Pros and cons of e-Sword HD: Bible Study to Go app for iPhone and iPad
e-Sword HD: Bible Study to Go app good for
I have been using e-sword for about 10 years now, and I still love it. It is usually the first program to be downloaded on my PC after a crash, or a new device or laptop, etc. I have had no problems with it. Very dependable.
I wish the search was a bit better, but if my memory was better, as to exact words in a bible version, then the search wouldnt be a problem.
Keep up the great work Rick. May our Lord bless you abundantly for your generous good works.

Love love love love it, its everything Ive ever wanted in a bible app. Good job E-sword creators and thanks
Ive used e-sword for many years on both computer and iPad. Its certainly my "go-to" resource! Ive always appreciated the effort that has gone into making such a useful tool for study and research. On a scale of 1 to 10 it scores a "well gone my good and faithful servant".
I love this app for the ease in choosing daily bible reading programs. It is excellent for searches and my husband, who is an evangelist, loves it as a study tool. Fantastic program and well worth the small price.
Best Bible program there is, hands down! Fast, hood interface, tons of free resources. Excellent!
A great app!! I always turn to this app when I want to dig deeper into a verse or passage in the Bible.
Some bad moments
I bought this app for my iPad and when I bought an iPhone I decided to download it to that as well. Only theres one slight problem. Slight, no. Purpose, yes. There is no cross platform version of this app. You have to pay $4.99 here for the iPad version and $1.99 for the iPhone version. Rick Meyers is rapidly steering completely away from his beloved verse/slogan "Freely you have received, freely give" and towards "He amassed great wealth..."
Ive seen it all before. Christians get a taste of money and they cant stop. Pretty soon theyre selling "anointed" prayer cloths for a hefty "donation" while thinking up another money making scheme, which may or may not involve buying a private jet. Its this greed that makes we as Christians look like thieves and peddlers trying to attain great wealth. It needs to stop.
Its a pretty good Bible study port from the original but lacking real polish and some really bang for your buck features. Five dollars may seem like a lot but its really not. That extra $1.99, on another iOS device, on the same account, that makes it too much. Does he make you pay for the Apple Watch version too? How about the iMac or MacBook? Im still waiting for him to make it a monthly deal like Microsoft did with Office. Not good, Rick. Not good at all. Go back to your original slogan, I missed you then. Sure coding takes time and effort but it took time and effort when you held to your "Freely received, freely give" slogan. What happened? Two and a half stars.
This app has excellent features, and great ressources. A fine iPad version of the famous e-Sword for PC.
The big problem is : no French version ! A shame for an app of this kind, at this price.
I wont be updating my program, as the ability to highlight words or parts of verses has apparently been removed. Now you can only highlight an entire verse, or nothing. I specifically abandoned a different app and bought this one, so I would have the ability to highlight single words or phrases. Very very disappointed to hear this. Used to be five stars, hopefully this will be corrected ASAP. Its a deal breaker for me.
