iPhone Bible Software Will Access up to 10,000 Books











Logos Bible Software iPhone App – Viewing Your Library


Bellingham, WA (PRWEB) November 6, 2009

Logos Bible Software has released a free iPhone app designed to help people get more into Bible study than ever before. Unlike most Bible related iPhone apps, which are merely Bible readers, the Logos Bible Software iPhone app delivers tools and resources to help you study the Bible with your iPhone or iPod Touch in ways never before implemented on a mobile device.

“When we set out to develop our iPhone app, we wanted to replicate the functionality of our desktop software,” said Bob Pritchett, President of Logos Bible Software. “Not only did we do it, but we are now able to reach our greater goal of getting more people into the study of God’s Word by giving this app away for free.”

Currently the Logos Bible Software iPhone app is a free download that can access 30 of the Bibles available at http://bible.logos.com with no registration at all. If a user would like to access even more titles, they may register for an account and get access to an additional 30+ titles from devotionals, to commentaries, to original biblical language resources including:


             Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
             Easton’s Bible Dictionary
             Systematic Theology (Strong)
             New Nave’s Topical Bible
             Morning and Evening
             Strong’s Concise Dictionary of the Words of the Hebrew Bible and the Greek Testament
             Dictionary of the Vulgate New Testament
             And many more…

If you have the newest version of Logos Bible Software’s desktop application, Logos 4, then you will also have access to many of the books from your Logos base package. Currently more than 2,000 titles can be viewed on the Logos Bible Software iPhone app and more will be added regularly until more than 10,000 titles are available on the iPhone. Learn more at http://www.logos.com/4

The Logos Bible Software iPhone app is designed to help you do more than just read the Bible. Dig deeper into the Scripture with the Passage Guide. Enter a verse and click “go” to receive a report linking directly to commentaries referencing your verse. The Passage Guide also provides a cross reference list, media resources, topics, and interesting words. All linked to resources in your library.

A second way to get deeper into Bible study is through a Bible Word Study. Tap and hold any word in a Bible with a reverse interlinear and a pop-up will display the English word along with all the original language information. From this pop-up, click Bible Word Study to see the definition, pronunciation, translations, and example uses of the various translations.

Finally, complete your Bible study by comparing verse across various translations with the Text Comparison tool. Open a verse in Text Comparison and see exactly where each translation differs.

No other Bible app for the iPhone provides the depth of tools for Bible study that the free Logos Bible Software app provides. Visit http://www.logos.com/iphone for more information.

“This effort is all about putting the Bible into the hands and hearts of a global audience,” said Stacy Fornara, CEO of Bible.com, “Our Christian Web site has grown from 172,000 unique visitors per month in 1997 to over 1.5 Million today without much promotion. We have invested significant resources to continuously gift the Bible and provide cutting-edge online resources; our overall goal is to positively impact worldwide exposure of the Bible.”

PocketBible, World?s Top Bible for Mobile Devices, Now Available for Windows

PocketBible, World’s Top Bible for Mobile Devices, Now Available for Windows











Cedar Rapids, IA (PRWEB) December 13, 2007

Laridian, Inc., the leading developer of Bible software applications for mobile devices, today announces the release of its acclaimed PocketBible for Windows. The Windows version is available as a download from the company’s website, or on a USB flash drive – the first PC Bible software that can run from a USB flash drive and also synchronize personal data with a mobile version on a Windows Mobile or Palm OS device.

Laridian designed the new Windows version of PocketBible to make studying the Bible easier than ever. It is distinguished from other PC-based Bibles as it was developed with mobile users in mind. The PocketBible program and library can be used from a USB flash drive so it can easily be run from any computer. Further, any Bibles and books purchased with PocketBible for Windows are compatible with the mobile versions of Laridian software.

“Electronic Bibles should be as portable as those who use them, and PocketBible is designed for those who want to study their Bibles whether they are at home, on the subway, on break at work, or at church,” said Craig Rairdin, President of Laridian, Inc. “Our aim is to not only make PocketBible the most portable Bible software, but also the easiest to use. From the moment you open the program, you’ll find it does everything you want to do with a Bible software program — without the learning curve.”

Bible software like PocketBible for Windows contains the complete text of several versions of the Bible along with dozens of Bible reference books, allowing users to search for passages, find historical and cultural background information, look up the meaning of words, and copy passages into sermons, lessons, and research papers.

A key advantage of purchasing electronic Bibles or books from Laridian is customers will not have to purchase them for another platform when they upgrade to a new device. All Laridian Bible translations and books purchased for one platform can be viewed on any other platform.

A new feature for users of the PC and Windows Mobile Pocket PC versions, and soon to be expanded to other platforms, is the ability to synchronize personal data (such as notes, bookmarks and highlights) between devices. For example, notes entered with a particular Bible passage on the Pocket PC will synchronize and appear when the PC version is being used.

The PocketBible program is priced at $ 10 for mobile versions and $ 29.99 for Windows. Bibles and reference books range in price from free to $ 129.99. PocketBible Libraries, which combine the PocketBible program and a selection of popular Bibles and reference books at a discount, are also available. Complete pricing and product information can be found at Laridian’s Web site: http://www.laridian.com .
