His lessons are fairly concise (without rambling or getting too far into diverse interpretations), well delivered, and informative. I recently finished the book of Luke; it was slightly frustrating to scroll and search for each successive episode on the podcast, as the series is a couple of years old. This app will make studying a specific book so much more convenient, and helpful to share with others. ### 5/5 — Amazing resource! *2024-05-12, version 1.0* We have used these in our weekly small group studies to help dig into passages and enrich our discussions and understanding of biblical truths. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-05-08, version 1.0* I’ve used the podcast as a study tool for about a year or so now and I am stoked to see it in an app. I listen and drive a lot and this will make navigation and playback without Wi-Fi so much easier. Thank you for caring about the simpler needs of your audience Listener’s Commentary team. ### 5/5 — This app and the commentary are awesome! *2024-05-08, version 1.0* Finally! An easy and accessible way to dig into scripture via audio. I’ve been listening to the Listener’s commentary via the web for a couple of years and it’s fantastic content. Now the app makes it far easier to access and navigate to and through the different bible books! Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Incredible! *2024-05-08, version 1.0* I love this app. Dr Whittaker presents his verse-by-verse commentary in a clear and accessible way that makes even difficult passages understandable. I use it regularly in my personal study as well as in preparation for teaching. Five stars! ### 5/5 — Excellent Resource *2024-05-08, version 1.0* Stuck on a passage? This easy-to-navigate audio commentary is an excellent resource. ### 5/5 — Great resource! *2024-05-08, version 1.0* John’s ability to speak clearly and plainly about the Bible makes this a great resource for everyone. Everyone from church leadership to the skeptic will find this a helpful resource. ### 5/5 — Incredibly helpful resource *2024-05-08, version 1.0* I‘ve been telling all my preacher friends about the Listeners Commentary, and the app makes the content super accessible. ### 5/5 — Great resource *2024-05-08, version 1.0* I’ve been listening to the commentary for a while via podcast, but it’s often difficult to scroll through and find what I’m looking for. Having this app solves this problem. This is a great resource for personal study and edification as well as preparing for sermons. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 3/5 — Not complete *2026-07-05, version 2.5.1* I’ll check back when complete. The OT is so important to understanding the NT. Sadly only a few of these books have commentary. ### 5/5 — Amazing resource *2026-06-25, version 2.5.1* Love this commentary! It is such a helpful tool to study God’s Word in more depth and understand the history and context of each Bible book. Definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — Wow, this is a top tier app *2026-05-11, version 1.5* Seriously, this app is light, intuitive and polished. It provides a hassle free experience with direct access to the content. Kudos to the developers, y’all know what you ate doing. Some features for your consideration : - integrating a bible reader into the app to follow along the commentary teaching. - integrating the study hub content - integrating the bible in life Ebook on how to study the bible! With other helps content like maps and stuff. Lastly, i think the greatest aspect of this app is how light it is, so if it stays that way and all these features just become another app, thats okay. ### 5/5 — This is one of the best tools *2026-01-23, version 2.5.1* John does a superb job and gives an in depth commentary on the culture and context of what’s happening in each book! ### 5/5 — Praise God!!!! *2025-10-11, version 1.5* Grateful for resources like this. This is a gem. Thank you brother. ### 5/5 — Wonderful resource *2025-06-05, version 1.3* Such a wonderful resource to add to my Bible study. Thank you! God bless you! ### 5/5 — Great resource for understanding scripture *2025-04-19, version 1.3* What an amazing resource for learning and understanding the Bible, you get historical context and original meaning to words or phrases in key texts. Straight forward approach. I’ve been brought closer to Jesus thanks to the listeners commentary. I can’t believe this is free. I pray that more people find out about this wonderful resource. ### 5/5 — Bro, you need to get this app *2024-12-31, version 1.3* This is an EXCELLENT study tool that I use all of the time. The app is so much more convenient than having to scroll through the Apple Podcasts app for literally five minutes to find what you’re looking for. With a customizable playlist and helpful filters, you can pick up your study very quickly from when you last left off. It’s simple, easy to use, and contains QUALITY MATERIAL (something I find is somewhat rare today). Plus, the artwork is outstanding. Whether you’re working out, on a long road trip, or just doing your daily bread, this app is a great tool. Thank you Bible In Life. ### 5/5 — A Digging Deeper Resource *2024-12-04, version 1.3* This is a great addition to daily devotional time. Just what you need to dig a deeper. I really appreciate the details and learning new things about what’s behind verses relative to culture, language and timelines. So much to love here and the Study Hub too. Thank you John Whittaker, developers of the app and anyone involved! It’s been a blessing! ### 5/5 — Great resource for understanding scripture *2024-11-18* What an amazing resource for learning and understanding the Bible, you get historical context and original meaning to words or phrases in key texts.
