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.
