My "Go to" Bible
08/04/2024

Biblehearted
Since the days of Palm, Blackberry and other PDA's, it's amazing that there are literally dozens of different translations and dozens of different commentaries available at ones fingertips. Olive Tree's app is easy to access and easy to use (and this by someone not the least bit tech savvy), with their Resource Guide handily cross referencing Bibles, commentaries, dictionaries, and other reference materials... even one's personal notes. I use it for my individual Bible study/daily devotions, and my husband uses it in far more detail and depth for his sermon prep.. It can be as simple or complex as someone wants to make it, and there is no lack of choices in Olive Tree's library. It moves a bit more smoothly than Laridian, is far simpler to navigate that Accordance, and is more affordable than Logos... One thing to note... When you purchase books, I recommend you always go through their website instead of buying them through the app... 1. If there's a problem you can return the book for a full refund, 2. You can earn points and get discounts... One thing I would improve... The search engine... When a word or phrase is searched, it only searches the book that is open... (As opposed to Laridian which will search your entire library...) After using a number of computer programs, PDA and other Bible apps for years, I find that Olive Tree is the app I start with, end with, and use the most in between...

This app is amazing for anyone, regardless of their level of bible study. I am amazed how well the parallel window with notes for study tracks where I am in my bible. Recently, I downloaded a version of the Evidence Study Bible notes from the Olive Tree store. The print version of this bible is only available in the NKJV and the KJV (a little harder to find). I love both those versions but I found out the versatility of the Olive Tree software when I changed translations while reading a particular passage. So, while switching translations from, say, the KJV, ESV, NIV, and even the Message, the notes remain in the parallel window and track through what ever Bible you choose. Additionally, the ESV study bible through Olive Tree bible software navigates with its own parallel window of the massive notes and articles right there for clarification and study. I also have a Kindle version of the ESV study bible as well as the NIV study bible. The Olive Tree software is superior to navigating through the notes and study. There are negative reviews of study bibles through Kindle, and I would have to agree that they are glitchy. Olive Tree, like any other bible software, has its own personality, so to speak, but once learning it, its been a fantastic enhancement to my studies. Also, and most importantly, the app has amazing free features to test out. Well done Olive Tree.

I’ve been using this app for several years now. I love the resources that tag to verses. I learn so much more with the commentaries and dictionaries I’ve purchased over the years. One new feature (or new to me) is the audio piece. Dear developer and who ever thought this up, THANK YOU!! I had been buying audio bibles by the book in iBooks ( way more expensive) because all audio bibles go by track numbers. -which drove me absolutely nuts! But you actually made it not only down to the book but to the verse! That was worth buying the complete audio bible all over again. Even in the iBooks, the smaller books were often lumped together so it was hard to simply listen to say Galatians. Best of all, I carry an entire library with me in my pocket where ever I go. I love to dig into the historical meaning of scripture. Especially when I don't understand something. This app lets me cross reference dozens of books in an instant and get a better understanding of it. This is great for those extra content study bibles like archeology study bible or thomspons chain reference. I dont have to worry about buying the right version of those now. I can point the study notes to what ever version I feel like reading. I still have a physical copy of the bible. But it collects dust now. This app is my go-to. Way to go for a superior app. Keep up the awesome work!

I’ve been with the Olive Tree platform for a long, long time. I am a huge fan and have evangelized others to its many virtues. It has literally transformed my Bible study. I can’t say enough good things. BUT!….the platform is aging and significant updates are LONG OVERDUE. We are years late on getting HTML Text Editing, as well as the rather simple ability to attach documents to a note or verse (PDF, Photo, Word doc). Every update for years and years has largely been minor, glitch related bug fixes. The most recent large new feature was audio Bible, which is nice, I’m sure, but of little use to me. If I were not so heavily committed with library investments, extensive notes and highlights, I would likely have changed platforms. But I’m stuck. Thus the frustration. I’m giving it four stars because I want the dev team to give us a major full x.o point upgrade asap. Also, the backup to Evernote has not worked in a decade, but when it did, it was brilliant. I would greatly prefer to have a secondary, third party partner for backup (similar to Evernote) that adds goes beyond exclusive reliance on Olive Tree’s cloud sync. Thank you for the cloud sync, let’s keep it, it works brilliantly, but give us a backup to our backup. PLEEEEAAASSSEE do these things! This app is amazing, but it is becoming less so with every passing year.

Thank you for being a long-time user! We very much appreciate your feedback that it has been years since we had a major feature update to the app. I will be happy to pass your feedback onto our development team. We have added an external export for notes recently. It's not the same as Evernote, but it does give you an option to have your annotations outside the Olive Tree Bible App. Don't hesitate to email Customer Support at support@olivetree.com for the steps to do this. They are also happy to receive any other questions or suggestions. Blessings!
