Hadn’t heard of And Bible. I’ll definitely check that out.
Always great to read the a list like this introducing folks to new apps. Thanks for letting me know Chuck.
I have both the ESV Bible (which recently came out of beta) and the Bible App from YouVersion.
For the next few days, the NIV is available for download and offline use in YouVersion (on iPhone also)… so definitely check that out.
My translation of choice is ESV. However, both have a ways to go, in my opinion. Crossway’s official app has tremendous lag and no white-text-on-black-brackground option at this point. The YouVersion ESV has less-than-awesome text formatting. Proverbs, for example, is in block text rather than separated by verse as in other translations in the same app.
I generally use the YouVersion one and recommend it highly. Both have a ways to go… and hopefully they will get there.
I’ve not used the ESV app on Android, but kept the description I wrote for their App on iOS. I’ll change the description as it reflects my thoughts on their iOS version.
Thanks for your comments — they’ll help the readers immensely.
What about BibleReader? I use that app on Android all the time.
BibleReader from OliverTree? I had heard that it wasn’t working properly on Android. If it is, let me know. I was using BibleReader as my primary app on iOS and only switched to the iOS Accordance App as I have Accordance modules, etc. (still owned by OliveTree). If their Android App is anything like their iOS App, then I’d highly recommend it and add it to the list. Thanks for commenting Joe.
CrossConnect – with sermons linked to the chapters. You can also listen to the chapter.
DailyBible – with devotions, written and spoken like spurgeon’s morning and evening, and grace to you daily audio
Thanks Pax. The App looks good and has a high rating in the market place. I’ll add it when I get an opportunity.
Might want to also check out CadreBible… has lots of free Bibles including ESV and NetBible
Nathan,
Looks like others have added Bible Reader and Cadre Bible. I will add Bible.is This is from “Faith comes from Hearing.” This is kind of neat app that I find using a lot. It has audio, dramatic performance, audio Bible in ESV and other versions. What is nice is that it will automatically go to the next chapter when it is done with the current chapter.
Cross Connect has audio bible (simple reading) for ESV too… and it is nice with a great narrator, but it stops at the end of each chapter. That is a negative for me. However, Cross Connect has sermon audio (as Pax has said) and this includes people like John Piper.
Bible.Is is my preferred Bible for listening… would be nice if the text tracked with the audio, but it does not. I am not much of an auditory learner, but I find that concentrating on the audio reading of the Scriptures has been a real blessing.
YouVersion is VERY handy for quickly changing translations and for short studies while mobile. Good for notes too. I find myself going to it more often than I use Bible Reader (Olive Tree).
I am looking forward to the release of Logos Bible Software’s Android App. Until then, there is a web app and a newer site http://www.biblia.com with 31 free resources… though granted this is no “app.”
JJ
Thanks for all the input. I’ve made some additions and corrections above. I’m curious, those who use BibleReader, which version do you use? I couldn’t find a stand-alone free version and base price version?

I highly recommend BibleReader. They have a free version on Android Market that recently received a major update. The version is listed as “KJV Bible in BibleReader”.
I have Olive Tree’s Biblereader for the Android and it works great….. The question I have or the app I’m looking for is one that would allow me to load up my KJV from Olivetree also and turn the app on and listen as it read my Bible to me…..Is there such a thing. I found it on the computer but no success on my smart phone yet. Thanks in advance….In Christ and Happy, Sutton Col 2:6
