Ratings and reviews

When I first moved to Android this app did not have all the functionality it had on the Palm. It now does and it does it great. The devotional syncs right to the Bible and highlights the verses for the day and you can mark off what you have read. It does this all on your phone so it works where you don't have a connection like on a plane. I was using another app that won't work if you don't have a connection. This app is much faster because it doesn't have to connect, I am so thankful to hav

I have used this app for many years on several different platforms, starting with a PDA. It was well worth taking the platinum package with lots of Bibles and commentaries. Full functionality make searching, navigating, and switching between books easy. No app will do all you want the way you want, but this one comes close. New add-ons frequently released.

I am pleased with the app, the available content, and the features. The ability to use multiple commentaries all linked to the opened Bible translation is most valuable to my needs at this time. I can easily review my seven most preferred commentaries to ascertain a reasonable consensus on context and meaning. The only limitation is the degree of depth of each published commentary. Laridian's store offers an exhaustive treasure trove of additional resources to add to one's virtual library.
