Mere Bible App Comments & Reviews
Mere Bible Positive Reviews
Focus in a Land of DistractionThe NeuBible app is a refreshing spark of intelligent app design. In a market filled apps that try to deliver bible plans and put layers of decisions between the user and the Word, NeuBible does its best to efficiently bring readers back to the Word. The first screen you are shown is a list of the books of the Bible. This makes it simple to quickly access any reference. Chapter selection is as easy as swiping on the title of the book or swiping to the left from the right while reading and scrolling to your chapter of choice. There is a reasonable selection of popular translations. Though, some do cost money. When you 3D Touch on the app icon you can jump to "Search", "Bookmark", and "Latest Highlight". There are pleasant color, typeface, and visibility options within the app. The latest update introduced true blacks and fixed a cosmetic bugs. The true blacks are stunning..Version: 1.2.5
Good app - Search function could be betterThis is a great app and it’s completely worth the money. I give it four stars because the search function is very frustrating. For instance if you barely remember a verse and want to find it you need to know the full exact word in it. For instance, if you are trying to find Mt 19:12 but don’t remember the book/chapter of it but you do remember Jesus mentioning the word eunuch in that verse, the search function won’t return that verse if you search “eunuch.” He says “eunuchs” (going off KJV) so you have to search that to find it. The search feature also deletes your search term after you select a verse to look at. If you realize it’s not the verse you were thinking of, you have to go back and type it again. This makes it really frustrating to do any kind of serious study in the app other than simple reading. With a really simple fix to the search bar, this app could work great as a concordance. I’d pay double for it if it actually did that. Another note - I saw a typo when reading the ESV in Jeremiah (possibly it was in Job). I forget where exactly but it was obviously wrong as in there was a space missing between two words. I checked my paper ESV and it had it right. This severely undermined my faith in this app - I want to know that what I’m reading is really accurate and not cross check everything that looks strange! I have not seen anything wrong in the KJV however..Version: 1.2.4
The best bible *reading* experience anywhereNeuBible is the bomb. Best bible reading experience anywhere. Actually, best pure READING experience anywhere (focused, uncluttered, AMAZING typography), killer intuitive navigation, not bloated with “features," etc. When I say “best reading experience”, I mean of *any* app, not just Bible apps. Kindle, iBooks, e-readers should take notes. My two main suggestions: it would be basically perfect (for me) if it had a way to take notes (supposedly they have ideas for this...) and had a way to track reading plans (like He Reads Truth, which has a great reading plan feature, but an otherwise awful reading experience). I have this general dislike for most “Christian” products, because they’re so often crappy rip-offs or very poorly executed, but NeuBible is what a “Christian” app *should* be: best in class to reflect the creativity & inspiration God gives us..Version: 1.2.1
Gorgeous, thoughtful Bible reading experienceI remember when I found out about new NeuBible on Twitter, former Twitter employee leading a team of developers focused on bringing a beautiful smooth Bible reading experience to iOS. Not that the Bible needed anything on top of what it was, but that it deserved the respect of a great and thoughtful design in the modern smart phone era. I bought the app the day that it came out (this was back when it was a paid app), and I beta tested the iPad app as well. It is my absolute favorite Bible app, and I recommend it to everyone who asks me what Bible app I use. I'm thrilled to support the team of developers who wants to provide a great experience to the Christian community, and sees the value in creating a great Bible reading experience for my iPad and iPhone. Thank you guys so much for the hard work!.Version: 1.2.1
Beautiful, Clean, SimpleIt is tragic how neglected this app is despite being (easily) the best Bible reading experience out there. It’s so clean, the text legible and a delight to the eyes, the browsing experience between books and chapters feel like a real physical Bible by having you finger through them. Really, it’s undefeated in the reading experience and I’ve tried all the popular apps from youversion to olive tree to catena to dwell. Neu Bible is the peak (for reading). Unfortunately, last update was 10 months ago as of writing this and to this day after years, we still don’t have access to the deuterocanon/apocrypha (despite Dwell adding them in even with audio), and the default translation is not even used anymore in the real world (HCSB became the now better CSB). We don’t need constant updates, but at least offer some feature parity with Dwell, please..Version: 2.0.5
AwesomeThis is an absolutely incredible bible reading app. I especially like the formatting after pasting an item that you've copied, which includes the translation name in a very clean way. However, after the most recent update I have completely stopped using it. Initially I loved the speed; I was able to highlight, copy and paste with no delay, but now after the update it takes about 7-10 seconds for the highlight feature to work, therefore much of what I loved about it has been rendered impractical. I pray your team will get this app back up to speed; I'll be using it again immediately once the issues are taken care of. Thank you for your work, God bless..Version: 1.2.1
Best Bible AppI have been using the Nuebible app for about 4 years and it is intuitive, easy to use, and there is not a whole lot of extras that get in the way of reading. Some other bible apps add a lot of extra features that slow down their app or cause their app to crash from time to time but not Nuebible. I love the interface of the app the way it works so smoothly and it has always worked for me perfectly. I would recommend Nuebible to anyone who wants to enjoy reading the Bible on their iPhone. It is the best reading experience is the best I’ve found on any reading app. Well worth the purchase and it is one that will last for years to come!.Version: 1.2.5
Great User Experience, Missing ONE thing.I love using this app. I find it has the most intuitive, gorgeous, and fast interface of all the Bible apps I’ve used—I’ve tried quite a few of them, most I dislike. I quite like that you can toggle red letters and verse numbers (especially useful in reading and understanding the flow of Old Testament passages). My one complaint is that this app does not allow split screen mode for the iPad. Often I want to read an entire book through once, and then go back and make notes about what I’m reading, and its useful to have the biblical text to the left or right of the notes I’m taking. If this feature was added to the App it would be the ultimate bible app, in my opinion..Version: 1.2.4
My New Default Bible App for phone and iPad!They weren’t kidding when they said this app was “thoughtfully” designed. I love every feature about it! The text is elegant and draws me in. I want to read my Bible digitally the same way I do with my print Bible and this app makes it possible. This beats the ESV Bible app because this offers more than one translation which I appreciate. I love being able to read God’s word without all the clutter of most Bible apps. I mean, I’m thankful that YouVersion makes it so easy to share God’s word, it is just too busy. This app is simple, elegant, and efficient. My new favorite next to Logos!.Version: 1.2.5
Best Bible App TodayThis provides the best reading experience for scripture on any iOS device, and it’s not even close. With all of the attention to detail, you can find yourself reading more than what you initially planned to which is a great thing. The only thing that’s missing, and for me it’s a huge miss, is the lack of support for multitasking. It’s been available since iOS 9, and with an app that’s cleverly designed such as this, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Unfortunately, my number one use case for a Bible app is to take notes in church with scripture open on my iPad, and that’s not possible with this app. It’s for full screen or nothing. Nevertheless, the developers should be proud for making a great app..Version: 1.2.5
Beautiful but needs landscape modeThis app is gorgeous. The design is very well-crafted, and it's a very simple and minimal reading experience. The navigation and features are well thought out. The only thing it lacks is a landscape mode. Although the typography is optimized, it still isn't ideal on such a small screen in portrait mode. The character per line count is on the low side. If there was a landscape mode this would be more ideal. In any case, it is still possibly the nicest looking, fastest loading, most enjoyable read of the Bible on the iPhone in portrait mode. While I think the developers deserve their pay, there are other apps that offer the ESV translation for free, even if only available used online. I realize there are licensing and royalties to account for, but something like two or three dollars would be more reasonable for additional translations. I'd buy a few, whereas I'm reluctant to buy one for the price i paid for my compact ESV physical book, new in store. If there was a landscape mode that read just as nicely I might not be so reluctant..Version: 1.2.1
Beautifully crafted interfaceI found this after growing weary of bugs and bloat in the app I previously used as it has increasingly focused on becoming a social media platform. The interface is lovely and intuitive and I appreciate a distraction free alternative. My only concern would be sustainability and updates going forward. I would be willing to pay for upgrades as this certainly feels like a premium option. Thanks for an excellent app. Wish list item would be an ESV audio reading option….Version: 1.2.5
Very BeautifulIt's time to fix the search! I enter a part of a verse that I'm looking for, and all the matches pop up with a small section of the verse. I click on one to see it, but it's not what I'm looking for. So then I have to start my search all over again! Kind of frustrating! I also feel like the night mode needs a lot of refinement. The background needs to be MUCH darker. It looks pretty weird and hard to read when I read it at night before falling asleep. I’m sure this would be even more of an issue on the iPhone X..Version: 1.2.4
FantasticThis is worth every penny to me. The Bible is so powerful, and these folks display that without getting a bunch of menus and fluff in the way. I removed my 600$ Logos library for the simplicity of this app. (I’m a BA In Theo, but this is where I am at now- the simplicity of the word- no verse markers, just one unified story). For being such a “proprietary app guy”, this is one “aftermarket” app from an indie developer team that I have the pleasure to support and be blessed by. I wholeheartedly recommended all to download if you share sentiments similar to mine, because I read the Bible more because of this app..Version: 1.2.5
This is the Bible app I’ve been looking forMy criticism of many printed Bibles is that they are designed to be study guides rather being designed for reading and absorbing the text. When it comes to Bible apps, some of them have gotten close to what I wanted by letting me disable much of the cruft, but none of them let me just focus on the text like this one does. I’ve found my new preferred app for reading the most important writing there is. Thanks for the good work. And thanks for making it paid so I can help support your efforts..Version: 1.2.3
Good with some flawsI have several Bible apps, and for me, this is tied with Crossways ESV for the best. But my biggest wish/complaint is that the app would allow scrolling without the pause/stops between chapters and books. Smooth continuous scrolling. Also, an option to just start where I last left off without asking every time would be nice. There might be a couple other minor bugs or things here and there they could optimize, and lately the app has been frequently crashing, but otherwise a good effort..Version: 2.0.2
Simple and wonderfulFound this through the Dwell app (well, upon looking up recent news about the Dwell bible app). I love that you can hide the verse numbers and just how beautiful everything is. I hope the partnership/acquisition from Dwell will be fruitful for this app (and the Dwell app) however that pairing will work. Thanks for a great app. Might I suggest putting a “tip” button on the menu so we can send some extra money to the creators - $1.99 feels like a steal for such an app. 10/10.Version: 1.2.5
Hope for Multitasking SupportThis application is by far my most used, and my favorite for my iPad Pro. If I'm at church, in bed, or just taking a slow moment throughout the work day, this is my go to. My only request is to enable multitasking. I'd love to have this open next to a commentary I have on kindle, or multitask with GoodNotes and my Apple Pencil to do a more intense study. Please consider this! Thank you for your faithfulness in creating this!.Version: 1.2.5
A Beautiful Bible Reading Experience but....First, let me state the design, layout, and user experience of this app is by far the best of any Bible app I have used. For that, the app is definitely worth the money. However, in an age where the Bible is free online it’s kind of ridiculous to charge an extra $5 to $10 for all of the most common versions of the Bible after we’ve already paid for the app (which doesn’t offer any study notes or plans). Would easily give 5 stars if each version of the Bible was free and they still charged for the app. But for now, it’s difficult to recommend..Version: 1.2.5
First App everBeautifully designed app. No question about it. Finally what Christians have been waiting for. It’s sad that out of the billions of apps out there we had to wait this long to get an elegant app just to read the Bible. Thank you guys. Downgraded 1 star because we have to pay again for the popular versions and the font sizes could be made bigger. The ones they have are small, even the largest font size. Otherwise it’s beautifully designed. Even the option to switch between chapters or books..Version: 1.2.5
Thoughtfully designed, beautifully craftedI love this Bible app for its focus and attention to detail. Easy to use. Comfortable to read. The one feature I’d enjoy seeing is additional ways of viewing highlighted verses. The single, long, chronological list of verses isn’t all that helpful. It is difficult to find any specific highlighted verse. A higher level view grouping them by date or book could prove useful..Version: 1.2.4
Great App! But it worked better before the update.I love this Bible app, but the last update really broke the app layout on iPad when using Stage Manager. The last update was supposed to modernize the app for new OS versions but the old App worked better on modern iPadOS. I still love the app and will still rate it 5 stars any day, but we need a fix so it plays nice with Stage Manager!.Version: 2.0.2
Opens to reading with less distractionsSo glad I don’t have to switch tabs in toolbar to start reading. Please consider: Completely black background for night mode On iPhone X, black background used less energy and the black around the screen becomes the margin; given this, please also allow for near 0px margin onscreen. More text would make this even better..Version: 1.2.4
Beautiful and thoughtful(Late) November 2017 Update: iPhone X support asked for, and received! Thanks to the great developers. November 2017 Update: very pleased with the iPad functionality. Thanks! Hoping for iPhone X screen formatting soon. My new bible. Level of polish is on par with iBooks. Fit and finish is first-rate. Plenty of versions available, reasonably priced as in-app purchases. Looking forward to the universal version for iPad compatibility..Version: 1.2.2
Simple, elegant, easy to useThis is almost everything I would want in a Bible app. Clean, elegant design. Simple, intuitive use. No extras, like daily verse or ads of any kind. (I realize some will want audio bibles, devotions, etc. Totally fair. But for me, those are unnecessary and clutter up the app.) The only downside is the limited versions available..Version: 1.2.5
Slow after updateThis was a very nice app that I used daily. Unfortunately after the update, it takes close to a minute to load when the app is opened, and about 20 seconds to highlight or bookmark a passage. This makes it nearly unusable, which is a shame because it was previously the best of its kind. I'm running iOS 8 on an iPhone 5, so maybe not a typical user. But it would be nice if I don't have to look for another Bible app and lose all my highlighted passages..Version: 1.2.1
Nearly Perfect, but Jarring Scrolling BehaviorWhile scrolling near the end of a chapter, going just a couple pixels too far will instantly "jump" to the next chapter. When this happens, I have to go back a chapter and then find my place again. Please look into this. Infinite scrolling would be one solution, while another option might be making the chapter switch less sensitive..Version: 1.2.5
Beautiful app! Please support Catholics!NeuBible is an absolutely beautiful app that provides the best scripture reading experience available on iOS. The design is carefully considered, the typography is stunning, and the interface is uncluttered. The only issue that prevents me from giving a perfect 5-star rating is that it doesn’t offer complete support for Catholics. The deuterocanonical books (e.g. Tobit, Wisdom) are not included, and none of the translations approved for Catholics (e.g. NRSV, NABRE) are currently available..Version: 1.2.4
Oh Wow!If I write a review at all, it's usually after weeks of playing with an application. In this case it is within minutes of downloading it. Talk about a beautiful reading experience and an extremely well thought out UI; these guys nailed it. The highlighting is simple, not painful. So easy to skip between chapters. I am using it on my iPad Pro and it is simply a delight..Version: 1.2.1
Beautiful and Thoughtful.I love the design and overall feel of the app. It makes a perfect environment to read the Scriptures. Features are well thought and it's simply beautiful. Big shout out to the entire team for a job well done! Would love to see a chronological reading plan somehow fit into the options. This is my go to Bible right now..Version: 1.2.1
ExpensiveBeautiful App. Best looking one out there. That said, I found the hidden charge for the more common and used versions a bit deceptive. Both NIV and New King James will cost you 9.99. That can add up in a hurry. If you just need one version to read your bible from then it is probably worth it for the clean functionality of it. But studying from multiple translations will cost you and there are only a few. Message is not available yet..Version: 1.2.3
A truly beautiful app for reading your BibleMakes reading the Bible simple, fluid, and intuitive. I use it everyday and am happy to be able customise it to my liking. Bookmarks/highlights are saved right on the main page for easy access. Fonts are not only easy to read but well selected. A wonderful, wonderful app!.Version: 1.2.4
Best app by FAR … but neglectedThis is by far the best Bible app and perhaps reading app of any type on the Apple Store. I had high hopes that with dwell purchasing it, they would make improvements. The great thing about this app is how simple it is so I don’t want a ton of features. Mostly it would just be nice to have additional translations available and a little more control over highlights and notetaking..Version: 2.0.5
Truly a giftThis is such a gem. Easy to read, navigate and keep me in the word. I’ve gave up on the big Bible apps, yes they have everything but I get lost in navigation and offers to add another reference and then forget what I came for; God’s word. Thank you for your wonderful app and diligence..Version: 1.2.5
Do somethingHi Dwell team. The makers of Neu Bible built this app with vision and love. They sold it (I presume) to Dwell in good faith that you would do right by both it and its user base. Yet all that’s been happening- when anything happens- is bug fixes. The iPad version remains broken and unusable. The iPhone version locks up and navigation freezes. Neu Bible has been my go-to iOS Bible for more than a decade. It’s heartbreaking to see it fall into neglect..Version: 2.0.5
Quickly became my favorite!There was no single "killer feature" that made NeuBible replace the ESV app for me, but rather dozens of little refinements. The app itself vanishes, leaving me to effortlessly delight in God's Word. I would certainly appreciate the addition of notes and a URL scheme, but there is so much beauty here that it still gets five stars from me..Version: 1.2.1
Still the bestI’ve used this app for years, still can’t any other that’s even close to how thoughtful, considered, intuitive, and elegant the design and experience of this app. Wish more folks knew of it..Version: 1.2.5
Still the best, but needs additional translationsStill my preferred Bible app. And I had high hopes when Dwell took over that they would put some effort into the app. Unfortunately that hasn’t been the case, yet I’m still also hoping for some additional translations, specifically NLT.Version: 2.0.5
Clean and simple. ElegantI have used a number of Bible apps and most are laid out pretty clunky or overly complicated. No I don't know why either? This one was the first which was really designed well for a smart phone. I see others are now imitating it too..Version: 1.2.1
I used to be a huge fan and promoted this app to all my friendsI still love it and it’s my Bible app of choice but I can only give 3 stars as the ability to share multiple verses by tapping and dragging to select no longer works. It seems an unfortunate update came along and now I can only copy single verses at a time. Massive L..Version: 2.0.5
The most enjoyable Bible reading experience on iPhone, hands downA top 5 favorite app of all time. so simple, elegant, and useful. a bit pricey once you purchase it and esv (for me) but worth every penny. thank you..Version: 2.0.2
BookmarkingPlease add the ability to bookmark multiple chapters instead of the most recent thing kicking out the previous one. The Bible is used as a reference, not read from begging to end like a novel. So being able to mark multiple chapters or verses (and label them) would be helpful. Thanks..Version: 1.2.1
A Pleasure to ReadHave loved for a long time. Latest update fixing merged words has made it even better. One request. Option to turn on/off super dark mode. Latest version is simply too dark; contrast hurts my eyes. The old contrast was much better for long form reading. Thanks, guys!.Version: 1.2.5
IncredibleDefinitely the best you will find. I'm so tired of all the other Bible apps and their social functions that bombard you when you open them (looking at you, YouV...ion). You won't be disappointed by this clean, fast, text-focused Bible app. Download it now!.Version: 1.2.3
2018 iPad Pro IssueApps on the home button-less iPads should have no concept of orientation. All built-in apps work in any of the 4 orientations. NeuBible does not work in the “camera-down” orientation. I often have no idea which direction I am holding my iPad, but when I launch this app, I then most physically rotate the device in order to use the app..Version: 1.2.5
Simple, Beautiful.I've been using NeuBible for over a year now, and it's the best bible experience I've found. Simple to navigate and easy to read, it's well worth your money..Version: 1.2.1
Broken on iOS 12New update seems to have broken it on my iPad mini2 and iPhone 6 on latest updates. Great while it lasted..Version: 2.0.2
Would be nice to have labelsFor the highlights and bookmarks. Would also be nice to change highlight colours..Version: 1.2.5
Split screen?I’d really like to see split screen support for iPad. Otherwise awesome app. Thank you so much!.Version: 1.2.4
Simply the best bible app!The user experience is phenomenal... effectively strips away distraction leaving just you and God's word ... the way it should be..Version: 1.2.1
Beautiful Bible App Keeps Getting BetterFirst, thank you to the developers for creating this app and actively developing it. This by far the best Bible app I've come across that balances speed with functionality. Many of the other apps I've tried are loaded with features but in exchange sacrifice speed. NueBible launches in 2 seconds. Possible improvements: + Better navigation for Psalms from book selector + Fuzzy cross-version searching (Ex. Search "I am way truth" for John 14:6) + Improved search term highlighting in search results + Topic search + Better timeline management.Version: 1.2.1
Beautiful ExperienceI love this app! I've read more of the Bible because of it. However, as a Catholic, I'd really like to see a translation with all 73 books made available. Thanks and God bless!.Version: 1.2.1
Great app but really slowLove the app but right after the update the app runs painfully slow. If only I could revert that..Version: 1.2.1
Sleek, beautiful, customisable.I love this app! While other Bible apps are littered with adverts and other nonsense, Neubible is sharp and clean. The display is also fully customisable. The search function is a bit rudimentary, but it does its job. My biggest complaint is the total absence of the deuterocanonical books. Even the KJV has been divested of its Apocrypha..Version: 1.2.1
BeautifulMy favourite bible app. If you are looking for a back-to-the-basic, functional, beautiful bible get this..Version: 1.1.2
Beautiful app but needs a notes sectionWould love to jot down small bits of notes with highlighted verses. Otherwise it's easy to read and navigate.Version: 1.1.2
Great design honours God's wordThe app is a thing of beauty that fades into nothing as you find yourself getting immersed in Jesus' amazing teaching, the prophets, psalms and proverbs. Simple, clean. It was worth the money I spent and am glad the app makers now can offer this great app for free. God bless you as you seek him, study his word and live a life of love..Version: 1.1.0
Started great. Now even better!Adding bookmarks seems like a good idea. And it is. Plus they did it in a way you don't even have to remember..Version: 1.0.1
Have to say...Disappointed that the app went free with no recognition of people who paid for the app..Version: 1.1.0
Highly Recommend This Bible AppI have four (now five) bible apps on my phone and Neubible is a welcome addition. I LOVE how intuitive it is to use and especially how well the search feature works. Can't wait to download the ESV when it is available..Version: 1.0.0
A wonderful delightSo carefully crafted. So elegant. So stunning. One of the most beautiful apps I've seen, period. If you read the bible, this is the way to do it..Version: 1.0.0
Very user friendly, other translations?Like the app and the simplicity. Are there any plans to add other translations? NIV, ESV?.Version: 1.0.0
