User Reviews for Legacy Standard Bible

Great Translation and Application

The overall performance is great. There are a couple of glitches in the settings (e.g. selection arrows that go nowhere when you choose them, etc.)…very minor stuff that does not impact reader functionality. The user interface is very intuitive. Ability to customize almost everything is a plus, but maybe too much for some; however, the functionality and default settings have been well thought out. While reading, it remembers other locations you navigate to so you can quickly move between them, as well as between adjacent chapters. Once you close it, it remembers the last location but not the rest of the history. Navigating is simple and quick enough that this is NOT inconvenient. It remembers the width of the reader and note panes you set in both the portrait and landscape modes (very convenient). The amplify and context functionality for the notes is a nice touch, as is ability to change text style and size of them. The verse numbering is great because it draws your eyes to the verse number for quick recognition (I cannot emphasize enough how great this is). They standout boldly against the text and all the other reference numbers and letters used for the notes; something the GTY Study Bible app does not execute well. A simple, classy, and well implemented presentation overall.

Worth a Look

I know that I am a bit biased, since I was one of the translators! But I think that there is far more to this work than just the use of “Yahweh” and “slave.” Consistent translation of each lexeme (if possible); a formal rather than functional approach to translation (if possible); and the clear noting of OT quotations and allusions (some surprising) are just a few of the policies we tried to follow. Check it out!

Legacy Review

First, a word on the translation itself: This is an excellent translation in the philosophy of formal equivalence translations. It is very faithful to the original languages. Perhaps, more so than any other English Bible translation ever produced. I think it surpasses the 2020 update to the NASB quite a bit. It is typically more literal and yet it seems to me to be of a better literary quality as well. It reads very well for a literal translation. It is perfect for in depth Bible study and exegesis of tough texts.Secondly, the app itself: This app is also an excellent resource. It is my go-to Bible app on my iPhone. Actually, I barely use any other now. It’s very simple and user friendly. To me, it’s perfect.

LSB Translation

It’s a good translation with some new takes and also attempts to preserve what was good about past translations, in particular a renewed resolve for word-per-word (formal equivalence) but still readable. It has the potential to a great translation in history if it polished some more in its renderings of Holy Scripture. God bless you all who worked on this translation. In the Lord Jesus Christ’s Almighty Name, the Eternal Son of the Living God.

My favorite Bible app

Tecarta used to be my favorite, followed by Logos. Now by God’s grace this is the app I tend to reach for. Logos sometimes takes multiple swipes to turn the page. Tecarta works great but displays a page turn animation whenever you swipe. This app has elegant simplicity. Just a the text and tiny unobtrusive reference at the top that you don’t notice unless you look for it. Finally the LSB text is amazing. I would love it in a nice opaque-page large print Cambridge Cameo with wide margins rather than references.

Excellent translation!

I highly recommend this translation. I am a pastor and typically use the NASB or the ESV. When ever I study I will compare those two translations. I am excited that now I have another translation to use. I know that a lot of hard work was put into the LSB and that it is an accurate translation of the original Scriptures. I highly recommend this translation.

Great overall

The only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars is because it could be a bit more user friendly. It’s fine for just reading, but I tried to use some of the other tools and it took me too long to figure out how to get back to just the scriptures. However, I am incredibly grateful for this FREE app that contains the LSB! So I can live with the clunkiness of the app because I am excited about this version!

Needs Work

There’s always a challenge between taking the time to develop a good app and in getting it out to late or to soon. In this case, I’m happy to have access to the app but I think it was released to soon. The app registration doesn’t work. The copy and paste copies the verse footnote letters but not the verse reference. It has crashed on me several times since I downloaded it. The setting don’t actually seem to change anything even after changing the views. I’m sure y’all will keep working hard to make the app better. Thanks for your work thus far. As I see changes, of course I’ll change the star rating.

Great Translation

I have been thoroughly and consistently impressed by the LSB translation. Even though my first bible was a KJV bible, I was introduced to the NASB while attending bible classes many years ago being presented by a wonderful Lutheran pastor. I was seeking a translation other than the KJV (that I sometimes struggled with) that was literal, accurate, and consistent. The pastor encouraged me to consider the NASB. It was the one he used as a teaching pastor. Although down through the years I’ve read many translations, I always return to the NASB for serious and deep study of God’s Word. Instead creating a new translation, LSB takes an already great NASB translation as it base, enhances it, making it highly readable, while at the same time achieving an unparalleled accuracy and precision. That is a tough challenge for any bible translation team, and the LSB achieves it beautifully. The LSB has become my go-to study bible resource. My hope is that LSB smartphone app developers will continue to improve the smartphone app.

Best translation and app out there.

First, the LSB translation is meticulously accurate when it comes to the original text, and let’s God’s word speak for what it is. Secondly, the app is phenomenal regarding the user experience and simplicity of it. You can easily select the chapter and verse you are interested in, look up the original Hebrew and Greek definitions, and customize the fonts, backgrounds, and colors. Definitely has been helpful for me when I don’t have my physical LSB bibles handy.

Description

The Legacy Standard Bible is available as a smartphone app for free! The Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) is a translation that—at its core—seeks to be a window into the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. By translating individual words as consistently as possible within their various nuances, it allows the reader to discern what God originally wrote and know the author's intent.

In this way, the LSB seeks to be an improvement upon the NASB, while simultaneously preserving its faithful legacy. The LSB smartphone app features: ● The complete Old and New Testaments ● Brown-Driver-Briggs (abridged version) for Hebrew word definition ● Abbott-Smith for Greek word definition ● Search capability by lexical word Be sure to register your account! The LSB app will be releasing more content for free, that can be accessed through registering your account with Accordance. We are also working on creating resource packages that will provide even more ability for in-depth study!
