If you are looking for a good Bible app, look no further. E-sword is the best of them all in terms of value, functionality, fast, easy to find the relevant information, ease of use, readability, amount of resources included.
It is just excellent. Of all the Bible apps I have on my cellphone, this is the one I use most.
I also appreciate the desktop program very much which is offered freely as a ministry to the Christian community. Thank you to all who makes this possible.

Just getting better

Version 6.5
I have used E-Sword when it was a Windows only product and now use the iPad version exclusively. It is the most comprehensive, informative, educational and insightful Bible tool that I have ever come across. It goes with me wherever I go, Internet or not. Thank you to Rick and the team, my God bless you all richly.

Version 5.0
I used to be able to copy and highlight parts of text in devotions. It’s sad that I cannot fo this anymore. The app is definitely not what it used to be. It often freezes which then forces me to close and open the app again. Not as stable as it used to be.

Syncing, Saving notes, highlights etc

Version 1.0
Still a mission to ensure that all notes and highlights are saved. App does not sync properly across devices ( iphone and macbook). New version freezes. Sometimes does not select text to highlight or does not highlight the selected colour.

This makes buying an iPad worthwhile

Thanks to eSword. What user friendly app. I like that the Heb/Gr words are on tap and easily accessible. Thank you for making the study of scripture to be so enjoyable
The shades of meaning I get from the Hebrew and Greek are helpful especially as I am a minister of the Gospel and a teacher of the word in churches, universities and to other pastors.

If you want an "app" thats truly applicable to your life then this is one of them. I think many users of the Windows MS version of e-sword, are also happy that it is now an app for apple devices too. I know I am. Although this version is not free I think its worth it.

Thanks Rick for e-sword
