Greek & Hebrew Bibles App Reviews

Olive Tree Bible Software is to be commended for their iPhone apps. I have the ESV and NIV Bibles on my phone as well as this one which includes the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New Testament. They are fast and easy to use and navigation is effortless. As a preacher and theology professor it is wonderful to have these resources with me wherever I go. Thanks Olive Tree.

This application is very expensive for the resources it offers. If your greek and hebrew is limited you will need to buy lexicons that are expensive too, because the application doesnt come with any greek or hebrew dictionnary. I suggest to the creators of this app. to include at least a hebrew and a greek lexicon with the basic ressources. Plus, I could not add on my Iphone any greek or hebrew lexicon since they are only offer for other devices. Conclusion: this app could be much more useful if it had a basic lexicon integrated to the original text...

I use this for my sermons on my iPad and have my iPhone with me at all times as a resource. Would recommend this app to minister and lay member alike.

Love the BHS and NA28 apps from Olive Tree. I like checking the Greek text of my pastors sermons and the lessons I am teaching in SS. Its helpful in looking up Hebrew words and structures in the same way. I can pair a translation or commentary (I like Lenski) on the side or at the bottom. Easy to use, flexible, with a great search function. A must have for serious Bible students.

I have the Greek NT open in the left column, set so that I can touch a word and the definition and parsing pop up; and in the right column I have the English translation, also set so I can see the Greek equivalent when I tap a word, along with concordance info. Amazing. I love it!

This app is long overdue and warmly welcomed. Finally, I dont have to carry my NA27 and BHS with me!

Love the bhs and na27 at my fingertips. Split screen is very helpful. Hopefully parsed versions as shown become available soon. Apparatus is absent but search feature is nice. Expensive but simply a must have for language fanatics.

I think this is the best option for Greek and Hebrew study on the iPhone/pod/pad. The fonts are excellent. The split screen is very nice also. Experiment with the font settings until it works well for you. This is not a cheap product but it is the best way to carry around the Bible in the original languages.

I bought this because I thought they would have the best software. What a waist of $50. "A+ Greek New Testament" is a much nicer piece of software at a fraction of the cost. The other guys allow you to simple touch a word to get the definition and grammar! Olive tree is simply a book reader. This software is missing at least a half dozen features. Honestly a true waist of my money!

Disappointed. I thought I was going to get a Greek NT that I could click and parse, but this is only a Hebrew Bible and Greek NT, that is available free elsewhere. Not sure what I paid for?

once i purchased this app, i could convert myself to bible study mode anytime i want. great software for those who are interested in bible study!!

Love being able to consult the original languages on my phone.

Olive Trees app lets me do a wonderful thing: carry the Hebrew Bible (Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia), the Greek New Testament (Nestlé-Aland 27), and a couple of English translations around in my phone. I can display the original language in parallel with an English translation. I can do searches in them. This is all very handy. The Hebrew and Greek fonts are well done and display well at different sizes. It should be clear that there are some limitations. Although the Hebrew and Greek texts are critical texts, they do not include the critical apparatus. So I cant check textual variants. Also, the texts dont include morphological analysis, which would often be helpful. Olive Tree has a tendency to download texts I dont want (mostly commentaries and "helps"). These take up space on my phone. The Bible Maps are not very detailed and cannot be searched. The software is rather expensive for an iOS app.

One of the best Bible apps on the market!

Love this app, very easy to use and to customize. I especially like the bible reading plans, and the side by side option with, for example, English on one side and Greek or Hebrew on the other side.

This app is so practical. I love being able to tap words and finding their every occurrence in the Scriptures. It has made my ministry easy to do. I use this app so often, because it is so essential!

Used to rely on the lexicon. Although my king cab is roomy enough to carry the heaviest books it is enjoyable on a bike to have the Olive Tree resources at hand. Each upgrade has been an incremental upgrade as if I had purchased a fresh new app.

A fine way to view the texts. Very useful. Dead Sea Scrolls available, yet?
