  • PLEASE, PLEASE UPDATE THIS APP!

    By pgsmith1231 (Pcmac user)

    I use this app daily, some days several times a day. The tools are excellent! *Edit* I just discovered the module for the ESV with Strong’s Numbers—I excitedly downloaded it! HOWEVER, FOR SOME REASON THE STRONG’S NUMBERS ARE NOT SHOWING UP. I even uninstalled and downloaded a second time. I TRULY HOPE THIS CAN BE RESEARCHED AND FIXED. *End Edit* But I just today updated my iPhone's iOS to 10.3.2 (the newest iOS). I had operated a long time with iOS 10.0.2. I felt for security reasons it was time for me to update. BUT, after updating I was doing some Bible study only to find out that when I accessed my this app I was warned that it was not going to work with the new iOS upgrade, nor future iOS upgrades unless it, too, was upgraded. I am hoping and praying that you who are responsible for the truly wonderful app will be able to make it compatible with the new Apple IOS upgrades very soon. THANKS FOR YEARS OF NEAT AND SOLID BIBLE STUDY TOOLS! I'm hoping for many more years from you. May God bless your endeavors. *Edit* By the way, I am now at iOS 11.2.1 (yes, I’m still behind on updates), but the app has continued to work just fine. THANK YOU! *End Edit*
  • True Bible Students

    By Dubey Boy (Pcmac user)

    This is a great app! I have really enjoyed using it. For the most part it is user friendly. I really like the commentaries and the cross references from the TSK module. It helps me find other passages that cover the same point or topic. One of the great things about this app is that I can use it without the need of internet connection. I think thats great! Many Bible apps require internet to use them but not this one. The only problem that I’ve had is not being able to open the module with the maps of the Bible. For some reason I can’t get those to open. Other than that I recommend this app for true Bible students. God bless!
  • My favorite Bible app, but needs work

    By Randall King (Pcmac user)

    Includes the King James translation of God’s holy word plus Strong’s concordance. Easy switch allows turning Strong’s on/off. Has advanced searching. Has good options for font size and such. I also installed Matthew Henry’s Complete Commentary, which is easy to access once it’s installed. I highly recommend this app.
  • Fantastic Bible App

    By Roobadenov (Pcmac user)

    This app has been the best of all the different bible apps I have used for iPhone. It takes some practice to be familiar with all of the features, but it’s packed with features and resources including one that I can’t find on any other bible app: the ability to find all occurrences of a Greek or Hebrew word, which is essential for understanding context.
