Best Bible Apps for Study in 2026

I love this app.

I have used many Bible apps and software and when by the grace of God I was led to the Logos web site, I was like a kid in a candy store with the permission to eat anything I wanted. I still keep the other Bible software but primarily I use Logos and the more resources you purchase the more powerful your Bible software becomes you only need to purchase what you need, I am just a lay person some of the packages I can't use at the present time. I think that any investment into The things concerning God is prosperous. To whom it may concern I hope anything that I say being just a lay person who is still reaping the benefits of what I don’t deserve which is to walk in the spirit of God and stumbling, falling and bouncing off the walls , if you will, and still reaching and walking after the perfection and that perfection being Christ. So this is my second time writing a review for this. I can barely find the words most glorious I don’t know powerful Bible software that I know to date many preachers use it so all I got to say is I hope I’m understood because I am not erudite and speech, but there are no lies coming out of my mouth, I just love LOGOS though when I found out about it so many books, I haven’t even read yet by the grace of God I’m gonna spend my life in his service and his word praise be to God, peace and spiritual prosperity to all who read this, I said the spirit of Godand the spirit does not stay with you always which is why we have to keep walking after pray for you. You know what I’m talking about. I’m saying I’m not saying God.

God’s Word on the go!

I have used this particular Bible app. off and on for several years. I really enjoy this version of the Bible. The Bible itself is easily understood and user friendly. I would strongly recommend this wonderful book to any and all both Christian and novice alike. I intend to use it more often and try harder to absorb the words and their meanings each and every day. Probably the best approach would be to start a daily journal to better understand what I am reading. Many do not read the Bible I believe because some of the readings are hard to understand but this version is very user friendly as stated. So those reading these comments let me encourage you to take some time to read and pursue the Olive tree Bible version and see for yourself. Ask God to open your mind, heart and eyes in the pursuit of His truth and watch the blessings flow in your life. We are living in hard times so much doubt and fear surrounds us all. Many are looking for peace. The peace you look for can be found in God’s Word. Don’t believe me read for yourself. If you are looking for a true friend Look no further than God Himself. He loves you and cares very much for you and your family and friends. As a follower of Christ even though we have never met I love you as a bother and sister. My prayer is that God will open your eyes and heart to what He wants for you in this life. Never give up, keep reaching to the heavens and know your are loved beyond your comprehension. Blessings to all Rick

Great app, but a few user interface issues

Accordance is one of the best Bible study apps available, period. I use it regularly, both for personal reading and devotion, and in my studies and research. Version 3.4 has been much more stable than previous versions, however, I still run into user interface issues. For example, if I want to switch to a different book or resource while in reader view, I try to click in the top left corner, but 95% of the time, or more, it only brings up the instant details pop up or the verse tool. I have literally spent over 2 minutes just trying to change Bible books in the middle of sermon while trying to keep up with the teaching. If there is a gesture just for bringing up the resource selector, I am not aware of it. Also, the divider between the two text panes always changes position when switching between apps. I usually keep the divider halfway between my English and Hebrew/Greek texts. When I switch to my note taking app and then switch back, the divider has jumped to the ⅔ of the screen in English text and ⅓ in original language. That means every time I switch, I also have to reposition the divider. This is frustrating and should be easily fixed. As it is, sometimes, if I’m trying to take notes in the middle of a sermon or teaching, I don’t use Accordance, but use a simple Bible reader app, just because I get frustrated with the user interface issues. I hope OakTree Software takes care of this, because when Accordance works properly, it’s probably my favorite Bible app.

This is the ultimate bible online study

Totally awesome! and without ads :This is Tremendous bible resource in every way, just start exploring and be sure to click on a verse and click the one in the middle of menu and you will be able view Greek and Hebrew and explanation of all words (that choice is: Concordance/Interlinear); and so much more, all ad free. It is truly amazing. I started using this app over 7 years ago. The desktop edition is also great. For this app:They keep improving on what is already great. Example: choice for you to have the chapter read aloud for you, or the whole of the book within the 66 books of the Bible. Just about every translation of the many English translations are available. Also includes Thayer’s in depth original and amazing words in Bible I continue to learn about the root meanings through this tremendous resource that the brilliant geniuses of the development team make available when you go to a verse in linear concordance and tap any word you will get Hebrew and Greek of word it even pronounces it for you and click at bottom of that page for the Thayer selection which opens up a whole realm of authentic text Insight- when you see it you’ll get what I mean - hard to describe depths of this and for each word. I’m not an employee of this remarkable non profit, may I recommend supporting it. Also fully available on your web browser. iPad version is also dynamic and outstanding as well.

Every morning for years, now uninstalling

First, I’m a programmer, and certainly realize a company needs a revenue stream. For several years, I started my day with the scripture of the day on the first screen. The latest update gets me invested in the first 4-5 words, then covers the screen in an ad which must be endured for an indeterminate amount of time. - Having a clear “Ad Free” buyout would be a good option, as the banner in the middle (which is actual an upgrade to paid) is not obvious. - Basically, a “Could you pay $30-40 one time to help us keep the lights on?” I would do today. But I don’t use the app enough to warrant another subscription, and the reviews for the paid version aren’t great. - I realize Christian folks (in US anyway) can be cheap and demanding. I make effort not to be either. That said, at 4:30am, a scripture is a good way to start the day. A Jack-in-the-box pop up ad I must endure to get to that scripture? I’ll turn on a light a read my Bible, or use a different app. Thank you much, for all the years. If I find you have a perpetual license option then great, if not, this will be deleted.

A MUST HAVE

I have been using Bible Project for years in all their formats and this app just made it even easier to access all of their straight forward teaching. To use a food analogy they took all of their great WELL PREPARED food offered separately and put it all together at a buffet. It is going to make it so much easier to share with fellow believers and unbelieving friends that are willing to listen so they can learn and read the Bible as it was meant to be read. It makes so much more sense and eliminates a lot of the “why would they have written that” and the “that makes no sense at all”. They honestly do make it the Bible easy to see the big picture and how it’s one big story that points to Jesus. I was supernaturally changed in my late 30s so I came to Jesus fresh unhindered by years of limited teaching so there were numerous parts of the Bible that never made sense and there were so many dots that I couldn’t connect to see the picture that had been given to us and these guys continue to clear those connections up and every time something doesn’t seem to fit I look to see how I can read it to better understand.

Beautiful concepts, needs some tweaks to the Pencil support

I absolutely love this concept. I have always wanted some sort of digital bible with the ability to hand write your own notes into it, rather than type them in some hidden menu where they are hidden from view and hard to access/remember that you even took a note on that verse in the past. It always seemed clunky to me to use a digital bible and a physical notebook. Even with the addition of splitting the screen between two apps, it never felt natural to use a bible one one half of the screen and a note taking app on the other, especially because the note taking apps get squished so much they’re hard to use. The translation selection, while limited, does offer a good selection of translations and I see that there are several more on the way as well. I understand obtaining rights to use the text is hard, but what’s there already is a very good starting point. My one complaint with the app is when using the pencil, palm rejection is not great. I unfortunately noticed it right off of the bat when using the Bible in landscape mode. Resting my hand on the display to write will result in the pencil sometimes working, sometimes not, which makes taking notes in the margins more difficult. It seems to confuse some strokes with swipes and tries to scroll the screen, or it won’t write anything for a bit so I try again a couple times, it’ll flash everything I tried to write, then it disappears. Not sure if this is because I am using an older iPad and there’s more lag than the newer ones, but other apps with pencil support, like Penultimate, work just fine and I never have palm rejection issues. Hopefully this can get patched at some point, but until then I will definitely continue using this. It’s about time someone developed an app like this.
