I have two copies of the Life Application study Bible (larger hardback & smaller softcover), because I love it so much. It really is an invaluable resource for understanding, learning, applying what you learn, and growing in your relationship with God. I would highly recommend it to everyone! I’ve even bought them for my new Christian friends, to help them learn to love reading the Bible as much as I do. I just got the app because I wanted to have it with me on my phone for times when I don’t have one of my physical Bibles with me. I really like it so far, and I’m sure I will learn more neat things and cool features on it that I haven’t discovered yet. There’s only one thing I would suggest, that I was a little bummed about: you can’t highlight on the notes. You can highlight the Bible text, but not the notes. There is so much good information in those notes, and I have highlights and markings all throughout the notes in my physical Bibles - and I really wish it was possible to highlight them on the app as well. Other than that, I still love it! Thank you all for making such a great resource for us! I appreciate all your hard work - it has made a real impact on my life!

This is my first time using this app. What I love about this app is that it’s just like the hard copy of the book I own. Now it wasn’t easy to navigate at first, now I’m getting better at it. For me and my wife, this book is one of the most useful guide in understanding God and His character. Now the app is just as easier to carry around if we decide to go mobile. My wife loves to take notes cause she’s old school she loves her highlighters I just purchased, me on the other hand I copy paste. I don’t have the patience to write notes. However, in the notes sections of the app, if there’s a way I could highlight a word or two, it would help me navigate to bring out a point in my thoughts. Praise God for the developers who created this app, you are truly blessed for your talents and dedication. Thank you.
The best straight-forward study bible app

This app is like having the Life Application NLT Study Bible in your pocket. I much prefer this than the other apps which make you get the base app then purchase add ons or subscribe to a plan for access and still show ads. I love the New Living Translation too, it’s perfect for new or advanced readers and has become my primary daily text. It just reads so smooth and is easy to understand, cross reference all the nerd stuff later, you’ll find its trustworthy. The study bible briefly explains what you just read and how it applies to life. It has many features that are extremely useful as well. I’ve used over 20 other apps and this one is my favorite, worth every penny for me.
App update —

I have always loved this app; I have been a faithful user of this app since 2015-ish & swear by it over & over. I was scared when after years I see an update to an already amazing app getting a full makeover. However, when I say these developers put their time into thisss that’s exactly what they did. They took their time & it makes me even more appreciative for what they did. I was disappointed when I saw that the app went into a subscription model — the one time $20 rate was always a selling point for me encouraging friends to purchase; now I’m not sure what happens if you don’t subscribe— if I am grandfathered at all. Overall, an amazing app.
