Read everywhere and daily with Bible Authorized Version, the King James Bible app built for reading, searching, saving, and studying Scripture entirely offline, by grace from the KJB Pure Cambridge Edition 1900. Anyone interested in supporting app development may "Tip" from opening Bookcase, and selecting the ⓘ . The objective of BAV is to hide obtrusive distractions while providing advanced tools to learn the source text at a glance. Search the Bible by word or phrase, see where words appear, and compare how often they occur across the whole Bible or within a specific book. Select text naturally, save searches, save verses, and create Selection Groups for deeper study with Colloquies. The Bible is its own dictionary! 0. King James Bible is the infallible word! KJB is 100% free, and for $19.99, Source Text unlock allows USFM imports, or choose to download from available non-copyrighted versions. 1. Choose how you browse: Standard, Historical, or Alphabetical Bookshelves. 2. Decide your focus: Searches will display similar searches and wording, Saved is a primary quick-access selection group, Selections gives specific control over order and grouping of verses, and Colloquies is where you may write and build your own studies now that you have organized selections and can easily track where you were in the Bible from saved searches. 3. Take your focus to a whole new level by pausing where you're at and coming back to it later. Keep studies completely separate, or use each session for one spot in the Bible. So not only can you have unlimited Bibles, you can group each set so if resuming where you left off isn't enough, then you can resume "where you left off where you left off", because each Collection of Sessions has its own "active" Session. 4. Wrap everything together with Gestures and Settings Profiles. Each Settings Profile can have its own Gestures Profile, or all your Settings Profiles can have one Gesture Profile. Gesture between Sessions, Books, Chapters, and Verses depending on your preferred setup. Bible Authorized Version is designed to stay out of your way. Hide or show the interface with one tap, focus on the text, and use widgets (Verse over Photo widget or Sessions widget), notifications, and selections as a study tool for learning scripture. Features: · Sessions and Session Collections: group sessions and maintain separation of concerns as needed to strengthen your focus. · Bookcase and Bookshelves: browse books by order and expand search results. · Reader: customize font display and size settings for comfortable reading. · Search: space-sensitive word and phrase searching by 'match' and 'broad'. · Save, Star, Select, Study: read everywhere and daily - save searches, star your focused verses, select in groups and place groups into collections, and create your own Colloquies. · Local use: works completely on your own device. · Design: intended primarily for Dark Mode use. Specifications: · No opinionated commentary, red letters, or pilcrows (App Presets can be hidden from the Manage Presets option when selecting a Colloquy preset). · Contains italics. · Pure Cambridge. · Customizable Reader: font family, spacing, and all-chapters or single-chapter view.

The Path Few Choose is a Bible study app built around a simple idea: read the text the way it was actually written, and see the historical record that stands behind it. The Path Few Choose is a subscription app: everything listed below is included with the Premium subscription — $7.99 per year after a 7-day free trial. Nothing is sold separately. WHAT'S INSIDE • The full Old and New Testaments, plus the Apocrypha, the Book of Enoch, and the Book of Jubilees — every chapter, not a curated excerpt. • Word-by-word interlinear study for the entire Bible: the original Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic text alongside a literal English rendering for every word, in every chapter. • Faithful translation formatting — narrative reads as narrative, poetry reads as poetry with its original line structure and indentation, laws and genealogies keep their own shape. Mark 5 looks like a story. Psalm 23 looks like a poem. That was the point. • Historical corroboration and contradiction — annotations showing where archaeology, ancient inscriptions, and outside historical sources confirm or complicate the text, sourced and cited, not asserted. • Reading plans and a daily verse to build a habit, not just a reference shelf. • Thematic threads and a people index for tracing a name or an idea across the entire canon. • A timeline connecting scripture to the wider historical record. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most Bible apps optimize for convenience. This one optimizes for going to the source: original languages, original structure, and the historical record, all in one place — nothing watered down, nothing hidden behind a translator's paraphrase. A 7-day free trial is included with the annual subscription. Sign in with Apple to sync your subscription across devices — no separate account or password required.
