Orthodox Bible Reviews

This just seems wrong on a serious level. I can read literally any other version of the Bible through apps like YouVersion and Blue Letter. Only orthodox is excluded. And then the “free” app has ads? And not just ads…constant ads. I had to go through 3 ads just to get to a point where I could actually access any scripture…and then there’s an ad banner while I’m trying to read. And still…all this could be forgiven if I could just buy OrthodoxBible and be done with it. But no. It’s a subscription. This just feels shameful. This is NOT how we promote the faith. And yet I am the only negative review. Nobody else has a problem with the shameless monetization of God’s word here? I’m just in disbelief.

Whenever I’m reading and a new add loads you reset at the beginning of whatever book you are on I understand this because you have to pay for no adds but come on. Let people read the Bible in peace

Don’t get me wrong, I am orthodox. The biggest flaw with this application is that it’s made to make money. You can’t read the bible unless your connected to the internet, there is an add after every button you touch, even if your connected to the internet the only thing you can do is read the bible. You can’t listen to the audio books and other stuff. God is not a means of making money. If they had just made OrthodoxBible completely free form subscription and advertising it would have easily been a 5 star and one of the most downloaded apps. If your going through the reviews to see if it’s worth it let me tell you it’s not. I’m being completely honest here.

I cannot recommend an app that tracks its users. Whereas I applaud your hard work and development of OrthodoxBible, I will not be using it for the reason stated.

Good:

OrthodoxBible provides the Orthodox Bible in text form.

Bad:

It’s full of ads, which can be confusing.

The Bible is not available in audio form so you can listen to it (except for some chapters in Psalms).

OrthodoxBible seems very nice, but everything just cost money, I am not that good when it comes to reading so usually I rely on audiobooks. I do like what they are trying to do, & I understand that they probably need to maintain the servers so that’s why they’re trying to make a lot of money off of OrthodoxBible , but it’s not for me.

I like the prayers and devotionals, but it feels a little robotic. Also, the scripture search and reading interface are pretty subpar. I recommend the authors look at Catena (app) and Hallow (app) for more engaging interfaces and features.

It’s alright I suppose. But it makes you pay money every month if you want access to everything. Pretty sad for an Orthodox app to charge people.

I’m converting to orthodoxy so OrthodoxBible is really helping me but I wish you didn’t have to pay for 80% of the content

Which archdiocese is OrthodoxBible developed from? Russian? OCA? Greek? Antiochian? Serbian? This should be displayed prominently somewhere.

The calendar is the one from the Goarch website, but Goarch uses the new calendar.

More details about the where OrthodoxBible comes from would be nice.

I like OrthodoxBible very much because it is hard to find an orthodox bible. One thing I would suggest is adding a bookmark option on each chapter and verse, so you can pick up where you left off.

This is very good but it can be better such as the removal of ads. I am aware of the lack of money causing slower development but I hope that when they get enough money they can remove premium and the ads. God bless

It’s to hard to navigate with the free version. The ads are long and make it hard to enjoy. I’m sure the premium version is great.

I love OrthodoxBible overall, but just as it has audio prayers, I wish it had audio of chants to listen too as well.

It’s pretty hard to go to the old and New Testament but other than that it’s really good,the calendar is helpful.

I purchased the premium app. Is there a way to skip to a certain chapter and passage for the daily scripture readings? If not, OrthodoxBible is rather unwieldy and cumbersome. Thank you for your help.

Great app! Love to have every book of the true bible. Just so people know, it isn’t offline (unless you turn it on before you go offline) and the book titles may be different than what some may think (for example, Hosea is Osee). Great app!

Great job guys, I purchased a subscription to happily keep this going. Looking forward to seeing what future things you have in store with OrthodoxBible. Thank you, and God Bless!

Orthodox Christians love and live the faith everyday. It’s beautiful to have this by our sides.

I believe that this version of the Bible is so wonderful to use for some who do not have their hands on a physical one. The formatting is perfect, although I wish the Psalms section could be formatted a bit differently. Please, open up this Bible, and praise our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth! ☦️⛪️

OrthodoxBible helps me educate myself in secret from my parents who are strict Roman Catholic. I still don’t know how to tell them lol.

Although it has some imperfections, I love OrthodoxBible already. I like to sit in the mornings and evenings with a cup of tea and just close my eyes and listen. It is very inexpensive app for the value of what you get. Support the developers so they can make it even better :D

I love this so much. I love being able to have such easy access to the Bible. I think it’s incredible. I recommend OrthodoxBible to everybody.
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ amen

Wonderful app.

I get my cup my cup of coffee, sit in my recliner and open OrthodoxBible. I start with the daily readings. Then usually go to one of the Psalms. These are moments that I truly cherish. It’s a great way to start a day.

We should be thankful for all the ones who helped to create such blessing for us Christians Orthodoxos.

It could maybe have a Greek Orthodox section to though,besides that it’s AMAZING!!!!

Is there an option to read the Bible if I do the annual option?
Also, when you do do the Bible section is very slow.

I wanted to ask if you guys could add subtitles to the audio prayers so that we could read along with it thank you!

I really like OrthodoxBible. It was just what I was looking for! Very cheap to get rid of ads and well worth it. They make improvements and add features regularly. Will always be my go to app for the Orthodox Bible!

Very good

Really good app exactly what I was looking for but I couldn't really read the calendar but other than that everything was great

People always look for guidance in life. OrthodoxBible gives a great message and reminder that e are all HIS children. Daily readings really help and I love the easy capabilities of OrthodoxBible ! 🙌
