Right at my finger tips . ### 5/5 — Johnbabu *2022-09-27, version 5.0* This is a unique gift for the pastors and who love the word of Christ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was good once *2026-05-29, version 5.0* This is No longer worth having, it is now full of ads, the bible speak against using the gospel for monetary gain, we are not to make merchandise of men…. ### 1/5 — Not sure *2025-10-07, version 5.0* If this is costing me $149 then it is a scam. Don’t be taken in by this! ### 1/5 — Greek words and meanings *2024-03-06, version 5.0* Absolutely un helpful ### 1/5 — Use *2022-07-26, version 5.0* Don’t know how to use ### 1/5 — Heresy *2019-06-08, version 5.0* This dictionary makes the erroneous conclusion that speaking in tongues along with knowledge and revelation ended with the Apostles. I can't for the life of me figure out how any serious student of Scripture can be so blind. ### 1/5 — Not able to upgrade and remove apps *2018-11-30, version 5.0* This app has an option to remove adds by upgrading but when I try to upgrade nothing happens. I’m stuck with distracting adds and no way to remedy. ### 2/5 — Awkward *2023-08-24, version 5.0* I really enjoy my printed version of Vine’s. Unfortunately, as an app, it has a very awkward and cumbersome user interface. ### 3/5 — Unable to Eliminate Ads *2024-12-10, version 5.0* I press the "no ads" button, I then press upgrade, but nothing happens. I'm happy to pay to eliminate the ads. ### 4/5 — Good application *2026-02-01, version 5.0* I really like the app. The only issue I have is that it doesn’t allow you to remove the ads. ### 4/5 — Not working *2026-01-28, version 5.0* App not working anymore. You can search but can not click on the word. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — AWESOME!!! *2026-03-13, version 5.0* AWESOME!!!

This app is easy to navigate and I love the ability to quickly share whole definitions. Would be glad to pay to keep it around in the App Store! ### 5/5 — Thanks! *2024-11-07, version 5.0* Thank you for the app it is very helpful for my growth in Christ. ### 5/5 — Best!! *2024-04-05, version 5.0* For I phone you only get 2 options! This one is the one you want! The adds are small and minimal making it a much better choice! They do t interrupt your study either! ### 5/5 — Great tool! *2024-02-10, version 5.0* One thing that you may come to learn in your studies is that there will come a point when you need to know what the original Greek or Hebrew words meant. This will cast new light and understanding on scriptures that my seem hard to really understand or are often time misunderstood. Example 1Timothy 6:10 “For the love of money is the root of all evil:…” So one of my students said according to this money is the the root of all “evil”. So then if I commit fornication it’s not evil, or if I murder someone it’s not evil. Well his logic is based on scripture, however is it really? The original language word “kakos” means what is useless, incapable, bad, destructive, injurious. So we now understand that it’s broader meaning. But when you look up “root” for this verse you now understand it means “all kinds of evil”. And of course, having a word for word interlinear will help clarify that it is “a” root of all kinds of evil. Not “the root of all evil”. ### 5/5 — Cm *2024-01-06, version 5.0* Great! Easy and so handy for Bible Study tool at your fingertips :)) ### 5/5 — Vine Dictionary *2023-10-27, version 5.0* This app is a very valuable tool to me. It consolidates the large book form into my telephone with the ease of just opening the app. All of the information is at my fingertips. I will be using this app a lot as I am a believer, follower, and servant of Jesus Christ. Thank you so much.
