User Reviews

Users consistently praise The Study Bible for access to John MacArthur notes and sermons, high-quality teaching, long-term usefulness, and an organized, easy-to-use interface. However, the app suffers from recurring login/authentication problems, stability crashes after updates, paid notes/resources disappearing, and a persistent navigation bug that can jump to Revelation 22, interrupting reading.
Pros
  • Access to John MacArthur notes and sermons within the app
  • High-quality teaching/content from MacArthur
  • Long-term usefulness; used for years
  • Organized and easy-to-use interface with quick cross-references
Cons
  • Frequent login/authentication problems (sessions expiring, 'your login is no longer valid')
  • Stability issues: crashes/freezes after updates and during use
  • Paid resources/notes disappearing or becoming inaccessible after updates
  • Navigation/scroll bug that jumps to Revelation 22 (and Genesis 1) while reading
Recent reviews
Without a doubt this Bible app provides us with some of the most faithful commentary and study resources in our generation. I have been using this app for years, and have enjoyed it so much. However, the recent update which aimed to overhaul the user interface and experience has taken one step forward and two steps back. It’s nice and sleek, but it’s not as intuitive as it once was. Instead of clicking on a verse to bring up isolated commentary on that one verse, you now have to swipe to go to a whole new page dedicated to just commentary. Alternatively you can click on a verse and swipe up. Either way, swiping this and that direction back and forth between text and commentary isn’t as simple as clicking on and off a verse. I’ve also noticed the loss of some very basic features. For example, you can no longer highlight or copy multiple verses at once. Then there are small bugs. If you click on a verse to give you options for what to do with it (e.g. copy, share), a little panel pops up. There’s an “X” to dismiss this panel, but clicking on it does nothing. You have to click on the verse itself again to remove this panel. Amazing Bible commentary, less than enjoyable user experience.

A simple, well-designed tool to enjoy God’s word. The quality of John’s notes leaves nothing to be desired.
