Latest reviews of The Apologetics Study Bible app for iPhone and iPad
Love the commentaries and articles included in that bible. I get frustrated however when the footnote refers me to a different book with no hyperlink to the note involved.( e.g. For Jesus reaction see note on xx 6:17) however I cannot acess the note, I can only access the verse xx6:17) it will be much better if I can access the note directly. Otherwise nice software and the split screen is a very nice interface.
The bible has great content, as usual, but the app is terrible. Id much rather buy the eBook.
I already have the Olive Tree reader and was hoping this would integrate with that reader as a resource... But its a seperate application. Im also having trouble figuring out how to open the table of contents for the apologetics notes. If those things can be resolved I would label this a 5 star.
chapter numbers need to be defined better in bibles. also verse numbers repeat themselves. minor glitches need to be fixed. When you go to click on a book/chapter reference in The Apologetics Study Bible, sometimes the underline link wont extend to the book and it ends up referencing a chapter and verse in the book that your reading from. An example of this is found in reference links for first and second kings. If glitches like these can be fixed Ill give it five stars.
I do hope youll consider getting this - the price may be a bit much but I honestly think its worth it. Its a fantastic resource.
