My gosh, I've had Olive Tree for years. Before that, I had Logos, back when it came on 3 1/2" disks. My gosh. But this isn't about Logos. It is about Olive Tree. First, an anecdote about why the NIV is my English translation of choice. It is excellent. But, perhaps even a bit edgy. In Revelation 1:3, most translations translate the Greek, "reads" as English "reads". It makes sense. After all, that is the the 1 for 1 translation. It is safe... it is bland... But the NIV translates it as "reads aloud" what??? Why? Because, if you look closely, the context demands it. Good for the NIV! Courage! Scholarship! I like having confidence in the solidity of the translation I'm using and in the hearts of those those worked on it. Glen Barker of Fuller was one... devoted scholar and Christian... he taught our adult SS class at Lake Avenue Congregational Church where I was SS leader. And where (Fuller) I had attended grad school. But, enough about the NIV. Here is why I endorse the Olive Tree bible study system. When you open the Bible, there are little numbers and letters that either give you a short sentence about the text, or take you to a picture-in-picture cross reference to another verse. You can keep clicking on these a buncha times until you are way far removed from the text. Let's talk more... if you have a 2nd translation you frequently check, you can slide it open. And... it is linked to chap and verse where you're at in the NIV or any other primary text choice. Let's talk more... Strong's links to the word you choose. It can give you lots of info... as much as Strong's, the book can. But more accurately, blinding speed faster, and cheaper than buying the page-flipping book. Let's talk more... Arndt & Gingrich (or equivalent), the same. Let's talk more... Brown, Driver, and Briggs (or equivalent) the same. To my knowledge, even tho I don't own every app, they're all linked; maps, biblical encyclopedias, etc. nice job, Olive Tree!

Pretty Good, Missing Some Important Features
12/18/2022

The software is pretty good, but it is missing some important features. 1st, there is no way to attach anything in notes, such as of sermon/class handouts, slideshow pictures, or pictures taken with a camera. I have to use Apple's OCR Scan Text for pictures and paste the words into the notes for each sermon/class, but that still means any photos/pictures aren't included and instead I have to make a comment to view photos taken on that day to view pictures I took of handouts or slideshow.2nd, it would be helpful if default templates could be made so new notes would start with a certain set of words and paragraphs since sermons/classes follow a pretty set format. What I have done as a workaround is I just created some notes which I copy and then paste into a new note I create for each sermon/class, but it is annoying.Other than the issue with notes listed above everything is good. I'd give the software 5/5 stars if it wasn't for the inconvenience of not being able to have attachments as that is the biggest issue.

We appreciate this great feedback! I have forwarded this to our development team for further evaluation. Please note that it can take time to consider and implement new features. Thank you for your patience!

Simply a blessing! Been using now for four years. I preach at a prison four days a week, then I take the same men out and we work together. And this app is my main tool. It enables me to save my scriptures that my pastor teaches on from sermons at my church and refreshes me as I put together sermons for Monday through Thursday. I like the search capability when I am building sermons as well. I spend time with many people that are un-churched and non-scriptural if you will, So this thing is extremely helpful. That doesn’t sound very technical because when you’re out in the street, life is not technical, It is spiritual. I would like for all the people involved in this project to know that you are blessing many many folks especially myself, and all the people whose lives I am blessed to be able to touch. I would like to thank you very very much and please continue your work in Jesus name.

God’s Words and your app changed my life
06/21/2022

God Owns My Human Heart
I truly believe the Bible is omnipresent and God’s revealed words to the writers! So many times I will be looking for answers of what I should do, or help to stand under physical, emotional, or daily needs that I have no clue where it will come from. God has used your website from the Daily Bible verses that pop up, to comparing the different versions of the Bible, to writing notes of thoughts that pop in my head as I surf through your website, as well as fictional and non fictional Christian book quoting Bible versus, and Christian songs quoting Bible verses. I want you and everyone to know this, because I find all this help from your free part of the app. Thank you so much. It has truly changed my life from not just devotional times, but anytime I want and/or need the Bible as I the path of this life until I reach the Golden Gates of God’s heaven that Jesus has prepared for me!
