Best Paralell Bible app available. I find the layout clean and simple. There is more here than meets the eye. Word and verse studies are really nice. Some have complained about the interface being outdated. I find it refreshing AND not distracting. I dislike dual screen apps that force new screens to compare. This app is almost perfect. Make sure auto rotate is turned on. I use this on both my phone and PC. I keep it handy while reading my paper Bible. Hoping to see the UASV in the app.

It has the main feature I am looking for, which is having different versions of Bible and languages side by side. However, the format seems crude compared to other Bible apps (It feels like I am looking at an Excel document.). To give an example, one outdated app had split windows for each Bible that I could change sizes of. Also, the app crashes when I switch from the Catholic version to the Protestant version. I was unable to access the app until I deleted the app cache.

Thank you for your response. Would you please describe the problem of switching from the Catholic version to the Protestant version in more detail? For example, which Bible versions were in your versions set when the problem occurred? Please contact us at support@thebible.org so that we can assist you better.

Very decent app with lots of options to customize translation sets! Just what I was looking for in that regard since I tend to read scripture in multiple translations at once anyway & was sick of switching back and forth on other apps. Not quite 5 stars for me though, since it's pretty limited in the ability to annotate - only being able to select one verse in one version at a time to highlight/export, and I really wish there was some kind of internal note function. Otherwise great though!
