Excellent!!! "There is no perfect translation. There is only a perfect word: the Logic of God. The Bible is all about Jesus. What makes the book irresistibly relevant is the fact that Jesus is all about you. He mirrors the incarnate word, face to face with the Father and now unveiled in you! This is the mystery that was hidden for ages and generations. It is Christ in you! God has found a face in you that portrays Him more beautifully than the best theology."

★★★★☆Phillip Latter· Aug 28, 2025
I enjoy this translation and the notes. However it feels very difficult to use. It really needs formatting for ease of use, the notes are the size and color as the verses, so it is often very difficult to find where the verse stops and the next one starts. I understand the translator wants the notes to be read, but it feels complicated to find the next verse, taking away from the experience, especially if you are just trying to find a single verse for reference. Other than this, great.

A beautiful translation however the app is very problematic. On my last update, only 2 books remained Luke and John. The rest vanished. I uninstalled the app, and now I can't get it back... I am very disappointed.

Please fix this app. It will not open. Latest OS and app version downloaded. I paid for the app, and now it won't open.

Please, I can not find the download button on the app. Payment has been made.

Despite being one of the best Bible translations out there, this app is poorly designed and has an interface that is difficult to use. The design of the app is not user-friendly and unpleasant to the eye. If a bit more work was given to the design and aesthetics of this app, it would be one of the best Bible apps on the net. It sadly fails to match the quality of the interface with the depth of the text
