Ratings and reviews

The e-Sword is one of the best Biblical interactive applications to date. It supplies an array of options to help improve and enlighten understanding, by allowing you the ability with notation, highlighting, tagging, audio narration, and testing your knowledge study 📖. My only disappointment is that when listening to the audio, it doesn't show, an audio tracking bar that indicates what verses are being read. Otherwise, it's the best app out there.

Disappointed 😞 This version is not as user-friendly as the older free model. I am not able to use a lot of the Commentaries as I was in the old version. Especially disappointing is the fact of feeling they don't care. I did reach out some months ago by email and was made to feel that I was a bother, and they stopped communicating. I guess after so many just press here or there, it's not worth giving a person their time. I do enjoy the Bibles included in the app.

Very handy! Love it so much. I would like to see it slightly more user-friendly in terms of the layout, design and features. For example, the horizontal scrolling bar at the bottom was not the best choice in my opinion. That said, it's overall the best bible app, far and above the rest. And at only the cost of a convenience store snack, the value is there. Can't beat it. (Edited from 4 stars once I figured out how to delete memory verses)
