Bible Study Tools for Negative User Reviews

Frustrating!I can’t access my bible reading plan on the app, as it keeps prompting me for my email address and then crashing!.Version: 3.0.1

Didn’t Jesus GIVE HOPE for FREE????Yesterday (25/09/22) I was humiliated by a another Christian. I hardly slept last night. This morning in my email box there was mail from this organisation Crosswalk Study Bible tools I subscribed to because some of it was free. I saw a heading stating “Hold tight to hope” this is exactly what I needed. So, I started to read it, I got so far down and I had to subscribe to read the rest!!!!!!!!! Obviously this organisation thinks we have to PAY for HOPE! I unsubscribed to the app now I will unsubscribe to the emails too..Version: 3.0.6

Very goodCould be better though, locks and freezes sometimes.Version: 2.3

Their hearts may be in the right place but their IT is MIANothing inside the app is usable. You can’t open up any of the headers, bring up any of the content, or click on any links because none of them works. Just basically wallpaper with the beginning of some potentially pretty sentences. But you’ll never know what the rest of the message says because nothing happens if you click on it. The only area that responds is the menu. But that’s as satisfying as going to a restaurant and not being able to order; You’re just stuck, flipping through the menu. Good luck to the developers, hope you get it all worked out because we all know how much more God we all need! And “Now” can’t come soon enough. Take care!.Version: 3.0.6

What is going onI have loved using this app to supplement my bible reading , something has happened recently and it will no longer open in bible plans, and shuts down the app when I try. I hope this will be remedied soon as I would give this 4-5 stars at normal function..Version: 2.4.2

Could Improve This App1) There’s some confusing labeling to the New Revised Standard Version in the collection of available bibles. 2) Also, the reason I’m giving only two stars is mainly because the application has technical bugs loading reading plans and simultaneously having two reading plans stored at the correct timing and date which I read it. 3) The entire app doesn’t synchronize with the time zone where my mobile devices are set to, and messes up with reading plan registration. 4) There’s a few misleading advertisements that I can guess funds the app. However, does business have anything to do with Bible Studies? 5) At irregular intervals, the connections on this app’s Internet links breaks down. It’s not the WiFi or cellular network providers’ failure, but the app’s back-end design need to be fixed. Finally, I might reconsider this rating if the mentioned problems are solved within adequate response to review. Let’s say, within a month since I post this. If not, take the two stars and I’m going on to use Bible Gateway app or another instead..Version: 2.4.2

So disappointedI would give zero stars if I could. I was really looking forward to using this app. I have wanted to read through the Bible in a year for a few years and finally felt it was something I could commit to in this new year. Unfortunately, I will not be using this app for anything. EVERYTIME I open it IT CRASHES! EVERY SINGLE TIME! I am a patient and understanding person but when trying to use an app it should not crash every time it is open. Sadly, I will be deleting and looking elsewhere to accomplish my goal..Version: 3.0.6

Ads!Who needs them....!.Version: 2.4.2

Unwanted Paid SubscriptionMy free subscription was changed to a paid subscription without my opt-in, and then an email was sent asking me to “check that my payment method is still valid” since the subscription “failed to renew.” This request for credit card info is something I would expect from an organization trying to trick people into paying for something they assume they or a family member already decided to pay for. It is not what I would expect from Salem Media..Version: 3.0.6

No highlightsIn this new app there are no highlights appearing. All highlights from my previous login, have been highlighted..Version: 2.0

App keeps crashingI can’t even use the app. Every time I start it - it crashes. Please fix this.Version: 3.0.6

Bible studyI enjoy reading the scripture and the explanation every day. Thank you.Version: 2.1

ConfusedWait. What? OK, so today I was reading Psalm 5:3 and pondering the idea that king David offered sacrifices each morning and what that means for me. So I go online and find a couple of articles. One titled, “Sacrifice, in the New Testament, 1”. The browser indicates I can open this app to view it. When I tap the link, the app opens to the homepage, but not to the article. Then, the Search function is limited to searching for Scripture passages but not articles. So how can I access all the other content this app supposedly has? There seems to be lots of articles and commentaries in the app, but if they’re not searchable, they’re useless. Honestly, I’m not going to sit and read random commentaries. My study time is more focused. I use the You Version Bible app by LifeChurchTV which includes numerous translations free of charge. So I don’t need another Bible on my phone. I need study tools. This app is labeled, “Bible Study Tools”. Where are they? Why are they hard to find? Why is it not coded properly to interface with a web browser to link directly to the article or tool I’m seeking? In short, I’m confused about what this app does and how I can make it work. What’s the point of this? I’m new to the app and pretty ignorant of how to use all of it. It doesn’t seem self-explanatory, intuitive, simple to me. Perhaps an update with a tutorial or Help files menu is needed..Version: 3.0.6

The app freezesThe app is no longer working. I removed and reinstalled it. I turned off and off the phone Still not working.Version: 3.0.6

Bugs cause it to crashEnjoyed using this app for the first couple of days. But app now crashes and shuts down when going to open plans, and also had some trouble navigating books/chapters in normal reading mode. Great potential, but unfortunately unusable in current form.Version: 2.4.2

Freezes and can’t use after updateIn concept this is a great idea...the app is glitchy, I try to open it and it freezes. This recent update I can’t get past the screen that is asking me to sign up email Devos. can’t use app! :(.Version: 3.0.1

CrashAlmost always crashes on opening on my iOS 6 ipod. Removed..Version: 1.6

Functionality issuesSo much not now working on this app anymore. Come on Salem - let’s get fixing..Version: 3.0.6

Ads move this from a useful tool to a big NOI understand ads to support a free app, that's not a problem. But those ads need to be APPROPRIATE. Problem #1: Opened the app one time to study God's word and was presented by a woman in a bikini. Really? Sure glad I wasn’t opening it at church to use, only to have someone else see that! Problem #2: LOUD ads! Again, someone might open this at church (yes, hopefully they’ve turned down their phone). Super inappropriate ads ruin what could be a useful app. Surely there is a way to vet the ads that are allowed, hopefully with quiet, wholesome ads that better target the expected audience. I’ve been working through a reading plan using this app. Regrettably, I plan to uninstall it once I complete that plan..Version: 3.0.6

What have you done?Have used this app for a long time and loved it. Then....one day I opened it and only had a blank page. This lasted for several days. I deleted it and reinstalled. Still blank page. Finally, today the home page came up but I could not sign in. I tried a number of times, even changed my password. Still could not sign in. So I deleted and reinstalled again. This time, the app that opened was totally different from the one I knew and liked so much. So I deleted it again and am trying to find something else I like..Version: 3.0.6

RaySorry app master, you should have at least tried this to see if it works. The icon looks pretty nice on my screen but that's all it does. The app will not open..Version: 2.1

Honestly SpeakingExtreme amount of pop-ups, ads and unsolicited emails that can only be related to this app. Now receiving ads and “tools” on a private email that has never been listed nor connected to this app other than through my name and private information. Receiving “ideas” and reminder “tools” that were unsolicited. Seemed like a good app and program and I was warned about the excessive ads and so on. I didn’t sign up to have my personal information tracked, sold or targeted. If you want to provide a service do so and make irrelevant pop-ups, ads and selling personal information a thing of the past. It is not in any way conducive to delve into a study or meditation on a verse and be inundated with ads and pop-ups. Seems akin to taking a break during worship to see an ad on the most recent acne medication. Know your audience!.Version: 3.0.6

Bug in Reading PlanI have been doing the Chronological Reading Plan in this ap, but it will not let me continue past Numbers chapter 7. It is absolutely stuck there. After I read that chapter there is no button to allow me to check off that day and move forward. There is a different button which will advance the chapter, but that button doesn't advance the reading plan, so the next day when I come back to continue the reading plan it puts me at Chapter 7 again. I think this the first time in this reading plan where the assignment for the day is just one chapter. I think that condition may be what triggers the bug. Just a guess -trying to help the developer. I've been at this stuck point for about a month now. I've tried a variety of tactics to get around it. I tried waiting, hoping the bug would get fixed. I've deleted the ap and re-installed it. Nothing helps. Very sad..Version: 3.0.6

It is confusingThe functionality is not good. It does not auto fit to your phone window which makes it difficult to close. It has too many adds and while it has some functionality of youversion it is weak at best in comparison. Missing start date selections on reading plan. It automatically forces the date you select it on not allowing you to prepare for the future. Font size is small and difficult to increase..Version: 3.0.6

Reading Plan CrashesUp until the end of 2017, I was happy with the app; especially the reading plans. I wanted to start the New Year with re-reading the Bible in its entirety using the Chronological Reading Plan. Unfortunately, I’m not able to do this because when I select the Reading Plan, it crashes and kicks me out of the app. I’ve rebooted my iPad several times as well as uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times. Nothing works. I would appreciate hearing from the app developer or anyone else who has had this problem for a solution. Thanks..Version: 2.4.2

! Application not on service !This application for me is disable for some reason I can’t click on anything whatsoever , please fix it ASAP . Thank you.Version: 3.0.6

An awful experienceI was so excited when I found out about this app but using this app is like an exercise in self control and not scream in anger and frustration. There is so much potential and useful resource in it. Please, please, please fix this app..Version: 3.0.6

Audio Bible hard to findThis is the most frustrating app! Trying to find the audio bible is nearly impossible. I have to keep it open on my phone to get back to it. When it disappears it takes hours to find it again. The other aggravating thing is that it doesn’t keep track of where the reading left off. Another reason I have to keep it open. If I didn’t like the voice of the narrator so much, I would search for something else. My advice: don’t get started on this app..Version: 3.0.6

Always technical problemsI have had technical difficulties with this app. I’ll start a reading plan and come back the next day and it won’t even show that I’ve started one. Lately, I can’t even see any plans, at all. Also, when the plans were showing, I would have to click on the one above it (another plan) to get the one that I was doing, to open. This is too frustrating for me to stay with, so I will move in to another app..Version: 3.0.6

Great ResourceOverall an excellent resource that does what it says. I've had it for a few months now and it works well. I particularly like the multiple translations it offers such as the KJV and The Message Bible which is amazing for a free app! Some areas need improving such as the highlighting function and notes function. Currently all highlighted verses are seen under the "highlighted" tab in book order. The down side of this is that if you highlight 6 verses for a message you'll have to look for it again amongst hundreds of others that you've highlighted previously. A more handy feature would be to clump the highlighted verses together under a sermon title in "Notes". The previous version allowed you to copy and paste verses, this version does not. There's a glitch in this version when highlighting, it resets to verse 1 regardless of what verse you highlight. These improvements would get a 5 star rating from me..Version: 2.1

RubbishBookmarking the page works . The concordance on this app doesn’t work . This is rubbish!.Version: 3.0.4

New update 👎The new update has made a useful app useless, it is now very clunky, slow and has various advertisements all over the screen, preventing you from seeing your relevant screen..Version: 2.0

Needs ImprovementThe previous version was a lot better than the latest one. Here there are no dates to track your progress. Also, there is no visual identification of chapters other than the verse numbers! So it's difficult to tell when one chapter ends and a new one begins. Not very user friendly. Really hoping changes are implemented in the next version. Would also be good to have a 6 month reading plan included..Version: 2.0

Poor.They advertise teaching from the mormon church and from heretical teachers.Version: 3.0.6

Email adsI made an account and evidently without realising, agreed to having ad emails sent to me from their 'ad partners'. I opened one today thinking I was perhaps getting a daily reading or something...but no...a weird health warning ad accompanied with grotesque and distressing image. Very unhappy...very! I've contacted them to get this undone hopefully!.Version: 2.4.1

IPhone app can’t access reading plansI use Bible Study Tools this mainly on my laptop.I downloaded the app on my phone. From the app I consistently cannot access the reading plans at all. I’ve been trying for two weeks and I just get an error message..Version: 3.0.6

Wrong BibleUsed it for short time. However, I wanted to use King James Version and set it up to do this under settings but discovered this app reverted to some other version in daily reading despite my desire. I have now stopped using this..Version: 3.0.6

Terrible appThis app displays network connection issues a lot of the times and then It will not work at all. Sometimes it even displays issues with the Bible version not being supported. My other issue is that this site continues to allow all kinds of pop ups to display. There are a full screen pop up everyday you open the app that allows you to close it, very annoying. Once you download whatever "book" they are displaying for the day it keeps popping up everyday after that. Then comes the spam once you provide your email address, good luck unsubscribing to the spam sites. At the bottom of the screen is a constant advert screen that you are unable to disable. I have already emailed the support desk about ongoing issues with this app and have never received a reply back from them. There are better and more structured apps out there that support the various books and readings that can be chosen from. KEEP AWAY HUGE SPAM WARNING WITH THIS APP..Version: 1.6.2

USE CAUTION!!! DELETE THIS APP!DOES NOT SHARE ACCURATE TRUTH! Says “The Holy Spirit’s Ministry is to shed light on “OLD TRUTH” (already revealed in scripture), not to reveal “new truth”.” Continues on to say Holy Spirit does not speak today not verbally nor in visions or through “inner light”. If we believe Holy Spirit is speaking through visions, thought, verbal or any way we are creating or fabricating this experience. FALSE! Acts 2:17 says- And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:. The editors and producers of this app operate in RELIGION. They do not clearly understand the Word as it says in John 4:24 “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”” USE CAUTION WITH THIS APP!!!! Something always seemed off about this app and I rarely if ever used it but now I am deleting it and sharing with others. I wish I could upload the screenshot to prove what I am saying being posted on the app!!!! FALSE TEACHING!!!.Version: 3.0.6

This App is uselessDo not download. Half of the sections don’t work and get error messages. I also paid for Plus but I still get tons of ads. Just use your browser instead. Get ready, the ads are overwhelming. The whole idea is to get you to pay for the Plus version which is nice but just not worth it. I really do wish the app worked and the free version online wasn’t so busy with ads because it’s hard to concentrate while studying. The creators of the app should pay attention to these reviews and put a little effort in to remedying the problems. Instead of giving the exact same developer response to everyone, there is NO UPDATE and there hasn’t been one for years. The same bugs and error messages still exist..Version: 3.0.6

App update has broken it completelyJust updated and the opening page is now to sign up for a newsletter (not wanted by me) and NONE of the call to action buttons work so you can’t get past that page! Fix it quickly please!!!.Version: 3.0.1

Would be great without Ads.Please get rid of the ads 😩..Version: 2.4.2

Sadly, it has changedHaving been my online go-to Bible for years, they are now requiring paid membership. Unless I sign-up for $4.99/mo (not outrageous admittedly) by June 30, I’ll lose all my highlights, bookmarks that I’ve marked over the years. So now researching other options including pay subscriptions to determine which is best. Sorry to see it change..Version: 3.0.6

It doesn’t work!If I could give it less than one star I would. The ap doesn’t work at all. There is a breakdown in the app that disconnects the link before one can even complete logging in, therefore unable to use the app at all. I’ve deleted and downloaded the app several times and the same thing happens every time. My WiFi signal is good and the app says I can use it on my devise but it just doesn’t work..Version: 3.0.6

What happened?This app used to be working just fine, what on earth happened? Nothing and I mean nothing works. Please debug this app ASAP, then I will change my feedback from zero star to 5 stars, like this *****.Version: 3.0.6

DisappointedI have tried for years to be consistent in reading the Bible through. Finally, this app provided the support and reminders that allowed me to read it through two years in a row! Then all of the sudden, “I don’t have a reading plan.” I tried to contact support with no response, I get emails telling me the next section of verses but the link to keep reading sends me to the app that tells me I don’t have a reading plan. Now I am back to weeks behind my schedule. Hopefully I can get back on track manually. I am not sure what happened..Version: 3.0.6

Sometimes frustratingThe first issue I had with this app was with the Bible study. I have KJV bible version selected, but the version that it gives me for my daily bible study is different and I can’t change it. The second issue popped up two days ago. When I tap the app a screen pops up wanting me to subscribe to a daily bible verse. It won’t let me tap “not now” or “subscribe”. It just freezes so now I can’t use the app anymore..Version: 3.0.1

App crashed and could no longer access reading planI love this app and used it every day. I was less than 10 days away from finishing the Bible when the it crashed and I could no longer access my reading plans. As other suggested I uninstall and reinstall the app but did not have any success. I finally got it to work after going to the App Store and under reviews selecting support. I had to login and select a reading plan through this process. Reading plans are now available through the app..Version: 2.4.2

Doesn't work. Crash...Doesn't work at all....Version: 1.6

UnsyncedStarted using chronological on mac laptop which has been good, except when it all just vanished and I had to start again. Trying to use iphone app but it doesn’t synch with my existing plan so it is a bit frustrating....Version: 3.0.6

App Development Team NEVER Responded to BugI’ve had this app for many years. In the past two to three years, it seems that the app stopped being updated. My Bible version choice was never saved and neither was my Bible Reading Plan. Extremely frustrating to use, and what’s even worse, even after contacting the app developers, which, finding the contact information was like finding a needle in a haystack they NEVER responded to my bug. Deleted this app to find one that actually works..Version: 3.0.6

Update pleaseThis is an amazing app! It would be great if you could do regular updates! Updates for the new iPhones are needed.Version: 3.0.6

Good plans: frustrating app navigationPlan I’m using is great but app itself freezes a lot and will not allow you to navigate it at all. To go to anything different I have to completely close the app down and reopen to try to navigate back or to something else..Version: 3.0.6

Awful appDo not use this. The bugs are insane. The ads are endless. You can’t save your reading plans after you’ve already saved another. I used this to read through the NT once and there is no way to reset progress so you can read again. Half the time you click the app your either stuck on an ad or it seems frozen and you can’t click what you want. The only good thing is that the verses are spread out and it looks clean when reading. Other than that it’s just a frustrating experience when trying to study. Needs devs to fix bugs..Version: 3.0.6

Always crashesThis app desperately needs an update, it isn’t compatible with iOS anymore and crashes seconds after opening. Of course you can still subscribe to the website but the app they link to from their website is this unusable one.Version: 3.0.6

Don't bother!!All I wanted was a SIMPLE TOOL to help me understand the Bible from the perspective of the Jews of the Old Testament and The Greeks from the New Testament, NOTHING else. Just from my perspective this app is dine from a certain denomination and what I call Saducee's perspective not the Holy Spirit's perspective. And what really upset me in just trying to set this app up is their Manmade Marketing!! The potential customer is bombarded by buying more and more to so call "better understand "the scriptures, bah humbug! Very disappointed in this bogged down app that you have to be a genius to understand how to use it! That is NOT God's Way, that is Man's Way!! And because of that I am deleting this app ..Version: 3.0.6

Prepare to be spammed!They send me e-mails all the time and I do not even know how to make them stop! I thought maybe I had signed into their site but when I logged in after performing a "password reset" I got a message that I had been a member for 0 days! So they created an account because I "reset" my password because they were spamming me? All I can figure is they got my email from checking out their app and all they do now is spam me? Not cool! I want the emails to stop!!!.Version: 2.4.2

Age given is age 4+Too badI liked it until I tried it. All I saw were many options for cheat sheets and shortcuts I gave up trying to find a Bible when I got an unrelated table of quotes. So I put into the search line the word bible. The magnifier stood silent as search returned nothing. Like others I found the website poorly constructed. The university should be ashamed to endorse this for any students. I found it cumbersome, loaded with unwanted trivia, and basically useless for seasoned Bible readers to use for study. Too bad..Version: 3.0.6

CautionI cannot find any email showing that I paid for this app so this morning’s email is suspicious to me. I received an email saying that I needed to update my payment information on file to pay for my subscription. I immediately deleted the app and checked previous emails to see when I would have ever paid for this subscription in the first place. I don’t recall giving them my payment information. I emailed and requested that my personal information be deleted and that I could not pay for a subscription and was not renewing it. Emails that request payment information are a cause for worry these days..Version: 3.0.6

Can’t useOn a 12 pro max and the app crashes when I try to login into my plus account.Version: 3.0.6

More about salesIf there weren’t so many advertisements to buy stuff this would be a very good app. They are like most other companies. You click that you want one thing when you get ready to pay for it it takes you to another WAIT area, so you can add to your previous purchase. I hate that. If I want something I will search for it, I don’t like it being thrown in my face. I would also be nice if the “no thank you” was at the top and not the bottom of the advertisement..Version: 3.0.6

New versionSorry to say that this new version is disappointing. For some reason my highlighted notes are not saving which was the best feature of the previous version for me. I was so much more impressed with the previous version and would have sung its praises on a review..Version: 2.1

App updateI preferred the website over this app.. if you want to highlight it takes you to a page like you want to report it for an error.. and also when flipping from chapter to book is not user friendly and that definitely needs works.. I can do because I’ll mess with something until I figure it out but it shouldn’t take an average person that long or anyone to have to find something and then end up on a blank screen and then end up going back out to the beginning .. INSANE.Version: 3.0.6

Bible study toolsI download bible study tools , and try to and try to tap bible to study or read some verses , but it always become black or blank and return to the icon ... I don't know what's going on ... maybe it's time to delete it ..Version: 2.4.2

StudyDoesn't seem to work. Disappointing.Version: 2.4.2

New changes horrible!!!I hate the new changes! Before it was simple and easy to navigate, with a random surprise scripture daily. I am really disappointed! 😢.Version: 2.1

Won’t open reading plansWon’t open reading plan - says ERROR Bad network response. Probably the JSON URL is unreachable..Version: 3.0.6

App frozen again. Please help!After using the app's reading plan for 30+ days, I have had difficulties with the app freezing on the page that comes up immediately after opening the app. This is the page "get your topical bible study in your inbox". The "not now" button does not respond and I cannot get to the home page. I've deleted and reinstalled the app, which worked exactly one day. Now it's frozen again, even after deleting and reinstalling again. Any suggestions? I would really like to get back to my reading plan!.Version: 3.0.1

DisappointedThe app won't let me sign up therefore I am unable to use the tools that are offered..... Could be a great app if they fix that..Version: 2.3

Love but disappointedLove the concept of the app and all of the tools it possesses but very disappointed in some of the kinks and bugs. There's a delay in switching between books of the Bible where I have to actually close the app and reopen before it goes to the book I want. The biggest issue I have is when registering. I try to register with my Facebook page and it tells me to try again. If I try again or select close page I get a new error page. Help! I really want to use this tool with my studies but I'm hitting road blocks..Version: 2.4.2

Not user friendlyNot easy to use when you want Strong's number and do in depth studying. Nice to have different versions available though..Version: 2.4.2

No updates in 5 yearsApp is unusable crashes upon opening. Assuming it’s because it is not configured to newer iOS because it hasn’t been updated since 2017. Why advertise an app you don’t update?.Version: 3.0.6

Terrible app but good websiteI found the website I love the different Bible reading plans that have. I was so excited to see there is an app to help track and not need to have the website window on my phone open. Sadly, the app downloads but once open and I click login, the app crashes. I have tried ever iteration of internet signal strength and type to get it to work and all it does is crash..Version: 3.0.6

Needs a major redesignThere are so many faults, detailing them all is not possible. The main problems are: 1 - Reading plan does not default to the selected default version. The Bible tab displays the preferred version for me but not the scheduled daily reading. 2 - Missed days. Cannot be made up and the schedule slides meaning the target finish day is changed. If I miss a day’s reading I want to be able to make it up. 3 - Just as with the desktop site, TOO MANY INTRUSIVE advertisements..Version: 3.0.6

Giving up on this appI am a user of Bible Study Tools Online which generally is a pretty good web site, but this app is pretty bad and needed updates are not happening: 1) On my iPad when the app first starts, it just spins - kill and restart. On apps second attempt, it gets to Read Bible, but no books or chapters are shown - kill and restart. On apps third attempt, books and chapters finally show up. 2) On my iPhone, search by chapter and verse, e.g. Romans 5:3-4 shows no results. Really? 3) On my iPhone, no easy way to select multiple verses to share. If I click on a passage it immediately pops up menu options to share only that one verse. Copy is not an option. I’m a Christian and I understand grace esp. for free apps, but I’m also a software developer. My suggestion - count the cost. If you can’t support the app, don’t push it out. Nothing more frustrating than an app that doesn’t work well. Many better alternatives out there..Version: 3.0.6

Needs workThis app started out okay for me but then it kept freezing or jumping pages. This isn’t my phone, all other apps seem fine. Two days ago the ad that you get when you open became a button that wants me to subscribe for daily inspiration. I don’t want to be added to their list and it will not select the “not now” button. So I plan to delete the app as closing it and reopening it makes no difference. If I can’t access the app without subscribing than I am not interested..Version: 3.0.1

DisasterThe new update from, October 2015, now means that I cannot open this App at all as it crashes with every attempt. I deleted the app several times and, each time, re-installed it in a vain hope to get it to work, but to no avail. The software version, on my iPhone 5, is 7.1.2. Therefore, if I want to use Bible study tools online, I just go to my browser. Get it sorted, please?.Version: 2.0

App crashes at timesApp crashes on daily verse continue reading part, fix the bugs please.Version: 3.0.6

Glitch w/the appGood morning. I don’t know if anyone else is experiencing this same issue or if anyone has brought this issue to your attention but every time I go to open the app, it’ll just close out after a few seconds. It does this repeatedly and it’s quite frustrating. No sooner than you open it, it closes back out totally on its own. I have to use the website to get anywhere because I can never get the app to remain open long enough to select or do anything within it. Just wanted to bring this issue to someone’s attention in the hopes that hopefully it can be fixed and/or resolved. Thank you very much and have a blessed day. God bless.Version: 3.0.6

Great content, bad tech!Love the content and am currently addicted to the thematic reading plan. Love that I can click off “completed passage” for each day that I complete the readings in the plan. However, ever since the notification to sign up for the topical daily bible study popped up... I have not been able to click “subscribe” or choose not to subscribe and I cannot open the app past that point. It’s frozen. I got it to work on my iPad but it won’t work on my iPhone. Really disappointing! Please fix this soon!!.Version: 3.0.1

App is buggy-search functionalityThere are so many little things wrong with app. Simple things that can be fixed, in my opinion, quickly. The search function does not work properly. After a search, when I click on the verse it doesn’t take me to the corresponding place in the bible. If I select a new book and verse, the app does nothing and the old verse still shows. I actually have to click home then the verse I wanted shows on the home page. Too much work to read the Bible..Version: 3.0.1

Very badIt's twice now it has crash on me after 30 day reading plan it stops working not good pls fix it.Version: 1.6.2

New user - doesn’t workUPDATE: I tried once again after the most recent update and the note from the developer saying to try it again. It still doesn’t work. I downloaded and re-downloaded the app but can’t get past the email sign up screen. It seems neither of the buttons work. I tried both with and without submitting my email address. I would love to use this tool but it doesn’t seem to work. What say you, developers?.Version: 3.0.3

Good App but a few things don't workMy highlights disappear after I scroll through verses on my screen as well as my notes don't save. And I can't scroll down on my settings screen..Version: 2.4.2

Unable to log in/Unable to do ANYTHING on this app.In order to participate in having a reading plan I must log in. I am unable to log in; when I click on log in, the next page is blank, except the word "done" at the upper right corner. If this could be fixed, I would give the app a four or five. January 26, 2018 I can now log in, but nothing else works. I cannot access any of the Bible reading plans. What’s wrong over there? I am completely done with Bible Study Tools. It’s obvious no real people exist over there, otherwise these reviews would be read and commented on. Your sight needs to come alive; it is DEAD. You get NO stars. You get this only because this wouldn’t be sent otherwise. I am deleting you. After writing this, I tried the support place, designated by the question mark. There seems to be a disconnect between the icon on my screen and the support place in the app store..Version: 2.4.2

Reading plansI have thoroughly enjoyed the Thematic daily reading plan! It’s very well put together and I recommend it to whomever will listen. I also have appreciated how the app keeps track of my progress. WHAT I DO NOT LIKE IS THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE READING PLANS HAVE NOT BEEN ACCESSIBLE FROM THE MOBILE APP. Once it came back after a week or so, but since then I have to reload the app and then manually update it to my current day. It works for a while and then it will happen again. Most recently the I reinstalled the app agin, updated the app to say 295 (that took a little time) and the next day it was all gone again. I PERSEVERE BECAUSE THE THEMATIC PLAN IS SO GOOD..Version: 3.0.6

Inappropriate AdsBible study tool with non-biblical ads. It littered with ads rendering it not very convenient to use. Sad sad sad 😕.Version: 2.3
