No camera image displays. I’ve refreshed my phone, made space on my phone( deleted data for more space) and still the camera doesn’t work. Even tried with my iPad and nothing 😑😑 ### 3/5 — Error al ingresar *2026-08-21, version 4.1.8* Buenas tardes! Me encanta esta app, pero hace unas semanas no he podido ingresar al contenido porque se le queda en blanco la pantalla, muchas gracias de antemano! ### 3/5 — Stuck on 145 *2026-08-17, version 4.1.8* This app has been great, but I decided to do the chronological Bible in a year and its stuck on day 145. Looks completed but opens everyday on 145 and I have to manually find the correct date, so when I get to final reading, I will be complete except day 145. Other readings have completed just fine and a draw back is can’t use this app as a digital Bible, when you leave without your physical Bible. ### 3/5 — Avaliação e crítica *2026-07-15* App ótimo para auxiliar nos estudos, porém ainda continua fechando inesperadamente! **Developer response:** Que bom que o app está ajudando nos seus estudos! Sobre o fechamento inesperado: atualize o app, reinicie o aparelho, desative qualquer VPN e, se persistir, reinstale. Se continuar, escreva para csresponse@tyndale.com que ajudamos direto! ### 4/5 — So nice 😊 *2026-06-25, version 4.1.6* I think this is such an amazing concept and I feel it can help me grasp the concept of what the bible is talking about and I love the bible itself so 🫶 ### 2/5 — Fraco *2026-06-17* Tem só as notas disponíveis para a pesquisa, não tem a Bíblia disponível e nem o espaço para notas pessoais **Developer response:** Olá! Para esclarecer, o Filament é um companheiro da sua Bíblia impressa Edição Filament, por isso oferece estudos, vídeos e mapas, mas não o texto bíblico completo nem um espaço para notas pessoais. Ele foi feito para enriquecer a sua leitura das Escrituras impressas.

It has all of the components that make listening to and studying God’s word a pleasure. My only concern is that the app blanks out regularly; and this is quite frustrating. I try updating the app, and this works 75% of the time. So other than that, I really like this app!! ### 4/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-05-24, version 4.1.5* Update: the app works if I turn off my VPN. The content is great! I do prefer to use my VPN; I don’t understand why it would be a problem. Nevertheless, this is wonderful! Original impression: I love this idea, but it hasn’t worked for me. I downloaded it, scanned my Bible, registered, and then all it did was open to a black or white screen. Deleted, redownloaded, signed in, same result after that. I’ve not seen anything past the registration screen and tutorial, and then the log in screen. ### 2/5 — Error reading *2026-05-13, version 4.1.5* I am unable to get into the app, it told me there was a glitch error in my downloading. how can that be fixed? ### 4/5 — Bom projeto, mas precisa de melhorias *2026-05-09* Por favor, mantenham o plano de leitura off-line cacheado no próprio celular. Não tem pq ficar fazendo requisição pra pegar o plano de leitura online. Mantenham-no cacheado e quando houver conexão com internet, sincronize-o. Se possível, deem também opção de baixar todas as nots de estudo off-line. ### 2/5 — Good but scans wrong page *2026-04-25, version 4.1.5* It is a good app but constantly scans the wrong page. I have the correct bible selected and it still gives me the wrong page numbers when I scan it. ### 2/5 — Not Functional *2026-04-02, version 4.1.5* I love the premise of the app, but if you can get it to work it dues no good. I have installed, deleted, ands reinstalled numerous times and keep getting the error “ Oops, download error. There was a glitch getting your Filament goodness. Please try again.” Needless, to say it never works. Please fix your app - I am running it on an iPhone 16. ### 4/5 — Trouble Navigating in App *2026-03-27, version 4.1.4* This may be my own ignorance, but once I select a particular passage (e.g., Psalm 139) and select one of the three options (e.g., study), I cannot find a “back tab” to let me then choose reflect and/or see. Instead, I need to start over and reselect Psalm 139 again. Your help is appreciated. ### 1/5 — App not working *2026-03-15, version 4.1.4* There are bugs that need fixing. App will not load. Update 03/16/2026, I deleted the app. Still will not load! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not on my iPhone12 *2026-08-19, version 4.1.8* I’ve seen it on other people’s phones but it won’t work on my iPhone12 😧 ### 1/5 — Doesn't work with new phone. *2026-08-16, version 4.1.8* I upgraded my phone to the iPhone 17 Pro Max and the app no longer works. I have deleted, downloaded and initially it wouldn't load my account. I then created a new account and get nothing but a black screen. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-06-29, version 4.1.7* Update: upon reading some reviews, I see that the app doesn’t work with a VPN on. This needs to be fixed. May still delete due to this. The app was slow, but worked, during setup. Immediately after, all I get is a white screen. I’m giving it a bit but it’s already on the way to the trash can. ### 1/5 — $55 is crazy *2026-06-03, version 4.1.5* This app charged me $55 to download when It didn’t specify the cost or anything ### 1/5 — App not Working *2026-05-31, version 4.1.5* App appears to go to a blank black page with no option to backtrap out of it or to move forward!!! ### 1/5 — This app *2026-05-28, version 4.1.5* I don’t like this app it’s useless ### 1/5 — Can’t change books *2026-05-25, version 4.1.5* I bought the NT study guides. I have tried multiple times, I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app, I’ve watched the tutorials. I can read the Book of Matthew but can get any other books to show up. I was all set to study Acts but no way to access the app. Disappointing. Buyer beware ### 1/5 — Blank page—update app please! *2026-05-19, version 4.1.5* I was able to get this to work when I set it up. I still get the yearly reading plan prompts, but have a white screen when I try to open the app now. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-05-05, version 4.1.5* App doesn’t work. Crashes to a blank white screen all the time. Unusable. ### 1/5 — Useless app *2026-03-27, version 4.1.4* Doesn’t work! Constantly says Download Error, please retry. Useless! Uninstalled and reinstalled and still get the same message. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So helpful *2026-08-17, version 4.1.8* I’ve had the NLT Bible for like a year and had the filament app but kinda forgot I had the app. Finally started using it and oh my goodness I was missing out, it’s so helpful for deep study as a newer believer. ### 5/5 — Love this *2026-08-16, version 4.1.8* Packed with insight info and commentary. I love the NLT translation and the whole set up of this app and how deep I can go with it. I would love going even further into Hebrew and hermeneutics - other than that is is wonderful. ### 5/5 — An awesome way to listen/read to the word of god *2026-08-12, version 4.1.7* I love this app, the variety of bible reading plans are great. ### 5/5 — Wow! *2026-07-09, version 4.1.7* What a great addition to my Bible! So easy to use and a powerful tool! This app is well organized, and laid out. It is simple and easy to navigate. I also love that they partnered with the BibleProject for some of their videos and illustrations. Great job to the developers. Thank you for making my day! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-07-07, version 4.1.7* This is a great app to use when I want to use my two Bibles that are Filament enabled. It’s really cool. ### 5/5 — I enjoy it *2026-04-11, version 4.1.5* Im 62 years old. I so enjoy waking up and seeing what this app has to offer. It takes time to learn it. But it’s easy. Im sure they will continue to make it better and better. Not sure how. It a great addition to my bible. Thank you I would like to see commentary / appreciation on verses. That would be the best ### 5/5 — Filament Bible App *2026-03-09, version 4.1.4* I love it.
