Historically Inaccurate
Nice detail but many historical inaccuracies.
Good Start
I like the idea, but having two problems with it. First there is no control of the text size. The text looks like it was meant to be read from an iPad, but from phone it’s way too small. Second, there is no way to exit the app once it is open. I have to shut down my phone to get out. Other than that, pretty cool.

Wow.
Absolutely fantastic. What a wonderful study aid to bring the Scriptures to life. I really wish further development on this app would continue. Adding an area such as the “new city“ and other eras of the temple including how the overall area compares to today.

Love it!
Appreciate this New Testament temple virtual tour—graphics look great on my new iPad Pro. Inspirational and helpful to go along with my Bible studies. Thanks, BYU for this resource!
Scripture study aid
This app is awesome. It makes sharing the New Testament stories way more fun(:
Educated
This is amazing. I feel as though I am walking where Jesus walked and the people of his time‼️
I really like it
This is my favorite app. Specially now that I am reading Leviticus
Wonderful classroom tool
I understand that you've done one for the book of Mormon now but I can't seem to find it? Teaching the book of Mormon and Seminary this year and get excited to use this resource.
Amazing!
I'm living in Jerusalem and having the virtual New Testament app has really helped me understand what Jerusalem and the Mt of Olives area looked like 2000 years ago.
Amazing
Amazing way to learn
Great way to learn!
Very cool way to get to know and visualize those places we hear about.
Incredible
This is stunning. I love it! Thank you BYU!
Disappointing
Some of the dimensions and various details in the Temple Mount enclosure are off. Also, compared to other recreations in video or graphic form, this version of the Temple seems lifeless and abandoned to the point of looking creepy. The absence and/or alteration of various details adds to that sense. There are plenty of well-developed rabbinic resources that, if they had been consulted, could have greatly enhanced the preparation of this app. I'm deleting it.

Great start
Great job so far. Was trying to find the entrance to the city for Palm Sunday but currently the city views are restricted to specific locations. There is a bug in the temple tour where the sun appears black and sunlight elements show black all over the environment (the sun works fine in the city). No explanation about the Holiest Place (is that a rock? Where's the ark?). Looking forward to more detail, search terms to find places to explore (index of scripture references and locations), zoom into garden tomb/garden geth./calvary). Super excited about Ancient Rome/Greece and other places.

Amazing
Brings the scriptures to life. The creator of the app is also a wonderful professor. This is just the start, I have heard later versions will even have more cool features. And come on... it's free.
Awesome Idea
It will be great for my personal learning, but please, make the font larger and more legible! The font is pretty but too difficult to make out. Font needs to grow twice it's size.
The culmination of a lot of hard work
This app is great! You can tell a lot of care has been put into all the detail of the layouts. I especially liked the option to view according to touch screen or the virtual reality gyro function. It made me feel like I was transported there!
One thing to fix: when I was in gyro mode of a view, then tapped the eye icon to switch to a different vantage point, the gyro function stopped working and the viewpoint would not move. I would have to switch from touch back to gyro to get it to work again.

Graphics great but....
This is beautiful, but it is impossible to read the descriptions. I have an IPhone 6+screen and still can't see it. Anyone with a regular phone is just plain out of luck! There is no zoom feature for the descriptions either. Could you make a zoom feature for the description, or have it fill the screen when you tap on it? I would give it a 5 if that is fixed

Great work guys
I'm alumni and worked at the CID or CTL for a couple years as a student. This is great work guys. You should be very proud of your work. A suggestion... perhaps have one of the faculty do a guided tour and just have them speak freely and give more details. But great job. I look forward to really exploring this app since I've never been to the Holy Land and will probably never go.
