Hands down, the best Bible app I've ever used. I have used several and this one is seamless. I love it that I can switch from one Bible version to another quickly and easily. Then I can switch straight over to the versions with Strongs numbers, then straight into a split screen with the greek or Hebrew words and their definitions right there! It works great on my phone and on my tablet, unlike several other apps that work well on one, but not the other. Definitely a "keeper" on this end!

Have been using this for years. Like the option to highlight words, as opposed to whoe verses. Also like that you can make notes which are attached to the verse and will appear in every translation you use. The downside is the vertical /scroll text alignment is off... The first line of a verse is often just off the top of the screen. The linkage when viewing parallel translations is a bit finicky but works.

The Bible app by Olive Tree is a great resource. So many free perks to expand your library. Intuitively easy to use and navigate. Never be without a copy of your bible on hand ever again. I just added a digital copy of "Jesus Calling", which I have been using as my every morning devotion for years now, and that should make travel and camp outs less cluttered. It's all on my phone! Thanks Olive Tree!

While this app is really good, the issue I'm having is the highlight function. I can't highlight much without it skipping to another page or a couple chapters. It gets pretty annoying and frustrating. [UPDATED] still having problems with highlighting, everything else that I know of, I have no problems with but highlighting. It's frustrating, that even after all this time, it seems nothing has been improved about it, it doesnt work like it should. I am grateful but in that area, it fails terribly

Honestly, the best Bible app and its no contest. Easily readable offline, doesn't collect any of your data or sells your data, offers a large amount of versions to read, has daily verses and devotionals, and has no ads! Please keep this the way it is and just fix bugs! For those on the fence about trying it, give it a go! You don't even need an account.

Really buggy, charge a lot for books You Version gives for free. Has nice study tools though. I like it because it syncs with your computer. Also, there are notifications on the corner of your screen trying to sell you stuff. You can't disable it and it usually doesn't go away after you read it. Makes it hard to focus. EDIT: OK you can turn messages off disregard the last paragraph. Thanks Olive Tree.

Update June 2024, 10 yrs later. Was 5 stars, now 3. I do not see much improvement, and actually steps backwards are standing out. It sends messages that I cannot stop and when I click the messages the app just spins and has to be killed. I've started using other apps in parallel and evaluating whether I will keep this one. Love this bible app/tool. It always works, connects to everything and is in synch on every device. Intuitive interface and easy to read.

Excellent Bible study app, and it's free, with lots of other free resources. Any verses you highlight or make notes on, are synced, carried over to every other device you have the app installed on. The cross references to commentaries, dictionaries, etc you own are tied to each translation, not just the one you made the notation on. Love this Bible app! Best one for serious Bible reading or study. (and I've used several!) The learning curve is short. Support is pretty responsive!

So after the new update, I get a privacy setting that blocks the lower portion of the screen. I push accept, and it immediately crashes the program every time. Unusable now. *Update 2/20/24* Thank you so much for the tech support. I did all the steps that you listed in the email, and now it works perfectly! Big thanks to you guys for working me through it 🙌

The app is great. It works exactly as it should. Also, customer support is very quick to respond, usually within hours. The only issues I have are: Verse of the Day: The "frilly fonts" and "cutsie backgrounds" are not why I want a bible app, and they make it extremely hard to read in the notification area. They should offer an option to turn all this off and offer a "Text Only" option for Verse-of-the-Day notifications. My second issue is you cannot set a "start from here" when you leave
