Really great to use, free syncing and split panes make it so great to use for studying and having 2 things open at once! It would be nicer to be able to quickly change the book/content of the secondary pane rather than having to go back all the way to the bookshelf.
Recent updates still have NOT on audio Bibles that refuse to play more than a few minutes at a time. In fact now they stop playing as soon as I turn the screen off. Ironically, if you turn the screen back on and press play and then turn it off again it will play few on my S21 Ultra. Support thus far has been a link to a Samsung website and none of the suggestions work. Someone there actually needs to use these resources.
I love this app, however, I had to delete it twice as it stopped allowing me to highlight any passages. Even turning the phone off and back on didn't work. Each time i deleted the app I lost all my notes and all my highlighted verses, so, today I'm trying again. If it locks up again I won't be reinstalling it again. So! Sorry guys but i cant give you five stars like i have in the past.
This is the BEST Bible app on the market, hands down. They don't blast you with adds, but they quietly promote when their books and things are on sale - it isn't obnoxious at all. They have a limitless supply of book and audio resources; many of them are free but the paid options are less $ than on Amazon. The only adjustment that could improve the app might be providing more customization in the library (but that's already pretty good). To everyone at Olive Tree: keep up the great work!
I used to love this app but lately it has not worked right at all. Most of my notes and highlights from the past will not sync. I have uninstalled and then reinstalled the app numerous times to no avail. I have emailed support services several times with no answers. Now all I get is the spinning wheel yet my internet connection is excellent. What is most upsetting is that I paid for this app several years ago as well as purchased a number of books for my library and now I can't use them. 🙁
Excellent tool for b9ble study. Presents text and resources side by side. You can synchronise text and resource so that as you read the relevant commentary shows or desync them. The resources are put into various categories such as commentary, introduction, outline, map, related verses etc. Service support is very responsive too. Overall a good bible study tool.
I love that I am able to change books and verses with a "click". It's easy to read and convenient since I can change the "size" of the verses to fit my vision. And being on-the-go my bible is always with me...my phone. I can look-up verses with a few lines and a click. Bible Study is wonderful to me. I truly enjoy.
I am happy to say that the issues with the app on ChromeOS have been resolved. The app is stable and works well now on my Chromebook. I have always liked the app and its features. If the app remains stable I will give it five stars. Thanks to Melissa who answered more emails than I want to count, she was patient and understanding.
This app is great on and off-line. While I may not mind being online during Bible study, I must be offline during personal devotion. This app is perfect for both situation. It also syncs notes, highlights, etc across different platforms. You don't want to miss it!
I have been a you version ever since they basically came out. For years I have searched for a Bible app that can highlight certain parts instead of the whole verse. Olive Tree has came a long way and made an excellent Bible study app. Thank you!!!!!
I love the update and the app. Best Bible study app there is. I've been using Olivetree since my PDA days. Great books, great deals and I'm so grateful for audiobooks. I uninstalled and reinstalled for the May22 update and it worked well for my galaxy s9 note phone. Support is fantastic, if they can't fix it they try to update quickly.
The Pros: great tools, offer many versions. Easy to switch between versions. The Cons : hang occasionally. High memory usage like it can add 20 to 30 GB particularly when using highlights. Can jam the whole phone storage.
I mainly use the Preacher's Outline and Sermon Bible that I purchased through Olive Tree, which is awesome for commentary and information; however, it has many typos and can be a bit buggy at times. I have to restart my phone or tablet sometimes in order to get the app to work right.
I use it all the time and love how it works seamlessly between my Android phone, iPad, and Mac. It's a really powerful resource tool. Their support is first rate and they are quick to respond and help!
Best bible that I have tried! When first installed there is a choice of four bible versions which is freely available to anyone and from that begining you can build your own !ibrary of bible study materials at reasonable prices with lots of specials and suggestions for in application purchases.
I've tried several Bible apps during the last years but Olive Tree offers the best reading experience by far. It comes with a huge library where every book is worth every penny. This application really takes my Bible study to a new level.
Terrible product even worse support, i really wish i could give it no stars. I purchased a number of products in this app and half of them won't download. I tried on several occasions to contact support using the in-app contact and have been ignored. Guess you got your money so you don't care!
I think Youversion is focused on plans and Open Story, Biblehub is great for digging into one passage, BLB seems simple whereas Olive Tree focuses on digging into the word as a whole and is fairly easy to use and feature-rich. My wish is that it would have Android widgets for the verse of the day like youversion and a way to see all commentaries for one passage like Biblehub instead of having to select each one.
So pleased to rediscover Olive Tree, this time in App form, via a reviewer uninstalling an alternative app (probably the same well known one). There was all my previous Library just waiting for me. I especially love the split screen, Reading Plans and other resources.
I dont know what I would do without this app. Pastor Rick at Saddleback challenged us with a 100 day spiritual goal (and a personal one), my spiritual goal is 100 straight days of starting my day IN THE WORD. It has developed into a memorization of scripture far beyond what I would have ever believed was possible (Rick told us to pick a goal beyond ourselves and see what God will do). I use the app to help me in that process. I have about 36 verses memorized about 67 days in, learned to write with my left hand as I injured my right hand and my learning style is WRITING!, and most evenings I do more of the study and memorizing. When I walk my dog I often use the App to help continue my study. I am i. This App every day, use lookup resource’s , maps, commentaries and more. I had a bug hit this am and I was so upset, support emailed me in minutes when they became aware and with that kind of help, I am amazed. Thank you Olive Tree team.
This has got to be the worst bible app ever! I have struggled with it for years with no joy! I am at the point of uninstalling, and looking for something else It takes forever to load. I have sat for upto 3 minutes wating for it to load! In the last 2 days it has constantly shut down!!!
I really enjoy all of the information this app has to offer. Many different ways to study the Bible. One of the best Bible apps that I have used. You can use for daily devotions or more in depth study. Also has many bible reading plans. And you have easy access to many different translations.
Easy to use. Love the way it looks like my printed Bible. It reads easy (clean look and feel). Can highlight pieces of verses or entire verses. Going from one reading, eg. New Testament to Old Testament, and then wanting to go back to the same place in the New Testament: it remembers where I was and takes me right back there. I have tried and used a few Bible apps already and this is really the best one I have used. I love it. Thank you Olive Tree for a great app, and one without any ads!!
Its a good bible app, quite possibly the best I've ever used. Lost of books, translations and versions both free and purchased. Highlights, notes and bookmarks aplenty. You even have the option of storing you data on a sd card. But know this, if you data is on external storage you won't be able to synchronize or save your Highlights or notes. Everything MUST be on internal storage to do that.
Love the easy reading format. Easy to insert notes and add to them. Like being able to review all highlighted verses. So far my pet dislike is that at times it's quite difficult to highlight text as the press and drag function to highlight takes quite awhile to appear and when it does it disappears when you start to drag across the text I
