PocketBible Bible Study App App Reviews

I have used this program for years and find that it really meets my needs superbly! Initially, I wasnt sure that I liked the paging system and didnt understand why it needed to be that way. The longer I use it, it really makes total sense. I especially like the advanced feature of the tabbed interface and the new feature of being able to quickly switch between the tabbed interface and the windowed interface. I like being able to the original Greek meanings by just clicking on the Strongs number for a word. There are too many features to mention all of them but this program is a full and robust application. I carry my iPad to church and use this as my Bible everywhere I go.

This is the coolest bible app and is worth every penny! With searchable notes & highlights, my iPad mini is all I need to bring to bible studies & church! I have used Laridian digital products for years and it was great that I didnt have to pay again for books I had since my PDA days (do people still use these?). I dont know of ANY developers that do that sort of thing. On the day before yesterday, I installed the newest pocket bible app (was still using an old ver. 1.4.7) and mistakenly created a new account when I registered it and then purchased the "Upgrade to Advanced Features". I later found my original Account ID and corrected the registration so I could download all my purchased books - but then I couldnt get the upgrade I just purchased using the other account ID! I emailed support at 6:57 pm ... at 7:05 pm, the problem was fixed! AWESOME FAST! Dont even think about, this is the bible app you want!

Ive loved this app from the moment it came out, and the latest update has just made it even better. Navigation is simple, and now customizable for those who like to go through books different ways. The upgrade to the version 2 feature set is worth every penny if youre into any kind of serious study or even if you just like to have a dictionary or commentary open while you read.

I have owned and used Pocket Bible for several years. And Ive loved every feature of the app from the beginning. I just upgraded the latest version and tested out the new Search feature. Wow! I can search through the Bible...AND I can even search through my notes! That option is exceptional! Keep up the good work.

I have been using Pocket Bible since my days using a Palm Pilot. This app alone makes an iPad the best invention ever! Please understand that yes, you will need to buy additional Bibles if you want more than KJV. I am personally tired of hearing Christians think that software developers dont deserve to feed their families too! A quality Bible app like Pocket Bible is going to cost more than $.99! On to the app features: Want to simultaneously see 4 different translations on the screen at one time? Yes, pocket Bible can do that! Want to search for a phrase, but you dont remember which translation it is in? Dont worry, Pocket Bible searches all of your installed books at the same time! Get this app! Buys a few Bibles (be sure to read the "Buy it once" policy on the website! I am using books that I bought on my Palm!

Ive been using versions of this bible app since I purchased my first palm device. And I waited until an iPad version was available before switching to my first iPad. The attention this organization pays to detail and quality is outstanding. Thanks!

Is it possible that an update is necessary for the new iPhones? I have not been able to download my purchased content since upgrading to the 6 Plus.

Ive been away from PocketBible for several years. I used to have it on my Palm, then my PocketPC. Just recently I have tried it out on my iPhone, and it reminds me again of what great app it has always been. Ease of use: searching is very easy. On the iPad, it will search all Bibles and content together, then you can easily chose which version you want to read. The app is also bug-free and very stable, which is a huge thing in todays world of apps that promise much but are so buggy you can hardly make them work.

I have been using Pocket Bible off and on since the days of my first Palm PDA. I have tried out numerous other bible apps, but what I have now in Pocket Bible is beautiful on my iPhone 6! Search ended!

Ive been using this product since I had my Palm Pilot. Always very happy. Can use on multiple platforms with no trouble and without repurchasing for each platform. Noticed that some are having trouble downloading books on iPhone 6. I experienced the same problem. Was able to download the books one at a time. Slow but it worked. Hopfully Laridian will address this.

It will not search entire bible for scriptures. It is only searching inside the page you are on. Not only is the app not functioning; the desktop version has same problems. When you do a reinstall or update to your iPhone, it does not save notes, highlights or bookmarks. Spent good money buying the bibles but the app and desktop versions do not function well at all.

Laridian edges out the competition with PB for iPhone. No eye candy - their use of colour and graphics is pure functionality. A pleasure to navigate.

Was great. It was my go to bible study app. However, the latest update killed it. I can no longer use it on my IPad. Bummer!

This is the Cadillac of them all. It has the best and most features of any Bible app. Very user friendly. Ive tried many different Bible apps, PocketBible is the best one out there bar none!!! Thank you Laridian team, love it.

Keeps crashing since this last update

Really appreciate all you guys do, but the splash screen needs some work. The royal blue doesnt fit in with the icon or app design. Might look a little more snazzy if you used a different color.

This app has some really good features, but there are certain features that require an upgrade purchase. But some of these features, such as the ability to create a note not attached to a Bible verse or to label your highlighting style really should not be passed on to the user. These are standard note taking features that come free on most other Bible apps.

Wow, I cant imagine doing my Bible study or Bible reading with any other program. I have used Laridian software for years and it has been a blessing to my spiritual growth. I began using them when I had a Palmpilot, basically just as a portable Bible reader. Then after purchasing an IPad I began using the Pocketbible app every morning when I do my Bible Study. It has enriched my quiet time in so many ways that I strongly encourage my friends to get it. Once I started using it on my iPad, I purchased other books through the company to read in the app. For example, Mcarthurs Study Bible, Blackabys "Experiencing God" devotional, and a chronological Bible reading plan, and many more. Below are just some of the features I use. Some of these features may require the advanced feature set, but I believe its less than $5 for that option, and I have spent more on other apps that I never use. I would recommend purchasing the advanced feature set anyway if for no other reason than to support this company for such a great app. If you do it will be money well spent. 1: The ability to open several books at one time using different tabs. When I open the program every morning, I have 5 "books"open, my Bible, my Bible reading plan, Mcarthurs Study Bible notes, my dictionary, and a devotional. (I believe the tabbed function may require the advanced feature option). 2: The sync feature. This feature synchs your study notes to whatever your reading in the Bible. For example. When Im reading in the book of Romans, I may have a question about several verses. I can go to the tab with Mcarthurs study notes and immediately find the study notes for those verses without having to search for them. The synch feature allows the study notes to keep up with your reading progress. In other words they follow each other as you read so you dont have to "flip" pages. (You also can synchronize your reading progress, bookmarks, highlights etc between your iPad & iPhone). 3: Bookmarks and Highlights. The ability to highlight your Bible is always great. But when I began to bookmark verses as well it made searching much easier. For example, Ive created a category for "Grace," and when I find a verse on that topic I can assign it to that category. Then, when I want to review the verses associated with "Grace," I just look it up in my bookmarks and it pulls them all up so I can review them. 4: Search function 5: Buy it and keep it. I purchased a study guide on my Palmpilot years ago, and can still use them on my iPad. 6: Reading progress. If you use a Bible reading plan and devotional, it will keep track of your reading progress. Just go to "todays reading" and afterwards remember to "mark it as read." A couple of suggestions. Ive purchased the chronological reading plan and have really enjoyed it. It has become my preference when reading through the Bible each year. I can read scripture in the order it happened. Also really enjoyed Blackabys "Experiencing God Day By Day" devotional. If your serious about your Bible Study, this is the one to use. Im also using the latest version with no problems on my iPad.

Many available translations at little or no cost. I have used this app for several years and it is the one I come back to again and again. Recommened

Love it but now very Limited.
