So here's my take on the ESV Bible app. I've tested a bunch of Bible and religious apps, and this one's pretty solid overall. The reading and study features work well, and I like that you can customize things like reading plans and playlists. And the audio functionality is a nice touch too. At the same time, the UI is a bit dated and takes some getting used to. And the occasional ads can be annoying if you don't pay. But hey, it's free to download, so worth giving a shot if you're looking for a comprehensive Bible app.

Description

Been using the ESV Bible app for a couple months now. It’s basically a Bible reading and study app that makes it easy to dig into God’s word wherever you are. Pretty solid if you’re into that kind of thing.

Here’s what you can do – there’s a reader mode that strips away distractions so you can just focus on the text. And you can search the Bible by verse, keyword, or even just browse different reading plans. It’s got some cool audio features too, where you can listen to the Bible being read aloud.

Look, if you’re a regular Bible reader, you’ll probably get a lot of use out of this. It’s not perfect – the interface can be a little clunky at times – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want a solid mobile Bible app.
