Excellent application for easy access to verses. I would be nice though, if verses could be highlighted, with the options of color highlights, copy, save to folder, etc. Word search? Also, if the app could expand it's services to incorporate different languages, such as Spanish, Greek, Amharic, Arabic, etc. it has the potential to become the most popular Bible app out there!

Very helpful app for daily study and reflection. Grants you quick access to the treasures of the early church. Quote of the day gives you flash inspiring thoughts each day. Only problem is I can't use it on my older tab device. It'll be great if you could mirror most functionalities on your website (you don't have Quote of the day, all lectionaries and sign in options there...), so that a wider audience can benefit by accessing through windows and older devices. May Christ bless you.

The best bible app I have used that have 73 books, commentaries and other features! Besides there's also different translations, fonts, readings, sayings and video formats. The only thing is the auto rotate which is a little bit annoying, you cannot multi select verses and some verses in NIV translation only writes as "see footnotes." I'd like to suggest to add NLT, CSB and other newer ones for a thought-for-thought and word-for-word translation. Overall I highly recommend this app!

Very good concept, but lacks some basic things. I love with the tap being able to see the church father's commentary, but there's no reference to the letter or sermon or book it is from. Also there's no word search for the Bible as far as I can see. That would be very helpful. Other than that it's very good start. Edit: my mistake. I now see there is references, but when same the father continues it has no reference. So it should be understood as coming from the same text.

Really great app, however, there are some bugs and features i think would make it even better. I wish you could scroll without accidentally highlighting the text as you scroll, a task which seems somewhat difficult on my phone, being able to highlight more than one verse would also be nice, app also just sometimes seems slow and unresponsive, but usually this is not the case.

This app is amazing. I would suggest every christian to use it. A lot of times with these kind of apps they are janky or the UI isn't great. But this app works amazing, looks great, simple and above all else so helpfull in studying the bible. To be able to have church father commentaries on a verse with a few taps on your phone is profoundly helpful and usefull. Makes it easy and accessible for anyone to get into the fathers or just going deeper.

Have been using this app on a daily basis for months now. It is well-designed; light and fast UI, with settings for adjusting the font size. The verses with Commentary available are highlighted in red. And the Commentaries are faithful to the Orthodox traditions. A very valuable spiritual resource. Warning: May transform your life drastically for the better! :D

**ok, so there was an old update & my app stopped working so I downloaded it and now its all wonky. Now on dark mode there is a flickering line that runs the whole length of the phone on the left side and restarting app only solves it for a few minutes. Orig review from 2023 5 stars: Love it! I love that is offline and no ads, i plan on donating.
