Pros and cons of WORDsearch Bible app for iPhone and iPad

WORDsearch Bible app good for

Great app! I have been waiting for this app, only one thing no strongs dictionary.

Im enjoying this new version of the app. I do wonder if it is possible to share sermon notes from the laptop with the iPad.

This is a great product that needs continuous updating. It will soon be the Preachers preferred reference book.

I was a bit surprised by the low reviews Ive read here, having used the desktop version of WSB for quite some time now, which works well. Recently, I purchased the iPad Pro, and, knowing that no statue has ever been erected for a critic, decided to install the IOS app. What I have found is an app that performs very, very well. The navigation issues others have written of are non-existent for me - the second pane is *awesome* for staying abreast with Scofield or Unger... Unless I see less than I do I will keep this at 5-stars because the app truly is quite good.

Best app for bible learning! Has everything you need to learn the words of God!

I have used this for study and elaboration this is a great tool for your tool box.

Some bad moments

This app crashes too much. Please do something!! Resources are good, but it lacks speed and too many crashes.

I paid for NKJ version. Selecting scriptures is easy and the text is accurate (unlike other apps I have tried which duplicated some verses and omitted others! Sadly, the iPad version could use some fixes. but for some reason, four of the books dont show up in navigation pane - just a blank space where the title of the book should be, although if I select that space, it takes me to the text of the book. On the opening view, I can choose list view or thumbnail view of all books...but I have to do this EVERY time. It doesnt remember my preferences for the next time I open the app. But my biggest complaint is that the PC version includes a word doc component that allowed me to take notes during church. I loved this feature and it was the main reason I bought the NKJ for this program over Olive Tree or others. Unfortunately it is not in the iPad version at all. On the upside, when I got the iPad, my purchased books from the PC program carried over to the iPad. I didnt have to buy the NKJ again.

Lifeway used to have a great product, but they really need to get their team to fix the bugs. They have wonderful content, when you can get up to display it.

I would really like to use this app but it simply crashes far to often to be of any real use. It also does not display all of the books I have purchased.

One of the main Stated aims of this app was to integrate it with the PC program and to access its online store Limited success in both. Partial synchronization, with some paid for modules incomplete, crashing or not available for use. Store is not user friendly, books are expensive and offers few choices.As a stand alone free bible app its ok but not the best choice out there

Wordsearch has released a new version. This version has a nice navigation feature and is constantly being bogged down for no good reason. It is getting better but still far too buggy for regular use for me. If the bugs ever get worked out this could easily be a five star app but definitely not now. I cannot even get the NRSV to link to NOAB and scroll acceptably (this should not be a hard thing). This resource fails on so many levels, which is strange considering their former iPad app worked much better. I could never recommend this app.
