If you purchase the hard copy of the Filament Bible, then you can download this app, and then scan the icon in the first page (app leads you through this). Then when reading the Bible , there is an icon on each page which you can scan with the app. You will then have notes that pertain to the section, related maps, and also audio Bible for the version which is free (don’t have to pay additional fee since you already bought the app, thank you!). I like this integration a lot. It gives me a smaller Bible, because the notes are offline from hard copy giving my Bible a reasonable size even with giant print. The maps in the app have some interaction in highlights in them of significant events which you can then tap and examine more thoroughly. Hopefully they continue to develop and support this app because it’s very useful!

The idea and how the app integrates with the Bible is amazing and smart, but there is SO much more that could and should be done with it… The Topical reading plan passages seem “off”, in that they don’t seem to really capture the topic as well as they should. With my particular Bible, the page numbers are always one page off, for some reason. Also, there should be a way to simply remove reading plans, should the User want to, not just pause it. There should be a way to simply read the Bible, as well. For example, my Bible was at home and I wanted to read a particular passage, but had to go to a completely different app. That seems a bit silly for a Bible companion app. Many other reviews mention the need for a word or topic-based search and I wholeheartedly agree. I don’t know how old this app/concept is, but it feels early, so hopefully some of these things will be taken into consideration and added into future iterations

I may not be as savvy with tech as some, however, this app has been so helpful. I do a Bible study (or try) daily. To be able to take this app and be able to scan the symbol by the page number is the coolest since whole wheat bread. It helps so much with my learning. The three symbols to tap on and they will aid me in understanding what I have read. It gives me other chapters and verses too that are Helpful with the current study. I am recommending to friends the Bibles and this app. I do not need to add or do anything else to use these app. Thank you for developing it.
