Get the app and the hard copy of the NLT. ### 3/5 — Distracting *2026-07-09, version 10.2.484* I get it. Tecarta is trying to keep up with the digital times and culture. But with that and by sacrificing the older less distracting/simpler version, the Scriptures.. THE BIBLE.. God’s message is diluted with so many on screen rabbit hole invitations thru its buttons, scrolls, AI, devotional, notifications, prompts, customizations, colors, social media integrations/prompts, that its hard to stay focused on what matters. And it’s pretty difficult to get “your personal settings” just right so as to minimize them all. I love the access to all the knowledge, but it would be nice to have the OPTION TO GO ACK TO THE OLDER VERSION, because once you update the app from it (which I accidentally did on my iPad mini) I can’t go back to it. ANYWAY… please keep trying to perfect this and most importantly WITH GOD!!! … Romans 12:2, AMP ### 2/5 — My favourite bible but *2026-06-20, version 10.2.450* This is my favourite bible. I have had a LAPB since i was a young adult and each member of my family has one of their own. What makes this a 2 star is the audio features or lack there of. I usually would use the audio feature often but the ridiculousness of the dramatic nature of it removes from the meaning of the word. Very disappointing. The bible app has a simple reader that is pretty awesome. No need for the dramatic. And there is no audio option for the study portion. Which is disappointing ### 4/5 — Just purchased but 2 ?s off the top… *2026-05-19, version 10.2.335* 1)I totally missed that the default translation is NLT. I’m a true KJV person. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Not sure I understand what the info section means about how to view KJV offline. Pls share really simple directions because I just clicked something and it sd $12 for KJV otherwise. Whoa! 2) I’d like to copy the full section of information abt this App, but attempting to copy wasn’t possible. How can I get this info another way since I just purchased the App. I’m a tactile learner and being able to print the description info will help me know and use all of App benefits. Thank you! ### 2/5 — Since updating…. *2026-04-24, version 10.2.335* I used to be able to research articles that came with the study bibles and look for Bible verse at the same time with the same search word. Now it’s more complicated and harder to have access to these articles unless you know what chapter they are on. Please bring back that function from before the update for I have people to help bring an understanding to Gods word and this is making it harder….. ### 2/5 — I loved the format the way it was *2026-04-19, version 10.2.335* Without warning - everything changed about your format. All the systems I used were changed and now I can’t even find the translations that I paid for. I know you are doing your best to keep up with technology and probably it’s much easier for those who are much younger so, that being said, I understand why you are evolving, but for those of us who loved your program before AND are a bit older, it’s been very disappointing. Thanks for asking. ### 4/5 — The Bible *2026-04-06, version 10.2.272* Overall the great app! 💖 ### 2/5 — Update *2026-03-19, version 10.2.272* I do not like the update. It is quite confusing and the layout is overwhelming. This app was calming prior to the update. ### 3/5 — The new update *2026-03-17, version 10.2.272* The new update is different and still cannot get used to it. ### 3/5 — Only giving 3 stars because *2026-02-26, version 10.2.272* I liked the old version better. I can’t find anything on the updated version ### 5/5 — Perspective *2026-02-23, version 10.2.272* I love the way I can split the screen and read the opinions of the scholars in reference to each scripture. It makes it a bit interesting in regards to mine own u derstanding ### 2/5 — New Bible *2026-02-23, version 10.2.272* Not sure about this new version, I may get used to it and find my way around. At moment I prefer the old version. ### 4/5 — Took away my reading *2026-02-22, version 10.2.272* You made this too complicated! I have not been able to find my previous reading of the whole bible in a year. If this doesn’t get any better I will probably be looking for a different program. It’s almost like something that was made to stop people from reading the Bible. ### 5/5 — Awesome - worth it *2026-02-21, version 10.2.272* Amazing I love it! This app has got me reading and understanding more of the Bible then ever before ### 3/5 — Difficult *2026-02-20, version 10.2.264* To much for me! Just been on it a few days. I like simple! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Older was better *2026-08-06, version 10.2.535* I can’t search for articles or word definitions in the app anymore but in the old one you could and it would Bri g up all resources and any Bible verse with key word in it. Now I can’t serve people with answers as well and it hurts deeply. Please fix it. ### 1/5 — Bible *2026-03-24, version 10.2.272* This used to be an awesome app! Then they changed a lot of things and it is not user-friendly like it used to be! So sad because it makes me not want to read the Bible! ### 1/5 — Ramona *2026-02-27, version 10.2.272* I don’t like the new set up . I can’t locate the icon to pronounce biblical words which was provided on the old system ### 1/5 — Dissapointed *2026-02-23, version 10.2.272* So many distractions now. Can’t just go to the Word of God. Have to fight my way though all the marketing material just to find the Bible.. but this is me, I’m sure this is helpful and meaningful to others…not a fan. Perhaps giving people the option of seeing all the stuff…allowing them to customize the new face page, like how amazon kindle allows one to customize their experiece - but again it is all about the money isn’t it? ### 1/5 — Terrible Update *2026-02-20, version 10.2.264* I don’t know whose idea was to drastically change the life application app, but the new update is horrible. It will cause me to stop using it and find an alternative. For many years, I would read this every day and it closely matched my physical life application Bible. I don’t know what to say except I’m extremely disappointed. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed with the recent app change *2026-02-19, version 10.2.264* I really enjoyed this app. It was the perfect Bible study application. Since the app recently went through a change, it is absolutely awful. The text and sent structure is unreadable. The Bible text and study guide text are not presented as clearly. All of my notes that were saved, have disappeared. I’m looking for a new app to use instead of this one now. ### 1/5 — Not Happy *2026-02-18, version 10.2.264* I used to love opening my Life Application Bible to read it until this new update. Now it’s so hard to use. I had became accustomed to the old. I am not happy. Time to look for a new Bible app ### 1/5 — Update Reset all my stuff! *2026-02-17, version 10.2.264* So sad that all my plans I had been reading no longer have the ones I have read... it all reset ### 1/5 — What happened???? *2026-02-17, version 10.2.264* Why change such an amazing app????? I can’t stand the new design. Not user friendly at all. I’m so upset the original app is gone ### 1/5 — Latest Update *2026-02-16, version 10.2.264* This new update is absolutely terrible! I paid $20 for this app because the layout was exactly like my actual life application Bible and it was easy to navigate. There is so much unnecessary stuff added to this app now that makes navigating it difficult. Nothing was wrong with the layout, etc. of the app before the update. Please stop changing things that didn’t need to be changed in the first place. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Life Changing *2026-08-07, version 10.2.535* Everything that you would ask for in a Bible app. This app has so much content that will allow you to really study, learn and enjoy God's Word. Many translations. Many study notes. The ability to highlight in multiple colors. Copy text. I could go on and on. I have it on my phone and tablet and it syncs everything flawlessly. Great app! Kudos to the developers! ### 5/5 — Timing *2026-06-21, version 10.2.450* Wish I found this resource sooner. What a blessing. ### 5/5 — A much needed source of inspiration at your fingertips! *2026-05-25, version 10.2.335* 5 stars ### 5/5 — Incredible *2026-05-10, version 10.2.335* One of the best purchases I’ve ever made! I travel a lot so taking a big physical study bible in my carry on seemed impractical so I also ached and found this. So many awesome features allow you to dive into The Word in a way that I’ve never been able to. Would recommend 1000 percent. Never seen any bugs or crashes. ### 5/5 — Happy *2026-03-20, version 10.2.272* One of my favorite things I like about the app is that as I am reading through the bible it checks off what I have read. I never lose my place. ### 5/5 — Devotions *2026-03-18, version 10.2.272* I look forward to my daily devotions!! ### 5/5 — The sustaining word of God *2026-03-18, version 10.2.272* I love all his words more than my daily bread, they bring me hope and joy and praise his holy name! Given that, I used to get from Life Application Bible the scriptures, beautiful pictures, and stories on which I looked forward to everyday and counted on. Then, the Psalm 139:17 popped up in my feed this morning accompanied by not only a beautiful picture, but also explanations from other bibles and I was overjoyed. I truly hope it doesn’t disappear overnight, and would be curious to know how many other people love and depend on this, so keep up the work and good job!!! Edie Davis ### 5/5 — Rev. Clarence Bryant *2026-03-18, version 10.2.272* This Bible is very helpful when I’m studying and teaching. ### 5/5 — Great Study Bible App… *2026-03-17, version 10.2.272* I would highly recommend the Life Appliance Study Bible. It is very informative and easy to read. The mechanics of using the various features are simple and interesting. Don’t hesitate to get the LASB! ### 5/5 — Love the new look. *2026-03-15, version 10.2.272* Love the new look and flow of this new upgrade.
