VerseWise Bible KJV App Reviews

This app is easy to use right from the beginning. I shopped long and hard for a good Bible app, and I am happy with this one. It is easy to read, rotates easily from portrait to landscape, easy search ability, opens to place where you stopped reading previously. I would like to see cross referencing added, i.e., when an OT verse is quoted in NT, etc. I recommend this app.

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.

I love God and his word this app is the best king james version so far but im still looking if it would scroll through all the chapters without having to back out i would quit looking

The Word of God, cut and paste, quick searches and for just a few bucks. A person would have to be unthankful for the use of this. Thank you sooooo much for Versewise its great. Lord bless you all! ;)

This Bible is easy to use. Love the search a word, and find any text. As a older adult, this bible version is very easy to use. Thank you for making it my # 1 app.

This has to be one of the easiest Bible readers Ive ever tried. I use it daily.

I have several Holy Bible apps but, IMO, this is the best one. Its very user friendly & has great personal preference choices. The ability to have the Deutero-Canonical OT books included makes it quite friendly for Orthodox Christians who, overall, still adhere mostly to the Authorized Version. (For those who prefer the RSV, this is also available from VerseWise!). I love it!

It should have the spanish option

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.

When the King James Translation was published in 1611, it included a list of books under the heading of "Apocrypha". One of these was the Apocalypse of Ezra, otherwise labeled as 2 Esdras (labeled in the Vulgate as 4 Ezra). It is missing from this edition of the King James Apocrypha and its absence is unacceptable. This book played a large role in history (such as with Columbus) and early 19th century Protestant revivals. For Orthodox, its also important as either an intrigue or sacred text. Russian and Ethiopian Orthodox both accept the book fully as canonical scripture. Add it to this translation with haste. I require it for my studies and this app is lacking without it.

Every time I open the app it crashes. Please fix.

Great app, I can navigate quickly from book to book. Good search function. The history function is especially useful in church when the Pastor revisits a passage that he referenced earlier in the sermon. Its my pocket Bible

I have no objections. Its worth the money. I love the bible reading plan with the apocrypha included. Amazing.

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.
