What Bible App do you use?

In 2015 I started using the Bible app called “Olivetree” or “Bible+” consistently in my bible reading. Currently I run the app both on my phone and tablet that are both android based. Currently (March 2016), I have found the pc version of the program not as strong on my laptop, it often will crash.

You get a ESV version of the bible for free when you download the app. Somehow I got a NLT free but do not remember how. For other translations you will have to pay.

It took me a little time to pick up the interface, but I now am able to get around more quickly in the app. For example it took me a little bit of time to understand the different icons.

I would recommend Bible+ app to anyone looking for something more than just a bible reader.

 

Here are a few things I have come to like over the last months about the Olivetree Bible App

Split screen – This is a big one for many. At first it took me a little time to understand how to use it. At times I find I do not need it. However, other times it’s nice to be able to have two translations up together or even two different bible passages together. The latter is helpful when listening to someone give a bible teaching.

 

Interface is still a simple layout- It did take me a little bit of time to get it figured out. However any app will and I have come to appreciate the interface.

 

Sync across different devices – Today this is a must for any app. I have the app on my phone, tablet and laptop. This is useful for notes I make and bible reading plans. The PC version I have found a little shaky.

 

Does not have to be connected to the internet. I do not have a data plan and so I am not always online. What happens is you can download the bible, books (they also sell books), notes, etc. to each device. Once it is there you are good. If you add a note, the next time you get online, you just sync and it will update.

 

More then just a bible reading app. I see with this app great options for deeper bible study. By deeper I mean more bible information collected in one space. Of course you would need to buy some features. They also have a large number of other books that you could run and read within the app.

What bible apps do you use?

 

What bible app you use comes down to personal style, and what others may be using in the community you are part of. Each one has pros and cons.

For my purposes Olivetree seems to serve well.  What do you use?   Create your own user feedback survey
