1611 King James Bible Version Reviews

by PROPHETESS GLORY

1611 King James Bible App is difficult to read due to grammar errors which changes the Word of God completely. Jesus is misspelled with an “I” as in Ice cream and not with a “J”. The word “Unto” is spelled incorrectly with a “V” and looks like “vnto”. The word “Have” is spelled out like this “Haue” and even the smallest of word such as “Do” which is just two letters is misspelled into a whole new meaning of a word as it spells out “Doe.” “Jerusalem is misspelled into the word “HIERUSALEM. You will not be able to use this to study the Holy Bible KJV because it’s poorly written.

As of yet, the developer has done a great service to those who accept the Deuterocanonical books as scripture. The developer has made many Bibles containing the entire translation (meaning with the Apocrypha) available, such as the Douay-Rheims and Synodal Russian translations with audio. This in itself is excellent, though a computer program dictates what is read and pronounced which is problematic for the 1611 Jacobean text.

However, this is not the reason I give 2 stars. I’d like to opt out of ads, but 1611KingJamesBibleVersion will not respond to hitting the “upgrade” button. I’d like to support the developer in this way, but cannot as of now due to the bug.

Very well put together, simple, effective, complete and easy to use; however, it will not let Me upgrade to the ads-free version when I click on the button, it doesn't do anything. I have tried both versions of 1611KingJamesBibleVersion you have in App Store and both suffer the same issue. Please fix this so I can upgrade. The version on My LGV30 works flawlessly!👌🏾

This is very helpful to have a digital version as Bibles, especially older versions have become ridiculously expensive. While I don’t mind the ads at the edge of the screen, as I ignore them, the pop up ads trying to get you to add another app are irritating. Hence why I did not give 5 stars.

I would also like to add a response to the person who left a comment questioning why people changed the original 1611 KJV language, remarking that it is a change of the Word of God. That is laughable a comment considering the original languages that the KJV was translating from - ARAMAIC, HEBREW and GREEK, would mean the 1611 KJV is actually a change of language 🙄. Unbelievably scholars and linguists plug hard at bringing accuracy to translations and improving upon the cultural nuances that come with translating foreign languages while contending with the organic and changing nature of modern languages in general. English is particularly difficult to translate into because it is a completely bastardized language which has undergone drastic changes, including up to the point of this 1611 translation, and since. Improving translation accuracy since 1611 becomes necessary in order to bring better understanding to people not speaking outdated English, including those whose first language is not English and who would not pick up on cultural nuances. Arguing about translations is foolish. English is not the original language of Scripture.

Would be easier to go to verses if you could select the verse you wanna go to & would like to read after selecting the chapter, this would be more efficient so that you wouldn’t have to scroll through the whole chapter to get to which verse you want. Can this be applied in the next update?

Thank you!
All praise to the most high 🙌🏾

I believe that the word of God is the highest form of light! All books, including the Apocryphal, are very important to me, and in my view, everyone whom claims to desire truth, should read the 1611 KJV, and daily mediate on its doctrine...for it’s the doctrine of the MOST HIGH ELOHIM’S (God’s) doctrine for life and peace!

by Rod Gulley

I’ve downloaded several versions of the Bible. This by far is my favorite. The ability to highlight, copy multiple verses, and search for frames, I think sets it apart.

Reading Scriptures is very comforting. Reading Scriptures from the original Scrolls is akin to having experienced Sir Richard Burton perform Shakespeare on stage. There simply is no comparison. To own the full leather bound volume of this Bible would be an amazing experience, (to feel the pages, smell the paper and so on!) As a negative, the ads do distract and the button does not appear to work to clear them.

by Leos Wife Pamela

This is one of the most awesome Bibles that I have found to be accurate as far as an app
It allows you to take notes it allows you to highlight or underlineScriptures that are important to you
It also has the apocrypha
You can highlight in many colors or you can choose to underlying scriptures that you deem important easy access
I say unequivocally thumbs up !!!!
this is the best app as far as the Bible that I have ever used
Awesome !!!!

I find it very easy to read this old style type English used in the 1611 Authorized King James Holy Bible. If you have the first letter and last letter accurate in a word, then you can make out the word even if all the letters in between are scrambled. It is a good bible to read from.

by Ned's Point

I couldn't ask for a better more accurate easily readable Bible authentic back to 1611. It's just the best and the fact that it's on my phone so I can access it just about anywhere it's fantastic. I just love it and thank God for it every time I open it up! Amen.

by Underwood8

I gave it this rating because I believe in the authenticity of the original version of the KJV version more than any other versions out there.

by JesusIPraiseYou

I researched which was most accurate and KJV is the winner! I notice a difference and am so grateful. If there is anything I don’t understand, I just look up the verse and come back. God bless in the name of Jesus!

by Ender1966

The commentary is great and covers every verse in scripture.
The language is a bit old fashioned but understandable. Everything shows up great on screen . There are no glitches as far as I can say after 2 years of use .

For me reading this bible is like taking a step back in time. The spelling of the words is like a spelling test in old English. It makes you feel like you’re there in that time period. Foe me it gives the words so much more meaning and life. I enjoy reading it very much.

by Crash Abbott

This is the first written Bible. This is Gods word, no other Bible was written through Gods instruction. Other Bibles are written in peoples own words, not Gods. In the 1611 King James Bible we should believe every word to be true, because God is truth and his word is truth, and God is the Word. We should feel honored and privileged to have Gods word and teachings to live by.

by Davine74

1611KingJamesBibleVersion has helped me a lot and for it to be free is mind blowing. When I need my 1611 kjv all I got to do is hit 1611KingJamesBibleVersion and go to war.... Well until they pull the plug on the phones and then you would need your hard or paper back Bible in your possession. I advise that you have both at all times. Then you always be prepared.

by Sia12589

This is not a Bible with Incorrect spelling. This IS THE CORRECT SPELLING from 1611! Thats the whole point to this!
Today’s Bibles are all CORRUPTED!!
They have removed scripture!! They have removed words!! They have changed it to fit people, like all you people complaining about the spelling!
Stop complaining and figure out how to read it! If you TRY AND CONTINUE TO TRY! God will BELIEVE IN YOU AND MAKE IT EASIER FOR YOUR BRAIN TO GRT iT.

Not the most search friendly when searching multiple scriptures at once. One has to back out to starting point then start again instead of searching where they left off.

by Ernie5whereyoubeenallmylife?

Contains books that were taken out by the Church. If someone is to study true Christianity then I believe that the study of the complete Bible is important. Don't settle for an edited version but study as complete a version of the foundational text the religion is based on.

by 2hot2b4got

I downloaded this Bible because I want to study on the omitted Books.
It will take longer to read in the beginning as one becomes accustomed to the unfamiliar letters, but that will also give more time for pondering and inwardly digest.
Do not know why the “rest of Esther” is blank?

by Opart7

1611KingJamesBibleVersion is not letting me upgrade so I can stop the adds, or I would have given 1611KingJamesBibleVersion 5 stars
- as for the comments about spelling, PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE SPELLING! This is how things were spelled back in the day so the truth is WE HAVE ALL BEEN TAUGHT WRONG. thanks for helping us to unlearn some of the satanic crap that we have been fed...........

This is an excellent application but please fix so that we can upgrade to the ad free version. I would be willing to pay a reasonable amount to do this.

Thank you

by Revparker12

I love the richness that is found in reading a source with some history. It is tried and true. I am not a King James only person but I do appreciate it not being dumbed down.

by JustVickie

You cannot fully pursue all of the earthly knowledge about God without reading this 1611 version of the King James. Love that the 1611 is out there for all to read. Thank you

by Old Bluezer

It's truly rejuvenating to finally read what was actually written. The newer versions are slowly destroying the true word of God.
