Very helpful app for daily study and reflection. Grants you quick access to the treasures of the early church. Quote of the day gives you flash inspiring thoughts each day. Only problem is I can't use it on my older tab device. It'll be great if you could mirror most functionalities on your website (you don't have Quote of the day, all lectionaries and sign in options there...), so that a wider audience can benefit by accessing through windows and older devices. May Christ bless you.

The best bible app I have used that have 73 books, commentaries and other features! Besides there's also different translations, fonts, readings, sayings and video formats. The only thing is the auto rotate which is a little bit annoying, you cannot multi select verses and some verses in NIV translation only writes as "see footnotes." I'd like to suggest to add NLT, CSB and other newer ones for a thought-for-thought and word-for-word translation. Overall I highly recommend this app!

Excellent application for easy access to verses. I would be nice though, if verses could be highlighted, with the options of color highlights, copy, save to folder, etc. Word search? Also, if the app could expand it's services to incorporate different languages, such as Spanish, Greek, Amharic, Arabic, etc. it has the potential to become the most popular Bible app out there!
