## First Principles Description
Have you ever wanted to share a scripture with someone but didn’t have your Bible with you, or couldn’t remember the reference? Now you can have all the scriptures of your favorite study series with you everywhere you go. You can always be ready to make the most of every opportunity!

“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” 1 Peter 3:15

Helpful Tips:

• You can expand any underlined scripture reference to the full scripture by just tapping on it.

• You can copy part or all of a study and then paste it into another app or into an email to send to a friend. Just tap and hold on the text you want to select, then use the blue selection dots to expand the selection to as much of the study as you want. Then tap Copy on the selection popup menu. Then switch to the other app and paste into it.

• You can change the text size in the studies by tapping the settings button (looks like a gear), then tapping the little A to make text smaller, or the big A to make text larger.

• If you see any formatting or content errors in any of the studies, or if you have ideas on how we can improve the app, tap the settings button in the home screen and tap “Email feedback”.

## First Principles Reviews in United States

### *---- "App has ONE study"
This app is nothing like it is presented before you download it. It only contains the study from 1993 and the font is wonky. ICOC is a cult anyway
-- Jvfyijvdstuhc, 2025-11-08

### *---- "Needs software update"
I’ve shared this app with a handful of folks who are unable to see the studies in the list view and thus unable to use the app as intended. It looks like this app isn’t maintained currently (4 years since the last update) and potentially the new iOS versions we have are not compatible with the current software. Hopefully that will change soon since this can be such a useful resource for folks.
-- Jo_@o, 2024-05-12

### ***** "Unable to see all studies"
I just downloaded and see that the latest version update was suppose to fix the bug where iOS is unable to see all the studies available, this seems to be broken again
-- Wigglsmchappy, 2023-11-08

### ***** "Can’t figure out how to get additional books"
I have friends who have multiple books on their app and I can’t seem to figure out how to get any additional ones besides First Principles. For example, you can see the additional books on this page
-- WealthAddict, 2023-04-24

### *---- "Kip McKean"
Thanks to Kip McKean for writing the original First Principles studies in the 90’s... I see each icoc church has changed them and reorganized them, or even deleted some entire studies.. proves the ICOC is full of autonomous congregations, each doing as they see fit. 

If you want the original studies reach out and I’ll send them to you or even take you through them :) 6145512200! 

Let’s solidify our faith, unify disciples so we can multiply!
-- Frequent flier 1, 2021-02-17

### ***-- "Bugs"
I’m only seeing blank screen when I try to open studies. So excited to use these as I study with people.
-- makhinson, 2020-02-12

### ***** "Great to have on hand"
My studies were so good but convicting to call myself to be higher.
-- Cocolynn3, 2019-05-23

### ***** "Amazing Resources for True Disciple of Christ"
Thank you for making this app for us to keep studying & growing in our knowledge. A great resource & tool indeed!
-- MomoDomo91, 2019-04-18

### ***** "Kelsie Joshua Portland Church ofChrist"
I thank God for you putting together these study series.  It has been invaluable in helping my mother become a Disciple before she died with joy in her heart.  My sister is close to death today at the University of Michigan Hospital.  I pray That God will use these studies to help her as well.  Please pray for my sister Tanya Council.  Thank you!!!
-- Ironmonk06, 2019-04-14

### ***** "Collaborative and free resource!"
Great app! Love having multiple resources from various church fellowships. One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all...

Many resources, free and user friendly interface 

Thanks for putting all these resources together to share
