I am noticing that some reviews are related to the NET translation and some for the app. I am rating the app, not the translation. Four stars because it is very easy to use and makes it easy to check the translation notes, which is the distinctive feature of the NET translation. I took a star off because although the search feature is very fast, it lacks granularity. For a text the size of the Bible search is not very helpful unless there is a way to filter/sort the query.

Easy to use app, an A. Talked with the developers and translators at Society of Biblical Literature convention for years while this was in the works. Theologically I found them a bit to my right, but they were dedicated to using the best texts available (some conservatives insist the text behind the KJV – which is filled with later additions – must be God's word. Nope, this is based on best texts available. If it doesn't have a verse the KJV has, the KJV, based on the Greek text of Erasmus is the problem, not the 'real' version. A+ for that. Human language is not literal, it is filled with figures of speech. I think the NET leans a bit too much for translating idioms literally instead of looking for the modern English idiom, B+ there. There is no perfect Bible translation, but this is darn good.

the latest release did not work well with my android phone. Caused memory problems and I could not actually get it to work. Before that release, it was excellent.

I like Whycliffe Bible translators and this version is easy to understand, however my question to the developers is why I'm not seeing Matthew 17:21 on my version. I've decided to uninstall it. Matthew 6: 13 leaves out for 'thine is the kingdom the power and the glory for ever amen.'

My favorite Bible app yet. Would just like to know how to move your bookmarks/notes once you buy a new phone. Would also like to be able to change the font. Not a fan of times new Roman.
