Love this Bible study app

I have been searching for an app I could read the Bible and study notes on and when I found this one I was very excited about it! Since downloading it I have really enjoyed the access to John MacArthur’s notes while I read through the Bible. It works really well on my phone and I like that it has the option to return to where ever you were reading.This app is also a blessing in that it is a low cost option to having the John MacArthur study notes. In the past I have purchased Bible’s with his notes in them and they are very costly. This app allows complete access to everything in the actual Study Bible without having to pay a lot.One think I would love to see with this app is a pop-up bubble when you tap or hover over cross references. This one is very simple and great in that it allows you to quickly go to cross references and still return to what you were reading previously.

Great Job, GTY Team!

I am thoroughly impressed with this Bible app. There are plenty of Bible apps out there for the casual reader but this one makes a slam dunk for the student of the Bible. The first clue was the 3 translations offered, ESV, ASV, and NKJV. Many will find this limiting as they will probably desire more of a functional translation (like NIV or NLT) but a serious reader will know better and lean towards a formal translation like the 3 mentioned above.The John MacArthur Study Notes add-on was a no-brainer. I have never before been so quick to purchase an add on within an app. At that price, it’s a steal and worth so much more. The amount of content available will send you down a rabbit hole of almost endless study- notes, sermons, articles galore!Customizing the app for optimal reading is also very important to me and I quickly enlarged the text, changed the font, and opted for dark mode. I appreciate the freedom to customize my digital Bible. Another great feature is the digital bookmark. I use a reading plan that has me in two to three places at a time so I got excited to see how easy it was to mark my spot and jump around. I have not had that before in a digital Bible.Great job, GTY team! This is a fine accomplishment!

Some continual glitches that could be easily remedied

As much as I love the notes of the MacArthur Study Bible, and also much of the look of the layout, I have the same repeated continual problem as I saw at least some others have. Every time I use the app, at some point if I’m reading for long, the app freezes and won’t move; and then when it finally unfreezes, it jumps to the last chapter of Revelation. This generally causes me to switch to a different Bible app bc of the time delay involved, so I generally just defer to a different Bible app to begin with. Also while I’m on the subject, the other little annoyance is in the switching from one scripture location to another. It takes maybe two or three taps on the scripture address to get it to allow you to search another address. I know this can be fixed because the YouVersion app used to do the same thing and they finally fixed that with an update. It was a huge fix. And a little tiny thing is that having to select Old or New Testament is just another unnecessary step that requires an additional click. You can designate the move from Old to New without actually requiring us to select it. Also the Headings for new sections in the middle of books are not in bold and look like part of the text. One example is in the middle of verse 8 of 2 Samuel 19. There is a paragraph switch with a heading title that looks exactly like the rest of the text just stuck right in the middle of the verse.

Best Bible app out there

I do most of my deeper studying through this app. There are many things to like about it. For one you have great notes from John MacArthur available with just pressing on the scripture. Then when you do so you can easily go right back to where you left off. You can also directly route to reference scriptures and when you are done looking at a reference scripture you can go right back to the last thing you were reading. Makes for very smooth and quick scripture referencing. Also the colors of letters and background can be changed. Well the background can change from sepia to grey to black. I prefer black with Jesus words in red. Also there are many Recources such as daily bible which allows you to go through entire bible in one year while reading 4 different books at once. There are daily devotionals. Each book has an eleborate introduction. MacArthur sermons are available that apply to scripture that you’re reading. It also has audio if you like that. There are also writings from other people in there that apply to the scripture. I love it.

Phenomenal depth and cross reference

I recently bought a copy of this study Bible in NKJV. There are other high quality study Bible apps out there, and I continue to use them frequently. But I have to say that, both the hard copy and this app, by far, are the the richest in notes content, cross-reference volume, clearly presented translational and contextual transparency, and support in understanding the Scriptures in a single product that I have found yet. Great job is making the cross references and notes so easily accessible through the links that match the hard copy callouts and format.My only request is to look at the responsiveness of the “back” arrow key in the upper left corner of the app window. Occasionally it is not responsive to touch.God the Father is the LORD, Jesus Christ is Lord and King, and the Holy Spirit tirelessly endures us, pursues us, ministers to us, consoles us, chastens us, and just keeps on calling us to hear Jesus knocking at the door. Praise His name, indeed!

Worth It! Use Daily!

I need more English to Greek and Hebrew translations/ literal translations, please?! But could use some TLC in the realms of operability and organization. I love that we can highlight verses and get suggestions for cross-references, sermons!, and more! Sometimes sermons will glitch and not show me the time I’ve spent listening. So, whenever someone calls, I lose my place. The navigation from the top bar is incredibly responsive and useful! The bible itself glitches so the top bar will disappear, sometimes. The search feature lets me find verses that contain certain words... The search feature is nice, but I will still need to use the internet so I can find the verses to some translations. So, overall, this is a powerful and FREE resource to Thank God for! The features are aplenty and impressive! There are some kinks in operation, however.

Daily devotional

This app is something that a follower of Christ needs daily . To be emerged in God’s Word . To have the relationship with our Lord and and Savior Jesus Christ. If we say we are following Christ but look like the world our words are false and without Life . We need to have a full understanding of God’s Word or the World will give you their view , even if God’s Word . You need to have Devotions like this to lead a Family , to understand God’s Word to Share the love of God and his Gift of Salvation. To love your wife and to be the Spiritual Leader of your Family. To equip your young men and to equip your young women . I can go on and on with why this is a Godly study app that will draw you closer to God daily , but you need to view and use it to see the Power of this app of God’s Word and the tools you need to fight the Struggles of Sin on our Journey Home . I pray for all that read this , you will be drawn to the Word of God and all of his Glory by Reading and Sharing his word . Have a Blessed Day.

Thank you sir

Many thanks for illuminating much of God’s Word to a person who spends much of the time in a wheelchair. My family’s background was Catholicsm Pentecostal charismatic…so much confusion, but now my feet are grounded in Jesus alone and His Word not in religious order of man. On your postings on FB their are many attacks especially professing christian’s on you. Satan is battling you with everything he has to sideline you. I’m praying for you your family and your church that you stand firm like Paul did not giving an inch of God’s Truth.How grateful I am for many great men you have taught like Ray Comfort Justin Peters Josh Buice….that have given me understanding of the times and meanings…the picture is well rounded with emphasis on God not on ideas…Anyways see you in Heaven after I see Jesus! And maybe Paul!Nancy

The study Bible is it an incredible tool for studying my Bible throughout the day on my I phone. It’s amazing how many opportunities I have throughout the day with a few minutes here and there to look at my transforming book, the Bible . The small extra price for the MacArthur notes is well worth the price. As I have heard John MacArthur say the scripture it’s not really the scripture unless it’s accurately understood. John MacArthur’s Biblical understanding of the Scriptures is probably the greatest in the history of the church. The audio Bible allows my wife and I to hear the Bible together without wearing out our Aging voices and is pleasant to listen to.Over- all The Study Bible is the greatest tool I’ve ever had to help me look at Christ in the Scriptures and be actively involved in the process of being transformed into His same image from one level of glory to the next.

Good app, except NAS problems

It is great to have a MacArthur Study Bible that I can carry with me wherever I go. The notes are second to none, and the ability to add thoughts of our own that will sync to other devices is magnificent. The only issue is that my preferred translation, the NASB, has some missing words! It’s only a dozen or so verses but makes for awkward reading when you come across them (see Genesis 15:1, where it simply says “After these things do not fear Abram,” with the whole phrase, “the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying” MIA). I’ve been sending emails to support for well over a year, with the developers acknowledging they know if the issue but it still hasn’t been fixed. Fortunately these verses that are missing phrases are obvious since what they leave aren’t even sentences, so even someone reading for the first time will intuitively understand something isn’t right and look it up.
