Hi. New Christian here. I just picked this up Thursday and I love it! Not only am I able to read God's word, but it also gives you a daily scripture and devotional. I'm also able to bookmark and save scriptures and make notes on it too. The search makes everything easy to find. I also bought the commentary and Strong's concordance, as well as download the KJV so that I can fully understand everything and make sure everything I interpret from the Bible stays in its context, and I LOVE how easy it is to switch between everything, keeping you at the very same spot. Also love how just from turning my phone sideways can pull up the commentary and bible side by side. I recommend this to everyone. Plus I can read it ANYWHERE!!!!

I love this bible app! It’s my go to bible every Sunday because I can flip to the right passage fast enough but I don’t lose any conveniences I had with my actual bible like being able to take notes and highlight verses. My only wish would be able to underline AND highlight at the same time in the Bible as well as in my notes. Otherwise I love this app! I’ve switched phones even and had no problem getting my backup synced to my new phone. I’ve bought two other versions besides the KJV: the ESV and the NIV. I’ve even recommended this app to other church members. Also, I use the daily verse every single day. This is a great bible app and I highly recommend it!!

I’ve been using this app daily for many years and so appreciate all the attention to detail. The new features and content continue to make it better. I particularly like being able to read multiple translations side by side along with commentaries. Being able to sync highlights and notes between my iPhone and iPad is great. I also enjoy the daily bible verse that pops up every morning to help start my day in the Word. Thank you for your faithful efforts.

Publisher Description:

From Bible Full Version: 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. NIV Bible App Free With Audio BibleThe 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. NIV Bible App FreeFor 10 years, Long and a growing group of like-minded supporters drove this idea. The passion of one man became the passion of a church, and ultimately the passion of a whole group of denominations. And finally, in 1965, after several years of preparatory study, a trans-denominational and international group of scholars met in Palos Heights, Illinois, and agreed to begin work on the project - determining to not simply adapt an existing English version of the Bible but to start from scratch with the best available manuscripts in the original languages. Their conclusion was endorsed by a large number of church leaders who met in Chicago in 1966. A self-governing body of fifteen biblical scholars, the Committee on Bible Translation (CBT) was formed and charged with responsibility for the version, and in 1968 the New York Bible Society (which subsequently became the International Bible Society and then Biblica) generously undertook the financial sponsorship of the project. The translation of each book was assigned to translation teams, each made up of two lead translators, two translation consultants, and a stylistic consultant where necessary. The initial translations produced by these teams were carefully scrutinized and revised by intermediate editorial committees of five biblical scholars to check them against the source texts and assess them for comprehensibility. Each edited text was then submitted to a general committee of eight to twelve members before being distributed to selected outside critics and to all members of the CBT in preparation for a final review. Samples of the translation were tested for clarity and ease of reading with pastors, students, scholars, and lay people across the full breadth of the intended audience. Perhaps no other translation has undergone a more thorough process of review and revision. From the very start, the NIV sought to bring modern Bible readers as close as possible to the experience of the very first Bible readers: providing the best possible blend of transparency to the original documents and comprehension of the original meaning in every verse. With this clarity of focus, however, came the realization that the work of translating the NIV would never be truly complete. As new discoveries were made about the biblical world and its languages, and as the norms of English usage developed and changed over time, the NIV would also need to change to hold true to its original vision NIV Bible Audio App Free. And so in the original NIV charter, provision was made not just to issue periodic updates to the text but also to create a mechanism for constant monitoring of changes in biblical scholarship and English usage. The CBT was charged to meet every year to review, maintain, and strengthen the NIV's ability to accurately and faithfully render God's unchanging Word in modern English Bible NIV. The 2011 update to the NIV is the latest fruit of this process. By working with input from pastors and Bible scholars, the Committee on Bible Translation has updated the text to ensure that the New International Version of the Bible remains faithful to Howard Long's original inspiration.
