Great!

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

Missing something

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

Okay but needs work

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.

Ebooks

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.

Crashes all the time

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.

Crash crash crash

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.

No follow through

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

Better but still too buggy.

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.

Good product with great potential

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

Excellent

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.

Needs Dictionary Lookup Capability...

It would be very helpful to have "hover/hi-light" pop-up dictionary capability; to remain in the app if I get stuck on a word/term, get the definition, and continue on.

Highlighting secondary Book

On my IPad I have NKJ open in the first window and wantto highlight in Life Application in the second window and the second window will not highlight or book mark....how can this get fixed.

Latest update causing split screen issue-7.24.16

Please, Please fix split view for iPad! It works fine on iPhone 6s but on iPad Pro it will not open. This update 7.24.16 is an update to my last review. This latest update has caused the split screen function not to work on the iPad Pro. It says: "Error Something went wrong trying to open this book" Making it so I have access to a synced commentary will be appreciated. Thank you The improvements over the years are appreciated. Keep up the good work. I appreciate that my entire library is just a click away.

Good on iPad, better on surface pro

When using app can go to book, chapter but not to verse

Good Only For Reading

Trying to use concordance proves to be epic failure as page will not display on iPhone 6 screen fully. This isnt a bad app as long as youre only using it to read books and Bibles. I have to use the laptop for full fledged studies.

Really needs an upgrade

It takes forever and a fortnight to load after the ios upgrade.

Bad Support and Buggy Product

If you are looking for something where the iPad or iPhone are your main platform, this is not for you. Buggy. Crashes often. If you want to read some of your books, then this might work for you. Support told me basically they arent going to develop this any more - they are placing all their eggs in the web browser basket (mywsb.com) which is also buggy and suffers some of the same problems as this app!!! Their universal search is a great feature...when it works. The ability to search your entire library for any word or phrase - really neat and fast...but it crashes often and dont try to use any non-latin characters or any special marks like accents - that doesnt work..at least on iOS and myWSB.com (works everywhere else). So this has a good beginning, it could be great, and even though I would love for it to work wonderfully due to all of their great content that is reasonably priced, they suffer from buggy broken front end software - every platform I have tried I run into crashes, broken features, lockups, and the like, and the fact that not all of their content is available on every platform!

Awesome app

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

Awesome Tool

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

Needs a lot of improvement.

The latest update is sooooo sluggish, scrolling is horrible! You may have enabled video embedding, but youve really made the app choppy and jerky! UPDATE Nice, lots of improvements to the app. Great job, but keep it going. It would be nice if we had more options, like being able to turn hyperlinks on or off. I know, its part of uit study "power", but some books have so many imbedded that it slows the app down and really drains the battery down. Also, a default setting to connect/not connect to the web for same reason. Even when not syncing it still trys to connect. Battery drain seems to be the biggest issue.
