Slop Free Bible

I’ve tried so many different Bible apps for reading the word on the go. This is by far the best one I’ve found. None of the pop-ups, notifications, or social media esque streaks. The lack of additional slop would have been great by itself, but I was also delighted to discover the Greek lexicon integrated in a very user friendly way. It really enables Bible study when I don’t have access to an interlinear.

The simplest kite flies best

The moment I downloaded and opened this app I knew the creators took pride in their craft. This is likely the most well thought out, visually pleasing and easiest to use Bible app available today.

A great Bible app. Others seem keen to distract you from the word. This one lets you get on with reading.
