Great app

Such an incredible app. I use it all the time and would recommend it to anyone looking to have constant access to God’s Holy Word.

Very good

God is good

Undistracted and deep

This bible app has a great smooth and focused reading experience with no distractions, and I love being able to highlight and note things as well as the references to other scriptures and the library resources. I am so thankful for this app.

No way to cancel subscription

Will not allow me to cancel
The subscription

Keeps losing its place…

Every time you listen the audio moves on but the text doesn’t always follow.
When you stop and restart the audio returns to where the text was originally and mot the updated location.
It’s annoying and prevents reliable use of the app.
As someone who uses this function for …several hours… every day… this problem is the central reason for using Logos and Audible instead.

Pretty good app, but...

I’ve had this app several years and like it for the most part. When I first got it, the phone could be turned horizontal and the print would be larger which is great for those with vision impairment, especially when airplayed on our large screen TV.
But after one of the updates it will only stay in vertical mode and it is much harder to see.

I do not like this format. I want simple,easy to find scripture. I want a Bible with a table of contents that shows all books of the Bible. On any given minute of time, I want to select any scripture OF MY CHOICE , read then choose any other at any time unrelated to what I read earlier.

Great app, small suggestion

Great app overall. The one thing missing that would be great is a Home Screen widget that allows you to choose a verse to display. I know they say you should never read only one verse without the context, but it would be nice to display a memory verse on my Home Screen so I see it all the time.

Outstanding resource. Copy-paste could use a tweak.

Outstanding resource. Use it almost every day. The fineness of its translation (I have worked extensively with Greek and can confirm, an MDiv and a ThM in exegetical theology). The search function is outstanding and simple. I use it often when knowing a verse but struggling to remember where it is found. Also just the look throughout is subtle and elegant to my eyes. It is crisp, easy and user-friendly.

I would personally reformat a couple very minor things for a regular user, like the copy-paste function which puts the verse reference first and even the non-inspired section title into the paste (why?) before pasting the words. It’d be much easier to simply paste the verse words, with reference on its tail, like this: “Jesus wept” (John 11:35). The current way makes it hard to copy-paste into texts for encouragement and social media. Every single time I copy-paste I have to edit it.

Aside from that, an outstanding resource. I use it almost every single day. “Forever, o Lord, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens.” Psalm 119:89.
