Often I find in your search engine when looking for a verse by using a word or phrase inconsistent. When the verse won’t appear in my search but the word or words do appear in the verse very frustrating. Also because I really love and use your Cross Reference to get parallel scriptures to further my understanding I’ve found inconsistencies there too. For instance in Revelation 3:10 where Christ is saying He will keep the Church of Philadelphia from the hour of trial that will come upon the whole world to test those who “dwell on the earth”. In your TSk portion, you don’t even reference “dwell on earth” in your categories of search. Notice the long list direct references and even a couple of indirect references as an example: Revelation 6:10,11:10,13:8,14,14:617:8 with direct quotes “who dwell on earth”. Revelation12:10 “inhabitants of the earth’; 13:12 “... and those who dwell in it” are indirect references.

I have used the BLB for the last 15+ years and it was originally recommended to me by the late Chuck Missler and I especially love the # of Bibles available for cross references and the easy to use format of seeing them at a glance. Over the years the above mentioned discrepancies have frustrated me and I thought you could use this feed back to make BLB even better. Thanks for all that you’ve done and will continue to do to make Bible illiteracy a thing of the past.

Updated review:
Thanks. I was able to turn off all gestures (apparently the simple tap to reach additional information on an individual verse can’t be disabled, so that may be a problem, but less frequent by itself). I changed my rating from one star to four stars. Thanks again.

Original review:
Sorry, but I was trying to stick it out with this app at least until I finished the Bible in a year. But it has just gotten beyond frustrating: Seemingly a dozen different accidental touches or swipes (sometimes when attempting to do something else) cause the page to disappear and (usually) go to the preceding chapter (sometimes a “search” page or something else). If I don’t happen to remember exactly which verse I was on, I have to search through or reread the chapter from the beginning because when I get back to that chapter it always opens at verse 1 automatically, even if I happened to be on verse 47 or whatever when my page disappeared. I don’t want to be angry when I read God’s word—and other Bible apps don’t irritate me so much. I just can’t use this one anymore.

The flexibility in this gem of an app is hands down the best out there. I have used this app for several yrs. I’ll estimate 5? I once tried to find another to compare and by far this out does them.

I bookmark, highlight, add notes and refer back often. I also use this as a tool for marking resource references on a project I have been working on for several yrs. in relation to my professional work. Being able to add notes and follow up later is great.

The only thing I wish it had (why it has 4 stars) (if it does I’ve never found a way) is to save all my bookmarks and highlights w notes on all my devices at the same time. So if for example I’m on my iPhone and mark something, It would be really (logical) nice that once back on my iPad I’d be able to find the same marks/notes etc. I’ve found that not to be the case.

My iPad mini , iPad 10” pro and iPad 12”Pro along w my phone all have different notes and high lights. It can be very offsetting to deal with. This is unusual to see these days. Most apps work on all your devices together.

The way I’ve found to work around this is by copying and pasting into my word doc app which does save my file from whatever device I’m using and can pull the same file up and copy paste when later using a different device picking up where I left off. However to have it automatically keep my stuff would be a LOT more user friendly! If it shared I’d give it 5 stars. The rest is great.
