### 5/5 — MacArthur Study Bible

*2024-06-03, version 7.16.2*

The Lord at your fingertips! The word of God in a practical app on your phone whenever and wherever you are. The commentary is insightful and edifying. The auto scroll is awesome too. This is a great gift for someone you love and well worth the money!

### 5/5 — NASB MacArthur Study Bible app

*2024-05-19, version 7.16.2*

I’ve only had app 1day and have recommended it to my close friends it is a terrific experience I’ve not found any other app as informative as this one is

### 5/5 — My favorite study bible

*2024-05-18, version 7.16.2*

This is my favorite bible study. I took the time to figure out how to use all the functions and I can tell you this is a great app,and worth every penny!

### 5/5 — Having Fun with God

*2024-04-03*

I love having the MacArthur Study Bible so handy on my phone.  I can easily move through the scriptures with ease.  Makes being close to Jesus when reading his word so easy anywhere I need to be.  Let’s me have fun with the creator reading his word.  It’s wonderful!

### 5/5 — Awesome Study Bible App

*2024-02-05, version 7.16.2*

Excellent App

### 5/5 — Uncomplicated Use

*2023-12-22, version 7.16.2*

Makes reading, study, notes, and references immediately available.

### 5/5 — Excellent resource

*2023-12-03, version 7.16.2*

Awesome digital resource. Have your written Word of God next to it. The Bible is alive even today. Amen.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2023-11-25*

For sure the most well thought out Bible study app I’ve come across. The fact that it can auto sync the commentary to where you’re currently reading and easily toggle between the two is worth the money alone. I was willing to pay for MacArthur’s commentary in e-format, but the functionality being top top is a pleasant surprise. Most Bible apps are clunky and a pain to use.

### 5/5 — Wonderful App but One Complaint

*2023-11-09*

Maybe I’m being petty.  But I struggle with navigation sometimes.  For example, I’m trying to remember how to get to Bibles side-by-side.  I have accomplished it twice and somehow it either disappeared or in advertently, turned it off both times.  I have gone through every possible scenario that I can think of and I cannot find it again after searching and searching.  Maybe it’s age related and my memory is failing me.

The app itself as wonderful as expected.  The detailed and never ending content and teachings are every bit the same as the many Sermons that I enjoy from Pastor MacArthur. I recommended very highly to anyone looking to game substantial knowledge of God’s word.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-08-26*

I never miss a day . Love this so much

### 5/5 — Feedback

*2023-08-19, version 7.16.2*

It’s a different type of bible but after I learned how to navigate it,I am really enjoying it. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Love this app

### 5/5 — AN INVALUABLE RESOURCE FOR UNDERSTANDING SCRIPTURE

*2023-03-01*

I have the print version of The Macarthur Study Bible, so when I saw this, I immediately purchased it and have never looked back.  I will admit, at 62, I struggled a bit with the functionality of accessing commentaries and other information that this Bible is known for, but with repeated use I learned how to access the features, and it has proven a very valuable electronic tool.  I still use the print version, but it is not convenient to always have at hand.  I give it 5 solid stars, well worth the asking price.   The Search function is stellar; at my age, I remember snippets of Scripture, but not always chapter and verse; “Search” helps immensely with that. The Daily Devotionals are always welcome.  Of course, Dr. Macarthur’s commentaries help with understanding the true context of Scripture, and the hermeneutics seem sound.  The only resource I wish it contained is an Interlinear Concordance.  Now, it may well be in here someplace that I just haven’t found yet, but currently I use another Bible app to fill in that “gap”.   A true blessing to anyone wishing to develop a true understanding of Scripture.  God’s Blessings upon all His saints, and Glory to the Son Christ Jesus.

### 5/5 — Great App MacArthur Study Bible

*2023-02-04, version 7.16.2*

Easy to navigate around the different books of the Bible. Very useful tool. I would highly recommend

### 5/5 — Incredibly Powerful

*2022-11-01, version 7.16.2*

The app is such a blessing to my own study and for preparation of ministry.
To have the richness of Dr John MacArthur’s study at your fingertips is incredible.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-09-15, version 7.16.2*

I would have given it 5 stars if there were more options for highlighting colours like orange and purple so I could use the same highlighting colours as I use in my non digital bible. Other than that it’s a great bible.

### 5/5 — Equipping the saints

*2022-09-05, version 7.16.2*

I knew immediately when I had downloaded this app that I had found the resource I had been looking for.I have listen to hundreds of hours of John MacArthur’s sermons and read his books. I knew the MacArthur study Bible would be a huge benefit for me but I travel often and caring it different places presented a challenge. this has given me a convenience for studying the word of God and this app is structured very well and has amazing functionality. 

Very thankful

### 5/5 — Best Bible

*2022-08-22, version 7.16.2*

The John MacArthur study Bible is the best Bible I’ve owned. Very good commentary. Love the NASB version. It is the closest to the Greek.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No LSB version

*2025-10-05, version 7.16.2*

Please add the LSB version. I know there is another app with it but I like this one better. Please add the Legacy Standard Bible.

### 1/5 — App broken - needs an Update

*2023-07-22, version 7.16.2*

This app no longer functions properly. It hasn’t been updated in 4 years, which is probably the reason.

Certain books will not display beyond chapter one, such as 1 John, 2 John, etc. you can select chapter 2, but it just goes to chapter 1.

When it was working it was my go-to Bible app.

Please fix this ASAP!

### 1/5 — YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING

*2021-07-21, version 7.16.2*

I bought this thing and it is not user friendly….there is no TOC, no tutorial, just dumps you into Acts.  Which I had never bought it.  Useless

### 1/5 — MacArthur Study Bible translation deceiving

*2019-05-13, version 7.15.5*

I bought the NASB MacArthur Study Bible and paid  for that...however, when I go to the Bible to read verses it is in the King James Version.  I wanted the NASB and now i don’t know how or if I can get my money back

### 2/5 — Chaplain

*2021-03-02, version 7.16.2*

I would not recommend this app, way over priced, for what it does.
I would return it if I could.
I have to correct myself,  I wrote the review above. However , after using it for a few weeks, it is not as hard to use as I FIRST JUDGED.  I is a decent app, and it is not very hard to use.  Just an old man’s opinion. Thanks, I should have waited.

### 3/5 — Haven’t actually purchased

*2021-12-05*

I love this study tool and works great except I have to use it streaming. I didn’t realize this until they advertised buying the actual copy for more $$$ so it’ll run if I’m offline. Just more in app purchases to make. Kind of misleading way to make more money. Other than that a good study tool and easy to navigate.

### 3/5 — Apple pencil

*2019-05-05, version 7.15.5*

Please  make this app compatible with apple pencil and the ability to make annotations right on the bible

### 3/5 — Brilliant but.....

*2018-02-11, version 7.12.5*

What a good app. The only thing wrong is the audio narration is not good quality. I have heard better. Fix that and get 5stars.

### 3/5 — Great app

*2017-09-19, version 7.11.7*

Would like more clarity between free and paid content?

### 4/5 — Great but wish had more of the “study part”

*2020-02-21*

Great app.  When I press the M, which links to the study answers,  there are not as many study answers as I have seen in other   study Bibles.   So my hope is that app will be updated to include much more in the “study” section.   Other than that, love it.

### 5/5 — Excellent help!

*2025-10-28, version 7.16.2*

This study bible is a great aid in helping me in a daily time in the scriptures.

### 5/5 — Outstanding Biblical Teaching for the glory of God🙏🏻

*2025-07-20, version 7.16.2*

I am grateful for the opportunity to receive the biblical teaching of Dr. John MacArthur.

### 5/5 — So much!

*2025-06-29*

Took me a few months to get used to all of the options to find info and cross use it. I just kind of dove in without reading all of the information on how to use it. Still coming across ways to better my learning. 
Incredible source of Gods word!!

### 5/5 — The best

*2025-04-24, version 7.16.2*

Amen 🙏 the best

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-03-15, version 7.16.2*

Literally a dream come true

### 5/5 — A great resource of the Word of God

*2025-02-13*

This Study Bible is absolutely beautiful. Different features of fonts, maps, footnotes, verse by verse study notes, the introductions, I can go on and on. The word of God is interpreted beautifully in this app. I don’t own the physical copy of John MacArthur’s Study Bible but I assume it’s the same information. It syncs from iPad to iPhone which is great, especially for the highlights. 
I have learned a lot from this study Bible app and I continue to learn something new all the time! This is the New American Standard Bible, which I haven’t owned before, and it’s great to bounce from the NASB to the ESV to the NIV to the KJV etc. to understand more of the text! 
I highly recommend this study Bible app to increase your faith!

### 5/5 — Bookmark?

*2025-01-26, version 7.16.2*

Fantastic study Bible with loads of resources and add-ons.  

Any way you can add a bookmark function on your next update?

### 5/5 — Comprehensive & Easy

*2024-12-08, version 7.16.2*

The most comprehensive and easy to navigate Bible app I have ever used. Dr. MacArthur’s notes are extremely helpful and deeply sourced in the original language.

### 5/5 — Always Thankful to McArthur

*2024-10-20*

Through the different seasons of my life, some on the mountaintop and many in the valley, McArthur commentaries have helped lead me back to the Lord many times.  I purchased the NKJV MacArthur Study Bible a few years ago and am rarely without it. When I am, it is due to its sheer size(every bit of which is necessary).  After purchasing an iPad I thought I’d try the app, though I could only find it in New American Standard. In my opinion, the only thing that could improve this would be providing the ESV and NKJV translations to be able to swap between within  the app.   Other than that, it was well worth the price because of the intuitive interface and slightly customizable “Cloud” Bible.  Easily the BEST part is the ability to save my notes, highlighting, and quick referencing related scripture, alongside of my reading or while listening to a pastor.  9.5* out of 10

### 5/5 — Gives more understanding

*2024-06-16*

Reading the scripture with this app really gives a more in depth view on what the verses say.  It helps that someone has gone through and did so much research ahead of writing.  It helps me with my in depth Bible studies and really helps me to have a deeper understanding of what God wants us to see when we read His word.
