Reviews for ESV Bible

I used to love this app because it was quick to open up. But after the new update it's taken much longer to open, and navigating different books/ chapters of the bible is difficult. I've also noticed a quirk with the update is that second chapters of old testament books have some verses cut off. This could be because of the graphics they have put at the start of the books. All in all, I've moved to a different bible app and have enjoyed it much more. So I'm uninstalling this.

What happened to the ability to find a book or chapter immediately? It starts at Genesis and I have to scroll thru the entire Bible to get to the new testament?! The search feature doesnt work. The cross-reference is gone, which I used all the time. All my highlighted verses are gone. Finding a new app...there was nothing wrong with the way it was. Bad move to change it!

This was a great app and still gets the basic job done but I don't understand why there are zero options for the font. Not only is there one solitary font type but there is no option at all to change the size. I appreciate simplified settings menus but this is a but ridiculous. It's not nearly as useful because of this omission which is a very typical option on any other similar app.

Wonderful at doing what it says it will. Fonts and customizing are great, search features and changing books took a bit to figure out, but not bad. Includes choices in audio version. A very, very good English/American translation. Had previously used Bible gateway, which is still useful but often crashed. Have had no issues at all with this.

Straightforward Bible app, but with a few flaws that make it hard to use. One issue is that it is constantly forgetting my settings (dark mode, font size, etc). Also it frequently forgets my place and opens to Genesis 1. Finally, cross-references with dashes in them get totally garbled and link to the wrong place. I'd love to see these issues fixed, at which point I'd give the app a higher rating.

The only reason I did not gove this 5 stars is because the My Plans section is not syncing up. I have completed two plans and if I log in online it shows them gone, but in the app is has duplicated them. I have tried deleting, re-downloading, signing out and signing in, nothing seems to work. Other than that I love the app! Great plans, great layout, great audio.

I have used this app "religiously" over the last 4 years and it became my favorite Bible app. However, this version has many issues: the condensed font, the difficulty in selecting options by pressing the tiny verse numbers, there are no more textual notes, the cross reference verses have been greatly minimised, and the worse part, I have to log in everytime after the app closes. Please consider making some changes. The previous version was so fluid and was much more useful.

I had an excellent, useable copy on my Android phone which I had used at least every Sunday. I would have rated that one as 5 stars. It was gone from my phone the other day and the only Crossway ESV bible available for download is clumsy and certainly not user friendly. I still have the version which I have used for years on my tablet, when are you going to steal that one. Shame on you!!!!

You want to add features and make them premium? That makes sense. You want to remove existing free features and change them to pay? That is your right, but it isn't good business tactics. You got what you wanted. You moved someone off your app who wasn't paying. Congratulations. Even if it had been a one time fee, I would have paid. But when I go to a bookstore, I don't rent the Bible. I buy it. Subscription access to an app is a "no" for me. Disappointed. Good luck to you.

Good app, I can make notes and highlight text but wish that there were more than one color. I also wish and maybe others feel the same that a log in would be cool so that I can connect to multiple devices instead of a single one. Lately the app has been opening up whenever I switch from different apps without trying to use this bible app, getting annoying and frustrating.
