I have it installed on both my android device and my Iphone. The way I use it is to lookup the bible verses provided by the pastors sermon being preached so I no longer need to bring my physical bible me.

With all the versions supported, I would have to bring 22 bibles to church on sundays if I wanted to go back to life before the app and maintain the same level of variety of versions available.

Not sure I agree, actually — I am not religious, but I do know that the Bible is different than a lot of other books, in that there is already a fairly huge social element to it for many people. This app takes advantage of that in a smart way I think.

No offence to the religious, but apps like this just make me see how silly some of the “social” features are that are being added to apps in general. If a multi-thousand year old storybook can have “interactive and social features” pasted onto it, it means almost anything can. It highlights how ridiculous the rush to paste the “social” onto the side of everything in creation is.

I eagerly await the “Grimm’s Fairy Tales – Social Edition” app that is sure to follow.

Definitely my favorite Bible app, and it just keeps getting better with each version. The only problem I ever have with it is that between about 11 am and noon on Sunday, the server is often so busy that I can’t load the desired passage! 10M fellow users. I guess that explains it. :/ So I have a couple others to fall back on. The Reformation Study Bible is my usual second choice. It has only the ESV, and it’s expensive, but the notes are terrific.

I’ve been using electronic Bibles exclusively for over a decade. I have yet to find an iPhone one that is as good as what I had on my Palm devices, believe it or not. Even the iPhone app by the same company that made the Palm one just doesn’t even come close. Don’t know why. Should be better, if anything. On the Palm, I could switch versions instantly. Absolutely instantly at the touch of a virtual button. Why can’t the far more powerful iPhone do the same?

YouVersion is by far the most used app on my Dell Streak. I love it and use it daily! I also use YouVersion.com quite often, and it is so cool how the app and the website sync. I love YouVersion!

This was one of the 1st app I got for my iPhone 3G in 2008, one of the best free Bible apps on the iOS App store.

This is very good, the apps available are thousands and counting. We need to use them for the good of helping people and not worry about our own needs.

A million installs a month is quite an astounding number — kudos to them! I’ll have to check out the app.
