Ratings and reviews

I loved this app many years ago on my pocket pc and I continue to check in for nearly 20 years to see if the functionality has returned. Sadly, you still cannot highlight individual words or phrases. Still have not found an app that allows for a full inductive study. I also have not been able to recover any of the notes taken on that Pocket PC. Still looking for some features in a Bible app. Not sure if I will use this much as it doesn't have any better features than Youversion.

I have been using three different versions of PocketBible: Windows Store, Windows PC, and an Android tablet version. I have a Galaxy SkyPro phone which gets filled up quickly. Over the last few days, I installed PocketBible on my phone and to my surprise the app allows you to choose where to store all of the Bibles, commentaries, dictionaries, with an option to store them on my SD card. The app is quicker than any of my other Bible apps, has a great user interface, and is highly customizable!

I have had this app for close to 20 years. It is seamless from one devise to the next. Over the years I have accumulated many books, some purchased, some were giveaways, that follow without ever a problem. The Pocket Bible easily followed me from Android to Apple as well as back and forth within the multitude of different devices at one time. My own notes and highlights show in all my Bible versions. This is one of the few apps that is close to perfect!
