Pros and cons of PocketBible Bible Study App app for iPhone and iPad

PocketBible Bible Study App app good for

If youre looking for free bible, look somewhere else. Ive been using this software on my old palm tx, and moved to iPod touch, then iPad. The pocket bible Is aGREAt product if youre going to invest money on some of those tools, yes youve gotto pay for the niv study bible or esv study bible plus a few more commentaries and dictionaries. That will cost you about $80. Good investment! And you can use the purchased resources in different platform without further charges. I used my stuff on a win7 laptop, as I said my old palm tx, apple iPod touch and iPad. Note, I also own other free software as well
Legacy of stability - no fancy paper images but quick shortcuts, rich add-ons and options. Interface could be a bit more fancy but even without that - this remains a solid winner. Only two horses in the Bible apps race and this is one of them.
Bought the original Bible versions for my HP hand held years ago. Added my PC no extra cost. Added it to my iPod, then my iPad, then my phone, no extra cost! Looking forward to putting it on my MacBook Pro if that goes too! Paid for itself!!! And I can use it without WiFi hookup unlike some other Bible software! Bonus!! But not just Bible Versions but other study - support books too and Audio voice versions at a reasonable price (I thought it was at the time I purchased). You buy only what you want will use, a little at a time!
I first started using this app back in the Palm days. Its been even better on the Touch. I do wish that you could scroll rather than having to swipe to go page by page, but thats a minor critique. Ver 3 update: another super hit for Laridian! Love the new features and the new icon design.
A great product from a dedicated vendor. Been a customer since 2006. Gary Gehiere
This is an awesome application. Easy to use and packed with dozens of bibles, commentaries etc at affordable prices. Side-by-side comparison of multiple bibles, commentaries etc, notes, customizable highlights, easy access to bible books, chapters and verses, and so easy and intuitive. Makes bible study a wonderful experience each day.

Some bad moments

If there would have been the NIV & NLT included in the free version this would be a great app. You have to purchase these Bibles and theyre not cheap. Better to stick with YouVersion. Afterall, its free.
The description uses language suggesting that the NIV is included, its not. You have to pay I think it was $12 for it. And they force you to register to find that out. Not cool at all. Description should have been far more clear.
Laridians stuff has been incredibly full featured going back through a long history of devices. Gotta have it.
Well Im impressed! Simple, clean interface -- and whats amazing is that they remembered my Palm account from ten years ago and "restored" my purchases on my new iPhone -- and it was easy! Now thats service!
Ive used this app since 2003 on my old HP iPac Windows PDA, before the iPhone or app store ever came out. Ive benefited a lot from it. Its a reliable app with good features.
Powerful search, excellent in book navigation once you understand the tap zones.
