The Study Bible for Positive User Reviews
✓ Guided by the Holy SpiritI can’t tell how much the Holy Spirit has helped me with studying and appreciate this study bible, to increase my understanding of scripture. I can only thank you from the bottom of my heart for your efforts in the expository manner that you explain biblical truth. May our Lord bless you and keep you..Version: 2.0.8
✓ 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
✓ Rare insight and truths to God’s Word.It is beautiful see a man of God, been able to get to the heart of God’s Word and bring light to His Word so we do not need to be in the dark. Thanks and praises to Our Lord Jesus Christ for this man..Version: 2.0.2
✓ ExcellentPraise the Lord Jesus Christ for this resource 5/5.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
✓ 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
✓ Well made app!I always wished GTY made a bible study app. So I'm grateful this app has been released, loved the implementation of Dr. MacArthur so I had to buy the add on. Perfect for commuting to uni/work everyday..Version: 1.6.2
✓ 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
✓ Great resourceIt’s very helpful to have the study resources alongside the scriptures to help understand every passage you read..Version: 2.0.3
✓ 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
✓ Great tool to study God’s WordAn easy to use app. Awesome notes, great for studying, with highlights and bookmarks, I can study multiple verses at a time..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 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
✓ Love it.Awesome study Bible. Thank you Dr Macarthur. God bless.Version: 2.0.4
✓ 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
✓ By FAR the Best Bible app on the marketAs typical with Pastor John MacArthur, this is a phenomenally under-priced work by the team at Grace to You. The John MacArthur study notes in-app purchase for $5.99 is by far the best value as it pertains to any and all biblical study resources. This would be under-priced even if it were set at $20 or $30. The biblical wisdom that Pastor MacArthur has poured into this work is astounding; truly indicative of a lifetime of collected biblical wisdom and doctrine. Any person desiring to learn the truth of God’s word will benefit greatly from this work..Version: 2.0.7
✓ Worth It! Use Daily!I need more English to Greek and Hebrew translations/ literal translations, please?! But could use some TLC in the realms of operability and organization. I love that we can highlight verses and get suggestions for cross-references, sermons!, and more! Sometimes sermons will glitch and not show me the time I’ve spent listening. So, whenever someone calls, I lose my place. The navigation from the top bar is incredibly responsive and useful! The bible itself glitches so the top bar will disappear, sometimes. The search feature lets me find verses that contain certain words... The search feature is nice, but I will still need to use the internet so I can find the verses to some translations. So, overall, this is a powerful and FREE resource to Thank God for! The features are aplenty and impressive! There are some kinks in operation, however..Version: 2.0.8
✓ Great resource.I am blessed to have such a valuable resource in my hand..Version: 1.6.0
✓ Best app I have!I love this app. Easy to use and it's great to be able to carry the word in my pocket wherever I go. I really like that it can be read to me also!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ 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
✓ A great simple format!Like how simple the application is and how scripture is shown with nothing else showing..Version: 2.0.5
✓ It’s a great app but there seems to be a bugThe app is amazing and I love it - however I find that whenever I go to any chapters in the bible scriptures the app takes me back to revelations 21 each time no matter which book or chapter I go to. I think there is a bug somewhere..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Great app FIX THE SKIP BUG!!!!UPDATE: still skips to gen or revelations part of the time when I scroll up or down, or I should say the skip bug is when scrolling with my thumb. Please fix this. Happens multiple times when I try to read… - prev review—- Loved this app on all of my other phones. Now I’m on iPhone 13 pro max and while reading and scrolling the screen goes blank then skips all the way to the last page of revelations, every time I read. Please fix this. It’s very annoying.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
✓ Daily DevotionsSuch a blessed tool for those that use smart phones in a world that is not so smart bless the MacArthur ministry !.Version: 2.0.7
✓ 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
✓ The best Bible study tool I have ever used!The best Bible study tool I have ever used!.Version: 2.0.2
✓ 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
✓ 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 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
✓ Still loving it!!I had trouble with the app after the update so I deleted it and then reinstalled it and it works great now! Love the commentary feature..Version: 1.6.1
✓ 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
✓ 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
✓ 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
✓ 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
✓ AppWe appreciate the app and its content and links to an array of excellent resources. Thank you for your enduring provision and faithfulness in our redeemer 🙏.Version: 2.0.8
✓ Great App for bible study toolWhat a great insight in getting notes & teachings about the word of God..Version: 1.6.5
✓ 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
✓ Best Bible app!The only bible app you need….Version: 2.0.8
✓ Amazing Bible ToolI love this app. It is so user friendly. I love the way you can read John’s notes while reading the scriptures. I find this tool invaluable. Also I use the daily devotionals and it is so convenient to have everything available in one place. Thank you John for your faithful teaching of God’s Holy Word which has been a great blessing to me. I can not recommend this App highly enough ..Version: 2.0.8
✓ A blessing, loaded with truthful teaching and resourcesThis app is well worth the small cost. It has teaching on every chapter of the Bible and details for many individual verses, all in context. Knowing that John MacArthur is committed to the teaching of scriptures in truth without compromise means sound doctrine throughout. It is very easy to cross-reference verses and click straight back to the verse where you started. In addition, there are links to audio sermons on many topics and chapters. The text of each is there too. There is the option of listening to the audio of each chapter. This is a resource from a team who honour the Lord and His holy Word for those who want to do the same..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
✓ 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
✓ 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
✓ 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
✓ 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
✓ Please fixCrashes every time I open. Great app before this last update..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Great!Best Bible app!.Version: 1.6.10
✓ Just what I wantedThis is what I was looking for in a bible app. I first heard John MacArthur in a youtube video, and felt compelled by the messages he delivered. He was straight to the point and no beating about the bush. He was bold. Likewise, his commentaries here in this app are equally the same. This bible has everything needed for a person who truly is seeking sincerely for God. It has John’s notes, devotions, link to John’s sermons, suggested prayers and further studies on passages, and no annoying ads. It is worth the money spend here. I highly recommend this study bible app to any person who is seeking God with their all. You will not be disappointed. Thank you GTY..Version: 2.0.2
✓ 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
✓ IPhone 12mini doesn’t fitHi developers, I like the app and am a subscriber, but after I downloaded this app on iPhone 12 mini, I can’t use it anymore, the size doesn’t fit and I can’t choose the chapter, please fix it so I can keep using it, thanks.Version: 2.0.8
✓ Love this appHelps me keep up with my daily devotionals each day with four devotionals to choose from. Love using the app to read and look up Scripture also. It's a go-to app everyday. Thank you Grace to You!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ 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
✓ What a blessed assetBible study companion.Version: 2.0.8
✓ 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
✓ 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
✓ Great appEasy to use, love that it connects to John's Notes. Definitely my favourite bible app yet. The updates just keep making it better. Thanks GTY..Version: 1.6.11
✓ One of the best Bible apps.A simple but brilliant Bible app - you can hide the verse numbers from the text for undistracted reading, check the helpful comments and explanations, listen to the Bible passage read to you or link to relevant devotionals and sermons. All within one nicely designed app. Thanks GTY!.Version: 2.0.7
✓ Great AppLike all GTY resources, this app is helpful and straightforward to use. It is clean and uncluttered, and quickly ushers the user to what matters; God's word!.Version: 1.5.3
✓ Small errorLooks lovely so far, but can't create an account because the submit button is outside the range of my teensy iPhone 4 screen!.Version: 1.0
✓ 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
✓ 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
✓ 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
✓ Best Free Bible AppIt is the best free bible app for serious study of the the Word of God..Version: 2.0.8
✓ MrI have been a Christian for many years, but knew little about John MacArthur. I read about John's comment on "the mark of the beast." After looking into it, I came across all that John does; I felt as though I had discovered a hidden treasure! I am not concerned about his remark that caused such controversy. The Lord has blessed both my wife and I with discernment/common sense. And to tear a man to pieces for his personal belief is very immature and unloving. John: "Keep up the good work!" Your friend in Christ, Malcy P.Version: 1.6.13
✓ Most blessed resource.What a blessed resource this “Study Bible” app from “grace to you ” is to an un-educated and untrained man like myself. Thank you so much for making it available to everyone. Henry.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Great appWonderful app with good navigation plus you can link to John MacArthur's Study Bible Recommended.Version: 1.6.14
✓ ExcellentThankful for this app being available at such a great price..Version: 1.6.1
✓ 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
✓ My favourite Bible appEasy to navigate. Love the in app purchase of the study notes.Version: 1.5.3
✓ 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
✓ 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
✓ Great resourceCan’t get too much of John’s study bible Thank you brother ! App is ok (as in average) John's content is incomparable!!.Version: 2.0.7
✓ 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
✓ Mostly TerrificI love everything about this app but now I am having a difficult time highlighting the scripture. If there are a couple scriptures close by each other, I highlight one and then when I do the next verse, the first highlight disappears. If I do the next verse after that the first two highlights disappear. I have tried restarting my iPad, restarting the app and nothing seems to work. If it’s a “Study Bible” highlights really help!.Version: 2.0.8
✓ 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
✓ What a blessing!Bible and study on the go. Anytime, every where. John's notes are so helpful when you need clarification on what you've read. And you have two choices for your preferred Version. Keep up the good work..Version: 1.6.2
✓ I love the appI do love the app, and although I was quite cynical about its capabilities after a while of using it, I’m really very impressed that the various constructive feedback of users have been taken on board, and so this bible app NOW definitely ranks among my Top Three Bible Apps I use on a daily basis alongside Tecarta Bible and WAVE Bible. Please keep up the good work. And God bless you all..Version: 1.6.17
✓ 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
✓ Great app,love itThe best bible app i have ever used,i love johns notes,well worth getting for only £4.50 exellant value,the app itself is free and has thousands of free sermons,questions and answers on the bible and other free resources which you can access,sound and accurate teaching from a well respected teacher/author you can always rely on .God bless you all.Version: 1.0
✓ AmazingVery good app I just wish it worked on my IOS3 iPod..Version: 1.6.10
✓ Just a great appIt is a great app all around..Version: 1.6.0
✓ Tried many and this is the best by farTap on the verse and it references other verses that deal with the same subject or place or concept or teaching. God can then teach you his word by using many parts of his holy scripture at the same time. Maybe other study bibles have this but this is really easy and for $10 you can download all John Macarthurs life time of bible study notes cross referenced as well. BTW the bible itself is free so not a money grab by any means. God Bless.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Best AppThis app, and Grace to you app, are fabulous to have on your phone, so glad I found them both!!!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ 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
✓ HelpfulQuick and efficient easy to use with very helpful resources..Version: 2.0.7
✓ Love itBest review Bible app.Version: 2.0.2
✓ 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
✓ Love this appEasy access to the scripture, I love listening to the bible being read as I am working. I highly recommend this app..Version: 1.6.2
✓ ExcellentBest of all if want 1 bible app!!!.Version: 1.6.14
✓ DeanLove this Bible App! And even better with the Study notes..Version: 2.0.7
✓ Still CrashingApp was working until last update. Opens then crashes. Please fix, I miss reading using this app. Twelve days and counting..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Needs improvement on iPhone XWould love to use this app, but it needs refining on iPhone X. Doesn’t work well with the notch. Thanks for the good work.Version: 2.0.2
✓ 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
✓ Great study bible appVery easy to navigate, I love the dual versions and easy access to study notes..Version: 1.6.0
✓ 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
✓ Good appThe app is a good research tool great for cross referencing and study , slight down side and I hope it is my iPad , the app occasionally hangs than resets itself , I'm sure the team will sort it out , would be great to include a Greek interlinear down the track the revised version of this app still has an issue where in resets back to rev 22 does anyone else have this issue.Version: 1.6.0
✓ Excellent ResourceThis is an extremely useful app. I have been greatly helped by John MacArthur's preaching and teaching over the years. To have the ESV Bible with John MacArthur's study notes plus direct links to his sermons and writings within the one app is awesome. Select John's notes on a verse and not only will you get cross-references and an explanation, but you will get direct links to his articles, sermons, etc. which covered this verse. This app would be a wonderful resource to encourage a new believer and help them get to grips with the wonderful Word of our Lord, the Almighty God and Creator of the universe..Version: 1.0.2
✓ 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
✓ 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
✓ 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
✓ 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
✓ Great but has bug after updateHi, this app is the best, but following the recent update it closes each time it try's loading the notes that accompany a verse or verses. It still shows the cross references. The notes are very helpful and informative, so please try and fix this. As of 30th April, it is not loading resources, please fix..Version: 1.6.12
✓ Great App But…The only thing that I wish the developers would improve with this app concerns highlighting. When you highlight a text, the page automatically jumps from the current page/view to the top of the page or previous chapters. Please fix the app so that when you highlight a verse, the page and view stay fixed and doesn’t jump to previous chapters or to the top of the page..Version: 2.0.8
✓ IPad app crashesThis is a phenomenally helpful app. I recommend it continually. However after the latest update, the iPad app crashes before it opens up. (My iPhone app works just fine) Would love to have this up and running again. Thanks. (16 April 2016).Version: 1.6.1
✓ 905 Bill5+++ stars Great app with so much info. Everything in one place. Great for Bible studies. Had a little trouble at the beginning trying to set up an account but it's all good now. :-D)).Version: 1.6.5
✓ 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
✓ Love it!I am grateful I am getting accurate biblical information and learning more and more how to really read the Bible. I like that it offers a “sepia” setting for reading so it isn’t as hard on my eyes. I am glad there is audio as well because with four children it’s sometimes is much easier to listen and go back later to my actual bible. The only thing I wish was different is that it had an Apple Watch app so I could access it there as well..Version: 2.0.8
✓ ExcellentIt is excellent app, it helps a lot for Bible study and easy to use ; God Bless you.Version: 1.6.11
✓ 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
✓ 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
✓ 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
✓ GTY Bible Study App and NotesThis app, along with the notes by Pastor John MacArthur, has really helped my understanding of God's word. It is an excellent tool and very easy to use..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Please fix for iPhone 13 miniBrilliant app! But please fix the display for iphone 13 mini which cuts the search and selection of books off. Thanks.Version: 2.0.8
✓ GTY Study BibleI have many tools for Studying Gods Word , this is one that I use more than most, it’s accurate, easy to access , reliable & has a great number of Study Resources for life & ministry.Thanks to all that work at GTY.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
✓ Tops allI'm indeed grateful to Grace To You Community Church for helping me gradually to be a bible scholar. It serves it all. Bravo!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ An excellent study BibleA brilliant resource from the GTY team! You'll struggle to find a better iOS study bible ... especially with the extensive study notes from Dr MacArthur..Version: 1.6.2
✓ 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
✓ Eli-tenThe bible app is so helpful to me each night me and my little ones read some chapter and i make it appoint we read Psalm 23 first my kids ages 5 and 4 I wanted to introduce at the early age the Words of God and I’m so thankful to Grace to you app.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Other VersionsThis is a great app for church and study. It would be even better if there was an option to purchase other versions (NIV etc).Version: 2.0.8
✓ BlessedWhat an excellent app - opens the Word of God to believers and unbelievers alike. Quick and easy to use!.Version: 2.0.3
✓ 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
✓ 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
✓ Love it!I read it daily and it is awesome..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
