This is the best bible app out there! It has a beautiful material design and incredibly smooth interface; it even has no distracting ads! I was looking for a bible app that would let me highlight, take notes, and share verses within the app itself. You can even change the theme color and switch between Day/Night mode for reading. Absolutely amazing job to the developers!

Almost perfect. Super simple and aestheticly pleasing. Opening the app takes you directly into the text, without having to go through other screens. My only gripe is in the number of translations. No NIV, ESV, or CSB. Any hope of seeing more translations in the future?

Brian Matei

The app used to be exactly what I was looking for, a smooth, Material Design Bible. Now, useless features are adding clutter, and the app's best feature, it's aesthetics, are being ruined. The nav bar goes over the content not to the side; why ruin what was already good? Why add these ugly gradients when it was fine before? All they needed was to add more translations, and instead they're slowly making this more like the terrible YouVersion app that I've been trying to avoid.

Jamie O'Neill

This is the Bible app you've been looking for. Simple, sleek and a joy to read. Includes the poetic King James and more contemporary WEB translations which complement each other perfectly. Yes it may be missing the more mainstream NIV and ESV ones but it's good for the soul to encounter the Lord's word in all its many forms. Thank you and be blessed.

Spencer Dale

New design is a major step back. The previous design fit better with the material design feel of android. For example, the sidebar needs to pull out over the top of the content instead of sliding the content to the side.

Nearly Perfect Has exactly what I want in a Bible app. Clean design with no unnecessary additions. Limited in the number of translations, but I can't fault the developers in that regard.

Perfect This app is very special if your very close to god it's well organized and very beautiful, I think this app needs more attention! :)

Benzer Bett January 10, 2017

Brilliant I love everything about this app. Wish we'd have the more popular Bible translations though. Brilliant nonetheless!

Jason Iijima April 18, 2017

Very clean Bible app. No frills, or clutter.

Reynaldo Gonzalez January 21, 2017

Doesn't have ESV

Sam van der Weerden April 11, 2017

Beautiful design (and awesome support)!

only5c April 11, 2017

Thanks Sam! :D

Naman Narang February 11, 2017

Amazing :)

November 26, 2016

Great app! First of all, great update! This app is very aesthetic and easy to use. I especially like the themes that were introduced and I'm also liking the level of polish that the dev's have added to everything. It's so nice to have a feature rich - yet minimalistic Bible app for Android. One issue for Nougat would be that the launcher shortcuts are poorly implemented.

only5c November 29, 2016

Hey Micah, thanks for the feedback! :D Ya App Shortcuts aren't great at the minute.. we're going to change it to more static actions soon (stuff like 'Create a note', 'Open verses') etc. :)

Caleb Kyle December 5, 2016

The developer is awesome and hot(not in that way, the room is too warm). Call Daniel to donate to help him survive

Danail Boyukliev November 28, 2016

Great design Was looking for a newly designed Bible app and this one is doing it amazingly. It reminds me of NeuBible for iOS which is also having standout design.

only5c November 28, 2016

Thank you Danail! :)

Draezo N November 27, 2016

Beautiful App This app is so simple to navigate and easy to use. And to top it off, it's so beautiful. I remember seeing it when it came out through the publisher's post on Reddit. Got it instantly and haven't regretted it once. Installed it on my mum's phone cause it's easy to use. Enjoying it so far. God bless you.

only5c November 28, 2016

Thanks Draezo, your support means a lot! :)

Taylor Wickens November 6, 2016

Light weight fast Bible Wish it had a few more features but it's pretty amazing as is. Note: found this app via Reddit. I can't find at all in the Play store when searching "bible". Needs a higher ranking!

only5c November 8, 2016

thanks Taylor! :) We'd love to be higher up the search results ... Hopefully someday :)

Robert Brumm November 6, 2016

Great app Clean and simple app, not cluttered like some others. I have discovered a bizarre bug: if I let the screen lock, unlocking my phone switches chapters (but only in Genesis for some reason). Gen 13 switches to Gen 14 or 15.

only5c November 7, 2016

Thanks Robert :) That is a weird bug, we'll look into it.

Mateus Russolo October 25, 2016

Beautiful app. Wonderfully designed, especially compared to many other Bible apps I've used. I'd be really happy to see a Portuguese translation to it :)

only5c October 26, 2016

Thank you Mateus! Portuguese is on its way :)

Gavin Matthew October 27, 2016

Beautiful and elegant! This is one well designed app. Very easy on the eyes and just clean. I've nothing else to say!

only5c October 29, 2016

Thank you Gavin! :)

Jim G October 28, 2016

Nice app Do you have any plans for more Bible translations?

only5c October 29, 2016

Thanks Jim! And yes, we do. It's one of our main priorities atm. We just need to sort out licensing :)

Ashton Kam October 26, 2016

Beautifully designed. But could use NIV, ESV and NASB.

only5c October 29, 2016

Thanks Ashton! :) We'd love those translations as well, but the licensing can be a nightmare. We're working on it though :)

Eric Roy November 2, 2016

Great Bible app with a simple, clean design.

only5c November 7, 2016

Thanks Eric! :D

A-Class Wizard November 5, 2016

Please NIV version would be amazing!!!!!

only5c November 7, 2016

Thank you, A-Class Wizard :) We would love to add the NIV, but licensing is seriously expensive. Maybe someday though.

Mitchell Cairns November 26, 2016

Wonderful app. Thanks!

only5c November 29, 2016

Thanks Mitchell! :)

Andrew tutty October 9, 2016

Fluid and Functional Loved the app from the off. Slick design, fluid transitions all lead to a thoroughly enjoyable and user-friendly experience. It is clear to see that the designers passion for Christ translates directly to their passion in producing such a wonderful app. Would highly recommend

only5c October 20, 2016

Thanks Andrew! ;)

Zachary Beland October 20, 2016

Beautiful design but... Love the app, smooth and beautiful but it needs more translations. I'd really like to see ESV and MSG translations.

only5c October 20, 2016

Thanks for the review Zach! We'd also like ESV and the MSG. We need to get to 5K downloads before we get licenses for them tho, unfortunately.

Ben Alderfer September 26, 2016

Great but could improve Love the look of this app but I'd like to see more versions (mainly ESV and NIV) added. Also, there seems to be a bit of lag when switching from old to new testament (watch the tab indicator)

only5c September 26, 2016

Thanks for the feedback Ben :) We've just released a new UI update, so there'll be a few bugs for sure, it should be working smoothly by the end of the week :)

Daniel Song August 15, 2016

cant wait for NIV translations!

Joshua Brown July 16, 2016

Best Bible app, visually and functionally It's now even better with multiple Bible versions. It's easier to follow along in service with the King James version, while I can study at home with the NIV

only5c July 15, 2016

Thanks Joshua! We have some exciting updates coming soon. If you have any other feedback email us at onlyfivec@gmail.com :)

mike fowler May 22, 2016

Awesome! Waiting on niv, and also having a few weird issues when rotating it flashes white and takes me to John 17 like, every time. Other than that loving it!

only5c July 15, 2016

Thanks for the review Mike! Are you still having that John 17 issue? If you are would you mind emailing us onlyfivec@gmail.com. Thanks! :)

Aaron Jamison May 30, 2016

Wonderful Great design, responsive devs. Asked about adding the ESV, devs mentioned they need 5k downloads due to licensing... So help them out!

only5c May 31, 2016

Thanks Aaron! :)

May 23, 2016

Best Bible App on the Play Store Minimalistic approach keeps the focus on the important things--gods word. Still waiting for more translations but great work by the devs.

only5c May 31, 2016

Thanks Joshua! :)

Craig Noteman June 5, 2016

Deserves way more love Really well made app. Beautiful, simple and easy to use. Also works offline!

only5c July 15, 2016

Thanks Craig! These kind words mean a lot! We have some cool updates coming soon. If you any other feedback feel free to email us onlyfivec@gmail.com :)

Justin Brooks July 17, 2016

Beautiful Really looking forward to seeing more translations

Nicholas Liew July 18, 2016

Super clean!

Jordan Hotmann April 23, 2016

Great design. Very fluid app. Was hesitant at first because of lack of translations but the WEB is actually very good (especially if you're used to NASB) and it being public domain is nice.

only5c May 22, 2016

Thanks Jordan! :D

George Mixco April 17, 2016

Great App, lots of little bugs When changing from portrait to landscape, changes chapters. When choosing a new chapter tends to force close immediately. Happens intermittently, especially with Isaiah 45.

only5c April 21, 2016

Hey George, thanks for the review! The app force closing when opening Isaiah was a bug, but we've just released an update with a fix :) If you have any other feedback be sure to email us: onlyfivec@gmail.com

Lucas Brun April 5, 2016

Great app Great app, simple to read. The night mode is fantastic and the book selection is very well done and useful. One of the best and most practical Bibles out there

Ryan Tankersley March 10, 2016

Great Design Except for Reading This app feels great in every way until you finally sit down to read it. First, I really don't like that every verse is a new line. It makes the reading experience disjointed. It feels like every verse is a standalone phrase similar to how Proverbs is supposed to be. I like that the verse numbers are both easy to find and out of the way, but it's not worth losing readability. Second, it only has three translations. I understand licensing is tough, but for me and likely many others that makes it unusable.

only5c March 15, 2016

Thanks for the feedback, Ryan! :) Sorry you feel that way. Licensing is tough, what versions we can add really depends on the amount of downloads we have. Don't hesitate to contact us with any other feedback: onlyfivec@gmail.com
