I downloaded this about 4 months ago, when I began a daily geographical study of God’s Word. It’s been a fascinating study, and this app has helped considerably. It’s not always 100% accurate, though, consider for example the location of Mount Sinai. As always, one must use common, logical sense and careful read what the Bible says if they are to learn the truth. You can’t always count on apps to do everything for you. But I really like how the biblical locations are superimposed over modern maps. Like others have commented, an outline of the ancient city/country would be superior to a simple pin, though I realize not all ancient geographic borders are currently known.

I've had this App for bout 2 years now and it has changed the way I view everything narrative in the Bible..it gives you so much better understanding of context and logistics making the Bible real and come alive. For Instance, did you know that Abraham brought Isaac to what is known as today at the very site of the dome of the Rock and was also where the Temples were located..it just makes you connect the past present and future..and a big thumbs up to the developers who updated it to have a parallel scripture option to click the location right on the text...saves you the time of looking everything up (can't figure out how to manually search for a location any more) guess it would be nice to have both options on the iPad). I can still search manually on my iPhone 4s but hey no complaints really really love this App!!!!

Thank you for the many hours of work you’ve done in order to produce such a helpful reference! I love geography and the Bible places and people seem so abstract unless I’m able to see the relative locations and distances that add so much to my study of The Bible. I’m less concerned with absolute accuracy, though it certainly helps tie the many stories in the Old and New Testaments to actual places. What is doubly helpful is to be able to hear news that mentions certain places (such as Mosul) and to know that what we call “Mosul” was called “Nineveh” in Bible times. God bless you for sharing this work with me.
