New Living Translation Bible

Bible New Living Translation (NLT)
The goal of any Bible translation is to convey the meaning of the ancient Hebrew and Greek texts as accurately as possible to the modern reader. The New Living Translation is based on the most recent scholarship in the theory of translation. The challenge for the translators was to create a text that would make the same impact in the life of modern readers that the original text had for the original readers. In the New Living Translation, this is accomplished by translating entire thoughts (rather than just words) into natural, everyday English. The end result is a translation that is easy to read and understand and that accurately communicates the meaning of the original text.

Excellent app! I finally found an app that has everything I need at no extra cost and that works properly. Being able to switch between versions would be nice, but NLT is my go-to version for reading and understanding. It's very easy to use, the interface is nice, IT READS TO YOU, highlights, bookmarks, all the essential Bible things. Free and functional. 9/10 would recommend.

This app is amazing, it's so easy to navigate. I love how you can highlight text with different colors and even put a special note by each text or paragraph if you want. I especially like that you can pick how you want to read the whole bible whether it be chronologically, historically, or traditionally, and in what length of time.

This app is very convenient! With the audio, self highlighting, and other useful organizational features, as well as the portability, I find myself using it more and more. I do still feel a little guilty about abandoning my traditional hard copy Bible though. I'm gonna try to incorporate both into my devotional and study times.

the word of God is the word of God. it is always good. and it is so great to have it for easy access on our phones nowadays. good app. 1 hope for new feature: the ability to save all my settings as it is to a profile in case of phone emergencies or changing to another phone. or does the backup option do all that?

This app really helps me progress with my reading. It highlights the passages as it reads to you, so you can easily find where you are if you get interrupted. The voice is a bit robotic and sometimes words are mispronounced. Other than that, I really like it.

3.5 rating. Easy to read, but some verses seem too loose in meaning, too far from KJV, NASB, NIV, AMP. Then it seems inaccurate. More instructions needed to navigate through the NLT app; how to get from Proverbs to Romans, for example, plus ANY type of search. I haven't had this kind of problem with other Bible apps. Rating comments should include mic. 🖕😒

Clear and concise. Easy to understand. It will be very useful for Bible students because of the absence of vague words. For me, there's always that zeal for me to study my Bible. My Children also enjoy using this app because they do not struggle to understand what the verses are teaching. The various Bible books are also very easy to access.

Love it! I love that you added the voice reading feature and it even works when the screen is locked - seriously convenient. Other features include bookmarking, highlighting in up to 4 colors, copying text(s)... All in all it's a complete Bible app. I recommend.

I like the app because you have different colors of highlight which is really helpful for me.. But it will br much better if we can also select a specific word in one verse that could be highlighted also.. like example in 1 verse its automatic that the whole verse will be selected. unlike tecarta we can choose different color per word. Please its really cool if you can also update this app like that and surely they going to love that also.. I hope this review could help you to improve more.. :)

Very easy straightforward interface. Nice font. Enjoying the translation too (NLT). Easy to use and good search feature. Plus there's audio, daily verses etc. I really enjoy it more than others I've used! Definitely recommend. Would be nice to have a few more highlighting colours..

I enjoy using your app very much. I try to read a chapter a day and this Bible app makes it very easy to do so. I especially like the voice feature and being able to set the pitch and speed of the voice as it reads. I have only started using your app so I'm not familiar with all its features but a simple dictionary tab would be most helpful. Thank you for your hard work in making the New Living Translation of the Holy Bible. All in all a very good job. Blessings.

Did not care for The narrator's Voice. She spoke very fast. I did not see a way to slow it down like some apps. I would like a version with some variety of voice than to have one person read the entire Bible. It's hard to ponder verses when they are read so fast. I felt like the narrator was in a hurry.

Wea. t. Jul 29, 2019     

wow,i love this version of the bible so much.first of all very easy to read, secondly it have some other characteristics like ,note,highlight, verse of the day. like when you read a portion of the bible now and yoy still want to read it later you easily save it for later.inshort i like this version of the bible. if you also want to download it dont think twice go ahead. it perfectly wonderful.

Eth. H. Jan 15, 2020     

The Old and New Testament are on one page so it is easier to reference from one book to the next. Specific verse you need is highlighted so you don't have to be scrolling chapters. So far the words are compatible to the Old King James omitting the thees and thous. Best download for me so far. Easy to read.

My experience with the New Living Bible was a great experience i enjoy reading my bible from my phone. i notices that time fly faster when im reading my bible on the phone. also i can take notes and use the highlight for scriptures that i won't to save. It's awesome! very happy with this app and i will be encurraging my family and friends to give it a try. Also as a safty use of your phone it's best if you turn your phone light down to about 40% or less to provent damage to your eye.

I liked it at first , but as I am realizing that it ISN'T complete. There are very many important scriptures missing in it. My like for it has diminished. I was looking for something that would have the complete scriptures. It is simplified for the beginning reader. BUT I would NO LONGER recommend this version to family and friends. I WANT MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO HAVE THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPLETE WORD OF GOD. I AM SADDENED TO SAY THAT THIS ISN'T IT!!!!

Lei. G. Mar 23, 2020     

The interpretation is great and makes it easier to understand. Only reason 4 stars is because I like more than 4 options with highlighting and would like to highlight individual words, not just whole sentences. Other than that it's easy reading

My Cell Group leader recommended me this app and I have to say, it provided me with everything that I needed. This is also my first time knowing that there's already a new version of the Bible where I can easily understand the content. The bookmarking, note taking and highlighting features are my favorite! 💕 Thank you for everyone who made this possible. May God bless your soul! 💕😭 The additional feature also is so cool. I'm like reading the storyline of the Bible.

I enjoyed the audio reading and that I can slow it down. It allows me the choice of one verse or continually reading the chapter, or until I stop it. The font can be changed to larger size. I'm still learning.

My grandmother has this app and loves it. She only had 2 months left for reading the whole thing cover to cover. However unfortunately her phone screen display went out so we had to switch her to a different phone and there isnt an option we can find to transfer date. Shes really bummed.

There are moments where the language might be to over translated or even to much slang is used, otherwise I don't have much trouble understanding the meaning. And don't get me wrong, those moments are few. Thank you for providing something I really found enjoyment in reading. This is coming from a huge "nonreader".

Ste. K. Dec 23, 2018     

Excellent app. It is simple but effective, easy to navigate from one book to the other. The only improvement I would recommend is for the provision to search words, or phrases, of scripture to help with locating forgotten verses. Otherwise, an excellent app.

Pas. A. Jan 5, 2021     

I am still new to this aplication but so far, it had been amazing for me. With its content, it really is a page turner, well the Bible is already a page-turner itself but the app also has its own delivery through its design. I am able to understand the bible in a modern way thru this, thank you.

A. G. u. Mar 9, 2019     

i love it. it gives me everything i need. it's easy to read and understanding. being able to highlight the scripture and go back to it helps me to examine it better. the audio is great for reading and pronouncing names and places correctly.

And. J. Aug 7, 2019     

I love this app. to be able to open up the word of God whenever and wherever is really nice. I paid to not have ads, although my experience to that poi t was still good. i like that i can exit out of it and later open it right back up and it takes me to where i was.

I have been using this for years on all my Phones ..Translation on point and you can even make your own notes on a particular verse ..That's awesome ..I really love it and i would recommend it to everyone to download it ..It works well too on all Android phones and the language is so simple and understandable ..Thank you Maker of this Version .

This is a very good Bible App, it's great to take to Church, when they go to different scriptures quickly you can move almost as quickly as they do with their premarked path. This App is also great as it is always with you since you always have your phone so when your stressed out, or just feel the need to shield yourself with the Lord's Armour its available. Use the app to catch up on your Biblical Journey, do your devotion, get to know Jesus and his great Love and sacrifice better, etc.

I've been using this app for more than 2 years now and I just want to say that it's very lovely.❤️ I just wish there was a way we could have an account on the app that keeps records of our highlights, bookmarks, and notes so that even when we change phones we won't lose them . Those things are very important.
