The Study Bible Positive Reviews

Best Bible app out thereI 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..Version: 2.0.3

Great app, great resources, but many glitchesCurrently a simple review, but the app is truly a full Bible with intuitive to use, study resources of many sources from Grace to You. It’s great that you can find the notes for all of the chapter, or individual verses, as well as verses related and cross-references. And over-all, it’s easy to find the things you are looking for in the app, and the notes and highlighting features are cool (though I’ve read there seems to be some glitches with the highlighting features). My only and greatest issue is the fact that the app has too many glitches which make the experience not impossible, but slow and poor in many cases. The arrow on the top left from commentaries doesn’t seem to work most of the time, and the app itself is not formatted in a way that fits correctly with my Iphone 14 Pro, but rather there are parts that are cut by the corners or the island at the top of the screen, which may seem more of a simple “aesthetic” issue, but I find that this issue is a little distracting, especially when I’m scrolling through the Bible and the names of the books are literally covered by the dynamic island of the phone🤣. Please consider coming back to the app and fixing it up, it would be greatly beneficial to the app and to those using it. But nonetheless, the essence of what it does is very much there, so I can’t at all say I don’t recommend it. I would simply note that the user experience is a little finicky due to the glitches..Version: 2.0.8

Some continual glitches that could be easily remediedAs 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..Version: 2.0.2

Daily devotionalThis 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..Version: 2.0.8

Phenomenal depth and cross referenceI 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!.Version: 2.0.8

Love this Bible study appI 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..Version: 1.6.15

Scott TThe 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..Version: 2.0.8

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!.Version: 2.0.7

Good app, except NAS problemsIt 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..Version: 1.6.15

Love the app, but…I like this Bible app because I can highlight in different colors, make notes, and it is easy to read. I have had it for a while now. Lately, however, the app has been freezing in which I can’t even scroll up and down for a few seconds. Then when the app unfreezes, it goes to Revelation 22 out of nowhere. Luckily when this happens, I have learned to keep track of where I’m reading so I can go back to where I was before it defaulted to Revelation 22. Also, when I do highlight, some of the highlights disappear. For example, if I want to highlight a verse in a chapter, I can’t highlight another verse in the same chapter. It’s as if I am only allowed to highlight 1 verse per chapter, whereas before I could highlight more than 1 verse in the same chapter. Can these bugs get fixed please?.Version: 2.0.8

Amazing app! A must have!!I love this application sooooo very much! I am truly, truly thankful for the expositional preaching by my favorite modern-day hero of the faith, Dr. John Macarthur ! I’m also so very thankful for his wife, his ministry, and for every person who made it possible for his teachings to reach someone like me who was once further from God that anyone I’ve ever met! Most importany, I am ever-so grateful for the work of God in the life of JMac, to empower him by the will of the Holy Spirit, to make his life so useful in growing towards our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! This app is a MUST have ! and the BEST part of it is that you can take your Bible with you along with ALL of Dr. John MacArthur’s commentaries with you! May God bless you and cause you to hunger desperately for His Righteousness and thirst eagerly for His Truth! Grace, love, and peace to you all!!.Version: 2.0.6

JMac is a great theologian and resourceThis app has everything. You can read and listen to the Bible in several translations. There are links to JMac’s sermons as well as many different kinds of resources to include articles, maps, charts, etc. There are four different daily devotionals. When you read them they get a checkmark and you can even set an alarm to remind yourself. You can add your own notes to verses. You can read the study notes from his study Bible. Whenever a verse is mentioned in any of the resources you can click on the link and it will take you to that verse in the Bible and then you can easily go back to where you were. I cannot recommend this enough. I have never had any sort of technical issue with the app..Version: 2.0.3

This is the best Bible app! I use it daily!The app has so many features that are helpful in my study and understanding of God’s Word! Every book and chapter has an introduction that gives you an in depth overview and this in itself could be used as a guide to your study. It’s easy to click on a verse to see study notes about it. From there you can click other verses referenced. You can bookmark, highlight, copy and share. I paid the very small fee to upgrade to extra resources. It is well worth it. You can listen to, read, or print sermons, Q&A’s or blogs relating to the passage. You can choose between NASB or ESV. I don’t need another app now. This is it! I’m most grateful this resource is available!.Version: 2.0.8

A bit clunkyI have the MacArthur Study Bible, so I downloaded this app to be a companion to the Bible itself. It’s nice having all of this at my fingertips when my Bible isn’t handy. But the app is a bit clunky to use. The biggest frustration at the moment is the constant freezing and jumping to the book of Revelation. I thought this was just me, but I’m seeing others mention the same issue. I’ve also found that the app isn’t quite as responsive to touch as it should be. Some icons take several attempts to get them to work. This was the only place to identify issues. Neither the Grace to You website nor the app support page have a method for submitting feedback. I’m hoping one of the developers is watching the feedback and including bug fixes in the next version..Version: 2.0.8

Audio & text/Unable to purchase in-appA couple things that would be nice: when the audio is “reading” it would be great if the page keeps up so I’m not manually scrolling along. And when pausing the audio, it starts over instead of picking up where it was paused at. Second thing: I was finally going to purchase but am unable to from within the app. After clicking to buy a message pops up saying you’re unable to purchase from in-app, I click “ok” and an error message follows saying it’s unable to complete the transaction, and I can only press “ok”. So I’m hoping I’m not charged multiple charges because I tried it a couple times thinking it was a fluke, also, I’m disappointed I can’t buy the extra features. Other than those two things I’m enjoying the app so far. Thank you!.Version: 2.0.7

A Huge blessingThe ministry of John MacArthur has been a blessing in my life. My love for the Word of God has put me in a journey of reading and studying the Bible. Since I found John's Study Bible, Bible Commentaries and many books on different topics, my understanding has increased significantly. I can't thank John MacArthur enough for his love, dedication and hard work to explain the Word of God, "one verse at a time". It has been priceless for my Christian life. It has helped me enormously to share the Bible with my wife's prayer group, even though there are Christians and Catholics. The Lord has converted several souls to Christ there. I listen to him on radio, via internet, where I live in Colombia, South America; have the Study Bible, Study Bible App, Grace to You App, Bible Commentaries, books, Pastors Conferences, etc. You name it! John MAcArthur became my Bible teacher. Thanks to all the resources his ministry has made available in so many formats, I believe has made me a better and more knowledgeable Christian. The best part is having the opportunity to pass it on to other who also seek Christ. God bless Grace to You, God bless John MacArthur. Thank you.Version: 1.6.14

Needs update, now!I talked to the help center and it seems that now the screen can turn and so that now I can click and change the book! Yey! I just use this as an audio Bible. ———— I used this app all the time to listen to the Bible, I wish there was NIV but it’s OK, I like the voices. HOWEVER, I got a new iPhone and now the top bar on the app is behind the black strip where I talk on the phone and see my battery life etc. It is SO hard to change books and navigate the app now, I didn’t realize how good I had it. PLEASE PLEASE UPDATE!! PLEASE LOWER THE TOP OPTION BAR. I cannot click it and navigate through the Bible. So basically, I can barely use the app anymore ):.Version: 2.0.8

Awesome appThis is an awesome app, I am learning so much. If I may offer a suggestion, I would like to be able to read the scriptures it suggests I read by clicking on the Book, chapter and verse. In other words, under daily reading it suggests you read 1 Kings 2:1, I have to leave the daily reading page to go read it and then come back to the daily reading page. It would be awesome if everywhere in the app a book of the Bible is mentioned with chapter and verse I could just click right there on it and read it instead of having to leave the page I am on and going back to that page after reading the Bible part. I hope this makes sense..Version: 2.0.0

Disappearing text and highlightsI have been adding notes to verses in the book of John. For some reason, when I do this, the scripture will disappear from the rest of the text. It’s still there, but the space is blank. If I tap onto the blank space, the text will show up on the notes page, only. Also, whenever I highlight a text, and then skip down several verses in the same book or chapter, and highlight something else, the first highlight will disappear. Other than that, I love this Bible app and John MacArthur’s notes. Thank you for your attention to this matter. God Bless!.Version: 2.0.8

Glitchy for anyone else?I don’t know what happened but initially this app was AMAZING. Now it’s so glitchy for me :( When I’m in reading the notes for the chapter, I can’t use the arrow in the upper left to go back. None of the links work when I click them for cross referencing. It just highlights the text for me to copy/paste or something but it won’t take me to the different part of the Bible verses. and I have to scroll to the chapter ahead to read the notes for the previous chapter. Ie: if I want to read notes for Matthew 3, I have to basically be at the start of Matthew 4 and it’ll show me Matthew 3 notes. I have to exit out of the app and reopen it several times. I’m so disappointed. It’s really frustrating. Is it just my phone??.Version: 2.0.8

An Awesome Blessing!!!This Bible Study App is by far the best resource I have seen! John MacArthur explains the meaning of passages here, which is personally what I was so desiring to understand! Additionally, he has included with the defined passages, related resources including: Sermons (available in audio, video, and/or article format), Articles, Blog, Q&A!! As well, there are 3 choices of Bible Versions available (ESV, NASB, KJV). FYI: if you need explanation of which version to use, there is a article by John MacArthur explaining about the different Bible Versions; the article is called “What Bible translation is best?”. He simply gives the “facts”, rather than his “opinion”, behind each version. Another wonderful resource is the “Grace to You” App! I personally so enjoy John MacArthur’s teaching style. By going verse by verse, he teaches the facts which I believe allows the Holy Spirit to work in individuals hearts how only God knows them!! As well as being thankful to God, I am grateful to you, Pastor John MacArthur, for all the resources you have made available!!! Sincerely, Mrs. S. Apicella.Version: 1.6.17

Grace To You is an amazing Source Of The WordI can’t say enough amazing things about this app and the grace to you app I also want to let anyone who uses this app to know that they can download the grace to you app and you can get sent a plethora of free books written by Dr. John MacArthur including his study Bible which is priceless in the Factive being able to explain the word of God and away that everyone can understand God is truly alive and speaks through this incredible Man and I just want to thank our Lord and Savior for picking such a God fearing and loving individual to draw each and everyone of us closer two Jesus!!!.Version: 2.0.8

I so wanted to give 5 starsI so wanted to give 5 stars but the constant need to scroll up and down to find the chapter you need is ridiculous. I much prefer how Olive Tree puts only one chapter on a page and makes you scroll to the right or left to get to another chapter. Also, it would be a welcomed addition if you could choose what verse you want to go to instead of just the chapter. I still use this Bible as I love everything else about it, but still... It doesn’t get updated much and hasn’t been in 5 months. Not that it needs to be updated all the time, but software evolves (Scripture doesn’t) and this needs to keep up or people are going to look elsewhere..Version: 2.0.7

Great Wisdom and TruthGravy To You, Grace Church and Pastor John MacArthur have provided a great resource that encourages me and has helped me draw closer to Christ our Lord. This Study Bible app is full of God’s Truth and Wisdom that helps me Worship God The Father because of Christ’s Sacrifice through the Holy Spirit. The only thing I would suggest the creators of this app is if possible please allow the ability to highlight individual words instead of highlighting only a sentence. This app is built, programmed to work very well and has helped me understand God’s word because of MacArthur’s commentaries and sermons that are built into the paid version. Thank You!!.Version: 2.0.8

ThankfulnessDeeply appreciate the willingness of Grace to You to provide us with a way to have the Study Bible with us wherever we go. The app is still in process and each update provides more helps for Bible reading & Bible study. Definitely recommend this app to any true believer & follower of Jesus Christ. Update: If this app were a printed Bible it would be worn, frayed, pages no longer attached to the binding, cover faded, etc. This is the Bible app that gets the most use on my iPhone. Thank you Grace to You! Please continue to provide us with the privilege of using this app for many more years!!!.Version: 1.6.17

Using your Bible appI find using the app helpful in getting to scripture faster than actually using a physical Bible, but I haven’t quite mastered the ability to bring up the search magnifying glass easily to look up another scripture after the scripture I just looked up. I end up doing a lot of finger gymnastics in an attempt to bring up the search feature. I just don’t know how it actually works and sometimes it takes me quite a while before I somehow finally manage to get it to show up for me. It’s very frustrating for this older person who is not very technically inclined..Version: 2.0.8

Just okayI love John McArthur but I had much higher expectations and am disappointed in this app. Whenever clicking a passage to view notes then returning to reading the Bible, it always goes to either the beginning of the chapter or 5 verses behind the verse I clicked on. Also, when I click on a foot note it’s nearly impossible to see the letter that is associated with corresponding verses when in dark mode. So I don’t know if the verses are for foot note a, b, or c. Lastly, I thought there would be much more notes of verses and difficult to understand passages. Overall disappointed but still use it for the little bits of insight given from McArthur..Version: 2.0.8

Highlight issue.I love this app. Thank you for fixing the bug, with highlights. It was such a quick response. Thank you all for being on top of everything. God bless you all at support. I feel like I can now personalize my Bible app. What more is there to say? I’m well please with the app. Worth every penny, and some. Thank you, and God bless all those that reads this. I hope upon reading this, you will be moved to purchase just like I did. That’s the real blessing. You are not just purchasing an app. You are investing in yourself, while donating to a cause. Blessings..Version: 2.0.7

Wonderful BibleI cannot say enough about this study app. Knowing and understanding the Word of God is so important. It is helpful to have a commentary to help explain certain passages. The only reason that I give this app. Four stars is because I find it very difficult to distinguish the numbers of each verse. There are so many reference numbers that I have difficulty determining the verse number. I wish the verse number was in bold to really make it stick out. I still love this Bible app and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a solid commentary..Version: 1.6.15

Study BibleUPDATE: When opening the footnotes, if you in the last few verses of the chapter, when finished to go back to the Bible, it always defaults back to verse 1 then you have to scroll back to the verses you were reading. Pleasant fix this and the continuous scroll as below. Thank you While the Bible is being narrated, it would be nice if the section that was being read was highlighted and the narrator’s reading was continuous scroll. I like to make notes as it’s being read and I loose my place. I know I could pause, but don’t always have to..Version: 2.0.8

Excellent Resource, Highly recommendedI have been using this app for years. When I had droid, I used it as well. Now that I am back on the iOS I noticed they have made some wonderful improvements. The app itself is free and the free option has access to some of Dr. MacArthur’s notes. However, when you do have the $8, I highly recommend doling it out for the extra resources. It is DEFINITELY worth every dollar. I love that once logged in, whatever notes or highlights I have marked transfer over to other devices and I can pick up where I left off. I also like the audio option which has been very helpful for when I am driving long-distance. The audio is clear and sharp, too. I like that when I copy-paste verses, it automatically cites the verses for me. In the meantime, I cannot think of any cons. However, I will update my review when I come across them..Version: 1.6.15

Best Bible verse explanations through the bookI have downloaded mini Bibles and read daily. Leave I get the most out of John MacArthur's Study Bible. You can cross reference easily, the definitions and translations easily to help you understand the passage you're reading. I'm so grateful to John MacArthur for compiling this excellent Bible. I trust in his explanations, reputation, theological education etc. I also enjoy his Grace to you app!I thank God forLeading me to this book to help me understand many things that I could not have on my own..Version: 2.0.8

Love this app but one major glitchThis app is my go to when I don’t want to get out my big study Bible. There is only thing that makes it difficult to use. When I am in the study notes and hit the arrow on the top left to return to the passage I am reading, frequently it takes several times of hitting this arrow for it to register and go back to the passage. Sometimes I just can’t get it to trigger and have to get to the passage another way. We tried this on another device (iPad), and it functioned the same way. It would be a 5 star app if this function was fixed!.Version: 2.0.8

Grace to You Bible AppExcellent study bible app, user friendly, too much substance I cannot miss a single day not reading God’s word, it’s exposition and application. I thank God because we have John MacArthur in our generation. His gift of unleashing God’s Word verse by verse, the truth each contains is life changing and me my family are forever grateful. I can’t wait to share my daily devotions to the 1st person I meet everyday be it at my workplace, at the store, on the phone, in my email or wherever. I highly recommend this bible app to all who thirst and hunger for God’s Word. Carmen R..Version: 1.6.15

The app is goodMy problem is it some how was taken off my phone and i put it back on my iPhone will i also have it on my iPad I went into it because my email has changed well it will not let me change it or the password so i can put it back on my phone let tell you something I'm not buying it again it wrong to make something you can not change your email or your password in the first place it was bought off of the App Store what wrong with this picture it's like your scared someone going to steal the Lord word all I know I used this app and can't now that thank you for to much security on a Bible!!!.Version: 2.0.8

Praise GodI am forever thankful for John’s verse by verse teaching. I didn’t know what expositional teaching was for the first 35 years of my Christian life until I heard John on the radio. Now I attend a Bible believing church that teaches all the way through a book keeping everything in it’s original context and I get to follow along in my Bible under my pastors teaching in my MacArthur study Bible (nasb). Thank you for your faithfulness and being steadfast in The Truth of the Word of God. You are truly a blessing to this world and especially my family..Version: 2.0.8

MacArthur Study BibleJohn MacArthur has been an incredible blessing to me, since my first exposure to John’s teaching gift in the 1970’s to this day he has remained true to his calling of teaching the whole counsel of God. His Study Bible app has been my go to resource for my own personal study time, so well designed, it not only gives me all of John’s notes, it also helps me navigate between scriptures with all the cross references and have access to John’s sermons at a click. Thank you Lord for John and for my MacArthur Study Bible app!.Version: 2.0.8

Great appThis bible app is great: it allows many functions able to be done with ease, including highlighting and bookmarking certain chapters of scripture. Along with this, the study notes for $5.99 are totally worth it. 25,000 notes from John MacArthur for this low of a price is exceptional. The only thing that needs to be fixed on IOS systems is that the app does not allow you to scroll down while viewing an individual verse. Sometimes this results on not being able to view MacArthur’s study notes..Version: 2.0.6

Needs updatingThere’s a few glitches that are really frustrating and need updating. One is that if you have the scripture and commentary up and you scroll to a different verse in the scripture, it automatically bumps the commentary back to verse one. So you constantly have to scroll back down to the verses you were at. Also when you highlight its shifts you upward and causes you to lose your original place. The content is awesome but the technical issues are a bit frustrating..Version: 2.0.2

Very nice app but…I really enjoy this app. It has a lot of useful tools packed inside. However, I frequently run into a glitch where the app freezes and when it comes back, the text is now in Revelation. This has been especially frustrating while using the app during church. Another nice feature too add in a future version would be a verse selector rather than just the chapter selector and having to scroll to the verse I am looking for..Version: 2.0.8

Finally!This app is a great way to read those old Testament books that I shyd away from for no reason other than they seemed like they would be to dryer not that important – but since adding the app, I can go through an entire book of the old Testament reading it while I listen to it and get a sense of the context of what God was dealing with in the nation of Israel at that time …and the lessons learned are clear and become more present day applicable to me …thank you and God Bless JMac n GTAy! jp.Version: 2.0.8

Your life depends on it! Get the appRead the word and learn like never before. Pray, read, study and listen! It changed my life. Being a baby Christian and a former Catholic I never experienced how John MacArthur has a love for the word of God, who also brought it to life and helped me understand in a way I never knew before. He explains the word as if to place you in that moment in time, so that you understand the context, the history and the circumstances surrounding the text. What happens next? A transformation in your life, word by word..Version: 2.0.4

Highly recommendPro’s: You can easily move through the different verses, which makes it very simple to select a parallel verse on the topic or verse you are studying. Also, the related resources that feature sermons and articles make it best for in depth study. Con’s: every once in a while the app will freeze for a minute then jump to Genesis 1 or Revelation 22. You can only highlight one verse in a chapter. On occasion the devotionals are not updated to reflect the current day..Version: 2.0.8

I love this app!My only problem with this app is operational. When I click on the Bible icon to read the commentary notes, it takes me way too many times trying to tap the downward arrow in the top left corner to get back to the scripture! I thought it was my phone, but I just got a new one and it does the same thing. I will keep using the app for the great teaching innit, but wish this could get fixed. Anyone else have that problem?.Version: 2.0.8

Love it and love the notes but it’s buggyOften jumps to the last verse in revelation and after a period of time the audio buttons go away so I have to restart audio and then stop it. Also, I like to read it section by section with the notes and the ability to swipe was recently fixed but now I cannot scroll down and so only see a certain amount of the verses and the notes but cannot see everything. I would be happy to partner with the app developers to fix user issues with the app. I use it every day!.Version: 2.0.6

LOVE this appThis is the first “study bible” I’ve gotten (paper or app-wise) and I love it! It’s easy to use and navigate, and has really good commentary, especially for someone like me who just started using a study bible for bible journaling. It is nice to have on your phone while you read a physical Bible and take notes as well. It’s a wonderful addition to any scripture reading and I love that it’s on my phone, easily accessible. It’s a good price & I would pay it over and over again because it’s definitely worth it!!.Version: 2.0.8

GlitchyI noticed that when I open the app and scroll down, it will randomly move back up to whatever verse it was on when I started the app. It makes me lose my place. It does this three times, and I just learned to let it get its glitches out of its system before I can actually use it. This takes like 30 seconds and then I can scroll normally. But it's very inconvenient. Also, I can't always highlight verses. I click highlight and it just doesn't. If these issues ever get fixed, I would say this is an awesome app. The way to look up study notes is great and easy to use..Version: 2.0.3

One of the best bible apps available!I’ve used and tried so many different bible apps and have now gotten rid of almost all of them but this one. First off, I’ve always enjoyed Dr. MacArthur’s insight into the Word of God and to have all of what you’d get from a $50 bible you have for only $6. So the price for the study notes and resources is amazing and worth it!!! Second, I love the ability to listen to sermons and read devotional a and daily reads from MacArthur!!! There is so much material in this app. Third, I love the translations available. You get ESV, NASB, and KJV all available for offline use as well as audio bibles built in. The ability to highlight scriptures and make notes that sync to all my devices is also an awesome bonus. This is is so well thought out and very easy to use. Give it a try and I’m almost certain you won’t regret it!!!.Version: 1.6.15

Great resourceIt’s very helpful to have the study resources alongside the scriptures to help understand every passage you read..Version: 2.0.3

BlessedWhat an excellent app - opens the Word of God to believers and unbelievers alike. Quick and easy to use!.Version: 2.0.3

AppreciationKudos to you pastor John Mac Arthur, awesome job !!!.Version: 2.0.8

Fix this bug pleaseScrolling to close to the edge makes the app freeze for a second and then jump to genesis 1 or revelations 22. Both chapters are great i can decide for myself if i want to go there. this issue has been bugging my for years surely it can be fixed. Thanks.Version: 2.0.8

The bible pure and simpleGrateful for this app. No distractions. It is simply just the word. The resources have been incredibly helpful in my understanding as well as the footnotes included in almost all the verses. It has helped further my knowledge and love for the Word and for God. To Him be the glory. He greatly bless this ministry..Version: 2.0.8

Biblically SoundI thank God for using the Study Bible app for my everyday devotion and resources for our church need. By God’s grace, I’m continuing to learn more biblically sound teachings from our beloved Pastor John MacArthur through this wonderful tool that God has provided..Version: 2.0.8

Study Bible, great toolI have found the bible a useful tool and enjoy the daily devotions and love sharing with others. It is such a blessing to appreciate the accurate expository explanation of God’s Word. The examples are so clear and practical and this is so helpful in an age of the Depraved mind..Version: 2.0.8

Love this app, however highlight ability runs out.I have been using this app for years and I love that I have all of the MacArthur study notes in digital form. However it seems I have reached the max capacity for highlighting text. I highlight a new text and the last thing I highlighted gets un-highlighted, this is frustrating since I use this app as my main Bible. Please fix this..Version: 2.0.8

A life time of MacArthur’s study notes in one placeNot only a lifetime of commentary, but so much more ... sermons, devotionals, etc. Excellent and comprehensive. I also love how clean the design is. For example, the uncluttered full screen view of bible text!.Version: 2.0.8

App is okay, the login system with gty.org is terribleI tried to purchase the study guide from JM and i reset my password with new password for 3 times and it never accept my new password. Tried on gty.org and same. Not good.Version: 2.0.8

Love it!I read it daily and it is awesome..Version: 2.0.8

Woah! Glad this is available for freeI love the Word of God, and I’m a big fan of the ministry of Pastor MaCArthur and Grace to you. Thank you for having this resource available..Version: 2.0.8

Bible AppThoroughly enjoy this app, I used it almost every day side by side with the Books App. Thank you Clifford.Version: 2.0.7

Great app! There is room for improvements thoughIt’s a great study resource. I would appreciate it if it has some basic note taking features such as highlighting, copy and paste, etc..Version: 2.0.7

The bombIf you’re trying to read between the lines of the bible and have that flexibly in your pocket then you can’t live without this app!.Version: 2.0.7

Keeps crashingGreat to have John’s notes while reading but the app keeps crashing and scrolling to either the end or the beginning of the bible. Is there any fix?.Version: 2.0.7

A great simple format!Like how simple the application is and how scripture is shown with nothing else showing..Version: 2.0.5

Love itBest review Bible app.Version: 2.0.2

More Highlighters and markup toolsI love this Bible! I love how you can remove verse numbers and footnotes! However, I would like it if there were more highlighter colours than just yellow. I highlight in my other bible apps every prophecy and every fulfilled prophecy, both in different colours. However, I can’t do that in this app because I don’t have different colours to differentiate them. Please add new highlighter colours and other markup tools..Version: 2.0.4

Daily Bible ReadingsI find it very frustrating that in the Daily Bible Readings section that there is no direct link from the scripture verses to the actual scriptures. This is very counter intuitive and I’m surprised this was missed. It doesn’t make sense to go back and forth from the scripture references to the actual bible and then back again to the scripture reference and then repeat two to three more times. The scripture references should just link to the scripture with a forward button to the next scripture to read. Or You can just layout all the scriptures in order on one page so users can just read it all at once..Version: 2.0.3

Very helpfulI have looked at many bible apps a lot are good, but for me this one has been more helpful. It gives me a daily reminder for daily devotional, I am able to highlight different text in various colours, it reads the word to me when I am unable, and of course we get the amazing insights to scripture helping to understand from Mr John MacArthur..Version: 2.0.2

Great appThe app has only gotten better progressively. Very resourceful. Would be nice to have all of GTY’s resources built in one App..Version: 2.0.2

RecommendationWould highly recommend it to every believer who want to be fully nurtured and mature in the ways of the Lord..Version: 2.0.2

Such a wonderful blessing!This app is just what I have been looking for to help with daily bible studies. There is so much in this app to help discover the deep truths of Gods word!!!!.Version: 2.0.2

Great app! Thank you GTYLoving this app. Thank you GTY staff for your hard work'! I know that the staff is hard at work with various translations. I really hope to see Japanese, Mandarin, Korean and French in the future. God bless all.Version: 1.6.17

AmazingSo excited to have Johns notes on my mobile devices! And to instantly have the corresponding sermon available. Incredible resource and age we live in!.Version: 1.6.17

Better “Study Bible” of this time in Christ Jesus!Thank you to God, your ministry and pastor John MacArthur for what our Lord has given him in order to put this tool for the edification of the body of Christ in Jesus’ name!.Version: 1.6.15

Great app.I had just purchased the JM study bible ( a real bible), then I downloaded this app and it's a word for word translation with the notes. Easy to learn and navigate through the book. You can save notes,pages, they have sermons to listen to, topics on today's issues as Christians, lots of stuff! I highly recommend this app for anybody who spends time away from there bible..Version: 1.6.14

Best study bibleLove this study bible and all the extras with it. It has helped me greatly. Thanks GTY for all your hard work and amazing resources..Version: 1.6.1

Bible appAt my finger tips, I found: maps, audio and videos sermons,chapter introductions. There are bookmarks that can be sorted not only by book but also by date. Also a really neat bold yellow verse highlighter that not only underlines the verses, but gives you Dr. MacArthur's clear exposition. I love my MacArthur NKJ study bible, and am now able, with this app, to delve deeper; by having it and the ESV. They now have added an NASB version. Giving me the option to read myself or have the text read to me. I have all the tools in this amazing app..Version: 1.6.1
