Best Bible app to date
Airmann
To the developer, I am also experiencing the rotation problem. It seems to have started after loading firmware 2.2. Also everytime I open it, it goes to Gen 1:1. I thought that before 2.2 it returned to where it was when it was shutdown.
help

Best Bible app I've found yet
WesJansen
Smooth scrolling and simple interface with lots of options. Did I mention the smooth scrolling? It makes for a distraction-free reading experience, which is exactly what you want when you're reading the Bible. Yes there are some minor touchups to the presentation (hiding the title bar, etc) but the developer will email you back when you write him so I'm not worried about it - I know the app will continue to get refined over time. Best Bible app I've found, I recommend it.
Perfect - once some of the bugs get stomped

I've been looking for THE Bible app for me. My primary criteria are that it have NIV and the Message and that they be on the phone, not over the network. This release does still have some bugs and room for interface polish, but the split screen is awesome and I'm very happy with the whole app.
Full Screen Reading
EganOnLine
The feature that distinguishes this bible app from all the others is the ability to hide the menu and status bars. I read the bible on my iPhone eveyday, and the extra screen space makes a big difference.
It's sacrilege I tell you!

I'll explain the title of my review at the end. This is a great feature rich bible application and I particularly like the fact that many different translations are available at the touch of the screen including the NIV and my favourite, the TNIV. Yes it is the most expensive bible app and it is indeed one of the most expensive applications in the app store, but you have to consider that this program utilizes copyrighted versions of the bible for which the programmer would have had to pay for. Many scholars have worked tirelessly to produce these accurate translations of the bible. If you were to buy printed versions of all these bibles you wouldn’t get much change from a couple of hundred bucks so in reality this is great value for money, and is actually cheaper than many computer bible programs that have less features than this. Not only do you get multiple bible translations, but there are also downloadable study guides and reading plans. Also the scrolling through the text on screen is wonderfully smooth. I am actually rewriting my previous review of this application and increasing my star rating from three to four. The recent update has fixed the bugs with screen rotation and now with the flick of your finger across the screen you can now advance to the next or previous chapter- a very welcome fix. If I were to be really picky I’d rather that these features could work a little more smoothly- they feel a little clunky and slow to respond, but this really is minor as they do work adequately. I really do like the wheel-spin book and chapter search and I certainly wouldn’t change this at all. However I would like also see a verse search engine too as this would be useful in a bible study group or in church- Maybe just having a verse jump to feature like the alphabet down the side of your iphone contacts list will be sufficient. All in all this is an excellent bible application. No matter where I am I can access the word of God- Once this refined and bug free I'm sure this will become a five star app. A must for any iphone owning Christian or student of the bible. Anyway to explain my review title- I recently returned from a trip and due to the ever reduced baggage limits on planes these days I decided that I don't need to take my printed bible as I have the bible on my phone now, and I could use the space to carry something else. I visited a local church on the Sunday of my trip and used biblescope- setting my phone to airplane mode so it wouldn't ring in church of course. I heard a muttering from a woman seated behind me going on about putting the bible on a cell phone is insulting to the Lord. The word was meant to be in a book! It's sacrilege! Oh well I believe Tyndale had similar comments in 1500s when he first translated the bible into English from the Latin, so whoever made this app- you are in good company!
Great Bible App
D Graves
This app does everything I need in a bible app. The search feature is great and I love the full screen viewing of text. Another great little addition is the background and font changer. That's a feature I really enjoy. This app is a little expensive and load time needs to be a little faster. That's the only reason I gave 4 stars. I am being real picky on that though, so buy it you'll love it!
Great Bible App!!
Just Me and My Opinion
DOES WORK FOR ME (My screen name was a mistake when I did my first review.. don't know how to change it) I have several bible apps on my iPhone. Now I can get rid of most of them because this app has almost everything I need. The only thing I'm missing is the ability to highlight text. I researched this app before purchasing it and I thought it had highlighting. But I guess I went through so many apps that I got confused. If this feature could be added it would be the perfect 5 star app. The split screen is awsome!!! I love comparing 2 versions without having to keep switching between the two. Its amazing how you can read and scroll each side seperately. The commentary is also a great addition and being able to read the bible verse and review the commentary on the split screen is GREAT! I was going to purchase a new bible because somehow, during my aging process, the writing in my bible seems to be disappearing. I kinda stopped reading it because I had to wear reading glasses to see the text and my reading glasses aren't always readily available. I find myself in church turning to the verse but either listening to the pastor read his visable verse, reading it on the big screen or pretending I could see it. LOL! A new bible was way overdue! But.... I can see the text on this app just fine and if I can't there's a bigger text option. Also, I always have my phone with me so I can read, study or review the bible where ever I am. Sometimes at work we get into discussions about the Word and now I don't have to run to my car, get my small text bible, find my glasses and read or verify what we were discussing. I was going to purchase a good bible and it was going to cost me from $30 - $50. I wouldn't have had all the different versions: NIV, KJV, TNIV ect... and I wouldn't have had the commentary to go with it. I'm very pleased with my purchase and have already started putting it to good use. I know that once I show this app to my Christian co-workers and friends that have a iPhone they'll want to download it. Hopefully the price won't stop them. Its worth so much more! Please consider adding the highlighting feature. I'm a big bible highlighter!! Oh and............ Big up's to being a offline bible, saving my battery and being able to use it when internet is not available.
Good but buggy

This app has some nice features. I'm really enjoying the daily reading and the commentaries. It still has a number of bugs and the developer needs to work on its performance. It really is quite sluggish when switching between versions.
