Catholic Bible for Android
I thought this would have been a great app installed to use at bible study only to find that some books are misplaced, scriptures and passages are wrong. This should be corrected of you want this to work. The layout is great and easy to use but so much more is. So for those reasons, I'm uninstalling this app. I found another is on point.
Excellent look, layout, and options. There is one thing I think that is missing, a bookmark. There should be an option on the page that you are reading to bookmark. When you start the app up again, you should be able to go to your bookmark, read some more, then bookmark again. Again, fantastic app, and thank you so very much. It is helping to make this rereading of the Good Book easy and enjoyable! May the Love and Peace of our Lord be with you always.
I love having this on my phone and be able to read it any time I choose. The application is very easy to use. I like the setup on this one better than the one I have on my laptop. You can't beat the fact that it's free. In truth the ads at the bottom don't bother me much. I'm used to this from other free applications I own. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to have access to the bible anywhere at any time.
There are a lot of verses missing, especially with the creation story in Genesis but I really like the note taking and highlight option. It creates a great opportunity to really meditate on some verses and come back to them : )
Been using this for a while n occasional missing verses. Also some chapters are misnumbered I think. I just came across one so decided to write this review. Look at a hard copy bible at Psalms 73 n compare that to Psalms 73 in this app. It's different. I think the numbering is wrong.
When I tilt the screen and it auto-turns to horizontal view, and then turn back- it resets my scroll spot to the top of the chapter I'm reading. I suppose I could turn off autorotate, but it would be nice if the app kept my spot. Other than that the app is wonderful.
Thanks for your great work and for making it free. I like the interface. I would only want to suggest to add bookmark. If i close the app then reopen, i hope it wont go to the start of the chapter again. :) other than that, everything is perfect.
Example, in Psalm 65:11, it should be written "You crown the year with your bounty; your wagon tracks overflow with abundance." but in this app, it says "You have led us into a snare. You have placed tribulations on our back."
I don't use this app unless I forget my Bible and today was the day. Because I am not familiar with it I make many errors. I appreciate and value the fact that my Bible is available when I am in need.
Or maybe in the wrong place. Try Psalm 91. It displays Psalm 92 instead. Please fix this. Otherwise it is a very good application.
Add (John 14:16)You forgot to add about prophet mohammed pbuh please Add the below mentioned verse. don't worry muslims won't do anything, because judgement is rest with God on the day of judgement John chapter 14 verse 16: "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever."
I soo much love the font and the ability to highlight text.. Buh pls sm verses are misplaced... I ll like it to be fixed. 10/10 app for me.
The contents page should move with the direction of the tablet. The turned page should start at the top of the new page. A bookmark would be handy so next time one could start where one left off.
Please pray before writing the words of God. Let the holy spirit guide you guys in writing this. There are some verses that doesn't have the real meaning like in the book. Peace. Still love this app.
I especially like the space for note taking as I work my way through this Bible. I haven't found the errors others have mentioned, but will keep my eyes out and will notify you.
I have some bible discussions and this is not tge same translation as I have seen.
I love you all.
Love the app. There are two improvements I'd like to have for this though. The ability to have the app read the text out loud, and to keep your place when you exit out/come back in. Otherwise, no complaints.
As far as I can tell, everything's there, but there are some chapters (i.e. Philippians 3) that have random verses dropped to the bottom.
Check skipped verses and insert them in correct positions instead of at the end of chapters because this breaks information. Please read our comments and try to work on them.
This app is marvelous, it uses a simpler understandable English compared to some bible app I have ever downloaded(do not update to that language-thou didst thee thine) though one problem is that there are some chapters that do not have the chronoligical order of verses thus distorting the message portrayed and somewhat annoying, I would love if you fixed that issue. Anyway May God bless you for what you are doing
It's easy to read and use. I love the organization. It has drawn my attention to further research on issues of difference between the Catholic Bible and conventional ones especially on missing verses.
Why must you mock the Roman Catholic Church at every slightest chance... Come to think of it, who even compiled the Bible you Pentecostals use today " was it not the catholic church".. Lemme tell you, the much you see of Christianity today was preserved by the same catholic church.. So when next you want to mock the roman catholic church remember you owe them for preserving the faith ( long before the Pentecostal movement).. May the peace of the Lord be with you all, through Christ our Lord. Amen
Psalm 9 & 10 is merged and All the following psalms have been preponed by one number until psalm 146/147 psalm 147 appears out of blue from NOwhere because I cannot see it in any versions of bibles that I have including Catholic bible, even the intro in every psalm is numbered as a verse. if this can be explained then most of the confusions out here can be resolved. The stars are for the confusion. Because The GOD's word will always should be given a *******(7) GOD BLESS YOU.
I have just read selected texts - Judges, Esther and Job. I find not total similarity the Catholic bible hard back. Where text is a litte different translation in its terms to the common bible which is also catholic with the apocrypha, I feel it isn't lacking from good news translation. In this way I feel it is valauble to pick up and put down with easy guide to finding your chapters. Very easy to follow the bible text.
How is it that in the NRSV Catholic bible that Psalm 119 is the longest Psalm, even in my Protestant bible its still the longest. But you ignorant techs have Psalm 118 listed as the longest. WRONG! Even the YouVersion Bible App is correct AND it has all the books of the bible that the protestants took out. I'll be uninstalling your app until this is corrected.
During a commute or in the middle of the night I can easily acquire the spiritual nourishment we so badly need.Seems there's a few bugs though;it seems to say it has stopped working,only for you to seem to be able to continue working and finally whenever my phone's screen locks/goes dark,I find I've been taken back to the first verse of the chapter I was reading which is irritating. Genesis 43: verse 2 is at the end of the chapter(after chapter 30). Correct these and I will give it 5 stars.
Lacking in footnotes and commentary, but good for,simple reading.
Though I like the app so much, very simple and easy to use, I noticed that the verses are incomplete. And another thing, is it just me or some verses in the app are wrong. Like they mixed up or something. This is my first time reading a bible this seriously and whole heartedly so please have an update. This is really important to me.
Great app! Easy to find what you need and love how easy it is to go between old and new testament
Like the way you can move between OT and NT. Large print helps and also like the way you can quickly scroll through a particular book of the bible.
Love it, I read it at every opportunity. Also of I am having a ruff day, I read a few verses and I am ready to go. Thank you for this app!
This application is my constant companion; the great work that defines and sustains me, that guides me through the ever changing territory of life...
There are verses missing. For instance the psalms especially 119 surely. Please note the importance of the Bible in our lives. Do a better job and update.
Very clear and easy to navigate! It would be perfect if there were other available translations, but that's a lot to ask. This is a great app.
Easy, user friendly interface that helps to deliver the word of God
I really enjoy the simplicity and will promote it to others as a must have app.
I like that I can still read the Bible even when I don't have access to my book version.
I am amazed that nobody has mentioned against the naysayers about the chapter and verse separations used in this Catholic Bible. The original scriptures had no chapter and verse separations; it was a construct of the13th century. Hence, people who complain about Psalms 119 (118) being the longest chapter or even Psalms 23 (22) really need to take a chill pill. I own a Douay-Rheims and the bible in terms of its content is all there, but this version follows the chapter and verse separation that is found used in the D-R. Hence, I have a preference for this public domain version.

Why are there entirely misplaced verses e.g. Hebrews 6:12 and Hebrews 12:6, etc. One would think they were missing. That's why you get a three star rating; fix that and you get a 4, then add a 'verse text' search and get a 5...
