About this app

The New International Version (NIV) is a completely original translation of the Bible developed by more than one hundred scholars working from the best available Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts.

The initial vision for the project was provided by a single individual – an engineer working with General Electric in Seattle by the name of Howard Long. Long was a lifelong devotee of the King James Version, but when he shared it with his friends he was distressed to find that it just didn’t connect. Long saw the need for a translation that captured the truths he loved in the language that his contemporaries spoke.

Ratings and reviews

Wish this app was more plain. Too many colors and design fluff. Sort of distracting. Take a lesson from Paralell Bible which is very simple and allows you to focus. My old niv84 app dissappeared. Moving on. Too many Ads.

This is an ok app, but the NIV bible is copyrighted. Other than that it works mostly great for its purpose, exactly according to its title. I'm still looking for a great lite Bible app, even if I have to pay for it. Similarly, it would be nice to know if Zondervan was adequately paid.

Section titles that are not part of the Bible are included in verses that follow them. This and other formatting and design issues need to be cleaned up.
