VerseWise Bible KJV app for iPhone and iPad

I spent a lot of time (and some money) downloading and evaluating the other Bible apps. Some require a network connection (?!?!), others include the Apocrypha, most have bad user interfaces (UI). One had words spoken by Peter and others in red! While VerseWise doesnt have a "red letter edition" (yet?), it does have -- by far -- the best UI Ive seen in Bible apps available here. The bookmarks work a differently than I expected, but it automatically remembers the last chapter you read. Nice. The author added the nice touch of slightly separating the book types (Pentateuch, poetical, etc.) without making it clumsy. Dont waste your time or money on other apps. Even the free ones. For as low cost as this is, this is not only worth it, but very well done. Kudos!

Go the iphone main Settings icon and choose your text size. Larger text is really nice if you forget your glasses. Moving up and down the page is very smooth as is flipping to the next page. I would be a little worried if I was Amazon. Reading on the iphone is pleasant experience. Watch out Kindle. Bob

Not sure what the other reviewer was going on about (Levi) this is exactly what I was looking for! This is a really cool, simple, quick reference tool. One really neat feature is how you can swipe across the screen to navigate forward or back through chapters, very intuitive once you discover this feature. Good Job! I think the price is fair for this one.

This is very good 4 church it is also gud 2 hav this with me at all times it is very easy 4 me 2 locate the verses in church without having 2 do a lot of flipping if u like click yes

It is definitely preferable to have the text stored locally rather than on the web. Its faster and does not depend on network access being available when you want to read your Bible. This reader provides a nice clean interface that is easy to use and responsive. With the choice of landscape or portrait modes and different font sizes it is also very readable. I look forward to future updates with more features.

This is a great, simple Bible application. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a simple KJV Bible on the iPod touch or iPhone.

I am sick of seeing people write that they want the words of Christ in red. To them I say take note: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God" (2 Timothy 3:16) and "The words I speak to you, I do not speak on my own authority; but the Father who dwells in me does the works." (John 14:10) I hope you are now enlightened.

...no search, hints are annoying, a daily read would be nice, colored verse numbers would help, but okay for $2.99.

The newest update has resolved the network connectivity issue where the app continuously attempted to connect to the network, rapidly depleting the iPhone battery. The current version unfortunately has a challenge keeping your place when the app is quit for a more than a few minutes, or the iPhone is restarted. The "skip chapter selection" option is still correctly set so the app should "remember" your last read location in the Bible, but all it seems to "remember" is the last book of Bible you were reading. Since this is a paid app, the developer has admirably tried to respond to challenges and deficiencies. Much appreciated and highly valued! Hope to see a fix to the new bug resulting from fixing the last set of bugs soon. The current version tries to connect to facebook immediately after launching the app. Without a facebook account or network connectivity the app perpetually tries to connect and does not time out. This bug drains the iPhone 4 battery very quickly. In settings an option to log off of facebook exists. But no option is provided to prevent or disable this app from trying to connect to facebook upon launch. It just automatically tries and will not stop until you quit the application. Be warned, if you do not want this application to connect to facebook automatically every time its launched, you will have no choice other than launching the app, quitting it, and re-launching again. To the designers of this app: not everyone wants a facebook account, and with all the security and privacy challenges facebook experiences, not everyone wants their Bible app to automatically connect to facebook without the ability to control this behavior. Recommend either disabling this "buggy feature", providing the default behavior as "not to connect to facebook" without user choice, or provide ability to turn facebook connection off.

In the Authorized King James Version of the Apocrypha, the last chapter and verse in II Esdras is 16:78,1&2 Ezra is wrong and there is no 3 John in the Authorized KJV. This is a bogus app with the AUTHOR reauthoring what he feels should be the way the bible should be structured. DONT waste your money on thus sham of an app. The REAUTHOR PUT AN orthodox apocrypha in an Authorized KJV bible. If you want an Authorized KJV Apocrypha, theres only 1 in the app store and its 99¢. I know because unfortunately i purchased all of them. I e-mailed the RE-AUTHOR of this app on his online forum you can check and he said thats what he did and defended it. Deserves -100 stars.

This latest update for VerseWise is nothing like the original version, which I quite liked. Of course, I am exaggerating a bit, but enough has changed that I cant say Im impressed with it anymore. One of my biggest complaints is that you can no longer change the text size in-app. Which means if I want a larger (or smaller) font size, I have to close the app, dig through the settings, and change the font size for ALL text on my iPod. Whoever redesigned this app should be ashamed. It was PERFECTLY FINE before, so why change it??? This is the first time in years Ive seriously considered switching to YouVersion. Please either fix it or offer a "classic" version for us diehards that hate change.
