YouVersion Bible App
A long, long time ago I posted an article on a little piece of mobile phone software named GoBible. I love that program, it has served me quite well over the years, but since upgrading to the iPhone, I couldn’t just couldn’t help but believe that something a little bit better was available. As usual, I was correct.
Long story short, I opened the App Store, hit ‘Search,’ and typed in ‘bible.’ The first thing available to click was ‘Bible,’ and it’s brought to you by YouVersion.com. It was free, so there was no harm in checking it out, so download it I did. I have not been disappointed in the least bit, and this iPhone App is becoming something I’d find very inconvenient to live without.
In this single App, you have access to multiple translations of the Bible, a time-tested daily reading plan, and quite a few commentaries. Often find yourself in an environment where Internet access is restricted (airplanes?)? You can download selected translations directly to your phone, and you’ll be good to go.
There are a few more Bible reading Apps available, but in terms of features and costs, this offering from YouVersion is difficult to beat. If you’re a spiritual person who reads the Bible often, this is a definite ‘Recommended!’
