angel.eyes Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 For those of you with smartphones, are there any apps that you find especially useful or helpful? I used Youversion's Bible for a couple of years and loved it. A couple of months ago, it started acting wonky and causing my phone to hang up and stall even when the app wasn't open. Finally, I was forced to uninstall it. I'm still looking for a replacement. Any suggestions? Preferably free. What do you use, if anything? 1
pie2 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Someone recommended this bible study app to me. On another note, I just heard that there is a Catholic Confession app designed to offer a "personalized examination of conscience". But it comes with a price tag... 1
TheFinalWord Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 I like the biblegateway app... BibleGateway Mobile App It will give you verse of the day and all kinds of cool resources! 1

Thanks for the suggestions. Hadn't heard of either. Interesting idea to have Catholics confess via an app! I wonder how it compares to confessing to a priest. Anyway, I'm trying out the Faithlife Bible app. So far, so good. 1
Author angel.eyes Posted May 2, 2013 Author Posted May 2, 2013 I hadn't thought about this as an app! I use this from my phone everyday as a Bible without even thinking about it. I love that it has every conceivable translation and allows you to compare two translations side by side. It's pretty much replaced my hardcopy Bible, unless I want to take notes, or I'm not sure exactly where a particular quote, is but can find it by flipping pages. Hadn't realized there were reading plans and other useful features. Now that I'm looking at it with fresh eyes, I see it even has the ability to let me take notes! Yay! I like the biblegateway app...

I've never used the app, but I love that you can highlight passages, etc. I actually feel like I'm starting to neglect my hardcopy bible, which has been with me since accepting God into my life. I guess it's really the words in the bible that matter, lol. But my bible is really special; it's gone everywhere with me . 1

I guess it's really the words in the bible that matter, lol. But my bible is really special; it's gone everywhere with me . Funny! Similar story for me. I've used the same hardcopy Bible since my baptism, but over the past few years, I've switched to using my phone to read the Bible. It's a little sad, actually. The good news is that I reference the Bible much more than I used to since I always have my phone on me--work, out with my friends, wherever. Whenever a thought or question pops into my head, I look it up right then. That wasn't true with the Bible. I carried my Bible when I expected to need it.
