BibleScope

BibleScope is a Bible study application designed exclusively for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It was designed to have a great user interface to maximize reading of the Word and to allow interaction and use of various Bible study methods.

  • Settings screen now within BibleScope. Settings include background, font, font size, colors and more.
  • No Internet connection needed. All Bible content is locally within the app.
  • Bars at the top and bottom slide in/away with a press of the screen.
  • Split-screen display that shows two Bible versions simultaneously.
