Ratings and reviews

best study bible that exist. things I would change 1. use the septuagint throughout all the old testament (some verses and chapters use the Maseretic text) 2. use the byzantine text instead of the nkjv. 3. small bug with the highlight feature that when selecting a sentence it says "unhighlight" even though it isnt highlighted. I know 1 and 2 are not really possible since its an app based on the physical bible itself.

been using it for months. hey dev could you fix the text to speech issue. it still pauses randomly after it finishes reading a chapter and I have to click back and forth to get it to work again. I'm not sure what's going on. also could you add an option for the footnotes to be read at the end of the page for us text to speech listeners. I have ADHD so it is hard for me to memorize without speech. please? 🙏🏽

I already love the Orthodox Study Bible, but it's not something you can really carry around, so a lot of its great footnotes and commentary aren't usually something you can engage with on the go. At least until I found this app! You can access the daily readings for free, but to explore the whole Bible at will it's a $10 fee, which I'm glad to pay. Very easy to use and so useful.
