Pros and cons of The Reformation Study Bible app for iPhone and iPad
The Reformation Study Bible app good for
I love this app, it has everything I was looking for! Though it comes with ESV, you have the option to buy a NASB version... which I did. Unfortunately all the cross references etc only apply on the ESV and were not put into the NASB.
I hope this is fixed so I can give this app the 5 stars it deserves--as of right now, I should have kept with YouBible (as it is free), because I cant access the apps features outside of ESV anyway :P
This is the best Bible app available. I use it everyday for devotional reading and study. As a pastor, it is my first (but not only) place to go for sermon prep and teaching prep. The Study notes are invaluable.
I am wondering though, when this app will be updated to the newer version of the print Reformation Study Bible that came out 18 months ago? I know that many more study notes were added. I also know there are other Bible versions available. It would be wonderful if the app could be updated to include these. I sure hope you are working on it! Thanks!
Some bad moments
I cant say enough good things about this app. It is worth every penny and more. I use it every day.
Extensive, feature-rich, well thought out. Solid programming.
Certainly the content of the app justifies the cost! Its a wonderful resource. I do wish, however, that more had been done to increase the aesthetics of the app, both its icon and its interface. Whoever Ligonier normally outsourced to seems to put a great deal more in to designing than AcroDesign does, unfortunately.
I love this reformation study bible. In church, I can read along with my preacher. There is absolutely no problems with this bible! God is our only God, and he gives us strength!
My husband is in Seminary and this is the best tool any pastor, student and everyone else could ask for. The extensive cross refrencing, study instruction, information is amazing!I have learned so much and it is by far the best deal I have ever seen. You get the bible, the research and cross reference information, and tons more. You will not ever find a better deal and now that its universal, well, I couldnt be happier! Thank you for an amazing gift, we love this app!
This is my favorite all-around bible app. It has everything you really need (excellent highlighting, inline notes [like this], Greek NT with basic parsing info, Eastons Dictionary, Spurgeons Daily JFB commentaries). Comes with ESV but NASB/NIV/NKJV are only $5 each. Probably my favorite feature is the excellent study notes, and how easily they are accessed with one tap. If I could only have one bible app, this would be it. Other apps are good for certain things (YouVersion: Devotionals, ESV Audio; Bible.Is: Dramatized ESV Audio Devotionals; PocketSword: Everything from Public Domain - Luther & Calvins commentaries, Greek Bibles, etc), but the RSB is amazingly complete and well-worth $9.99. Consider how expensive Mantis and Glo are (RSB is a $19.99 addon for Mantis). Get it now!!!!!
