PocketBible couldn't be simpler to use! Go anywhere in the Bible by selecting book, chapter, and verse. Split the screen to view Bibles and commentaries side-by-side. Select the "Today" button to read today's devotional or Bible reading plan.

When you install PocketBible, you'll have instant access to the King James Version of the Bible. Upon registration, you'll get access to over 40 other free Bibles, commentaries, dictionaries, devotionals, and more. And while most other Bible apps stop there, giving you access only to "classic" Bibles and reference titles, there are hundreds of Bibles and contemporary reference books available for PocketBible.

We've all experienced the disappointment of "online" Bible software that becomes unusable when cellular signal strength is low or WiFi is not available in our church auditorium. With PocketBible, your Bibles and reference books reside on your device, so no Internet connection is required once they've been downloaded.

Are you already a PocketBible user, perhaps from 10 years ago on another platform? PocketBible can use any of your previously purchased books and Bibles (no matter which platform you originally purchased them for). And if you have notes, highlights, or bookmarks you've created on another platform, they'll sync seamlessly to PocketBible on your iOS device!

Copy and paste
Dpro.Truth

With the update... I can no longer copy and paste the strongs numbers, to show the possible translations of a word. Also, to copy a range of verses is more cumbersome.

I can’t imagine a better bible study tool

I’ve used tools that cost thousands of dollars and those that cost hundreds of dollars and none compare to this for ease of use, cross-platform support and long-term maintenance and support. PocketBible is the one program to get that you will use for the rest of your life. I strongly recommend purchasing this.

I have been using this app for many years now. It was great from the beginning, and keeps getting better.

Set up confusing
VonHawk1960

So I’ve had PocketBible for many years and just last week I was forced to update to the yearly subscription. I’ve always loved having the different tabbed sections and this was the only way to achieve this again. Well I read the instructions and on my iPhone now, I have five huge square blocks that are not tabbed across the top of the page like in the past. And when I select one, I can’t see what’s included. I love the auto study feature and from what I read? There’s no way this feature will work if all of my various readings aren’t selected. Is there no simple way to fix this? If so? I’ll give it 5 stars again.

Where is it!
Bildad-7

I loaded not the latest but the version before it (iOS operating system on iPhone) and things.changed in Pocket Bible. NASB with Strong numbers is no longer there. I found it on device so I selected it and it appeared in my list. When I selected it to open it, all that appeared was the NASB Bible and NO STRONG NUMBERS AND CONCORDANCE! Very frustrated!

Search function

The changes have made this almost unusable. When I put in “new heart” I get every verse with anything that even sounds like that—such as: knew, know, herd, Herod, Herodias, etc. So many verses come up that I can’t find what I want.

New version messed up back button
Tdh09876

So like a lot of the new features ... but why did you mess up the back button?? When you choose a link within bible text to another passage, you now can’t go back to the original passage!!! Cmon man ... this is basic stuff One of the greatest features for providing context in study is now gone?? Not good not good It’s a shame too because it was such a great program ... now just annoying
