BibleScope
BibleScope is a Bible study and reading app to help you study God's Word.
BibleScope has many free translations available for download, and additional ones available for purchase including the NIV, NASB, HCSB, MSG, ERV, NET Bible with commentaries and more.
NOTE: There have been some confusion in the reviews about the translations costing money. Most of the translations are free to download. The ones that are freely available (like the KJV, KJV with Strongs, NET, and more) are free to download. The only ones that you would have to purchase are NIV (includes TNIV and NIrV), NASB, HCSB, MSG, and NET Bible with full notes. All the other translations are free to download.
** No internet connection needed to view the Bible. Once the translation is downloaded, you will not need an internet connection to read.
Features include:
- Bookmarks, Notes with folders for organization
- Send a verse as an email, a tweet, or a facebook status
- Split screen view to show two translations at once

- Bars at the top and bottom slide in/away with a press of the screen
- Words of Christ in red for the KJV, WEB, NIV, and NASB translations
- Landscape view to read Bible in widescreen, or to view split screen translation side-by-side
NOTE: NIV purchase is only available in North America. I am currently trying to get the license rights for other countries.
