Good, but not perfect
I love the app, but I hate it that when I go to another app and kept this app open at the same time, it goes back to Judges chapter 19. Eveytime. I’m afraid to delete it to reinstall it because I may lose my notes.

Hello! Try out the latest 7.0 release. What we call "state restoration" should be improved!
Best KJV App by Far!
Love this app. So much easier to navigate versus any others I’ve tried. The look and feel of this app is also superior. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is due to a search bug on the iPad version of the app. When I start to type in the search field, the search window vanishes so I have to switch to the iPhone version of the app to search for anything. Also, recently I discovered that Lamentations 1:1 is missing several punctuation marks and in Philippians 4:4 “always” should be “alway”…no “s”.

Hello! Try out the latest 7.0 release. Let me know if it still isn't working to your expectations.
This update wiped out all my tags
This update wiped out all the tags I have been maintaining for years. Even when I try to restore them from my iCloud back up, nothing is restored.
Response from developer
I'm sorry to hear this! As you noted, the highlight and bookmark back-up files are saved to iCloud. They are also pretty easy to access from the Files app on iOS, Finder on Mac or via the icloud.com web app. (Each app has its own folder.) So if something has happened to a file, we can look at it and try to fix it. (If anyone encounters this again, please email support directly.)
Really Like this App
I really like this KJV Bible app. The mixed Bible reading plan provides daily reading from the Old Testament, Psalms, Proverbs, and the New Testament. It lists each reading so you can use your printed Bible if you’d rather not read on a device (which is great). It is not calendar specific so you can read as many days as you’d like, and you can start the plan or start a year over whenever you’d like. It keeps track so that you can start your daily reading right where you left off, even if it’s the middle of a day’s reading. Great tool.
There are, of course, other tools—some are very helpful—but it’s a pretty straightforward app, which I like. If this describes something that you’re looking for, I’d encourage you to check it out.

Search feature not working
Search feature isn’t working after recent update
Response from developer
Hopefully your issue has been fixed since. (I just release 7.0.) If not, feel free to email support directly.
Excellent!
I am very pleased with this app. It’s search function is great, and I love the availability of the additional books when Deutercanon is turned on in settings.
Skip this app
Poorly edited. Noticed grammatical and spelling errors in first two chapters of OT. Not worth the purchase.
WAS the best Bible App
This latest update for VerseWise is nothing like the original version, which I quite liked. Of course, I am exaggerating a bit, but enough has changed that I can't say I'm impressed with it anymore. One of my biggest complaints is that you can no longer change the text size in-app. Which means if I want a larger (or smaller) font size, I have to close the app, dig through the settings, and change the font size for ALL text on my iPod. Whoever redesigned this app should be ashamed. It was PERFECTLY FINE before, so why change it??? This is the first time in years I've seriously considered switching to YouVersion. Please either fix it or offer a "classic" version for us diehards that hate change.

This is an old issue, but I did return the ability to adjust text size in-app. Sorry!
Great App
I have no objections. It's worth the money. I love the bible reading plan with the apocrypha included. Amazing.
CRASHES
Every time I open the app it crashes. Please fix.
It's Missing 2 Esdras...
When the King James Translation was published in 1611, it included a list of books under the heading of "Apocrypha". One of these was the Apocalypse of Ezra, otherwise labeled as 2 Esdras (labeled in the Vulgate as 4 Ezra).
It is missing from this edition of the King James Apocrypha and it's absence is unacceptable. This book played a large role in history (such as with Columbus) and early 19th century Protestant revivals. For Orthodox, it's also important as either an intrigue or sacred text. Russian and Ethiopian Orthodox both accept the book fully as canonical scripture.
Add it to this translation with haste. I require it for my studies and this app is lacking without it.

Incomplete-TOTALLY WRONG
In the Authorized King James Version of the Apocrypha, the last chapter and verse in II Esdras is 16:78,1&2 Ezra is wrong and there is no 3 John in the Authorized KJV. This is a bogus app with the AUTHOR reauthoring what he feels should be the way the bible should be structured. DON'T waste your money on thus sham of an app. The REAUTHOR PUT AN orthodox apocrypha in an Authorized KJV bible. If you want an Authorized KJV Apocrypha, theres only 1 in the app store and its 99¢. I know because unfortunately i purchased all of them.
I e-mailed the RE-AUTHOR of this app on his online forum you can check and he said that's what he did and defended it.
Deserves -100 stars.

Awesome!
I have several Holy Bible apps but, IMO, this is the best one. It's very user friendly & has great personal preference choices.
The ability to have the Deutero-Canonical OT books included makes it quite friendly for Orthodox Christians who, overall, still adhere mostly to the Authorized Version. (For those who prefer the RSV, this is also available from VerseWise!).
I love it!

This has to be one of the easiest Bible readers I've ever tried. I use it daily.
Easy to use.
This Bible is easy to use. Love the search a word, and find any text. As a older adult, this bible version is very easy to use. Thank you for making it my # 1 app.
Good best so far
I love God and his word this app is the best king james version so far but im still looking if it would scroll through all the chapters without having to back out i would quit looking
Facebook bug fixed; now loses your place
The newest update has resolved the network connectivity issue where the app continuously attempted to connect to the network, rapidly depleting the iPhone battery.
The current version unfortunately has a challenge keeping your place when the app is quit for a more than a few minutes, or the iPhone is restarted. The "skip chapter selection" option is still correctly set so the app should "remember" your last read location in the Bible, but all it seems to "remember" is the last book of Bible you were reading.
Since this is a paid app, the developer has admirably tried to respond to challenges and deficiencies. Much appreciated and highly valued!
Hope to see a fix to the new bug resulting from fixing the last set of bugs soon.
The current version tries to connect to facebook immediately after launching the app. Without a facebook account or network connectivity the app perpetually tries to connect and does not time out.
This bug drains the iPhone 4 battery very quickly.
In settings an option to log off of facebook exists. But no option is provided to prevent or disable this app from trying to connect to facebook upon launch. It just automatically tries and will not stop until you quit the application.
Be warned, if you do not want this application to connect to facebook automatically every time it's launched, you will have no choice other than launching the app, quitting it, and re-launching again.
To the designers of this app: not everyone wants a facebook account, and with all the security and privacy challenges facebook experiences, not everyone wants their Bible app to automatically connect to facebook without the ability to control this behavior. Recommend either disabling this "buggy feature", providing the default behavior as "not to connect to facebook" without user choice, or provide ability to turn facebook connection off.

very pleased
This app is easy to use right from the beginning. I shopped long and hard for a good Bible app, and I am happy with this one. It is easy to read, rotates easily from portrait to landscape, easy search ability, opens to place where you stopped reading previously. I would like to see cross referencing added, i.e., when an OT verse is quoted in NT, etc. I recommend this app.
