VerseWise Bible KJV

I love the app, but I hate it that when I go to another app and kept this app open at the same time, it goes back to Judges chapter 19. Eveytime. I’m afraid to delete it to reinstall it because I may lose my notes.

Love this app. So much easier to navigate versus any others I’ve tried. The look and feel of this app is also superior. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is due to a search bug on the iPad version of the app. When I start to type in the search field, the search window vanishes so I have to switch to the iPhone version of the app to search for anything. Also, recently I discovered that Lamentations 1:1 is missing several punctuation marks and in Philippians 4:4 “always” should be “alway”…no “s”.

This update wiped out all the tags I have been maintaining for years. Even when I try to restore them from my iCloud back up, nothing is restored.

I really like this KJV Bible app. The mixed Bible reading plan provides daily reading from the Old Testament, Psalms, Proverbs, and the New Testament. It lists each reading so you can use your printed Bible if you’d rather not read on a device (which is great). It is not calendar specific so you can read as many days as you’d like, and you can start the plan or start a year over whenever you’d like. It keeps track so that you can start your daily reading right where you left off, even if it’s the middle of a day’s reading. Great tool. There are, of course, other tools—some are very helpful—but it’s a pretty straightforward app, which I like. If this describes something that you’re looking for, I’d encourage you to check it out.

Search feature isn’t working after recent update

I am very pleased with this app. It’s search function is great, and I love the availability of the additional books when Deutercanon is turned on in settings.

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 can't say I'm 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 I've seriously considered switching to YouVersion. Please either fix it or offer a "classic" version for us diehards that hate change.

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

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 it's absence is unacceptable. This book played a large role in history (such as with Columbus) and early 19th century Protestant revivals. For Orthodox, it's 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.

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. DON'T 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 that's what he did and defended it. Deserves -100 stars.
