It is essential to my faith walk. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-04-08* Open the Bible is perfect and amazing!! Pastor Colin smith your amazing at sharing gods word !! I love this app and have had it for almost a year and open it almost daily!!!thank you pastor smith !!! God has blessed you !!! Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Expository Bible Teaching *2023-10-23* My favorite podcaster. He presents the gospel full of grace and truth. ### 5/5 — OTB *2022-03-02* Open the Bible section is fantastic! ### 5/5 — To know Jesus *2020-05-07* If want more Jesus a must have app. ### 4/5 — Where did the sermons go? *2019-03-22* The app updated and now I can’t find the sermons, only the radio program. How do I find the sermon series with the new update? ### 4/5 — Great resource *2017-11-10* One of the few apps you really need on your smartphone that helps you grow spiritually. The sound quality is as excellent as the content. It would be very helpful if the app can somehow indicate which message is already played on the list. When I listen to sermon series, it’s very difficult to go back to the sermon I heard last because they often have the same name. It might be nice too if it has a “pick up where you left off” button. (It does pick up where last played once I identify the sermon I was listening to though) ### 4/5 — Update *2015-11-03* Please provide app for new appletv ### 4/5 — Pastor Colin Smith! *2014-08-13* I love the app and that I can catch up with Pastor Colin's sermons while walking, jogging or traveling. His message is clear, and this app makes it easy. One small problem - after downloading programs for a long airplane flight, I found that the app hangs at the splash screen if there is no internet connection so I couldn't get to the downloaded programs. It would be great to fix that. Also, if there was a simple way to return to the program you had started when entering the app, that would be simpler too. If these changes were made I would definitely give five stars. Thank you for providing these sermons in such an easy way to get to. They are truly a gift. ### 2/5 — Can't post to fb *2013-11-04* Since this last update I am unable to click on the verse and post to fb. I used to love this app but am not happy that the app no longer asks me if I want to post to fb. I paid for the upgrade version for this reason and it no longer works. Not happy...wish touch bible techs would fix this. Everything else works fine except the post to fb feature:( ## Frequently asked questions about Open the Bible ### What is Open the Bible?
