1. ★★★★★new interface broke what worked

   Not as advertised. No Greek or Hebrew translations. Only 2 columns with different versions to compare. The ? and = icons do not work and the support option will not send an email to address any issues with the app.

2. ★★★★★new interface broke what worked

   Old Interface. I understand trying to improve, but the new interface is terrible. It is not easy to use and it is completely unintuitive. Ordering texts is clunky and doesn't work well. Having to constantly rotate your phone is a horrible idea.

3. ★★★★★missing versions and features

   Why no KJV?. ?

4. ★★★★★new interface broke what worked

   Not very user friendly. It is hard to navigate and really research the root words. Not very good explanations for origins of words/verses. Not very ideal for bible study for beginners.

5. ★★★★★new interface broke what worked

   Can’t do what I wanted, but cooler than I expected.. Cool tap to change feature to toggle KJV/NKJV. However, for that very reason and because you can’t put the same version twice, you actually CAN’T use those two parallel. That’s why I downloaded the app. I want so bad to change this review to 5 stars, and I don’t want to be petty. But please, this is such a simple change. I really do like the tap feature, but it’s not a replacement for the option to parallel them.

   new update removed KJV. I don’t like the new update. Removed KJV as an option which I always read alongside the ESV. Also- the new update does not let you control the font. Thankfully you can access the old app through settings so I went back to that and can read KJV and read with a better font for my vision issues. I would like the new version since it can be offline, but I won’t use it until KJV is available. update: I was able to add KJV back, it just isn’t a default anymore. Still using the old version for font and size control but I am glad KJV is available.

7. ★★★★★greek and hebrew originals, word studies

   Great versions and features. There is a lovely feature that allows you to click in a verse to click again on a word. A word study feature. A easy to use FREE version.

8. ★★★★★side-by-side translation comparison

   Great - A Few Suggestions. Please add some more display options… - - N M S - - instead of Nominative Masculine Singular - - Definition - With Lexical Form as a separate option. - - Good app would like to get interlinear and parsing guide smaller so you can read it more naturally. - - would also be nice if you could easily toggle to not have dual versions up - Greek Parsing/Definition only. - - Lastly, It would be nice if you could toggle quickly between predefined modes. Single text Translation, Single Text Original, Single Text Parsed/Def, Split up/down, Split left/right. Split Both. Then you can define the different combo’s you want and quickly switch between them.

9. ★★★★★missing versions and features

   Needs Red Letters. This App would be an easy 5 stars if it had a Red Letter option.

10. ★★★★★greek and hebrew originals, word studies

    Compares 5 Translations!. I love being able to read Scripture while comparing five different versions because it aids my understanding of the meaning so much. Also, having the literal translation below of the original Hebrew and Greek words helps tremendously. However, I miss the feature that allowed me to go back to the previous location where I was reading.

11. ★★★★★missing versions and features

    I want to add more versions. I can’t simply change our add versions. How do I do that?

12. ★★★★★side-by-side translation comparison

    So far, so good. Outstanding way of comparing versions as need be. This makes all of the previous versions available and valid for showing the development of the Scripture.

13. ★★★★★missing versions and features

    Mario Restrepo. Love this app, but they need to add the KJV.

14. ★★★★★side-by-side translation comparison

    Near perfect. I love this app and have used it to learn other languages, however, it would be that much better to be able to highlight individual words or sections of verses. Otherwise, this is an excellent app, and I’m a big fan.

15. ★★★★★side-by-side translation comparison

    Very Convenient and great Bible app. This app is super useful for anyone who is looking into reading different versions of the Bible. I have had really good experiences with it and it will even let you take notes and highlight any verse or section that you want. The only thing i have found that could be improved is that if you highlight a section or put a note in one Bible version it doesn’t show when you are reading the other versions of the Bible. Nevertheless I have really enjoyed using this app for my own personal Bible study use and has been great at enhancing my understanding of the bible.

    Teenie#66. This Bible app has given me a clearer understanding of scripture. Thank you.

17. ★★★★★new interface broke what worked

    No internet. At the current moment I have no internet because of the storms rolling through our area, when internet is down i can’t use this App and I love this app. Please is there an offline version for iPhones and iPads.?? If there isn’t please install one for us.! We need it.! PLEASE HELP.!

18. ★★★★★side-by-side translation comparison

    Great app. I really like this app and the ability to see all versions

19. ★★★★★new interface broke what worked

    New App via iPhone - unable to see 3 versions in Portrait. Thank you for the new version and the ability to use it offline. I am having trouble seeing 3 versions in Portrait mode on iPhone (can only see 2 versions in portrait).Please advise what needs to change? I viewed YouTube videos which show a settings button but apparently it is only visible on Android phones. Please advise when the settings feature will available for iPhones?

20. ★★★★★gratitude and general praise

    User-friendly and doesn’t glitch!. I’ve use this powerful app for a few years now, and love the ease of access, accuracy, and wealth of information.

21. ★★★★★side-by-side translation comparison

    My Go To App for Comparsions. Dated appearance but very good content. Relatively intuitive for most features.

22. ★★★★★side-by-side translation comparison

    Excellent App. This is and exceptional app. I have all my Bible versions at my finger tips with extra resources.

23. ★★★★★side-by-side translation comparison

    Great piece of work!!!. The best parallel bible on the market! They’ve added both Hebrew and Greek word study. It’s very user friendly! I could go on but check it out and see for yourself.

24. ★★★★★gratitude and general praise

    A MUST have if you want several Bible translations…. If you want to see how a verse is translated say in the KJV, NIV, NLT this app puts them in columns side by side as seen in the pics above. This free app is wonderful. I refer people to it. Easy to navigate, instructions on use are excellent. Don’t discount this app just cause it is free. This FREE app has so many features it will blow your mind.

25. ★★★★★missing versions and features

    Very nice app. I like this app very much. I use it often and like the ease of comparing the different translations. I would like to see it expanded even more to include the ability compare more than four translations. Keep up the great work and I will definitely spread the word on this wonderful app. JT

26. ★★★★★new interface broke what worked

    Love this app.. I have minor concerns with this app. I can’t figure out how to log in, as there is no log-in place. I know I logged in maybe when I first downloaded, IDK. I would like to have the same settings on different devices. And on iPad you can’t do a split screen, which I feel would be great. I like that there are YouTube videos to explain the app. I also love that I can learn Hebrew and Greek. I love the verse and word study features. I think it’s the best thing about this app. Thank you creators for this app.

27. ★★★★★missing versions and features

    Exceptional Bible study app!!. I just wish they had red lettering included, but we’ll see in the future

28. ★★★★★side-by-side translation comparison

    Awesome app. I love this parallel Bible app. It is awesome. It allows me to clear a lot of things from the king James version thank you.

29. ★★★★★missing versions and features

    User input. Should add a feature where the words of God and our savior are highlighted

30. ★★★★★side-by-side translation comparison

    Bible study. Like this app. I can refer to both references.
