Ratings and reviews

Just what I was looking for! The app is very straightforward—easy to use and free from all the extra distractions other Bible apps can sometimes have. It’s nice to just have the Word of God alone with no extras. While it would be nice to have more translation options, having a clean and simple way to read the KJV or ASV on my phone is very much appreciated.

Nice, clean app! My favorite feature is being able to have multiple books open at once and go back and forth between various passages. I really appreciate that. I would give it five stars if it had a few more translations. And personally, even though the intent is to be minimalistic, if I were to use this as my only Bible app, I'd like to be able to take notes.

The simplicity is my favorite feature. I enjoy having all the resources in the YouVersion app but it's lost its primary purpose by popups and ads to plans and even badges of achievements. We don't need to game-ify the Bible. Bound Bible brings it back to His Word and puts focus on getting immediate access to the Word while including features that provide quality of life experiences.
