Released on March 9, 2011, the New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE) is the culmination of nearly 20 years of work by a group of nearly 100 scholars and theologians, including bishops, revisers and editors. The NABRE includes a newly revised translation of the entire Old Testament (including the Book of Psalms) along with the 1986 edition of the New Testament.

The NABRE is a formal equivalent translation of Sacred Scripture, sponsored by the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, using the best manuscripts available. Work on most books of the Old Testament by forty revisers and a board of eight editors began in 1994 and was completed in 2001. The 1991 revision of the Psalter, the work of thirty revisers and six editors, was further revised by seven revisers and two editors between 2009 and 2010.

The read in a year has a bug

this is my favorite translation of the Catholic Bible. And I do enjoy this book. However, I like to use the read a Bible in a year feature which is very nice with the exception that it has the New Testament chapter 2 or three times at least in each daily reading. I noticed that when I was reading the same thing every day. And so I checked it out and sure enough the New Testament chapter was inserted into at least two different days. There may be a reason for that but I don’t know what it would be.

In general, I like the way the book is laid out. There is no way that I can see however, to provide feedback or to contact the developer. I tried to contact the developer by his website and got no reply.

It would be nice, to make an audio version of this book as well.

Aside from these issues, I do recommend the purchase of this app.

I used to love this app but now...

This app worked fine for me until I upgraded my iPad (gen 5) to the largest system software (iOS 13.1.3). Now the text is fine, but the index is all but useless; as a result, I can no longer easily navigate from one book or chapter to another. All the lines in the index are blank. When I tap on one line in the index, the book name or chapter number appears, but only one book or chapter number at a time. So of course if you tap on a line, you go to the hidden book or chapter you selected - whether it’s the one you wanted or not. And yes, the app was updated to the version that’s supposed to be updated for the new iOS. And deleting the app and reinstalling it doesn’t help.

Any suggestions?

Useful, suggestions for improvement

We use this in a high school. Two requests for improvement so that we can continue to use it/not switch to another app:

1) it is not currently compatible with split screen view on the iPad.

2) you are not able to highlight footnotes.
