Ratings and reviews

What an app! It's great to be able to search a name or partial passage one can't quite remember. The highlight function is awesome. Adjustable font independent of system settings! It's great to be able to read God's word whenever the opportunity presents itself, instead of just when one is home near one's physical Bible. UPDATE- Thank you for adding the highlighter colors! It's already become my favorite feature.

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.

you need to purchase full app which I would but I'll never pay through Google again. I've been trying to get another app that I didn't order cancelled for 6 months and I just get the run around. They used an expired card and somehow keep charging that account. The bank refunds but then it's charged again. OSB is good. I have a hard copy. But Google is a 0.
