Life Bible App 4+

I have been looking for a good bible app for years. While the popular Bible app works well for basic reading, its feature set is too restrictive for me to be useful for in depth bible study. Take highlighting/underlining as an example. The Bible app, which I had been using mainly due to a lack of better alternatives, allows you to select complete verses only, which is problematic when you want to highlight parts of the verse in one color, another part in another color. Life Bible app supports that and so many other features that I didn’t even know I would appreciate so much (cross translation highlighting/notes references and study/commentary, for example). Beyond the Bible app I have tried many all other apps like Bible Study, Bible Gateway, Blue Letter Bible, and most recently Bible Chat. While they all have some things they do well (Blue Letter Bible great for word study, Bible Chat great for AI generated answers straight from the Bible), overall their design often lacks in appeal and simplicity. I could go on and on what a fresh breath of air Life Bible has been for me, and the annual subscription is 100% worth it for me. If you’re unsure download and try for yourself. They give you a whole month to try out without any commitment. If I could give this app 10 stars, I would without hesitation. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

NOT the version I raved to others about.

I bought this Bible app several years ago after trying some others. The Tecarta app was the hands-down winner. But that was then. A few days ago, I noticed my app icon was different - I hadn't updated it, but I found a whole new, visually pleasing version had made a home on my phone. I played around, trying to find the features I have enjoyed for so long. Where it was user-friendly before, now I see that it takes a tutorial to learn all the twists and turns. Admittedly, I have not watched any instructive videos, and IF I can do that and gain the necessary skills that will make it worthwhile for all the time and effort the developers have put into this latest version, I will boost my rating accordingly. I have interacted with Victor (?) a time or two, and found a "listening ear@. Personally, I'm not sold yet, but I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt. I'll reserve my final judgement 'til a later time.
UPDATE: It's now been a couple of weeks of me watching some videos and "wandering around" in the new graphics and features. I'm starting to like it and am upping my rating from 2 stars to 4. As pretty as it is, I'm not giving 5 stars because it's simplicity is what sold me on it originally. I understand that it's very difficult to get the right balance of features and the K.I.S.S. principle. Tecarta is still my only Bible app.

Excellent biblical resources and not pushy for sales!

I’ve had the Tecarta Bible app for over seven years and it has been a consistent, convenient and accurate resource for Bibles study Bibles devotionals, commentaries and I believe concordances. Recently, Tecarta upgraded their app with a smooth transition and more features and along with those features were provided a tutorial. Some of the features that I enjoy are the automatic scroll, being able to scroll fast or slower, being able to listen to the Bible in different voices male-female or with theatrical music and sound effects in the background. In addition to that, Tecarta offers Bible reading plans. I don’t want to forget to mention several color highlighters plus setting options from voice speed to side-by-side translations. I can go on and on about this application. Finally I want to say that all Bible resources are offered at a free 7 day trial and Tecarta is never pushy or forces me into making purchases but I have made a few purchases because I was able to do it on my terms and at my convenience. I enjoy the new resources and I would have never known about some of them or even brought them were it not for the trial periods. I give five stars and rave reviews for this app! I see myself using this app for many more years to come!
