Orthodox Study Bible for Positive User Reviews
✓ Easy to navigateI have this bible on kindle but this is the best. It is easy to find things. Many apps are difficult but not this one. My only regret is why I waited so long to purchase it. Greatest gift I gave myself..Version: 6.4.2
✓ Topic Articles Alone Make It Worth BuyingIf you only buy this app for the purpose of having the topical articles available at your fingertips, you will still be pleased with the price you pay for the purchase. I use the daily readings nearly every Sunday morning before I go to my local Greek Orthodox Church as I like to get a head start on the scripture reading..Version: 6.4.2
✓ ICloud backup/note-takingGreat app! Wish there was a way to type out personal notes and switch between different color highlights, that would definitely be a plus for me. My only concern is the iCloud backup. I have been having issues syncing from my phone to tablet as it crashes. However, I’m sure this can be resolved with a software update. Keep up the good work!.Version: 6.6.1
✓ OSBExcellent App. Always have the osb wherever I go. And it is laid out very neatly..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Please make for iPad!!Amazing app! Great commentaries and articles. Please make for the iPad also! :).Version: 1.2.1
✓ OSBThis is a great app for any Orthodox Christian. It comes in handy when you need to look up a verse or when your on the go or out and about when you do not have your Bible in hand. Also it allows me to paste verses to Facebook using the septuagint Old Testament:).Version: 1.2.2
✓ Great...needs iPad versionGreat, but it needs a version for iPad!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Five reasons that I love this app.Great app that allows me to have my Orthodox Study Bible with me wherever I go. It is packed with features but here are my favorites: —Navigating to certain books and passages is quick and easy and I can access all the study notes for that page with a tap. —There is a separate area for daily reading plans that remembers my last stopping place. There are lots of reading plans to choose from. —The Psalm reading in the daily prayers updates automatically to the current days Psalm; no scrolling through the previous 6 days of Psalm readings to get to the Saturday Psalm. —All of the topical articles that are in the printed book are available here, accessed in the text as they appear in the print edition or listed in a drop down menu. —I use this app on an iPad and it has always worked perfectly, and works offline as well. The only thing I miss over my hardcover Bible is the beautiful images of icons on color plates. There are no images in the app..Version: 6.4.2
✓ IPhone XPlease optimize for iPhone X. Otherwise a great app!.Version: 6.4.2
✓ Praise The LordBeing able to have your bible with you wherever you go and in particular the Orthodox Study Bible is a blessing. I use my App morning and night to do my prayers. Thank you.Version: 6.5
✓ My Favorite App for 2014I've had this app for a while -but just started using it. I love the way I can now have the daily readings, prayers and additional helpful Orthodox information all in one place. I would love the Prologue attached too - but I am very content with this! Thank you for providing it! I use it the most on my IPad by the way..Version: 1.2.1
✓ My Saviour!Great work, many thanks :).Version: 1.0.2
✓ LOVE it!I have the printed copy and this is the perfect addition to it ! Great app, I love this study bible!❤️.Version: 5.1.2
✓ Needs iPhone X SupportThe Bible is sensational but the app needs to support the new iPhone screen size, it’s a ton of wasted real-estate..Version: 6.4.2
✓ Update pleaseGreat app but needs more support and updates. Daily readings is currently broken. Has been for a few weeks. Please fix..Version: 6.6.2
✓ Great Study Bible to add to your libraryThis is an electronic version of the Orthodox Study Bible published by Thomas Nelson. The app is less expensive than the various ebooks. It has all the various additional sections plus the OT and NT. There is Morning and Evening prayers for each day of the week that come up tied to the current day. It is a great introduction to the Eastern Orthodox Church with various articles and the study notes have tie-ins back to the writtungs of the Church Fathers. The navigation is straight forward to get to a verse and to then see the notes..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Perfect! Everything I was hoping for in a Bible app, and EASY to use!!!This app is how a Biblical study tool should be. It’s packed with passages for every holy day, lots of useful articles, a daily reading that covers the entire Bible in one or two years, and most importantly this app is very easy to use. You can cut & paste verses, and save highlights to iCloud. And finding any verse in the Old or New Testament only takes a few seconds. This app is indeed the perfect companion to The Orthodox Study Bible (hardcover copy.) I don’t write reviews often, but this OSB app was was well worth the $10 price, and makes the project I’m working on incredibly fast and easy to research..Version: 6.6.2
✓ My Favorite AppI'm very pleased with this purchase. Absolutely worth it..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Best bible app out there hands downAWESOME APP!!! Looked at many other bible apps and this is the one if your looking for something with more spiritual depth. Love the topical articles, daily readings, and all the extras it has to offer. I use it everyday and just wish there was more reading material in the topical articles. Other than that this is the bible app to get, well worth the money..Version: 5.0.3
✓ More Graphics & iphoneX supportI have always been using the OSB, and was thrilled when I saw the app and got it right away. It is considered expensive but I thought I would be getting an equal to the book. But wasn’t very happy with it to be honest. It’s a good step, but needs the same/similar graphics to the OSB. Also needs support for different proportion phones like the iPhone X. Also if the introduction to the book is available upfront like the chapters and not in the info box. Hope to see more and more updates and make it closer and closer to the actual book! Bless your work! Thanks!.Version: 6.4.2
✓ A+Well worth the download!!!.Version: 5.0.3
✓ LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this appI've been wanting to read this Bible from cover-to-cover, and now there is this great app to assist me! I recommend the "Bible in one year mixed reading plan"! I love the notes section that helps interpret the reading. In my humble opinion, I strongly recommend this app. However I have found one bug - the book of Proverbs was blank..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Outstanding - must haveMy go-to reference..Version: 6.5.2
✓ Perfect timingHere in the beginning of lent.... I'm SO blessed to have stumbled upon this app. Complete with daily reading AND daily prayers, right at my fingertips. Looking forward to this Lent, with this app by my side. I'll be sharing this with friends!.Version: 1.1
✓ FrustratedI LOVE the app, but why am I not able to find the app for my iPad Pro???????.Version: 5.1.2
✓ So thankful!So thankful this was made into an app! I had been just trying to use the Kindle version. This is nice to have on hand..Version: 6.6.2
✓ Excellent App for ALL ChristiansI use this App all the time, and it's a great way of knowing all there is to know regarding the Christian Faith. Not just an app for reading the bible but fully documented and information regarding the text itself and many other features for example who were the 70 apostles, what did the early fathers say about the text, and why do we get baptised etc...there is also a planned reading guide. A must have App even if you have other bible apps this is the one that helps you understand the depths of the right path in Christianity. Nicholas..Version: 5.1.2
✓ An excellent app of the OSBI love this app! I’m a huge fan of the OSB hardcover edition, and it’s so nice to have a portable version with me at all times. The OSB includes the Old Testament, New Testament, and deuterocanonical writings. It also has numerous study articles that help with understanding the Orthodox position on matters of faith. The app works great - it’s functional, has both light and dark modes, and has the ability to bookmark / highlight verses. A few areas of suggestion for the developer: it would be nice if there were more ways to take notes or organize bookmarks. Right now the bookmarks/ highlighting aspect is fairly basic. It’s functional, but could be more robust and easier to tag / sort verses. Another area where the app could be improved would be overall readability (there’s a light and dark mode, but sepia would be appreciated). Different fonts and font sizes would greatly help with readability, generally. It would also be nice if there was a way to get the icons on here, but I’d prioritize the readability aspects first. Either way, the app is great. Highly recommended..Version: 6.6.2
✓ Book marking and highlighting in the footnotesIt would be very helpful if we could highlight and bookmark the footnoted. Thanks for this awesome resource!.Version: 6.6.2
✓ Great app and intuitive UII love this app. It’s simple and gets the job done. Will we be seeing iPhone X support in the near future?.Version: 6.4.2
✓ The Orthodox Study Bible AppAn excellent app that is well designed and functional. Great for devotions and study and to have handy for those free moments that can be blessed with the Word of God. A brilliant link to the daily readings bringing them up from the study bible!.Version: 1.1
✓ Good value, great convenienceThis app is a good value as it is priced below what I paid for the Kindle ebook version of this particular Bible translation. As an app, it is easier to navigate than the ebook versions, as you can go to a particular verse in much fewer steps than can be accomplished through an ebook's Table of Contents. The greatest convenience though is the app's daily reading feature, which presents the multiple readings for today on a single page, so you don't have to jump back and forth between a lectionary with hyperlinks. Thank you for creating this app just in time for Great Lent. Please keep up the good work..Version: 5.1.2
✓ Highly recommended to any Christian!This includes the best English translation of the Holy Bible, NKJV. The footnotes are amazing. Best app in the app store, worth every penny!.Version: 1.1
✓ Overall, Pretty GoodI have both the IPhone app version and the Kindle version. The iPhone app has far superior graphics and style. Finding a particular book, chapter, or verse is much quicker, but it lacks landscape mode that kindle version has, which is a drag. Also, the iPhone app version does not include cross references in the commentary, which the kindle version has. I find this very useful. Finally, the kindle version includes a cross, which, when pressed takes you directly to that verse's commentary. On the iPhone app, you have to scroll until you find the corresponding commentary..Version: 1.1
✓ JVExcellent resource for all Orthodox or anyone wanting to about a Orthodoxy! The Old Testament is Septuagint version which is excellent! System for daily readings is great! Now we need the Lenten Triodian full version and the Holy Week Book!!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Love this app!!While there are a number of apps which I have found useful, none have really gotten me excited enough to write a review - until now. I own a hard copy of the Orthodox Study Bible which was purchased shortly after I became Orthodox. While I like it, it isn't exactly portable enough to carry around. I had considered a Kindle version but the app far surpasses what a Kindle edition is capable of. Further, the app has features which I can see even supplanting my hard copy version. A GREAT bargain at this price when you consider the content and capabilities. I'd rate this 10 stars..Version: 1.2
✓ A joyConvenient version of a gem - thank you!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Great!This is just SO helpful! If you are on the go, or want to discuss with someone and don't have your hard copy handy! Very easy to use & clear! A must have!.Version: 6.3
✓ Facebook sharing not workingI really enjoy the Orthodox Study Bible app! I am only writing this review to inform the app developer that the share to Facebook option is not working. I will take down this review when I know this feature has been fixed. Thank you..Version: 6.5
✓ RecommendedWaited long time for this app. Highly recommended. Commentaries are a great resource for anyone studying scriptures..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Love this appThank you to whoever compiled this. Only suggestion would be linking biblical references in the footnotes for convenience sake. Maybe just a pop up that shows the scripture referenced? May our Lord bless whoever reads this with mercy, understanding and joy. Amen..Version: 6.6.1
✓ A must-have for Orthodox ChristiansThis is a excellent app, and the content is faithful to the hardcopy original. It’s easy to use, well laid out with a clean interface. I love that all of the topical articles, daily prayers, lectionary and study articles, as well as the textual footnotes are included as well. It even has night mode which is a great feature. You can also bookmark and highlight your favourite verses. All in all, it’s a fantastic app..Version: 6.4.2
✓ Great! But can I sync?No major complaints. It's a great, on-the-go Bible. I just wish my bookmarks would automatically sync between my devices..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Great app but it needs ipad version soon!I love this app but reading it on my iphone is terrible for my eyes. Ipad version would be very much appreciated and very useful..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Well Pleased!I came across some passages online, talking about how the NKJV New Testament aligns better with the Septuagint. It’s a bit confusing at first, cross referencing. The Septuagint by Brenton is a tad bit easier to use as a cross referencing tool, in my opinion. But once you are able to get through the whole numbering system, this Orthodox study Bible is spot on. For example, cross referencing Hebrews 10:5 with Psalm 40:6. In the Brenton version of the Septuagint, it would be Psalm 39:6. Here in the Orthodox Bible, it’s Psalm 39:7. And I want to say that is because the title of the chapter is being accounted as verse 1? I’m still new and trying to understand that part. I don’t have the Brenton version of the Septuagint, yet..Version: 6.6.2
✓ Orthodox study bibleNeeds work on the daily readings. It doesn't work on my bible..Version: 1.1
✓ IlluminatingMost recommended. The study tabs within and alongside the text deliver wholistic and rich explanation to any one portion of the scripture, drawing closer even the most casual reader to the ‘study’ of the Bible. This cannot be underestimated for the benefits of insight and application it imparts. Overall the experience of the OSB feels like you are in church with Christianity’s most sage and spiritual helping you turn the pages, and your life moving forward... Always some room for improvement... eg took me a while to figure Samuels 1 and 2 in other bibles are actually Kingdoms 1 and 2 in the Orthodox Bible. Also some simple line drawings, even with faceless stick figures will help ‘flesh out’ and ‘lighten’ the volume of text. Thank you for a most amazing reference and gift of the Word delivered and explained..Version: 6.4.2
✓ Great App!!Wonderful app!! A huge update request would be an audio option to be made available..Version: 6.6.2
✓ Beautiful workSuch a beautiful Bible app. I wish it would read it to you too. Maybe in your next update that could be done. Love the commentary of the Fathers and the layout of the app. Highly recommend.Version: 6.4.2
✓ Thankyou!!Thankyou so much!!! Excellent resource I've been waiting for this app for a long time. God Bless!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Great convenient app!I love the layout of this app. It has all of the information in the study bible within the app, and it keeps track of where you left off last within each section. For example, if you read Wisdom chapter 1 yesterday, it will say that this is the last chapter of Wisdom you read when you choose it as the book of the Bible you wanted to read. I am Protestant, but I am coming to appreciate and value many things out of the Orthodox tradition because of this study bible!.Version: 5.1.3
✓ My Favorite Bible AppGreat to have the entire OSB in an app. Love the commentary, the prayers and the reading plans. I highly recommend..Version: 5.0.3
✓ Bible studyIn my busy life as a dad and husband this is so needed on a daily.Version: 6.6.2
✓ Really good App!Every Orthodox Christian should have this!.Version: 5.0.3
✓ ReviewThis has been an extremely educational book/app. I recently converted to the Greek Orthodox Religion. I have always lived in a Christian home, but once I began learning about the Orthodox religion, I felt a calling to convert. This book/app has helped me easily learn the beliefs and ways of the Greek Orthodox Church. It is very educational and has helped me greatly in my new faith. Thank you for writing this book/app. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn more about the Greek Orthodox faith..Version: 6.6.1
✓ Lectionary reading PLUS yearly readingWith this app one can keep up with podcast of reading through Orthodox Bible in a year on Ancient Faith. One can also keep up with lectionary reading from yearly calendar that the Church year follows, plus many more features..Version: 6.6.2
✓ Got me to readI have had two different hard copies of this for years and have never picked them up. I am very proud to say that my New Year's resolution for 2016 was to read the Bible. With the HELP of this app I have successfully read the OT and NT! My son and I each read it following the "chronological plan". Thank you so much for making this version. I look forward to reading the daily readings and additional prayers as needed..Version: 5.1.2
