Sword Drill

Remember "Sword Drills" in Sunday School? The teacher whould announce a verse and see who could find it and read it to the class first. This app was built from that concept. It provides an expedited view of bible chapters/verses from BibleGateway.com. It add quick buttons to select the last several verses/passages most recently retrieved which enhances Bible study cross referencing. This was my first app first published when the App Store was barely a month old back in 2008. It was pulled from the store when the original 32 bit apps were disallowed because at the time I didn't have the time to update it. With the advent of AI, I was able to feed my old project and have AI turn it into a modern SwiftUI version in just a few minutes. There are other Bible Reading apps out there but this one is lightweight and agile in ways that are helpful. Sword Drill is a focused, native front-end for Bible Gateway. Pick a book, enter a chapter or verse, choose a translation, and read — without ads, banners, or site navigation getting in the way. FEATURES • Distraction-free reading — Ads, banners, and page chrome are automatically filtered out so you see only the passage text. Ad network requests are blocked to save bandwidth. • Three translation buttons — Tap KJV, NKJV, NASB, or customize the buttons in Settings with any version Bible Gateway supports. • Recent passages — Your five most recent lookups appear as quick-access buttons for fast reference. • Keep screen awake — Toggle the screen lock so your device stays on while you read or study. • Designed for accssibility. Every control has been enabled for voice over and color scheme updated for those with color discrimination issues. Sword Drill is not affiliated with Bible Gateway.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sword Drill at none against Bible Spin's 4. Bible Spin's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
