Slop Free Bible

I’ve tried so many different Bible apps for reading the word on the go. This is by far the best one I’ve found. None of the pop-ups, notifications, or social media esque streaks. The lack of additional slop would have been great by itself, but I was also delighted to discover the Greek lexicon integrated in a very user friendly way. It really enables Bible study when I don’t have access to an interlinear.

Great app, but so many bugs

Love the app and it’s a very nice layout, but so many bugs which makes it annoying a couple include the following. when searching a verse or chapter and clicking on it most of the time it will take you to a completely different chapter. Say I click 1 Kings 2 it will take me to chapter 19 for some reason. Another bug is that my screen will go half black so I have to fix it by putting my ipad vertical then move it back to horizontal. Not major issues, but there’s some work to be done

NKJV

Thanks for adding the NKJV.

Nice NASB app but Please change the dictionary and add strongs reference numbers

But it would be helpful to be able to change dictionaries for the definitions of Greek and Hebrew. Like Isaiah 6:2 the word “seraphim” and in Isaiah 14:29 “flying serpent” is the same word H8314. The dictionary separates these two words and has no connection to them even though they are the same Hebrew word.

Swipe for next chapter

I would love to be able to swipe to go to next page/chapter. I would definitely give a 5⭐️ rating if added.

I hope there will be an update to change fonts because it is quite difficult to read the fonts in bold letters

The simplest kite flies best

The moment I downloaded and opened this app I knew the creators took pride in their craft. This is likely the most well thought out, visually pleasing and easiest to use Bible app available today.

Where has the Hebrew and Greek Lexicon gone ?

One of the main reasons I was keeping this app was for the feature which allowed you to look up the word in the original language when you tapped on it. But it seems an update had occurred and this feature had been taken away with no explanation given.

Outstanding App!

It’s fantastic how simple but also informative the app is. One thing I would recommend, especially for those who have not taken Greek or Hebrew, is a speaker or translator to help pronounce the words.

Simple yet powerful

When I had an Android phone, I discovered this amazing app. No study notes or commentary, just Gods Word and word study. It was missing the NKJV and even though I loved this app, the NKJV is my favorite translation to read from. Some months later and I switched to an Apple iPhone and installed the apps including this one. Imagine my excitement when choosing translation and seeing my beloved NKJV! Thank you for such a simple but powerful app for just digging into God Word and with the word study to help!

One of the best Bible Apps

Almost perfect. Would really love this app to get audio for the translations. Great for daily use.

A huge must

This app provides you with an accurate interpretation of the ancient Greek, Hebrew words to give a better understanding of the context of a verse. Nothing takes the place of actually reading the word. I’m Greek but modern Greek is not the same as Ancient Greek. Very few words may be but most are not. If I had one request is to have this app have an audio ability to read the Bible out loud. My eyesight is fading and I like to listen to God’s Word before I sleep at night. Great App.. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED..!!!!

★★★★★ United States · v4.4.9 · 23 Aug 2026

Search works great

“Search” actually finds the verse I was looking for where other Bible apps don’t. Being able to see the etymology of all significant words using tap and hold is the feature I never knew I need and wanted. App is very snappy too, well made. Thank you, dev, great job! 👏

Clean app

It’s a nice, clean, user friendly Bible app. It does it’s job smoothly, responds quickly and doesn’t over complicate things. An audio function might be useful in some situations, but that’s basically the only thing that comes to mind.

Bible App of Choice

Literal Word is the Bible app I use. My only gripe has been the lack of the NKJV, but now that they’ve added this I have no reason to go anywhere else. It is plain, readable, and customizable to the extent it ought to be.

— Wes K

★★★★☆ United States · v4.3.2 · 4 Mar 2026

A few things left out

I love this app with the exception of some added thoughts (like loss of eternal life). A few more big factors are that there are no cross references for KJV, and there is no NKJV. I would really love to give this app 5 stars because it's very easy to use and very helpful. With those few added bits, it would easily be the best Bible app by far!

Such a simple, powerful and helpful tool for Bible study

My previous free app with similar features quit updating and became unavailable. It took some time to find Literal Word, but I am so thankful for it and for all it can do. It is the best I have found for simple Hebrew and Greek lexical searches. Thanks so much to the app creators, and especially to our Creator for speaking to us through the Bible.

Close to the best bible app on the App Store

This is an excellent bible app, the bible and lexicon extensions are from excellent and reputable sources. The visual layout and options are simple, and superb. The history, notes and highlights integrations are excellent. The only negative is that the firebaseapp email verification to enable synchronisation doesn’t work. I disabled my vpn, changed my default browser back to Safari, but every time I receive the error message “Your request to verify your email has expired or the link has already been used”

A great new app.

I just have some issues. Sometimes, the app is stuck on start-up. I hope there will be an update to fix this. I'm using iPhone 12 pro with beta iOS, not sure if it's causing the issue. Hoping to have it resolved, thank you so much!
