Features & Capabilities

We offer the most influential English Bible of all time: King James Version.
The King James Bible was published in 1611 with the approval and patronage of the King James I of England and it was considered for many centuries “The English Bible”, the most accurate and most sacred Bible.
All its reputation is deserved: the language and syntax of the KJV are majestic and give authority and originality. It had a great influence on the English literature and music.


CALVIN’S COMMENTARIES

Dig into John Calvin’s commentaries for a better understanding of the Scriptures.
John Calvin (1509-1564) was a French reformer, theologian and writer who produced many sermons, theological treatises and biblical commentaries.
He wrote verse-by-verse commentaries on the majority of the books of the Old and the New Testament of the Bible.
His commentaries are a treasure trove for the pastor as well as the lay believer. They are printed still today after over 400 years and they are considered incomparable in the interpretation of the Scriptures.


CROSS-REFERENCES AND SUB-HEADINGS

Excellent Bible for study, with cross-references.
Cross-references are an essential tool that the reader can use to study the Bible. Many verses have cross-references that compare verses with similar topics. You can easily navigate from one to another.
A good set of cross-references can help you to understand the meaning of some difficult passages of the Bible.

Sub-headings are helpful to know the content of the chapters as well as an indispensable tool for readers in their search for particular passages of the Holy Bible.

User Reviews

The app offers rich Calvin commentary and easy navigation, making it a strong Bible-study tool. Users praise the depth and usefulness of the content and its free availability. However, pervasive ads, overly sensitive swipe/scroll behavior, and occasional stability issues (including Android 12 compatibility) detract from the experience. Fixing the ads UX and performance would significantly improve usability without sacrificing the valuable content.
Pros
  • Rich collection of John Calvin commentary with useful references for deeper Bible study
  • Easy to navigate and quick to search, making study efficient
  • High-quality content with helpful references; praised as one of the best commentaries
  • Free app that provides access without upfront payment
Cons
  • Ads are extremely intrusive and frequent, including long video ads that interrupt reading and trigger page changes
  • Swipe/scroll gestures are overly sensitive, causing accidental navigation to next/previous chapters and loss of reading progress
  • Stability/compatibility issues on newer Android versions (e.g., Android 12) and occasional freezing or crashes
  • Ads interfere with accessing the commentary and can cause navigation to ads or clutter the UI

The swipe gestures are far too sensitive. Whilst scrolling, it is very easy to accidentally flip to the next or previous chapter. Not only does this reset your reading progress, but it will often also trigger an ad. Unlike other Calvin's commentary apps, the ads are not banner ads or pop-up images but 15-second video ads. This happens so often that by the time I'd read the section on Galatians 5:1-3, I'd accidentally triggered 3 separate 15-second ads. At this point, I uninstalled the app.

Really good but I do have trouble with the scrolling as it jumps t the next chapter often. However, it's worth it for it's content to read the thoughts of such a great man of God, Calvin.
