About this app

Important Information:
- We recognize challenges with The Study Bible app. Our team is actively working on an enhanced version. We value your patience and understanding.


The Study Bible gives you a wealth of resources from John MacArthur and Grace to You to help you understand and apply God’s Word. Featuring the English Standard Version (ESV), the New American Standard (NAS), and the King James Version (KJV) texts of Scripture, you have immediate access to Grace to You’s sermon archive, featuring more than forty-five years of John’s Bible teaching (well over 3,000 full-length messages) covering the entire New Testament and portions of the Old.
With The Study Bible you can:

- Read or listen to Scripture in ESV, NAS, or KJV
- Show or hide verse numbers for a great reading experience
- Hear John MacArthur answer Bible questions
- Highlight Bible passages, add your own study notes, and bookmark verses
- Synchronize personal data across multiple devices
- Read study guides, articles, and three of John's daily devotionals
- Follow the MacArthur Daily Bible to read the Bible in a year with note that explain each day's reading

With the in-app purchase of the notes from The MacArthur Study Bible, you’ll have access to nearly 25,000 detailed comments by John MacArthur that explain virtually every passage in the Bible. Along with the notes are dozens of articles, charts, maps, introductions to each book of the Bible, and more.

Ratings and reviews

Besides being a Bible, this app is almost worthless. MacArthur's notes (if purchased) can only be used online. The search feature is substandard in that you can't come back to the results page by hitting the back arrow button. Text settings are less customizable than other Bible apps. Of course per other reviewers, the audio remains broken. In general, it has a feel that software development isn't finished yet. The And Bible is much better for its downloadable modules and offline use.

After several years use, this bible app still is one of my favorites. The notes and reference materials provide wonderful insight and fertile ground for additional study. The app itself is well designed and easy to use. EXCEPT the audio capability on Android phones stopped working a few years ago, and they have not fixed it, despite numerous reports & requests.

Solid Bible app that offers NASB, NKJV, and ESV along with Grace to You study material. Sometimes the app does lose your page when opening up, but the effect is minimal, especially in a Bible app. Also the audio feature doesn't work. I use the Youversion Bible app whenever I do need it instead. Overall, the app is classy and smooth. Personally I like it a lot.
