Contact Mere Bible Support

This app used to be great. It didn’t need to do a lot, and the few things it did, it did brilliantly. It was simple, elegant, and always worked great. Starting with the most recent updates in late fall of 2023, there’s suddenly a rash of new bugs and problems that in my years of use had never been there. For the few dollars I paid for this app when I first downloaded it years ago, it was everything I wanted it to be. Now, though, it looks like it’s time to find a replacement. Thanks for the great years!

First, let me state the design, layout, and user experience of this app is by far the best of any Bible app I have used. For that, the app is definitely worth the money. However, in an age where the Bible is free online it’s kind of ridiculous to charge an extra $5 to $10 for all of the most common versions of the Bible after we’ve already paid for the app (which doesn’t offer any study notes or plans). Would easily give 5 stars if each version of the Bible was free and they still charged for the app. But for now, it’s difficult to recommend.

This is a great app and it’s completely worth the money. I give it four stars because the search function is very frustrating. For instance if you barely remember a verse and want to find it you need to know the full exact word in it. For instance, if you are trying to find Mt 19:12 but don’t remember the book/chapter of it but you do remember Jesus mentioning the word eunuch in that verse, the search function won’t return that verse if you search “eunuch.” He says “eunuchs” (going off KJV) so you have to search that to find it. The search feature also deletes your search term after you select a verse to look at. If you realize it’s not the verse you were thinking of, you have to go back and type it again. This makes it really frustrating to do any kind of serious study in the app other than simple reading. With a really simple fix to the search bar, this app could work great as a concordance. I’d pay double for it if it actually did that.

Another note - I saw a typo when reading the ESV in Jeremiah (possibly it was in Job). I forget where exactly but it was obviously wrong as in there was a space missing between two words. I checked my paper ESV and it had it right. This severely undermined my faith in this app - I want to know that what I’m reading is really accurate and not cross check everything that looks strange! I have not seen anything wrong in the KJV however.
