User Reviews

Users praise the app’s rich scholarly content, easy navigation, strong search, and note-saving features, making it a valuable Lutheran study tool. The biggest recurring concerns are the subscription model, device compatibility across iPad/Mac and OS versions, and offline access limitations. Users also want audio narration and minor UI/formatting improvements (highlights management and font options). Overall, the app is highly regarded for content and usability, but pricing and cross-device/offline support remain key issues.

Pros

Rich, well-curated study notes, charts, maps, and concordia commentary.
Easy to navigate with a well-laid-out interface, making references and notes quick to access.
Powerful search feature that helps locate passages and references quickly.
Ability to save passages and annotate notes, facilitating study and organization.
High-quality scholarship and readability that appeals to Lutheran study and learning.

Cons

Subscription pricing model is a major drawback for many users; many want a one-time purchase instead of ongoing fees.
Cross-device compatibility issues, with notably limited support on iPad and Mac (OS constraints mentioned).
Offline access problems; the app does not work offline or access paid features offline.
Missing audio narration/read-along feature, which several users would like to have.
UI/formatting/accessibility gaps, including difficulty deleting highlights and limited font options/typography adjustments.

How is it that this will not work offline?

The paid app regularly takes between 10-20 minutes to open. While I enjoy the footnotes and commentaries, I find myself oftentimes opening up another ESV Bible app for the sake of convenience.
