I have used e-Sword for PC for more than a decade, and was pleasantly surprised that e-Sword for Android is nearly as powerful. Why this isn't the number one Android Bible app is beyond me. It is phenomenal how powerful e-Sword for Android is. There are a lot of free modules available, including at least a dozen English Bible translations. I find it indispensable for biblical and theological research when using my laptop isn't feasible. It's well worth the three dollars I paid for it.
Reviews for e-Sword: Bible Study to Go
At this time, very disappointed that there is no control for choosing a preferred reference in the parallel window. The resources available are worth the three stars, maybe four. But the limitation in not being able to choose what reference we want in the parallel window kills the experience. I'll keep the app, however, in hopes that this function will soon be added.
While I really enjoy using your app. It's amazing, all of the features it has for an android phone. However, PLEASE FIX the ability to access the N1,N2 and N3 notes. Ever since I downloaded the last update, I haven't been able to use the majority of them. 😔. Otherwise I'm happy with your application. Thank you and GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
I love, love, love this app! I have payed for some high priced Bible software programs that are so hard to learn that they are basically useless to me. E-Sword is perfect! No frills, no fluff, easy to use with great content! It has pretty much everything that I need! I have this downloaded on my PC and Ipad and was so excited when I seen that it was available for my Android phone!
I'm blown away. To me, this is easily the best overall Bible app available right now. Lifeway wins in free content, Bible versions, and reading plans. Blue Letter Bible might be better for in depth word study. But E-Sword dwarfs the competition in highlighting, tagging, note taking, and search features. It also has really slick integration between its commentaries, maps, devotionals, etc. With the amount of free content mixed with optional purchases, this seems like the best main Bible app
This is a great app. There's 1 issue that I've run into so far and that's concerning the "notes." When trying to place notes next to the scriptures, I'm often faced with bugs 🐛. Using the different font options(B, I, U) for certain words would change the font for all the other words. I'd be happy to give this app 5🌟 if you can fix these 🐛 🪲 🐞.
Naturally, it's a bit different than the desktop version, but I'm so UTTERLY THANKFUL that this has finally come to Android! I went over to biblesupport to download about fifty or so other Bible versions, dictionaries, and various reference books. I could not use modules that end with an "x" (bblx, dctx, etc.) as they seem to not be recognized by the app, so I had to go redownload them all, and use the modules ending with an "i" (bbli, dcti, lexi, etc.). I didn't bother with .exe files or zip files. I'll have to try those later. I am deliriously happy that this has finally come to us in Android form. I guess I said that already. :-) I'll be spending my weekend exploring it all!
Having used e-Sword on Windows for several years, I am finding the Android version one of the best I've seen. It has many different Bibles, commentaries, dictionaries and other study tools and the most customization and easy to use modular setup. For only being in ver 2 and already impressively feature-rich with active development promising more to come and great reviews. My only request is to allow import of my notes and bookmarks from the Windows version. Thank you and keep up the impressive work!
Originally rated this low but since an update was released, the module import function is working. That was the primary feature I wanted and needed. Always have liked this software, it's very comprehensive. The cost of it is less than a cup of coffee. Can't go wrong on that. Thanks for the quick fix! I'm using esword on all my devices now and it's fantastic!
I've been using e-sword for PC for years and love it. I just realized it was available for Android. LOVE the app. I can switch between versions instantly. Searches are super fast. Strong's and Thayer's are quickly available. I still like my laptop and the PC version, but I always have my phone in my pocket and the android version is as good as it gets! I highly recommend e-sword to everyone who asks about Bible apps.
