MyBible for iOS – app description

What this app is for?

MyBible will help you study the Bible carefully and deeply. It will make the Bible more convenient to read, as you will always have it with you without the need of an Internet connection. Bible translations in more than three hundred languages are available, including the original texts and early translations in ancient Greek, ancient Hebrew, and Aramaic. In MyBible you also have commentaries, biblical dictionaries, thesauruses, daily devotions, and powerful tools to help them all work conveniently together.

How did it start?

The author of MyBible, who previously used a PalmOS-based PDA, created this application because in the entire Android world he could not find any Bible Study application comparable to PalmBiblePlus, which was unsurpassed at its time.

MyBible for iOS was created by repeating the functionality of MyBible for Android on iOS.
