User Reviews

Reviews consistently praise the Orthodox Study Bible app for its up-to-date support, one-time purchase model, and strong study-tools. Users highlight that it mirrors the OSB text closely, includes cross-references and integrated footnotes, and offers text-to-speech for listening. The app’s simple, intuitive design and on-the-go accessibility are also noted as major benefits. Common concerns center on missing search functionality, and limited or lower-quality TTS voices with few options. Some fans also suggest enhancements like highlight-color search and embedding external audio. Overall, a leading OSB option with room for feature improvements.

This app is just what I was looking for. Carrying around the physical OSB can be difficult. Especially if you are looking to avoid damaging its thin pages. Only a one time payment of $10 to always have access to the Bible and all footnotes that you find in the physical version. The developer also leaves detailed steps on how you can change the AI voice that can read to you. The app will also keep your place (it makes note of what chapter you are on). I’d recommend this to any orthodox person with a smart phone. So many other resources are included as well besides the Holy Bible. So grateful for this!

I really love this Bible app, but I don’t know how many scriptures are missing or wrong. I went to read Psalm 91 and it is clearly not the correct psalm in the Bible app. Please fix it and I’ll give you 5 starts.
