Marvelous

This app is one of a kind. My learning curve with it is still coming from around the bend. I love it. I give it a FIVE, and don’t understand how anyone could find fault with this app. Vincent Chu you are a genius and so is your app. I keep finding new possibilities every time I use it.
Many, many thanks.

Glory to God for this

This is an incredible tool in bible study, I’ve had it for many years, keep forgetting to use it but when I do, it offers extensive commentary, just seems like there was a lot of hard work put into making this, God be praised for someone putting this out and at an incredible price!

Absolutely Amazing app! All the knowledge of THE TRUTH of SCRIPTURE at the touch of a finger!

I’ve been using this app for about a year and a half now, and I spend most of my free time in it;
Purchasing the extras, like extra references, commentaries, in regards to eternal salvation, is so worth it and so amazing of a program!
Knowledge of the TRUTH IN SCRIPTURE HAS EXPONENTIALLY GROWN IN LEAPS AND BOUNDS FOR DAYS!
Can’t praise this app enough!
Thank you for being an amazing tool at opening of SCRIPTURE!
SEEK TRUTH PEEPS!
Were created in HIS IMAGE for a reason!
It’s not about this worldly life, but it’s about our eternal life!
“The last will be first and the first will be last”

CHRIST bless your seeking!

My favorite Bible app

This is my favorite Bible app hands down: it has a concordance, commentaries and several Bible tools. It is the most comprehensive app that’s easy to navigate.

Going deeper

I love the ease of using this Bible app. I tend to go to the concordance to look up more meanings to different words of scripture. I highly recommend it to anyone from novice to scholar.

Difficult to use

This Bible app is super hard to learn. Just to change a chapter in the same book is difficult. Nothing is intuitive in this app and navigating can be a pain.

Hi, NET bible with Notes will appear when you tap the the "BOOK" icon with "C" on its top-right corner (each verse, 2nd button from right), from there you can select "NET_NOTES" commentary. To better serve you, please email "iphone.apps.vincechiu@gmail.com"

Amazing Features, Low Price

This is the first app that I’ve intentionally risked purchasing—by which I mean buying without it being clearly specified that there would be no ads. (I hope it’s not just a temporary phase!) Out of 2,300 apps, I have only one or two that I tolerate ads in—and only because they’re pretty much necessities. You should mention that in the App Store description, so you don’t potentially lose other customers. I debated buying this because I’ve learned that even paid apps might have ads, if they don’t specify otherwise. It’s not about the money (to a point)—I’ll happily pay a few bucks to have ads removed, when there is an option. When there isn’t, I simply don’t bother and search for other apps. I can’t stand ads and will avoid almost every app out there (even free ones) if there isn’t an option to have them removed. Hopefully this app won’t change. As to the app itself, it has an amazing amount of features and options (for a nice price), and I hope to make it one of my most-used Bible apps. Thanks!

UPDATE: Thanks for the response to my review. I hope I didn’t sound as though I was complaining about ads. I never considered the extra versions or tools with their prices as ads, but rather simply a handy list of what additional features are available. In fact, I was expressing appreciation that there weren’t any ads (and hoping that it would remain true, which it has and, as you’ve assured me, will continue to). Thanks also for the video links!

Hi, this app has no ads even for the Free version. Those extra bible study materials that need to be in-app pucrases are royalty-based under the permission and agreement with the publisher. It'll be some learning curve to make the most of this app. Some useful tips and posts: https://www.facebook.com/HandyBible This page should give you a quick overview and some gestures to enable some features: http://www.vincentchiu.com/iphone_apps/frame_right-tips_iphone_apps-Handy_Bible_Pro.html And some video demos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP5GrRjg4Mqgcfwll209kyYbd9ZHm-vsK

Apple watch error

This app is great in all the ways and I am greatly thankful upon it but I have an issue on my apple watch, when I go to the "Bible" section loading screen it does not seem to load the scriptures and it just shows the spring loading icon upon my apple watch. Any suggestions?

Hi, since the scripture on Apple Watch comes from iPhone, so make sure the Watch and iPhone are close together to have a good connection. Also some users reported that remove and install Handy Bible on Apple Watch might help. Thanks!

A Labor of Love

All in One Bible App. Accurate translations. User friendly. Completely Customizable for assistive reading. Reasonable IAP include maps, and artwork. Concordance, commentary and dictionary also provided. Impressive compilation by this dedicated developer and our family is happy to support his work.

Great Bible study tool

As a whole, this is my favorite Bible study go-to. It’s a no nonsense straight to the information help I’m looking for without fluff of any kind. It does take some learning to understand the different icons and how to move around seamlessly but well worth the effort.

It looks good, great tools

I downloaded and bought the NASB (bundle of New American standard study materials). This and maps, etc didnt load. The screen would just spin and the FAQ in the help section did not assist. UPDATE: after deleting and re-downloading the app, I restored my purchase and they finally loaded. I took away a star for the difficulty getting paid content and for having not enough info in the help file. I hope this app will becomes my primary bible and study tool.

Super Handy

I think this Bible is super awesome and helpful at reading and studying the Word, so many tools at your disposal. It is not the easiest at first to navigate, but once you figure it out it’s the main bible app I use. If I had to put down a negative I would say I wish it had more bible translations available from start, but that’s being really picking with it.
