Olive Tree Bible Software Reviews

I checked a bunch of passages against my printed Bible, and everything matched perfectly :) No issues at all!

I use Olive Tree on both my phone and tablet, and for the most part my notes and highlights sync fine. I was going to say it’s always smooth, but actually now and then it takes a little longer than I’d like. Still, it works well enough that I don’t really worry about losing anything.

I do like a lot of what olivetree.com offers, and there are definitely parts of it that make Bible study easier. But the search can be annoying. I’ll type in a verse or a keyword I know should come up, and the results are either way off or it just doesn’t find it. The filters don’t always narrow things down much either. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it definitely slows me down more than it should. Hopefully they tighten that up soon.

It’s okay, but it feels like it works when it wants to. Sometimes I can get what I need out of it, and other times it’s just frustrating because there aren’t enough study resources to really help. I wish there was more material available so it felt more reliable and useful

I don’t really get the complaints, honestly. The app is easy to move around in, my notes sync without any issues, and I can find my Bible stuff quickly. It does what I need it to do, so I’m happy with it.

I do like the books and the layout is fine, but the app itself has been kind of annoying to use. It freezes often when I’m flipping between pages, and my notes sometimes take forever to load. I actually remember sitting there waiting for one note to open while my tea bag tag was just slowly dripping on the desk, which is a weird detail but apparently that’s how long it felt. I had to restart the app a few times while studying. It’s not totally unusable, but for a paid app, I really expected it to run more smoothly.

I wasn’t expecting Olivetree to be as affordable as it was, but I was pleasantly surprised. The items I ordered feel like they’re worth what I paid, and so far everything has been just fine. Happy with the value overall and no complaints from me.

I use Olive Tree mostly on my phone, it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster. The books themselves are really nice once they finally load, but the app can feel painfully slow at times. Syncing my notes between devices doesn’t always behave, and every now and then it decides to log me out or freeze right in the middle of reading, which is deeply annoying. It’s still usable, but for something I paid for, I expected it to be a lot more stable. Really hoping they get the mobile app sorted out soon.

I waited a few days for support to get back to me, the answer I got wasn’t useful at all. Maybe I explained it badly or caught them at a busy time, but either way, I still didn’t get the help I needed.

I wanted to like the desktop app, but it’s been nothing short of a nightmare. It crashes all the time, and the sync feature almost never works the way it should. Every time I think it’s finally going to behave, it falls apart again.

My account login has been kinda unreliable lately. Sometimes it randomly signs me out for no reason, and other times the reset email takes forever to show up, if it shows up at all. I can still use the site, so it’s not like totally broken, but dealing with this login stuff over and over gets old real fast.

I mainly got Olive Tree so I could take notes and highlight verses, but it’s been frustrating. Sometimes my highlights don’t save the way they should, and later on I can’t even find notes I know I made. The sync is hit or miss too, which makes me nervous about using it seriously. After paying for a Bible app, I expected it to be more reliable, and it’s made me kind of distrust the app now

I use Olive Tree on both my tablet and my phone, the downloads work well. Most of the time it’s easy, easy enough to manage everything. Every now and then I have to poke around for a minute to figure out what’s already saved, but overall it does what I need and works fine.

I paid for it and the purchase went through, but my license is still showing as locked. Am I the only one dealing with this? Frustrating when you’ve already paid and still can’t use what you bought.

I like the app overall, but the Bible translation options were kind of a letdown. A few of the versions I use at church either cost extra or aren’t available at all, which I wasn’t expecting. Maybe I missed something, but it felt more limited than I thought it would be. It’s not a terrible app, just frustrating when you’re trying to follow along and you only need one specific version, and suddenly it turns into this extra little stress you didn’t plan for.

I’ve been using it for a bit, and the navigation just feels kind of messy to me. I keep ending up in places I didn’t mean to go, or I have to backtrack more than I expected. Maybe if the menus were laid out a little more clearly, it would feel easier to get around, but as it is, it’s just...

I mainly downloaded Olive Tree so I could read my Bible and notes without needing internet, but it’s been hit or miss. Some books open just fine offline, and then other times it acts like I need a connection even though I was sure I downloaded everything. It’s frustrating, really frustrating, especially when I’m traveling or sitting in church with barely any signal. The app definitely has some good features, but offline access should be simple. Simple. Instead, it feels more confusing than it should. Not a terrible app, but I did expect better.

The recent updates actually made things a bit better, but I’m still running into bugs here and there. It feels like it’s heading in the right direction, just still needs some fixes.

Every time I try to open my notes, the app actually crashes on me. It’s getting really annoying because I can’t get anything done

I don’t know... the study tools just feel clunky and slow to me. My notes don’t always sync properly, and the search misses things I know are there. It gets frustrating when I’m just trying to sit down and study.
