User reviews

I use this every day and all night long

I love this!!! Would be nice if the audio feature had a 15 second rewind button on it as I would use it for scripture memory

From Good to Great

I bought the full version of this when it first came out many years ago. It was always good and and wonderful way to access Pastor John’s notes on a mobile device. But the earlier version was just “good” and had a few navigation quirks that I learned to work around without much difficulty. However, this new updated version has gone from “good” to Great! Many of the things that were issues before are gone now. It’s a truly great app now and one I use almost every day. Thanks!

Love this app.

Such an amazing tool. I also would like to see the new Apple UI Liquid Glass integrated if possible. Also, if the Home Screen icon can have a dark mode option for when it’s being used. Just nitpicking since the app is already wonderful. Thank you for this resource.

Amazing after update!! Just a Liquid Glass question though….

I just got the new update as of 8/4/2026 and it is so amazing! Everything was redefined and modernized!!! Love it. Keep up the good work!! (Also, for iPhone users, maybe accept the Liquid Glass UI, as it would make the app flow perfectly with the iPhone & users) ♥️

I love this app, but the most recent update leaves much to be desired.

Without a doubt this Bible app provides us with some of the most faithful commentary and study resources in our generation. I have been using this app for years, and have enjoyed it so much.

However, the recent update which aimed to overhaul the user interface and experience has taken one step forward and two steps back. It’s nice and sleek, but it’s not as intuitive as it once was. Instead of clicking on a verse to bring up isolated commentary on that one verse, you now have to swipe to go to a whole new page dedicated to just commentary. Alternatively you can click on a verse and swipe up. Either way, swiping this and that direction back and forth between text and commentary isn’t as simple as clicking on and off a verse.

I’ve also noticed the loss of some very basic features. For example, you can no longer highlight or copy multiple verses at once.

Then there are small bugs. If you click on a verse to give you options for what to do with it (e.g. copy, share), a little panel pops up. There’s an “X” to dismiss this panel, but clicking on it does nothing. You have to click on the verse itself again to remove this panel.

Amazing Bible commentary, less than enjoyable user experience.
