NET Bible (Formerly Lumina)

The NET Bible has become a valuable resource for me in my study of The Word of God—The notes are a tremendous aid! The application, however, I found has just has two pieces of minor improvements that I think could be made: First, when you try to access a study note at the foremost top of the screen/page, sometimes bits the note will be out of view and offscreen. I have to select the verse at a different starting position, to get the verse to be lower down on the screen, so I am able to view the study note in its entirety. Second, it would be nice if the app had a “continuous scroll” feature to change to in the settings. By default, in order to proceed on to the next bit of scripture, you have to “turn the page” like a book. Again, the suggestions are minor and not a dealbreaker for me to use the app! Thank you to everyone who worked on this app to make this content completely free and for the NET translation! It is a major gift!

This app worked well on my 8 Plus but on my new 15 plus it uses the top line of the screen to choose the menu or the book, chapter and verse, or search or font. This is a serious issue as the phone uses that area as well. You can’t open the menu at all. If you continually tap the book, chapter verse on the right side of the oval (as the black oval blocks the words) sometimes the book, chapter, verse comes up, same with font, search (though you can see these) only once in awhile. Very sad as I liked this app a lot.

One of my favorite translations and study Bible apps, but the option to scroll rather than swipe would be nice. What a great resource, regardless! Search function hasn’t been working at all for days. Was one of the best searches. Still great notes, but some bug fixes would be nice.

How does one find and access them?

Love the NET translation and this beautiful app! (when Lumina first came out, it was ahead of its time). But the app hasn’t been updated in 3 years and it’s missing original language tools and other features of the desktop version. Would love to see this app get the same love and treatment as other Bible tools. I’d even support with a small subscription to support development so it can remain free for most users. Thomas Nelson, if you read these , you got something special with this app. Please invest in it.

I am familiar with the NET Bible and enjoy referencing the notes, but I have repeatedly downloaded the NET Bible app, and am unable to use it. Nothing that I tap on allows me to select books of the Bible. I am left with only being able to turn page by page. The the app extends all the way to the top of the phone screen so that the time and connection bars and battery information overlaps the top of the app.

Without a doubt, this bible is the most complete online version of the NET bible translation . And , here’s why. After visiting the NET official website, you will notice that the complete bible ,with notes, is too large of a file for a Kindle. And, due to the extensive nature of the information in the Bible, it is easy to see why. If you see an online review of the printed NET Study Bible with all the notes,it’s packed. And , they are formatted to view on each page. The text itself is often smaller than the notes on a page. They mimicked that well by making the notes selectable in the background, so to speak. They open up pop up’s that often scroll through its own set of paragraphs and explanations. Very detailed, but might be too busy for some. I’m not a bible scholar , but appreciate that all the printed bible content is right there. And, as notes change by the translation teams, my guess is they will update with their own discussion as to why they were modified. And, it’s free to download and read, and easy to navigate. My suggestion is give it a try!

I usually use the NET website, my Thinline NET Bible, or the you version app for my reading. I downloaded the app believing it would be basically the same as the website, but no dice. No audio options! Bummer as I really love to read & listen and go back and forth between the two throughout my days. NET team, thank you for the best Bible translation I’ve come across in 28 years as a believer, BUT…y’all need to get into the audio game! Perhaps add the audio to this app, or at least the dwell or youversion apps?! Pretty please!!

Great app and nice layout to read the NET Bible on the iPad in landscape mode. One suggestion: Please make the translation and study notes available to view in a ‘split-screen’ view and sync alongside of the Bible text for the iPad and/or iPhone. Please and thank you! Soli Deo Gloria!

I love this app n I use multiple devices . Will this app version ever be available on Android????
