About this app

The Good News Bible (GNB), also known as the Good News Translation (GNT), is a popular modern translation of the Bible into English. It aims to convey the meaning of the original texts in clear and simple language, making it accessible to a wide audience, including those who may not be familiar with traditional religious terminology or concepts. The GNB/GNT is often appreciated for its readability and ease of understanding, particularly among younger readers and those new to the Bible. It's widely used in churches, schools, and for personal study.

Ratings and reviews

After having finally finished the kjv, I find this refreshingly easy to read. It's almost like a different book. 500 years of language is enough to make the kjv a jigsaw puzzle of writing. I'm learning new things from just being able to read the text easily. The older translations at times are completely indecipherable. I've done a side by side comparison too and the meaning is well preserved. Great translation and a great app. There are some nice features here.

I love this simple translation for relaxing night time reading to get me sleepy. It has many customizations I can do to make it a easy night read with large print(not because I need it just relaxing) and dark mode. My favorite part so far is the side swipe to next chapter, as well as the check mark bubble you can hit once you complete what you read to track progress. Plenty of features, like bookmarking, highlighting, fonts, what you read etc. I like it compared to a lot of other apps. Thanks.

I really wish this Bible had a "history" feature so that we could go back and look up all of the last books, chapters, or verses we last read. Sometimes I want to cross reference something by looking it up somewhere else in the Bible, but I end up forgetting which chapter and verse I was last in when I attempt to go back to it. It would be a good idea to use the magnifying glass icon at the top right corner to search for our last position.
