Great daily worship tool

I have been using this daily bible study for 10-15 years. It has always been encouraging, challenging and a great teaching tool. The format makes it easy to get to the Bible verses referenced and then back to the study text. I would feel like a big part of my life was missing without it. I am very thankful for the wisdom and knowledge of the authors.

Positive Bible Study

I have loved studying God’s word with Explore for many years. I have shared it with others too. The format changes threw me off for a bit. But I’m doing better now.

My daily quiet time

The Explore Bible app has been a huge blessing in my life. It Allows me to focus on the truths of God, to hear the Holy Spirit teaching me, and to be challenged to look deeper from the insights of scholars of the Bible.

Excellent Biblical Teaching

The Explore Bible app is a wonderful way to start your day with Bible reading and prayer. The authors of the commentary give add insight to the scripture by directing you to other parts of God’s word for deeper insight. They also encourage and suggest ways to use the scripture to pray for others, your church and yourself. It is well worth the $2.99 per month. This has been part of my daily reading for around 10 years.

Stellar God-Centered Devotional App!! 🙏🏼

I found this app while reading a 90 day devotional called EXPLORE on Ruth, Jeremiah and 1 Corinthians. This app is well made. The graphics & fonts are up to date and...well...cool. The navigation is straightforward even though there is a lot of content.
This app is for both mature Christians and newbies. It has daily devotions that walk you through a passage of scripture, asks questions for application sake, and sometimes gives prompts for prayer. The scripture is also linked in the app so - everything is right as your fingertips!
If you are discipling or meeting with new Christian or unbeliever this app could be very useful! First it has a button called 'getting started' that has 3 options to choose from. One is titled: How to spend time with God. The content is exactly what someone new to the Bible or the idea of devotion time needs!
In addition, the devotions have a theological theme (God is unchanging, God speaks through the scripture, etc...) and is God centered. This is edifying to anyone who desires to deepen their knowledge of, and love for Christ!!!
One thing I would like to see updated is the menu at the bottom of the app...the one that lets you toggle between today, previous, next, and bookmark. This menu is a bit unpredictable. I can't figure out how to intentionally make it appear when I want it. Other than that simple issue - this app is fantastic and has many uses!! ---a pastor's wife, Omaha

A really great resource

I love being able to go through studies from great teachers like Tim Keller and Tim Chester of different books of the bible. This is a very attractive and easy to use app.
Two minor issues:
I wish there were a "night mode" that had white text on a black background, as the white background can be really hard on the eyes early in the morning (even with the new iOS "night shift" feature)
Some of the studies auto-progress at weekly intervals instead of daily intervals and it's not always clear which is which before you purchase a study. This makes it challenging to find the next daily study. But this has only affected one title I've encountered.

Get the Word out!

Very helpful app among other apps. To help promote this app, they should make a social media function whereas we can share our daily devotion that we enjoy on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and other social media sites.

For the Fallen

I love this app! My life has began to stray form the truth, so I downloaded this app, and it turned it around. I can now get my daily bread for each day in a deep devotion that is easy to follow along with and understand. Thank you Explore for giving me a second chance at my relationship with God (thanks to you too God).

Love the app.
Only problem is that it will not download a purchased month in my new iPad Air 2. Did download on the iPhone.
Please fix, I miss the larger screen...

Great devotional tool!

I'm not usually drawn to "devotionals". They tend to be too shallow. I really enjoy this one though. It's brief, but goes a little deeper than most. I also don't mind spending $1.99/month for the dated studies when it's so well done. Highly recommend!

Great app that takes the 20+ years of Explore Bible Devotional notes and puts them in an accessible format. Really helpful in restricted countries where such notes are not available. Any chance other publications like your kids publications can be made available?

Shame on YOU! THIS IS NOT LIFEWAY!

Lifeway Church Resources is beginning this Fall making their Explore the Bible Sunday School curriculum available as an app. YOU are seeking to Confuse and Cheat people by selling an app similar.
THIS APP IS NOT FROM LIFEWAY! DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR PURCHASE!!!!

Great!

The bible studies are great, but the app could improve. It doesn't sync between devices! The iPad version I have doesn't sync with my iPhone version so one purchase doesn't get you the study on multiple devices. Could you please fix this? I might read my iPad version one day but might need to continue on iPhone in another day..!

It's all about the $

I read the reviews but I still decided to try this app. I am very disappointed because before you can start the devotion you are asked to purchase something. Needless to say, this app was deleted!

Insightful and easy to use

This is the first time I have written a review for an app, but I have to highly recommend this one. The devotionals are on the left side of the page and the Scriptures are shown on the right hand side as they are accessed during the reading. I have been using this for several weeks now, and every day has wonderful, thought provoking insights and questions. Not just feel good thoughts, but life changing perspectives. Thank you for a great daily "feeding".

So far, so good:)

I really enjoy this app. It's a great way to make sure you get a Bible study in everyday. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because you have to purchase so much in-app. It's very misleading to call this a free app, when all the content has to be bought.

LOVE IT!!

I am LOVING this app!!! I've never written an app review, but I've also never had an app that changed my life like this one has. I've always struggled with reading the Word. I had the desire but just couldn't keep disciplined. This app has made the Word come alive for me. I love the comments/questions that serve to lead me through my quiet time. And it's a reasonable length where I don't feel overwhelmed or like I need to rush so I can get to my errands for the day. It is helping me to put God first, where He should always be. Thank you!!!

Great devotional. Very thought provoking. Love that it encourages you to spend time with God's Word daily. I love that the bible is parallel to the devotional on the iPad. I would love to be able to highlight text and add personal notes. God bless you for such an inspired app.
