### 5/5 — Great iPad bubble resource

*2024-01-09, version 13.1*

We have this resource in print but it is especially handy to have on our iPads. Very useful when you wish to study or research a topic or person and wonder what the Bible says about it. Keep in mind that this app resource links you to scriptures based on topic as opposed to a concordance, which is also useful to have in print or is app.  The only reason I would ever give this less than 5 stars is that there are some surprising gaps in topics. The resource would be even more valuable if additional words or topics were occasionally added.

### 5/5 — I must have for any viable student!

*2023-03-07, version 13.1*

This app is the fruit of countless hours of diligent study. It allows the Bible student to more quickly and completely comprehend biblical truths by seeing several related scriptures on virtually any given topic.

### 5/5 — Great resource.

*2019-12-21, version 13.1*

Great resource-Thank you.

### 5/5 — Just awesome!

*2019-08-21, version 11.1*

So glad to have found this app. Slick, intuitive, what more could you ask?  A big thank you to the developer!

### 5/5 — Prayer tool.

*2019-08-13, version 11.1*

Thank you Naves!!! Thank you Naves!!! An awesome app. I use it as a prayer tool for instance take the scriptures about thankfulness, reading them as Gods word to Me and then praying them back to God. Great!  Also it brings out different words on thankfulness but likenesses of the words you’ve chosen, not necessarily the exact words. Thank you for Naves!!!

### 5/5 — User friendly

*2019-07-15, version 11.1*

This app is so helpful to me in studying the scriptures. Highly Recommend it.

### 4/5 — Scott o

*2019-02-09, version 11.1*

Gave it four stars. The only way I think it would be great is if I could right and left swipe to go through the scriptures of a chosen topic instead of always having to go back the topic/scripture page to get to the next scripture. I use it often and enjoy it, but that small change would be a great enhancement.

### 5/5 — Naves Topical Bible

*2018-09-16, version 11.1*

A very useful app, easy to use and comprehensive. Recommended!!!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2018-05-14, version 11.1*

Thanks so much for this awesome app.

### 5/5 — Excellent resource

*2017-10-08, version 8.0*

This app is very easy to use. This is an excellent resource for bible study and education.
