I really like this app but recently when I was reading & switching back & forth from the Bible to the Commentary I noticed that the commentary of Proverbs 11:1 does not line up with the Bible. The commentary of Pro 10-31 is about the virtuous woman & starting at the commentary of Pro 12:1 its about all is vanity which is suppose to be Ecclesiastes 1. If you can fix this I would definitely give the app 5 stars!
Gooooooood!!!!
Best!!
I like the bible app, but how about maybe updating the thing
Ive been using this app on my iPhone for some time and I want to download it to my iPad, but there hasnt been ANY updates in some time now. I mean even a cosmetic update would be nice.
Best best ever!!!
My favorite bible app!
Supersedes All
This is the app that every Bible Student must have! It has an incredible amount of offline resources to use.
I like but...
I like it allot, but I would LOVE to save my bookmarks to transfer to other phone with the same app... Yes!
