User reviews

fast and beautiful

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

Simple yet powerful

When I had an Android phone, I discovered this amazing app. No study notes or commentary, just Gods Word and word study. It was missing the NKJV and even though I loved this app, the NKJV is my favorite translation to read from. Some months later and I switched to an Apple iPhone and installed the apps including this one. Imagine my excitement when choosing translation and seeing my beloved NKJV! Thank you for such a simple but powerful app for just digging into God Word and with the word study to help!

A huge must

This app provides you with an accurate interpretation of the ancient Greek, Hebrew words to give a better understanding of the context of a verse. Nothing takes the place of actually reading the word.
I’m Greek but modern Greek is not the same as Ancient Greek. Very few words may be but most are not.
If I had one request is to have this app have an audio ability to read the Bible out loud. My eyesight is fading and I like to listen to God’s Word before I sleep at night.
Great App.. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED..!!!!

Search works great

β€œSearch” actually finds the verse I was looking for where other Bible apps don’t.

Being able to see the etymology of all significant words using tap and hold is the feature I never knew I need and wanted.

App is very snappy too, well made. Thank you, dev, great job! πŸ‘

Bible App of Choice

Literal Word is the Bible app I use. My only gripe has been the lack of the NKJV, but now that they’ve added this I have no reason to go anywhere else. It is plain, readable, and customizable to the extent it ought to be.
