Ratings and reviews

Wonderful resource. I have a TON of Bible apps and apps for learning Biblical languages. Free and paid. Partially because so many do only one or two things, but this has both Greek and Hebrew, is fantastic in having audio, customizable interlinears or just show the Hebrew/Greek text, click a word to get a lexicon definition, split screen capability. I can forsee it replacing several other free apps I have which are far less customizable.

Amazing free app- I got this 5-6 months ago. I use it every day now 🙂👍 I've been learning Hebrew for about a year, and besides Aleph with Beth's YouTube videos, this is my favorite free go to resource. I love that you can play 1 verse at a time, that it can display the word roots... and it's so easy to customize/ format with other tools (transliteration, grammar, interlinear, etc...). Thank you!

Best Bible app I've found so far! I love the side by side study feature. I'm able to read through multiple different translations of the Bible, such as the KJV, NET, ASV, and directly compare them with the original Hebrew or Greek words! What a tremendous blessing that I'm sure will produce immense fruit for me in my understanding of God's Word
