Every one can use a little help now and again. It doesn't matter if you are a scholar, preacher, or have never picked up a Bible before in your life; Preaching Help can be of help to you. New articles are posted regularly to help you out and provide some insight into God's word. MercEmail (pronounced “Mercy-Mail”) is a brief, weekly devotional that you can access current and archived issues right in the app. You can check out the Video Sermons Steve Higginbotham preaches at the Karns Church of Christ, or just listen to the audio (wifi required). If you're planning a trip that will take you away from your data, download some sermons to your device, and play them back through the app at any time. There are also daily "Bible Meditations." These are 10 minute radio lessons recorded by Steve's late father, Frank Higginbotham that you can listen to or download. You can get Push Notifications on the app to alert you to new content. Each article can be shared via Social Media, Mail, Messages, or even Saved to the app. It is the hope of all involved with this app that it will enlighten you, help you study more, and bring you just a little bit closer to God.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Logos Bible at 4.9 against Preaching Help's 3.0. Logos Bible also leads on ratings volume (176K vs 2) and chart position (#53 vs unranked). Preaching Help's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 18) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
