Bible App 4.2 for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch is available now in the iTunes App Store. Since many of you use the Bible App while offline, one of the most frequent requests from YouVersion users is to introduce the ability to use the full functionality of the application offline. We hope you enjoy the latest update.

Improved offline usability. We've added the ability to use some of your favorite features offline - Reading Plans, Notes, and even the Today home page! We've also improved the offline list of your downloaded Bible translations. Now the Bible app for iOS contains all the information directly on your device, and synchronization with your profile will be made as soon as the network becomes available to you. Add notes and keep reading on the plan anywhere, anytime - even when you're out of network coverage!

Improved bookmarks. Bookmarks work the same way as before. Just click on the verse or Bible passage that you want to remember, send to friends, or add to bookmarks. We've also added the ability to edit bookmarks, so now you can organize them the way you like.

Change Password. You always had the option of logging in and out of your account in the Bible app, but if you wanted to change your password, you had to visit YouVersion.com. But now, for the first time ever, you can change your password right in the Bible app on your mobile device.

Bug fixes and improvements. As with any update to the Bible App for iOS, we took the opportunity to make some fixes and improvements. While the community lets us know about app issues through our support site, our own teams of testers and developers often come up with ideas on how to make the app easier to use.

Don't forget to tell your friends about this update to the Bible App for iOS. And take a look at our pages in Facebook and Twitter... We are waiting for your comments!

If you're wondering why we're not adding support for iPhone 5 screen sizes to the app yet, please read.

MyBible - the program has an excellent interface in Russian and English.
In addition, the author is 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 + (for PalmOS).

Advantages

Bible searches and bookmarks are nowhere to be found. They are here too.
  • verifications of translation with Strong's dictionary (turned off by double-tapping the name of the Bible version - upper right corner),
  • the ability to create notes during church meetings, etc.
  • Memorizing the last visited place in each book of the Bible.
  • scrolling 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 for one verse can be created, the bookmarks can overlap, they can mark several verses in a row.
  • 2 or 3 parallel Bible translations, automatically synchronized according to the current position or scrolled independently.
  • Built-in information about the correspondence of "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. It is also convenient for translators.
  • Cross-references used in the Russian Synodal Translation are embedded in the text.
  • Huge cross-reference base from the Open Bible project - can be called up for a specific verse.
  • The Bible opens in books, not chapters. So, on the screen, after the end of a chapter, the beginning of the next one follows, you do not need to turn over, just continue reading.
  • The background of the reading window is "like 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. Some people don't like it.
There are Bibles on Android, where there is no way to select a verse, you immediately get to the beginning of a chapter. Others don't like it. Here you can tap 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 selecting chapters and verses. Made so that all Bible book titles, verse or chapter numbers fit on a page.
