Hi Everyone!

For many years I was a paid user of Bible Gateway and ESV. I liked both for different reasons.

Bible Gateway's mobile app was broken for me quite often, so I had to rely mostly on the desktop version. ESV has a beautiful app and an excellent reading experience, but many features are behind a paywall and it's limited to one translation.

Apps like YouVersion are also very good and have helped millions of people. But I always felt they didn't provide the kind of focused reading and in-depth Bible study experience I was looking for.

So I decided to build my own Bible app.

I actually started with https://readerbible.app. Over time, I made it responsive and turned it into a Progressive Web App (PWA), so it can be installed directly from the browser. That's currently how iPhone and iPad users use it, since there isn't a native iOS app yet.

Later, I started building a native Android app so I could provide a better experience and support features that are difficult in a PWA.

Today, that app is ReaderBible App.

Some features already available:

• Clean, distraction-free Bible reading
• Fast book and chapter navigation
• Reference, keyword, and semantic search
• Cross-references and commentary
• Translation comparison
• Original language study (Hebrew & Greek)
• Lexical information, morphology, Strong's numbers, and word studies
• Highlights, bookmarks, and personal notes
• Beautiful verse cards for sharing
• Read aloud (supported translations)
• Selected translations available offline
• Ask ReaderBible guided study
• People & Places markers
• Reading presets, typography controls and multiple tones
• Audio Library
• Study/Zen reading modes
• Many Indian language translations, including multiple Hindi Bibles, along with Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi, Gujarati, Odia, and more
• Support for many other international Bible translations as well

The app is still under active development, and I have many more features planned.

If anyone here can spare a few minutes to try it, I'd really appreciate honest feedback. Please let me know what you like, what can be improved, what features you'd like to see, or if you find any bugs.

Thank you for reading. I pray this app will help believers spend more time in God's Word.

God bless! 🙏
