Bible in Context is a free, offline-first Bible study app. Five public-domain translations are bundled in the app, so you can read with no internet: • Berean Standard Bible (BSB) — modern and easy to read. This is the default. • World English Bible (WEB) • King James Version (KJV) • American Standard Version (ASV) • Young's Literal Translation (YLT) The verse of the day is shown in the translation you are reading. A reminder at noon brings that verse while the app is closed. Press Listen to hear a chapter, or a single verse, in your phone's voice.
