Clunky nav, intrusive ads
Navigation is clunky at best, and the ads are constantly in your face trying to get you to give up your email for all kinds of irrelevent stuff - music, games, etc - probably to pummel your inbox with spam.
Great commentary, terrible app
Seems like this person is just trying to monetize any spiritual text he can get his hands on. What most other apps offer for free he puts behind paywalls or a crazy amount of ads. This app is designed to make you watch as many ads as possible.
Ads
To many ads. Can’t do anything without it constantly putting one up. Will find another app….
Flawed
Extremely annoying, distracting, interrupting ads. Otherwise, useful if you can put up with the commercials.
Noisy ads
I understand ads are necessary to fund this app, but to have them break out In disturbingly loud audio is a real problem. Especially when you are trying to engage in quiet Bible study, or even during a service or gathering. It tends to harden me against ever patronizing the sponsor.
Just OK
Difficult to navigate; full of ads that force you to wait until the content plays; will not scroll to next verse, you have to go back to the listing of books. Very cumbersome and irritating to use.
Remove the intrusive time wasting ads!
Decent app in concept, but the ads drive me crazy when I’m just trying to look up something simple.
Zeus Douglas Paul Donovan
Likes the ideas for Zeus wife’s to make up with Jesus and Muhammad and Buddha and Hindus gods and Allah's but incapable of disgusting Zion from the brain when reincarnation was represented as heaven.
This presentation for god during the beginning of time was remarkable for reparations for Zeus .
Will read again!

Not sure if it is intentional but the commentary is missing chapters. Of course it is the ch I need. John :6.
Calvin
Great way to gain insight into scripture!
Good commentary, dislike the app
I have a very high regard for John Calvin and his commentaries, but I don’t like the app. In my first use I was hit with a Spanish language ad (why an English language app would have a Spanish ad is puzzling), and I had no clue how to get out of it when it was done. When I finally got to the commentary it had an easy to use way to go to the book, chapter, and verse, but to go to the commentary on the next verse you have to go through the search process again rather than just clicking an arrow to continue. And for some unexplained reason, the first paragraph was in a regular font, and the rest in italics. This is just an annoying app to use.

I love this app but cannot figure out how to get rid of the ads, and I am willing to pay a bit to do so.
Could be more user friendly...
I enjoy reading the commentary provided and find it very encouraging, but I find navigating the app a bit frustrating. When reading the commentary you’ll see a reference. If you click on said reference it will take you to the Bible portion of the app, but you will not be able to go back to where you left off in the commentary portion; you’ll have to start all over.
Also, when wanting to go to the next verse that has commentary (say I’m reading Luke 17:7 and want to go to vs. 10 which is what’s included) I have to start over (choose book, chapter, verse). This all takes time and interrupts flow of thought.

One of the best apps ever
Love this app, all I can say is that try it and you’ll love it too, it’s free an full of great doctrinal truths, what have you got to lose. I have many commentaries by some of the early church fathers and contemporary writers this one brings balanced theological insight to them all. With this and other foundation commentaries you can compare the premier doctrines of scriptures, it’s almost like having a front seat in the middle of the great debates of history concerning the affects, faith, doctrines and purpose of the Atonement and saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Great, but...
Content is excellent and precisely follows Calvin’s written commentary. App falls short in ease of use. If you want to study a passage, you can only do so one verse at a time. At the completion of each verse, you are required to select your book, chapter, and subsequent verse all over again. Would be a 5 out of 5 if not for this user-unfriendly issue.

It’s great
The clarity mr Calvin gives to the scripture is extremely revealing and helpful.
