Re: best off-line NIV Bible app
I've found the YouVersion to be the most user friendly and richest in features. I looked at the OliveTree Bible today and just couldn't get it to work no matter what I tried. I may be missing something of course and would be interested to hear from others if they've found it successful. The app associated with Bible Gateway lacks some features and it's not my preference. There is a study Bible out there, can't think of the name right now, and I'd like to try that one; so anyone with knowledge of this, please let me know. Thanks.

The YouVersion one can be downloaded, by the way, though you can use it from the server if you prefer. See my last message for additional comments. Carol P Original Message From: "Raul A.

Re: best off-line NIV Bible app
Hello friends, I'm a retired pastor, having served in a rural parish in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America for 32 years. When I recently got my iPhone, I too searched for good Bibles for my phone. Here's what I discovered with the help of a partially sighted Lutheran Christian member of our local congregation. 1. Bible Gateway's great, especially online. I haven't tried the app,, and, until now, didn't know an app existed. Thanks for that information. A good thing to know when using Bible Gateway on line is to use the really accessible mobile version. To do this simply go to www.m.biblegateway.com, and you'll avoid all the advertising when searching for your favorite passages and favorite translations. Another unfortunate glitch in this program is that the Bible most used by many main-line Christians, the New Revised Standard Version is not available on Bible gateway because of copyright issues. Thus, to obtain access to this translation, I got the iBooks app, went into it and ptyped NRSV in the search field and got the bible from iBooks for $9.99, not a bad price for a Bible. It's quite accessible, though you'll have to play with it some. It also has the apocrypha, those books written between the Old and New Testaments found in many Bibles including the Catholic Bible. I am sorry you tried the olive tree Bible. The reason it can't be accessed at all is that it is a totally graphic app. Wouldn't it be nice if the app store could help us know such things before we pay to download some of its apps? Case in point, the person whose message I read on this list about trying to access Sirius/XM on the iPhone. Some of us Sirius/XM users have already discovered this app's inaccessibility. I actually canceled my subscription and got credit back on my Visa card because I called attention to this problem. For the avid radio buff like myself, I suggest tune-in radio. It's a buck 99 paid all at once and you're done! It's totally accessible and has access to more stations across the globe than you'll ever need! Chances are, your own local station's in the tune-in radio cue! Getting back briefly to accessible Bibles, you have two great choices,: Bible Gateway and iBooks. Good luck, and, if you want other Bible accessible ideas outside the iPhone, feel free to contact me off-list for my phone number which I would gladly post but don't know if that's allowed. Or you can give me your number and I'll get back to you.

Re: best off-line NIV Bible app
I agree, the mobile site of the Bible Gateway is good; but I personally like being able to keep some Bibles on my phone for the times when you have no internet connection and the YouVersion works very well.

Re: best off-line NIV Bible app
Thanks Carol. I'm always adding to my accessible library of Bible resources. I hadn't heard of the YouVersion, but will get it. Is there anything special I should know about it that you can tell me in advance of my purchase? Can I access it right away without sighted assistance? Actually, the NRSV Bible from iBooks is also one of those to-go Bibles for anywhere use. How far we've come since those days when I was first given my King James Bible in braille. Needless to say, the New Testament went most places with me, and got a lot of use! I'll try out the YouVersion on your recommendation because I too love to take the Scriptures with me everywhere. I have some other suggestions which I'll gladly share off-list so as not to bore everyone with this present subject. I'm always excited to learn what others find accessible. Again, many thanks!

Re: best off-line NIV Bible app
No problem. Here's what I discovered that will help anybody wanting the YouVersion app. Download the app to your phone. But sign up on the computer. It's really easy to do it that way. Just go to www.youversion.com and sign up either before or after you download the app. The captia and other stuff is only present if you try to sign up on the app itself. I haven't downloaded any Bibles yet. But I'm sure I will. Thanks for all the discussion on this subject, and for giving me yet another accessible program to share with friends and colleagues in ministry.

Re: best off-line NIV Bible app
All, Thank you for all the feedback. I have noticed in the YouVersion that one can download varioius Bibles for off-line use, unfortunately NIV isn't one of them, so maybe I'll download another one as a "backup" Bible.
