BibleXpress
A while ago I wrote about the possibility of Bible apps on the iPhone/iPod Touch, and now they’re becoming a reality. While I haven’t had a chance to check them all out (plus, I don’t think I have that much money), the one right now that seems to rise to the top is BibleXpress.
While the price point seems steep ($29.99) with so few versions available (4 in 1.01, 2 additional versions are in Spanish), it’s actually not that bad of a price. First of all, whenever new versions are added they will be pushed to existing users at no cost. Until at least 80% of the net price is being paid as royalties the app will be updated.
Second, as of today there is only 1 free Bible app and it’s in Chinese. The other apps range from $2.99 for the KJV to $17.99 for the ESV. BibleXpress not only offers more versions than others, but the price per version (including the Spanish ones) is only $4.99. In the future, it’ll probably be lower.
While I count vouch for all of the features, BibleXpress seems to be the best Bible app in the first round. I’m sure more are to come, including ones that’ll be better, but BibleXpress is going to stick around in my phone for a while.
Edit: No word yet on a Greek text for the iPhone, but it can’t too far away.
