BibleReader for iPhone- Continuing Improvements

Brent Kercheville

As I have posted previously, I have been using a beta version of OliveTree’s BibleReader for the iPhone. It is exciting to see a company take the information from the beta testers and improve the product. The latest beta release has improved and faster scrolling. This was one of my previous criticisms of the BibleReader.

I am sure that I am not the only one who has purchased software only to watch the company let that software become obsolete. When it comes to software, I like a company that will keep updating and improving to give consumers the best possible product. That is the reason I use Accordance Bible software from my Bible studies and it is why I am using OliveTree’s BibleReader. You can also purchase Bible reference material from your iPhone. What an excellent feature!

If you want a Bible to read and study from while on the go, pick up this application.

    I used OliveTree’s products back when I had Palm and Handspring devices, so I’m well aware of this fine company. However, I think you would do yourself a service to download Mantis Bible Study’s free version and test it for the iPhone. It has become my primary device for use in worship and Bible classes (at least the ones I’m not teaching!) because of its portability and the fact that it answers most of your concerns about the OliveTree beta – colored numbers for verses, the ability to bookmark, make notes on any verse, even highlighting in multiple colors, and – one of the most important things for me – has both the NASB and the NASB with Strong’s Concordance built in (touch a word to see the Strong’s number, the Greek word, and a short definition). It will take something spectacular to move me from this product.

    Thanks for your work on this website.

    Sorry, need to clarify that the NASB and a number of other versions are all paid upgrades (as would be the OliveTree if they price it like they do the Accordance products). The KJV, I believe, is the only translation that comes in the free version.
