A wonderful app for using digital resources for Bible study - backed by an even better support team. I had a problem where audiobooks were no longer playing in the app on my device. The team was able to reproduce my issue and worked tirelessly to figure out what the problem was. It took a while, but once they found a solution, they updated the app and now everything is working great. The entire time, Angie, the customer service rep, checked in with me regularly until everything was fixed!

Awesome to use and full of a lot of great resources. Definitely the best app for studying as opposed to just reading. Also comes with many reading plans. My only suggestion is that the highlighter be completely updated and changed. The highlighter looks like a weak "text glow effect" rather than an actual highlighting of the text as we're all accustomed to on digital devices and the highlighter is one of the most used tools for most people when it comes to bible study and reading.

Very easily to navigate through the Bible. An app that is intuitive to use and is robust and not prone to glitches or crashes. The user can choose between 3 versions; although, I stick to the NIV and cannot comment on how or if you can easily switch between versions. There's other resources as well, like devotionals, which I haven't tried thus far.

Update: Seems that the crashing issues have been resolved and working fine. Thank you, thank you for fixing it!!! Use to be my favorite app for the Bible. but it's been so frustrating. Strong's lookup crashes, can't highlight anything without crashing. And only solution is to uninstall, reinstall and download all my books again. But that will only work for a couple of weeks before it starts all over. Please fix the software!

Love this app. Settings are amazing, bible selection is great, and I was able to download multiple bibles with different languages. The notes, and highlights connect well over mutliple devices, and are easily accessible for review sessions. My two biggest frustrations are more like areas for the app to grow in the future. I would like the app to stop shutting down when I use it for extended periods of time. It would be nice to have one or more audio versions available for free in the future.

I've used the Android and Windows versions of Olive Tree Bible app for many years. While it isn't perfect, it is the best for experienced disciples on a tight budget. It's offline feature is essential. Novices are cautioned that many available Bible "translations" are inaccurate paraphrases and/or are based on demonstrably flawed texts. Novices should be wary of ebook quality. For example: There are many typos and words added, but not part of the original text, are seldom identified.

Good app for Bible reading, online or offline. The user interface for selecting looking up a passage is well better than most Bible apps. Once two different passage mixed together from a bug, but I haven't seen that happen again. I like that there aren't distracting ads. I also like that I can access the footnotes and cross references in the translations.

Great App. (I have one improvement idea below). I really enjoy the additional organization options for notes and folders that have been added over the years. One feature I have always wanted is to be able to see the first few words of verses under the list of notes and list of highlights. There could even be a toggle button between seeing the list of highlights with what I wrote and then to instead see the same list of highlights instead with the first few words of the verse. I appreciate you!

Love the features bummed that some of the translations cost money. But not that bad considering that the most popular translations are free. Edit: After several years of use, this is still my goto bible app. There have been a few bugs along the way with using it, so i am going to leave my review at 4 stars, but overall, its been a great app to use. i really love the options it has for scrolling through the bible and the additional resources you can use in parallel.

By far, the best Bible study app out there! Easy to use, huge library of materials to choose from at a reasonable price with many items being free. I LOVE the parallel view feature. When I'm studying or teaching, i will always have a Bible translation on the left and a good Bible commentary on the right. Makes my lessons come alive. Thank you Olive Tree!
