YouVersion BibleReviews of bible.com

I love this app, its been a real blessing since my walk has been renewed. I have trouble reading hard copy books in this tech age, and the app has bridged that gap for me - especially making it easy to find specific books, verses, and comparing translations. I went to trustpilot to research before I made a donation and was astounded by the negative review comments. I've been using the app for 7 months everyday and I find the criticisms unfounded - I have not seen pop-ups, gotten spam or unsolicited messaging. While there is an invitation to donate, it is static and not at all inappropriate. There are also critiques of devotionals for various reasons, and to this my reaction is that I truly appreciate the tools offered related to the Bible, and while I use the devotionals they are not touted as Gospel. It is upon us to be discerning. Christians are all the body of Christ but we have varying levels of theological background and likely different church affiliations, so if we dont agree on commentary take that as a learning opportunity and stick to the gospel for the final word.

Ik vind het gebruik van deze bijbel -ap wel fijn. Je kan snel een bepaald bijbelvers opzoeken of door middel van een paar steekwoorden vinden wat je specifiek zoekt. Maar de luister versie van bijvoorbeeld een leesplan is uitgevoerd door middel van AI. Dat is io zich niet erg maar doe dan wel een eindcontrole alvorens het de mensen bereikt. Zodat het ook helemaal klopt. Bijbelvers nummers uitspreken alsof het ineens een tijdsaanduiding is, getuigt niet van veel kwaliteit en doet afbreuk aan de Bijbel, hetgeen is Gods Woord: Heilig en Waarachtig. Liever hoor ik een echt persoon die de overdenkingen uitspreekt met intonatie.

found your sticker on a seashell, I don't consider polluting a beautiful beach very 'godly'

Some of us don’t even have extra $10 every month and asking us for $25 every month to spread the word of God is not welcoming. It turn off new born again and sinner’s alike. Let people donate if they feel like.

I like the ability to highlight and take notes on verses. I don't like to highlight my physical bible so if I'm reading in that and find a verse that I want to highlight or write a note on, I just open up the youversion app and make my notes there. I do agree with others who've mentioned some questionable teachings for some of the bible plans. This is a great place to get into scripture regularly, but not a great place to learn sound doctrine. For example, I just read in one of the devotions today that Jesus spoke in parables because "there's power in a story". That is completely unscriptural and Jesus himself states why he spoke in parables. I don't know if the people who write these don't actually know scripture, or if they are misusing it for the sake of making a point in their devotion. But someone should be proof reading these to make sure that they are not teaching lies.

Tell Rachel Scott to slow down! I love your app but remember that not everyone can understand your USA accent when your words tumble out at 100mph!! I speak here for all the kiwis in NZ. Ngā mihi nui. Gary

I have a few Bibles. Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, whatever you like. I am a Bible scholar. I happen to have many of them. I hate spam. In just a few months, my firewall blocked 4,000 spams. " freely you have received, now, freely give". I don't like people that try to FORCIBLY charge money for the word of God. Every time that happens, I understand more what Jesus did when he overturned the money changers tables. Can you explain 3,896 spams? I don't think you can. You are fired. I will buy a good Bible when I see one. This isn't it. I hope we understand each other now.

I’ve noticed that within the Plans, some Bible verses are repeated. For example, the devotional and verses for Day 1 and Day 15 were the same. This is a bit disappointing, as there are hundreds of verses throughout Scripture that could be used to convey the message for that specific plan.
