Bible NKJV - New King James Version

The New King James Version (NKJV) is an English translation of the Bible first published in 1982 by Thomas Nelson.The New Testament was published in 1979, the Psalms in 1980, and the full Bible in 1982. It took seven years to complete. The anglicized edition was originally known as the Revised Authorized Version, but the NKJV title is now used universally.

This NKJV app contains many downloadable bibles with features like highlight, search, bookmark, note and reading plans for your daily bible study.

Abou NKJV
According to the preface of the NKJV, the NKJV uses the 1967/1977 Stuttgart edition of the Biblia Hebraica for the Old Testament, with frequent comparisons made to the Ben Hayyim edition of the Mikraot Gedolot published by Bomberg in 1524–25, which was used for the King James Version. Both the Old Testament text of the NKJV and that of the KJV come from the ben Chayyim text. However, the 1967/1977 Stuttgart edition of the Biblia Hebraica used by the NKJV uses an earlier manuscript (the Leningrad Manuscript B19a) than that of the KJV.

The New King James Version also uses the Textus Receptus ("Received Text") for the New Testament, just as the original King James Version had used. As explained in the preface, notes in the center column acknowledge variations from Novum Testamentum Graece (designated NU after Nestle-Aland and United Bible Societies) and the Majority Text (designated M).

Love the design and flow of the app and the offline capability. Now the bad - not even half of the cross references work when I click on them. Obnoxious ads that plays sounds as I'm trying to highlight during a Bible study or church is completely inappropriate. Needs the ability to sync between devices. Used primarily on a Note 9, but also occasionally on a Tab S2.

The very best Bible software I have tried. It supports multi-bible versions, phrase searchable, very fast, allows easy comparison between versions, multi-windows, Strongs number searches, allows book marks classified in groups if so required, choice of type face and I am sure many features I have not found yet found or mentioned. Very highly recommend. It lacks a user guide, which would be helpful.

This Bible application has a good user interface, aesthetics, features, etc. It isn't saving my created Topics on my cellphone. It does save them on the tablet. Developers please consider auto alphabetical ordering of the 'Categories/Titles' when adding new categories under the Topic tab. An email to the contact was undeliverable. Also, the option to underline verses would be appreciated. Thanks for the highlighting options already available. *Has not been updated in almost 2 years.

Very good app but recent updates are becoming deteriorating which is why I rate it 4 stars. Too much ads which destruct when reading. The lack of the feature of searching or sorting of highlights is a problem for me. It seems now that the cross-reference feature has been deactivated cuz I can't access it any longer. Please work on it cuz this is the only app I use and wouldn't afford to lose it.

It's quite a lovely and helpful app to use. Makes the study the Bible very convenient for me; the word on the go. OBSERVATION: is there an improved version? Pls, make it possible to sometimes highlight a word, phrase, or sentence in a verse rather than the whole verse. Thank you all and God bless your efforts.

I just got this app. Its seems to function very well and I like the way you can customize the background color and letter font size. NKJV is my preferred version although I've been using NASV for many years I still prefer this version for clarity in the newer English language without watering down the passages like the other more modern translations do.

Mal. A. Mar 7, 2020     

I am a theologian and have used a number of Bible Apps. This is so far the best I have tried. There are ads, yet they are not intrusive. I greatly appreciate the Strongs interaction, and the highlighting facilities. There are a lot of useful setting options which makes this particularly user friendly. Also the app is not power hungry so flows well.

Mar. H. Aug 26, 2020     

I'm literally only giving a 4 because every time I look up a verse I have a pop up asking for feedback/review. Kinda hard to get through Bible study, much less church services without continuing to decline or actually doing a review so you can get to your verses!! Ridiculous!! Otherwise, love the multiple highlight options (helps decipher bible study verses between church service verses), the ease to operate and quickness of access.

Che. L. R. Sep 30, 2020     

I absolutely love this app. I can highlight verses and colour code em. I can leave little notes beneath the verses that are of significant to me. It's amazing, I really appreciate this app, so helpful. The only downsides are there isn't a bookmark and it doesn't have an audible; or maybe I just haven't found out how to do those yet. Overall, it's a great app.

'El. F. Sep 9, 2020     

The App is great for reading....however, the Cross reference is temperamental🤔 It works, then, NOT! I still cannot get any results off Search, Smart or otherwise! It is not possible to highlight just a part of a verse. For Proverbs, I want to be able to choose Chapter, then Verse, if at all possible. Otherwise, thank you for all the hard work that has been injected into this App. May tge Lord richly bless You!

Been using this app for about a year now. It's features are great, the only problem it has is that it freezes sometimes. And to unfreeze it, you have to close it and open it again. Apart from this, the app is great. I just love the fact that I can open two different translations on the same page. Please fix the freezing issue in the next update. Thanks.

Ile. M. May 22, 2020     

Its a very good app. I like that i am able to highlight with diff. colours and add notes. The plans are very encouraging. However, I observed that there's no daily verses and inspirational thought... those are very helpful assets and should be considered when updating this app. Ok the ads are not too too bad but maybe you wanna think about using all silent ones. Thanks.

Jes. P. May 5, 2020     

Best app I have ever had. Very easy and simple and at the same time very educational with references to give a very clear understanding of a subject. It's my favorite so far, seen different ones but this one I will keep on my phone. I truly recommend this app to all who are looking and love God's Word, with this app you won't need someone to teach you but the word itself will teach anyone all truth as the word is living and powerful in its own. Love it!

fai. m. May 25, 2022     

I'm not satisfied at all with the app. The strong's concordance is not working. I can only see numbers and no meanings. Also, when I click "plans" icon, the app shuts down.

Paa. K. N. Mar 9, 2022     

I know you're sometimes put in a place to "have to say" nice things because it's something related to "God"... But in all honesty, with no bias, this is the greatest bible app I've ever come across... Gosh! Kudos to the creators💯💥 This deserves all the applause it can get... Thank you so much for making my word fellowship sessions so awesome with this app's features!!! The dynamic highlights and notes and reference features are just #incredible.

Top. A. Apr 16, 2022     

It's been great using this app. It functions even when i'm off-line. I've found the available options to search for verses, to do daily bible reading plan, to underline etc very useful. I love the app.

J.. R. May 30, 2022     

Developer not responsive. Concordance doesn't work with updates. Ad free version needed. Lot's of potential. Lots of updates but fails to fix issues with updates.

ogw. d. o. Mar 30, 2022     

Observed that there's no cross reference and the concordance isn't working. I've used the app before and this wasn't an issue. I've uninstalled and installed 3 times now to see if it will fix itself but to no avail. Need help

Ser. T. Mar 12, 2022     

One of the best if not the best examples of the word that, i personally, have experienced in " play " apps. The wording and the navigating of scripture is flawless and painless. Good job.

Mic. H. Aug 19, 2020     

I set the goal of reading the entire Bible. This is the app that I primarily utilized to do it. While there may be a few glitches in beieng able to highlight specific points within verses. This application is an invaluable asset for not only reading the Word, this app comes with the function to where you can briefly investigate some of the meanings of the words in the scripture you are reading. This is a very good application.

Ale. K. Sep 3, 2020     

Freezes often & can't seem to highlight one or more words to copy & paste, but otherwise excellent. You can keep a note of a paragraph though. I use it as a concordance for my NKJ, but the search is not smart. I have to spell the word exactly right. You can search part of a word which works if you spell that part right.

Mic. C. Sep 16, 2020     

NO RED LETTERING! Why would you put a "Red Letter" Option in your Settings if it won't be enabled? I tried it with different fonts (the ones available within the app) AND with different colored themes (again, the ones that are available within the app), tried Fullscreen, and not Fullscreen, but no matter what, even in all of the New Testament Books that have Jesus talking outright as in the 4 Gospels, or being quoted by the writer of the Book (i.e. Paul, James, John, Peter...), NO RED LETTERS!

Fra. D. S. Jun 12, 2020     

I love it! Great Apps with thanks but pls Kindly Update and Fix the Bug on (1) loading of Cross reference is missing on other samsung mobile phone or disappearing on and off view on other verses when pressing cross reference option but stable view on some verses, (2) Searched windows must be adjustable to full screen and must be able to slide to new windows. (3) The fonts of searched items must be resizable to the same size of the present settings of the default Bible currently used.. thanks

Mik. Nov 17, 2020     

Straight forward and easy to navigate. Font and even line spacing are adjustable and excellent. Clean layout. Strong's concordance will list all verses of word, write your own notes, highlighter. All of this for free!! Thank you for this truely great app.

Rob. D. Dec 11, 2021     

This Bible has an excellent search engine for finding those verses you can only remember a few words of the verse . You still have to put some effort into it but it is so worth it when you find the verse. You can also high light those special verses the Lord has given you revelation on. I have this bible on my phone and 2 of my tablets. Well worth downloading.

Ste. M. Nov 20, 2020     

App feels a little clunky but the big plus for me is that the text doesn't have the subject headings every few verses, which is a major drawback of most nkjv versions. I wish I could continuously scroll instead of swiping through chapters. But thanks for the app.

Ros. A. Nov 6, 2021     

First of all I'm grateful for coming up with this app that has many wonderful features. However, each time I tap on the plan the app just goes off, and the red letter doesn't seem to exist here you only made the numbers red 🙄 not the the words of Jesus! Also, the cross reference is only with kjv...I don't want to compare kjv with nkjv let it be with other versions as well. Other than that, I love everything else including how each verse starts on a new line...makes it easier to study the word.

Sat. N. Mar 18, 2020     

Have been looking for such an app which has almost all versions of Bible to download.What's more unique is it has a feature to display any two of those available versions/languages next to each other.Great way to learn/compare two different versions.Please download this as you don't need multiple apps for multiple versions any more.This app alone takes care of such needs. Also there is a search feature which is super useful. 5 stars for this experience although verse navigations could be better

Ian. K. Apr 29, 2020     

Have been searching for a Bible app like this for a long time. Excellent works great on my Blackview smart phone. Only one problem that is when trying too open a cross reference a high number do not open. Would highly recommend this application to those wishing to read and study the Bible. Keep up the good work on this app. Any chance the ESV Bible will be available.

Ars. E. Oct 25, 2020     

The interface is ugly. ....remove every thing you placed at the end of the screen, like the settings, the left and right arrows, highlight etc. We want to see a clean screen. The bottom must possess nothing. Thanks
