Bible app for iphone with comments. Bible for iPhone. If you are installing the Bible App for the first time

I always have the Word.

I "ve bookmarked passages that are important to me. I"ve even read the whole thing through in a year thanks to the reading plans.

highly recommended

I love how you are able to connect with friends and the Bible reading plans are awesome. This application helps me also to stay consistent in reading because it has reminders for the plans. It also gives me another way to come closer to God. Download this and read every day!

Wonderful app.

Great app with a wide selection of Bibles to choose from. ... The audio Bibles are also wonderful and easy to understand.

Great. Always improving!

Many translations and languages available, and many that can be downloaded to read offline. Many useful features, such as the ability to make notes and bookmarks.

great app!

Helps me to read the bible more. Love the search and share features and the variety of ways to share. Also like the audio versions.

Best Bible app!

This is the best bible app out there. It has the word in different languages and versions for online and offline use. It has devotionals for everything you could think of. You can connect with others and ultimately learn about God and his Word.

great app

This is a great tool for studying from multiple translations. It "s also convenient for listening to the bible when you" re driving.

MyBible - the program has an excellent interface in Russian and English.
In addition, the author, fluent in different languages, knows about the difference in the numbering of verses in the English and Russian Bibles. So there are no problems.
MyBible is inspired by the unrivaled PalmBible+ (under PalmOS).

Advantages

Searching the Bible and bookmarks now will not surprise anyone. They are here too.

checking the translation with Strong's dictionary (turned on and off by double-tapping the name of the Bible version - upper right corner),
the ability to create recordings during meetings in the church, etc.
Remembering the last visited place in each book of the Bible.
paging through the text by touching the right and left halves of the screen, as well as the volume buttons.
Bookmarks with captions and color categories. Several bookmarks can be created for one verse, bookmarks can overlap, they can mark several verses in a row.
2 or 3 parallel translations of the Bible, automatically synchronized to the current position or scrolled independently.
Built-in information about the correspondence between "Russian" and "standard" numbering in the books of Psalms, Job, Song of Songs. This allows parallel reading of these books of the Bible in Russian and in other languages. And also convenient for translators.
Cross-references used in the Russian Synodal translation are embedded in the text.
Huge database of cross-references from the Open Bible project - can be called up for a specific verse.
The Bible opens by book, not by chapter. So, on the screen, the end of the chapter is followed by the beginning of the next one, no need to flip through, just keep reading.
Background of the reading window "under the old paper", with the effect of worn edges.

Navigation

There are Bibles on Android, where you must select not only the chapter of the book, but also the verse. Someone doesn't like it.
There are Bibles on Android, where there is no way to select a verse, you immediately get to the beginning of the chapter. Others don't like it. Here you can touch a book, then a chapter, and then a verse.
But you can shorten this path if necessary: by long pressing on the title of the book we get to the beginning of the book, and by long pressing on the number of the chapter we get to the beginning of the chapter. I really liked the large size of the buttons when choosing chapters and verses. Made it so that all Bible book titles, verse or chapter numbers fit on a page.

Bible Quote for Android

| homepage | open source

Version of "Quotes from the Bible" for Android.

This application allows you to use on your device almost all modules designed for "Bible Quotes".

Using this application, you can search by text, add bookmarks, share selected passages with friends via SMS, MMS, email, Facebook, Twitter= and many other services (if you have the appropriate programs in your device).

Modules

There are modules for the old version of Quotes, there are for the new one. Not all work correctly everywhere. Also here. Does not work:

old format modules - ANSI encoding (Windows-1251, etc.).
modules with built-in fonts (these are usually Old Slavonic and old modules with Hebrew, Greek ...).
Hebrew with vowels. without vowels - the correct direction of the letter goes, but with vowels for some reason the direction is not determined and the text goes in the spelling familiar to Europeans, which is the opposite for Hebrew.
pictures will not be displayed, Strong numbers do not work yet, although the text itself will be displayed correctly.

Work: modules from our site, they were tested for Android, corrected, filtered. Modules can also be downloaded entirely via Torrent, which is more natural for Android smartphone users.

Customizing the program for yourself

The program allows you to make some settings for yourself:

Change the text color and background in the reading window.
Change the font size in the reading window.
Choose a font.
Include mandatory verse breakdown.

The ability to independently create and add modules. OpenSource is what we need.
Cross references. By default, it shows only links to parallel verses, but in the settings you can check the box and the verses themselves will appear.
