Helpful everyday reading translation

I appreciate the commitments for translation, and the spirit in which this was crafted! Thank you for your good work!

Response from developer

Thank you so much! 🙌

Incredible original language work

First of all, as an app, it’s pretty fantastic. Clearly made by someone who cares about good app design that follows Apple’s standards. Secondly, the translation work is top-notch. I have an MDiv with an emphasis in Biblical Studies and do a lot of original language work. The team behind this translation knows their stuff. The footnotes are indispensable for study. Can’t recommend enough.

Response from developer

Thanks so much, Pastor Anthony! And yes, I can get pretty obsessive on expressing Apple’s HIG. 😇

Terrible Bible App!!!

Does not correctly translate many verses, manipulates verse meaning by switching out words, and is an abomination to the Holy Word of God! Do not download if you care about truth.

Bible Fan Fiction

This isn’t a translation. It’s just a rewording of the Bible based on the politics of the writers.
