5/5A very important app for those interest in exploring the Bible initially
Hello. Your App Store support link takes me to a page that is not including an app support email. So I will address my question here. First off, your app is my introduction to the Bible and it is exactly what I need in order for me to open my mind to it. Before I stumbled onto your website, I have been very confused when opening the Bible and so your app means a lot to me for a very important life change I am in. Thank you so much for that. Please keep doing what you are doing. My question: Many of the verses show the meaning. Many do not. What % of the Bible already has the meaning written into the app? And how long do you imagine it to take for the rest of the verse meanings to be placed in the app? I am VERY anxious to learn in the specific way you have set up your app. Even your meanings speak to me in a deep way that brings me peace as I read it. So I am very hopeful for this to continue into my life change. Thank you again. Please have a good day.

5/5Love this app for the commentary!
I love this app for the commentary! I love how it’s laid out and easy to use! I also love when Bible ref does do there commentary of the whole chapter and not just verse by verse like a lot of other apps do and if you do need to select a verse they give you that option to! I also love how it’s just easy to understand. Some apps get so technical and they loose me. For someone who is reading the Bible for the first time I appreciate how user friendly the app is and how easy it is to understand. My only down fall is they haven’t completed the app so not every chapter has a commentary option. I feel a little lost with out it because I can’t find another app/website like this one where it’s easy to understand. Hopefully they finish it soon!

5/5Thank you for creating this!
Review of the Bible Ref App I absolutely love the Bible Ref App! It has been an incredible tool in helping me understand the complexities of the Bible and making Scripture so much easier to approach. Every time I read a chapter, I get excited to open this app and gain a deeper understanding of what I just read. The explanations are clear, insightful, and provide so much context that I feel like I’m connecting with the Word in a new way. I truly appreciate the effort and dedication that has gone into creating such a valuable resource to help us draw closer to God through His Word. I love this app so much that I share it with anyone who will listen to me! Lol! If you’re looking for a way to enhance your Bible study and gain clarity, I highly recommend Bible Ref.

5/5The BEST Bible app I ever have used!!!!!
Even apps that make you pay for their pro version at $5 a month, still do not compare to this free app! Some of my personal favorites is the ability to compare each verse with approx 6 other translations, available commentary on each verse (I haven’t personally tried every verse yet so just fyi), and ability to get context for each verse by touching the “context” option. You will not be disappointed with this app! This is the first and only review I have ever done on any app in all the years of having an iPhone (dating back to the iPhone 3), so that should tell you how I feel about this Bible app compared to all the others I’ve had!!!!

5/5Amazing
It’s great to find out meanings of verses and the gives you summaries, context, and commentary on the Bible chapter or verse and as it explains it lists in what parts of the Bible it says certain topics it all overall explains everything in depth i think it’s the best Bible study app to use ever and for it to be free is just wow super convienet app hopefully developers don’t delete it this app helps me understand the Bible like never before great up keep up the great work and take care of this app super underrated I don’t know why it has few reviews I pray and hope for the best for this app and the developers thank you
