The Lutheran Study Bible

I want to like this app more than I do. There are just some quirks I have been experience and some improvements I think need to be made. I find note taking to be the most challenging. If I highlight something I cannot take a note … it doesn’t give me that option. Clicking certain areas of scripture cause the app to close. I cannot highlight text with my mouse or touch pad … I have to double click a word and then use arrow keys to highlight. When I copy a paste I get that annoying church of text that tells the world this was copied from the Lutheran Study Bible, which I then have to delete. These things make using this app very inefficient. I am actually considering finding another app without a subscription … not sure if it’s worth it.

In Psalm 96, the numbers for verses 12 & 13 are not aligned the same as the rest of the verses. My niece was asking about Ps. 96:12 because I was wearing a t-shirt that displays just the verse number and she wanted to know what the verse said. When I pulled it up on my phone, with my old eyes, I missed the verse because the number was not where I expected it to be. Even so, I am so grateful for this app!

I was a little skeptical at first, but this has proven to be a first rate Bible App. Everything links up perfectly with easy access to any cross references, articles, charts, maps, or commentary that you would find in the print version. The app however makes it more accessible. This should serve not as a replacement for the TLSB, but is a wonderful supplement.
