The Living Bible Reviews

by Surething2016

Seeking the Original hard copy 7th printing January 1977, Library of Congress Catalog Card number: 78-156898.

This particular “ Living Bible “ is compact with the easiest simplest form of English words. There is no confusion whatsoever, I own/ inherited over 25 bibles and this is by far the best in regards to “ wording or paraphrasing.

Only problem is, I can’t find copies of this particular “ Tyndale Living Bible “ January 1977 print. TheLivingBible version does not come close.

It says it is the living Bible but it does not read like The living Bible

I’m comparing this to the original from Tyndale. It is not the same. Will delete TheLivingBible. I wanted the real TLB Bible.

I love the accessibility of having the Bible on my phone. It help when I’m church or other studies for quick reference. The thing I do not like are pop up adds. So I purchased TheLivingBible for the year. You would think that I have an add free app. It’s ironic that a Bible app is disingenuous however, it is. Each book I go to an add pops up. Albeit they are shorter but they are still there. It didn’t say “shorter” adds it said “no” adds. That is not the case. It’s disappointing and nerve racking.
My recommendation is to use TheLivingBible but don’t buy it for “no adds”. Because that is untrue.

I really enjoy the Living Bible, however it’s annoying to always being interrupted by the movie trailer. It especially embarrassing when it happens in a Bible study group. Is there an app that doesn’t do this. I’m currently trying the NLB app, but it’s wording is not the same. Can you offer any help.

Why numbers for books? That is not good for the new believers.

by Enneah Joseph

Terrible. A person would have to know the exact arrangements of the books of the Bible. The way it is now, you have to guess. I absolutely hate it.

This is the only TLB Bible app on the AppStore and it has 5 stars. TheLivingBible needs more work to be 5 stars to me. There’s ONE main thing I don’t understand. When I want to look for a book of the Bible to goto; the page is all white including the letters. Change that…I don’t get WHY…you would make it like this;

The entire page is white and all the books of the Bible are written in white too or just off of the white color of the rest of the page. Are you serious? And not every book is there although it is. You just need to do that over.

Everytime I tap to scroll to another book I have to be squinting my eyes to try and even see where I’am at. Interesting we can see the words; Old Testament and New Testament in white letters inside of a black bar.

But the books are listed in white inside of a very light grey color in between white columns. Who thought of this? And you can only hardly see just the books that are in the light grey; you can’t see the books that are inside of the white. You understand? Fix this. Smh. 🙂

Make ALL of the books seeable. If you don’t understand what I’am saying or asking for; please respond back to me. TheLivingBible is kind of buggy aswell; it doesn’t work smoothly like a 5 star app.

Maybe it got 5 stars because it’s the only TLB Bible app in the store.

Peace.

Unable to view books of the Bible in black text which is a huge turn off.

This is a good app. It would be great if it had a option for it to be read to you. Sometimes I like to listen to the Bible while driving or when busy around the house. I would purchase ad free if it had that option. I do like that I can watch a video to get ad free for 3 days.

For some reason I can not see the books of the Bible. All I can see are the number of chapters. I like this version, however, I would like to be able to see the names books that are within and not just the chapters. The positive thing is, this will push me to learn the books in order like I use to and won’t have to worry about which book comes before or after the other.

I really wish I could delete old plans.

by Cuteypiecali

I like this being able to listen to it well I work but at the end of each chapter I have to hit the button to keep going that is the only downfall as far as I can see so far it’s only been a few days but that would be the downfall I would say and reason why I only gave four stars is if it could automatically play until you stop it would be even better.

Having the Word of God available at my fingertips in the English translation I love is truly wonderful and magical!

The simplicity of the text is refreshing.
