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.

My favorite so far

Love this app just wish they had more Bible versions available

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

“Search” 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! 👏

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.

Such a simple, powerful and helpful tool for Bible study

My previous free app with similar features quit updating and became unavailable. It took some time to find Literal Word, but I am so thankful for it and for all it can do. It is the best I have found for simple Hebrew and Greek lexical searches. Thanks so much to the app creators, and especially to our Creator for speaking to us through the Bible.

Swipe for next chapter

I would love to be able to swipe to go to next page/chapter. I would definitely give a 5⭐️ rating if added.

Great Bible study app

This Bible with Lexicon is so helpful for seeing what the Greek and Hebrew words are that were translated into English. The Word of the Lord is alive and sharper than a double edged sword.

The best

Undisputed champion of Bible apps

Any plans for audio integration?

Great app, allows for true deep diving into concepts.

Exactly What I Needed

I searched for Simply the Bible and found this is perfect. Thank you!

Simply the Best Essentials

Easy to use Bible App, especially for the technically challenged. The Bible study essentials are on this app and the DISTRACTIONS from the hundreds of unnecessary translations and Bible resources are nonexistent; only the essentials available for your daily Bible study.

Surprisingly amazing

The design of this app is great, and it is what everyone diving deep into the Word needs. Focus on the Word alone and a deep dive into the words. Holy Spirit does the rest. Beautiful.

The best Bible app.

I’m grateful for this app. When I don’t have a Bible in my hands, I have this. I love John MacArthur‘s study Bible but this Bible app is fast, has hard press words studies, and parallel verses are navigated to and from with ease. I usually have this next to me when reading a physical Bible just to go to the parallel verses quicker than flipping pages. God bless!

Outstanding App!

It’s fantastic how simple but also informative the app is. One thing I would recommend, especially for those who have not taken Greek or Hebrew, is a speaker or translator to help pronounce the words.

Great Bible study app

This Bible with Lexicon is so helpful for seeing what the Greek and Hebrew words are that were translated into English. The Word of the Lord is alive and sharper than a double edged sword.

Truly Excellent

You won’t be disappointed with this app.

Absolutely wonderful app !!

I have been using this app for several years and absolutely love it.
I love the Lexon definitions and especially being able to see all of the word’s occurrences and usages in the Bible.
Plus the option of looking at other translations and how the words are translated there.

Absolutely love the option to add notes, which I use to add additional cross-references to specific words in the text.

Another five star feature with this app is that when you copy and paste a passage, the app doesn’t clutter up the text with verse numbers in brackets like other apps do.
Highlighting is a fun option as well.

Thank you Lockman Foundation for your love for the Word and your pursuit of biblical clarity!!
