Great find!!!
This app is so great!. I was a missionary in Japan 25 years ago, and I want to start working on reading the Scriptures in Japanese. I love that the English version for each verse is right below, and that the Old and New Testaments are included!. Thank you so much! And it has furigana. Most online Bibles and apps do not. Love it!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this excellent review. I’m glad that the app helps you reading the scriptures in Japanese.
Great resource for Japanese/English learners!
I am native English speaker, and Japanese N2 level (college learned). I did not grow up in the Church, so religious terminology is harder for me, so I like this program a lot. If I could ask for a few features, it would be : 1. A way to send new vocabulary to a dictionary program so I can save words for later review and to understand the meaning. To go along with this, if I could press and hold a word to get the meaning of the word, that would be pretty nice, too. 2. If other church resources could be added, particularly the Young Men / Young Women “Come Follow Me” and Sunday School Gospel Doctrine. Today, in class, I use the LDS Library app on my iPhone in Japanese, and my iPad on English to quickly read and understand in English, and then refer to the Japanese to pick up a few words to comment in class (we attend a Japanese ward). 3. For reading practice, maybe a way to turn off the ateji (kana above the kanji) to cut and paste the scripture into talks or PowerPoints, etc. I love the adjustable text sizing, the ability to turn on night mode, simple way to turn English on/off. Okada-kyoudai, thank you for doing this (from The Senri Ward)!

I really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience and suggestions. With the paid features, you can now copy and paste verses without ruby. Not sure when I’ll be able to meet the rest of your requests but will keep adding more features. Thank you very much for your feedback.
Thank you!!!
This app is the best when trying to read the scriptures in both English and Japanese! I no longer have to go back and forth with two different apps. I love it!! 日本語と英語が両方読めて本当の便利です、ありがとうございます(´∀｀)

レビューありがとうございます。お役に立てて嬉しいです。
Excellent bilingual resource
The English toggle switch is brilliant. In an instant have the English there for comparison and in another instant get it out of the way for smoother continuous reading in Japanese.
I had been looking for a replacement bilingual bible for an app that was discontinued from the US and Japan App Stores, and this fits the bill nicely. I'd tried many, but I couldn't find any that had easy navigation, phonetic guides, and both of my preferred bibles (colloquial for Japanese and King James Version for English. Until this one.
It doesn't seem to have highlighting or notation functions, thus four out of five stars. But I'm very pleased with it overall.
