About

BibleMarker

Features
Read full description

BibleMarker is a deep Bible study app built around the inductive method: observe, interpret, apply. Read Scripture in multiple translations, mark key words, add verse notes, and build structured studies that stay private on your device. MARK WHAT MATTERS Create keyword markings with colors, underlines, and custom symbols. BibleMarker can automatically match keywords across chapters and translations, with case-sensitive matching so you can distinguish "LORD" from "Lord." Dismiss false positives, add notes to any verse, and create section headings to organize the passage as you read. RECORD WHAT YOU SEE Track people, places, and times as you read. Create custom observation lists around any theme or concept. Every note and annotation stays anchored to the passage you're studying. SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE View places on an interactive map. See time expressions on a timeline. Fill out interpretation and application worksheets. Write chapter summaries and book overviews. Track themes across your study. STRONG'S CONCORDANCE Tap words in the NASB to see Strong's numbers and the original Hebrew or Greek โ€” helpful for word studies and deeper textual analysis. MULTIPLE TRANSLATIONS ASV is included and ready to read offline the moment you open the app. Download 25+ additional translations from the in-app library, including NASB 2020, NASB 1995, KJV, YLT, LEB, Berean Standard Bible, and more. Multiple languages are supported, including Spanish, French, and German. Compare up to 3 translations side-by-side with synchronized scrolling. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE Your study data is stored locally on your device. Downloaded translations work offline. No account required, no data sent to any server. Free. No subscription.
