I’m not Roman Catholic but I am a Follower of my Lord And Savior Jesus the Messiah. TJB has always been one of my favorite translations because it’s accurate (it’s easy to ignore and overlook obvious doctrinal biases when they occasionally appear), it’s hasn’t been dumbed down but actually challenges the reader to study and pray about what God is saying.
Unfortunately, the publishers have never updated the font in its print form. I don’t know why but to keep publishing “photocopies” of the original edition, which has always been difficult to read, is now nearly impossible for me to read because the font is so small and the spacing so cramped.
That’s why I love JerusalemBibleHolyVersion. I can make the font bigger or smaller and adjust the spacing. Thank you, Oleg, for bring back TJB to me!

JerusalemBibleHolyVersion with it’s easy and clean and useful and up-to-date features and visual appeal, is exceptional, truly, hands down. It’s a 5-star app except for this:
One problem which is a big problem for research
•I search
•get my search results list
•select an item from the list
•read the item
•go back to the list
•the list is gone
JerusalemBibleHolyVersion does not retain the search argument or the search results list. Multiple items cannot be chosen from it.
It is necessary to start over each time, to re-enter the search argument, to select multiple items from the list.
When dealing with a long search results list, this bug involves a lot of retyping, losing my place on the list, and a lot of re-scrolling to get back to where I was formerly in the list.
It’s pretty daunting for research, inhibiting actually.
Do you plan to fix this?
Please know I will monitor your upgrades and will happily change my rating to the deserved 5 stars when/if fixed.

I want to remove the ads. When I hit the upgrade button to purchase ad free it doesn’t work. Please fix!
By Anti-Luddite
1. Can’t upgrade to get rid of ads.
2. Can’t highlight more than one verse to copy.
3. Can’t contact developer except through Facebook; I don’t use Facebook.
I’d like to like JerusalemBibleHolyVersion and pay JerusalemBibleHolyVersion developer. Alas, it isn’t easy.
By KevReviewTime
I’m asking that you update this very nice Bible as it is freezing and has minor glitches.
Thank you for considering this request.
By VMACLTD
I was so glad to find JerusalemBibleHolyVersion! My favorite translation. Easy to navigate too.

Please note this is NOT the 1966 Jerusalem translation but the New Jerusalem 1985 English version. It may be just a title oversight since this is a newly released app. To their credit this publisher offers great apps well worth having and only small non- interfering commercials. Check the others: there is already a NJB with audio as well.

It seems that the developers abandoning their work! JerusalemBibleHolyVersion becomes orphaned, can’t activate any features, especially removing ads! All comments are at least 3 years old.

Change its name to “New Jerusalem Bible”. Counter to JerusalemBibleHolyVersion description, this 1985 translation is NOT approved for Catholic worship (except with special bishops’ permission). The original 1966 Jerusalem Bible is LOTS better.

If you can’t have the whole truth then you are not the truth

This not the Jerusalem Bible text, it is different than the hard copy of the 1966 Jerusalem Bible that I compared it with!

I have one of the original hard back copies of this translation ; since 1990 ; and have used it many times ever year ; this down load is not the original ; by comparing what is written in my hard copy to this down load and there is absolutely nothing that compares at all ; also most of the time I use my hard copy for the comparative verses listed in the margins ; as Paul told us that one verse is not an interpretation of it self ; those are not there ; and I use the foot notes for further help and they are not there as well !
I can not give this any stars as these APP PUBLISHERS ARE SCAMMERS ON JerusalemBibleHolyVersion !
I have not checked out the other download from them : everyone please contact APPLE COPS AND REPORT !!!!!!!!!
By Quarred1
Thanks for your effort.
By MistyMoose
JerusalemBibleHolyVersion is fantastic! I can find what I want to read where ever I travel or sitting on my couch! Thank you!
By Edkess
One of my favorite translations. The new update is great.
By Emusiac
The format is nice, but it does not have the Apocrypha chapters of Esther that the modern RC Bible designates as A thru E. It is exactly like the new Jerusalem Bible
By SaintSain2014
This is the New Jerusalem Bible. Not the orginal. Need to change the name to reflect that.
By 75070
Not the 1966 NJ, but 1984 version. Look at Matthew 4:19 people not men
By mrmeach1967
Good app, but I have two gripes. (1) “No ads” should mean what it says. Why is Google putting banner ads at the bottom of every page? (2) This is the NJB, not the JB. A Bible app presenting the word of God can't begin with two misstatements of fact.
