What can we do to get five stars? :) ### 3/5 — Cannot change font size *2021-07-23* Cannot show English with Latin, cannot change font size. **Developer response:** Dear User, Sorry for the inconvenience you had to face. We have updated the Bible app. Please update it on your end, and this should prevent any further issues. ### 2/5 — Crash problems *2021-06-11* Looks great, at least the content that doesn’t crash every single time I try to go to it. Restarting the phone and deleting and reinstalling the app doesn’t help. If the problem is ever fixed, I’m sure I’ll give it a higher review at that time. **Developer response:** Hi, jphouston88, Thank you for rating us. Kindly let us know what updates or changes you would like to see in our app, in order to give us a 5 Star rating. ### 4/5 — Good, but crashes *2019-11-18* good app, in looks and content, but I can’t scroll past hebrews when trying to look at a new testament passage without the app crashing, everytime. **Developer response:** Dear User, Sorry for the inconvenience you had to face. We have updated the Bible app. Please update it on your end, and this should prevent any further issues. ### 3/5 — Really good but a few issues *2019-11-13* The new update to this app turned a good resource into a great one! Interface is very easy and streamlined, and the text is very accurate (based on my comparisons to a printed Vulgate and to the Gutenberg Bible). I use this app to keep my Latin sharp during spare moments and to compare an older translation to my modern ones. Used in conjunction with a good Latin dictionary, you can get a lot of meaning out of the particular word choices in this version and their ancient/medieval contexts. My only problem is that it hasn’t been functioning too well lately. The options for disabling ads don’t work, my app crashes whenever I scroll past 2 Timothy in the menu (effectively cutting me off from accessing the last several books), and when the verse of the day does appear (which seems to be random) it is sometimes just a black screen. If these are fixed I will change my review to 5 stars, because this is otherwise an excellent app. **Developer response:** Hi, ThePapercutNinja , Thank you for rating us.

They are extremely distracting. **Developer response:** Hi Magistra Latinae, Thanks for your feedback! We know ads can be overwhelming, and we're looking at ways to improve the experience and reduce interruptions. ### 3/5 — Adds, Adds, Adds *2017-01-28* Nice app, or it could be except for the Adds, Adds, Adds. **Developer response:** Hi FragnSlayer, Thanks for your feedback! We know ads can be overwhelming, and we're looking at ways to improve the experience and reduce interruptions. ### 3/5 — A great app with a few drawbacks *2016-06-15* Very useful and practical with some nice additional features. The audio is awful, just the usual robot voice sounding out letters and therefore mispronouncing everything! Very irritating. BUT... The permanent advert at the bottom of the screen makes it impossible to access the book of Revelation! And the intrusive advert that breaks in is annoying beyond belief, but I suppose it has to be paid for somehow. A nice app none the less, but would be better if the bugs were fixed. **Developer response:** Hi User, We’ve improved many features in the Bible app. Please update to the latest version and enjoy the enhancements. Let us know if you need any help! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The audio doesn’t work *2026-08-14* Why the Latin audio don’t work? ### 1/5 — Paid for subscription which I never received and support doesn’t answer chat and Apple won’t refund. *2025-10-27* Paid for subscription which I never received and support doesn’t answer chat and Apple won’t refund. ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-12-16* Kept crashing when choosing books. This happened with an Ipad. **Developer response:** Dear User, Sorry for the inconvenience you had to face. We have updated the Bible app. Please update it on your end, and this should prevent any further issues. ### 1/5 — Language *2023-09-11, version 2.0* Not in English as they claim ### 1/5 — Just in Latin *2023-06-02, version 2.0* Expected the Latin /English version since I got it in the US store. For Latin speakers only ### 1/5 — Mistakes *2023-03-10* Lost time **Developer response:** Hi Laurus2000br, Thank you for your review. What can we do to get five stars? :) ### 1/5 — No longer functions *2022-03-26* A bug prevents me from navigating to different texts—I’ve been stuck on Ps 22 for weeks. Attempts to get to a passage other than the one I’m on, except for a very narrow window (other chapters in Psalms) lead to a crash. If fixed, I’ll change the ratings, beciase it used to be quite handy. **Developer response:** Hi RbFoster7, We’ve improved many features in the Bible app. Please update to the latest version and enjoy the enhancements. Let us know if you need any help! ### 1/5 — Political ads in the Vulgate??? *2020-08-03* I’ve tried to activate the zero ad feature & nothing happens at ALL. Fix it please. Also there I am reading an excellent edition of the Vulgate & JOE BIDEN SHOWS UP IN A VIDEO AD- IN THE HOLY BIBLE???? ST JEROME IS ROLLING OVER IN HIS GRAVE. If you are forcing ads down readers throats at least stick to the sunblock ads. Church & State do not mix! **Developer response:** Hi, BobBobSmith, Thank you for your review. What can we do to get five stars? :) ### 1/5 — I tried this app’ but it always crashed *2020-04-06* I would not say it was very useful. **Developer response:** Dear User, We apologize for the inconvenience. Can you be more specific please so that we can identify the issue? Kindly reach out to us at contact@olybible.com. ### 1/5 — App crashes. *2019-12-28, version 2.0* This app crashes whenever I try to go to the New Testament. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A great Latin refresher *2025-01-23* If you are familiar with the New Testament and are able to interpret some Latin, this may be a great way for you to encourage retention of the Latin language. I use the Latin Vulgate Bible in order to increase my ability to understand Latin vocabulary. Using my understanding of the verses in English, I am usually able to figure out the words I do not know and see how they are being used. It is also helpful to read the Bible in a different language because there are different words for “love “ and for “you” ; and there are other words that could change the meaning that you are getting from reading only in English. **Developer response:** Hi Dablll! Your review means a lot to us. Thanks for a 5-star rating! ### 5/5 — A great Latin refresher *2023-12-18* If you are familiar with the New Testament and are able to interpret some Latin, this may be a great way for you to encourage retention of the language.

Let us know if you need any help! ### 5/5 — Insight *2022-04-07* To look at the scriptures through the lens of the Latinists brings perspective not otherwise available thanks for making it free **Developer response:** Dear User, Thank you for the 5-star rating and your kind support! ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2021-07-09* If I were better at reading Latin I would use it more. Nonetheless, I’m glad this resource exists. Pax! **Developer response:** Hi Dear User, Thank you for the 5-star rating and your kind support! ### 5/5 — Good Except for One Thing *2017-11-10* This is a great bible for those who are interested in the vulgate. The only drawback is there is no way that get this version ad free. Otherwise, a great bible. It would be awesome if an audio version came out as well. **Developer response:** Hi Jeremy, We’ve improved many features in the Bible app. Please update to the latest version and enjoy the enhancements.

That's so awesome to know!!! **Developer response:** Hi Dear User! Your review means a lot to us. Thanks for a 5-star rating! ### 5/5 — Very good *2016-05-29* This app is very well designed. The typeface is clear and the navigation is simple. I haven't even begun to plumb the depths of this app, as there are many features that I have not used. But of those that I have used, I can say that they work very well. Definitely recommended if you are interested in the Latin version of the Good Book. **Developer response:** Hi Jay Nelsestuen! Your review means a lot to us. Thanks for a 5-star rating! ### 4/5 — Missing Septuagint *2025-07-24* Although the app is a beautiful rendition of the Vulgate, it is missing the entire Vulgate including the books of the Septuagint. Given it was compiled by St Jerome, I believe it is important to include all the books from the 4th century, not just the Rabbinical canon from the 11th century. ### 4/5 — Bug problems *2020-01-09* I mostly can read the Old Testament, but crashes when I scroll down to the New Testament **Developer response:** Dear User, Sorry for the inconvenience you had to face. We have updated the Bible app. Please update it on your end, and this should prevent any further issues. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
