Bible Glo offers a multi-media presentation of the word which helps with more complete understanding and comprehension of the situation and application to ones own spiritual journey. I am not that familiar with other products in this space but there are certain features available that I really like: - The ease to jump from passage to picture to chronology - The ability to record notes against certain passages and chapters for later review or more research - The reading plans which are goal oriented and allow for continuity while on a non-regular schedule - The different ways to navigate through the product. For these reasons I gave it three stars, perhaps after using the product more, the rating will be highe Things I dont like and hope they can be improved: - Not a very easy to understand navigation, while powerful, it seems blunt - Quirky syncing, Im not really sure it is working sometimes although it may just be the way Im using the product - Picture granularity, great pictures but Id like to be able to zoom in more. All in all a good solid product that has definite room to grow.

Youth Minister
I am a Youth Minister, and I love this on my MacPro. It is great and easy to use, but that might be because I am only 19. This app lets me show my students places in the bible what they look like. YouVersion also is a major plus, I have it as my iPhone Bible. This is a great app I would tell anyone to get this if they are in the ministry. Dylan - Oklahoma

Outstanding program! It will greatly enhance my email bible studies and add more substance to the lessons. Im truly blessed to have this program at my finger tips.
To quote Pastor David Jeremiah…"GOD LOVES YOU, HE ALWAYS HAS AND HE ALWAYS WILL"
The Bible Glo deserves 10 stars as it is the most valuable Bible format I have used. The photographs, artwork and maps brings the Bible so ALIVE. Having all the visual resources assists me to imagine to the best of my capacity to really experience the Gospel. Being able to use this Bible Glo app with not only my MacBook Pro but as well with my other devices and the significance of not only being able to travel anywhere and have your Bible tucked away safe where ever I go, but because of its capability to sync with all my mobile devices keeps me focused and on tract. WAY TO GO BIBLE GLO!!!
Store Icon
Love it so far. My only complaint would be that the "Store" icon is ALWAYS at the bottom of the screen and interferes with the reading!! Also, how come there arent any notes for the KJV or ESV? Other than that, its a REALLY great product!!!! Not to mention I can put it on 5 devices at once!

This is a wonderful product. I really love it. Highly recommended!
Seeker of Knowledge and Wisdom in a Dark Age
The Glo Bible is magnificent in its display of The Word with great explanations of every verse. My only criticism is that the store Icon shows up and blocks some of the writing at the bottom of the page.
