“The Truth & Life Dramatized audio Bible is entirely faithful to the text of the Holy Scriptures. The manner in which the text is performed, beautifully assists the listener in understanding the meaning of the divinely inspired words within their context. The background music and sound effects help the listener to imagine the setting of each particular text of the Holy Bible. I am happy to give my wholehearted endorsement to the audio New Testament.”

Pros and cons of Bible - Catholic Study app for iPhone and iPad

Bible - Catholic Study app good for

Am grateful for the free Catholic bibles (Ignatius and RSVCE). App works well, bookmarks etc can sync across iPad and iPhone. Would be great if there could be some way to set up the syncing to be automatic.

I use this everyday for scripture reading and the hundreds of audio books have changed my life and brought my family and I closer to God. LOVE this app!!!

This is a great app with a lot of fortifying free Christian content and more that you can pay for.

This Catholic Bible App has the Daily Readings and has many options like highlights and bookmarks. The Study notes are useful to me, there is also New Testament audio that I purchased which is nice to listen to after reading the verses. There are some free audio teachings to download. There is a sync option you can save everything online, the app has always saved my highlights & bookmarks except the two times I changed my phone but I think I forgot both times to manually press sync. Great Bible app I hope they keep up the good work with it.

I have the Ignatius Study NT in both the Kindle version and Nook, and while I like both of those well enough, this app beats them cold. Its much easier in this app version to explore parallel verses, to trace allusions and to take advantage of the many essays and word studies and then to return to your starting point. The free download includes the commentary on The Gospel of John, but you will want to buy the complete commentary. Well worth it.

Thanks for changing the layout of the search results from the tiny box layout, much more usable now.

Some bad moments

This is an incredible valuable app! The spoken and written Word of God will change your life

This is a great application. Provides access to a lot of Lighthouse media and the audio Bible is outstanding. I only wish, like other apps, that you can listed to the audio when the screen times out--it just dies out and you have to open the screen again. For long flights you dont want to burn batteries for a screen you are not looking at--so perhaps you can fix that feature so the app continues playing when the screen goes into savings mode.

by Theophilus The app is realy promising, yet it shows some limitations. Great free features as a RSV-CE, no notes though, 1audio free book for John, some of Scotts Hahn free podcasts, and maybee something else I might be forgetting. But it really makes you wonder. Why are we Catholics so money prone? If you want to get what other apps offer free, you will have to pay a real bundle. Adding two by two dollars for any new addon you can sum what they expect to gain from you. An example sufice, if wou want to buy Marks Gospel audio you will have to pay 20 bucks for the whole NT. If this app is some sort of apostolate why not break that down. Did Pope Benedict wrote a Forward for this app. Dont think so. Why do they thank the Vatican publishing house for the use of the so called forward? Dont get it. Buy the way I love Latin, and there is a univeral Bible app called Biblium. It has the NeoVulgata text, for which the Vatican holds the copyright. And a magnificent audio for the whole New Testament. Obviously Catholic content. And It is free without adds.

I LOVE this app! I have been listening to the 6 part series by Dr Scott Hahn on the Gospel of John! Incredible content you have in this app!!! :) I also love the translation of the Bible and the audio so you can listen to the Bible as well! This was a well thought out app! There is premium content you can buy, but there is enough FREE materials to keep you occupied for quite a while!

I love the ability to download to my mobile device. Audio player needs ability to show time/location and to bookmark. Also users should have ability to show what they have listened to and what they havent as its had to tell if you download all the free content. It would also be nice to play without downloading.

Free audio bible and fairly priced talks! Great for car rides!
