### 5/5 — A real companion

*2022-07-12*

This app is superlative: an easy-to-use, reliable, comprehensive access route into the Greek text of the Bible. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Nice Lines

*2022-01-23*

Setting, Clear Lines , Greek Words, Meaning,Grammar
Enjoy using in study Text, Language, Theme.

### 1/5 — Broken app

*2022-01-22*

Do not buy. Web site support is dead page and can’t download standard bibles.

### 1/5 — Not worth the money!

*2020-04-12*

I just downloaded this app and it didn’t take 5 minutes to exhaust the features.  There is next to no value offered. There is a very low level of detail offered when you awkwardly click a Strongs #.  Or if you click to define a word, it just takes you to BibleHub’s webpage...so why don’t we just use BibleHub’s Interlinear page instead as its free and offers much more detail.  I wish I could get a refund.

### 2/5 — Textus Receptus version missing breathing marks

*2019-08-26*

I bought this version today and found breathing marks missing. This makes it very difficult to read the text. However other Greek texts have them.

### 5/5 — Awesome experiences

*2019-08-15*

I have spent years studying the scriptures, various translation, Greek & Hebrew text.

This simple to use program allows me to quickly find the text, discover the layout and draw necessary conclusions needed when questions pop up in my head.  Like which Greek word was used, the tense and purpose in context.

I love it!

### 2/5 — Wish there was more.

*2019-01-27*

For a 4.99 app, this falls short. It’s okay as simply a Greek bible but it lacks features that you can get at lower cost with other apps. Namely, it would be nice to tap a Greek word and get expanded information.

### 5/5 — Love this App!

*2017-12-19*

Thank you for this app. It has helped me stay current with my Bible Greek reading. I have nothing but good results and I love this App!

### 1/5 — Not as advertised

*2016-12-20*

It's not interlinear. It's left column- right column. Cannot make it display as shown in App Store. Wasted 5 bucks.

### 4/5 — Very useful

*2015-12-11*

A nice layout without interfering images just text laid plain so you can see greek info and translation clearly at same time with very little effort. This way you can remain focused.
    This app is not for the well informed Greek student, but for the average person who wishes to learn more from the word of GOD without having to take a full course in Koine Greek.

*** NOTE ***
This version drops support for iOS 5. Do not install if your device is not at iOS 6 or higher. To make a backup of the older version for future use, synchronize your device with your computer, and then copy the app on the computer to a safe place.

## Fixes
- Performance improvements
- Accessibility improvements
- #79: Searches with more than one space between words (or searches consisting only of spaces) could crash the app.
- #77: Highlights could collide with annotations when shown inline.
- #75: Search panes took a while to load.
- #74: Rotation during fade of splash screen could result in odd fades.
- #69: Some Strong's definitions had missing information at the end.
- #68: When copying a Strong's Definition, the notification that appeared has been removed. This becomes consistent with copying a Bible Verse.
- Morphological Strong's #s are now hidden, since the Strong's Dictionary in the app doesn't support these. The existing Morphology tags fill their place.
- #69: Some Strong's Definitions had missing information.
- #64: KJV text had a misspelling in Acts 7:32
- #63: Some Search Results were cut off
- #62: There was no new line between lemma and definition when copying Strong's

### 1.1 — 2013-01-23

The new version of Greek Interlinear Bible is full of new features and plenty of bug fixes. If you have any difficulties with crashes, please be sure to let us know so that we can fix any outstanding issues.

New Features:
 #38: Westcott-Hort edition now comes with diacritics! Still working on finding sources for the other editions. Also searching is now diacritic insensitive, so that you don't have to know the exact diacritics on a Greek word in order to find it. Because of this, searching is a little slower by a couple seconds.
 #NN: Westcott-Hort edition also comes with inline English translations. There is an option in Setings to disable this if you don't want it. For the other editions, this setting has no effect. Thanks to Biblos.com for providing us with a text with diacritics and inlined translations.
 #23: Color Scheme support. Four great themes, with two themes made just for night reading. If you have ideas for other themes, please let us know!
 #10: History is now maintained for Bible and Strong's searches. Your previous history will be migrated to the new history automatically.
 #NN: All views now respect the transliteration option. If it is on, the Bible and Strong's search will transliterate their results. 
 #61: You can now use the standard "Select All" and "Copy" commands, even from a Bluetooth keyboard.


Modified Features:
 #52: Strong's G# within definitions now display the definition for a G# when tapped.
 #51: Strong's Definitions can now be copied to the pasteboard.
 #39: Allow hiding of Strong's G#s within the Bible text. As a consequence, there's now no real benefit to having parsed and unparsed versions of the same text. Therefore, the unparsed editions have been removed, save for Tischendorf which didn't have a parsed equivalent in 1.0. 
 #NN: Bible Search layout has been improved. Verses are side-by-side and listed in full. Single-word search term is highligted within the results.
 #NN: Strong's layout has been modified. For the iPad, the pronunciation is also displayed.
 #NN: Updated the About text to include the new features.


Removed Features:
 #NN: You could previously use "%" as a wildcard when searching the Bible or Strongs. This feature no longer exists. You can instead search for both words, which while not the same semantics is generally close enough.
 

Bugs Squashed:
 #46: Definitions were not rendering correctly on iPads running iOS 6.
 #54: If the import.dat file is missing, the import operation would claim that the import completed successfully.
 #45: The Strong's G# were not rendering the correct Greek word within the text.
 #NA: Related to #45, some definitions were cut short. 
 #50: If the keyboard was dismissed without executing a search, the results would remain grayed-out.
 #49: The shadows indicating that the content is scrollable were not properly recalculated when switching from certain views to other views.
 #37: Not ever able to replicate, but did add some code to check for verse #s that are out of range.
 #36: A crash could occur when entering the background. Hopefully fixed. Like #37, the issue would not replicate. 
 #43: Copying would copy the incorrect verses, and if the last verse of a chapter was copied, a crash would result.
 #44: Galatians is now spelled correctly.
 #48: It was possible to see the incorrect text rendered in the Settings view if the table was scrolled very quickly.
 #47: If you had "Speak Selection" enabled on your device, the popup menu would only appear once. Fixed.

Known Issues:
 #53: The second Strong's G# for a compound verb returns no results. This is a limitation of the source text we're using.
