And Bible in iOS devices

[Benjamin Wetu]

Hey, I really love the And Bible app so much and for me it's the best Bible app ever created. I have being using it for my android phone for a long time now, but I recently switched to an iOS deivce. 

I want to ask if or when will the Bible app be available in iOS, because I believe it will help and bless many people.

God bless!

Hi Benjamin,

I am not one of And Bible’s developers, but if your main concern is the modules and capabilities- we do have on iOS Bishop which is also a CrossWire application , using exactly the same modules as And Bible , but in a different package

Yours

Peter

Hi,

our FAQ answers this question as follows:

Is there version for iOS (Apple iPhone / iPad) in plans?

No, unfortunately this app is exclusively for Android at the moment, and there are no plans to make it for iPhone, as long as there are no easy paths of porting native Android apps to iOS. It would require a passionate professional IOS developer volunteer with significant amount of time available for contributions to join the project to get that done.

Our recommended options:

• consider buying a cheap Android tablet device (however, preferrably with most recent Android version) to take advantage of our app. For something like 50-100€ you will get more than enough power to run our app (yes, it does not need to be that powerfull). Tablet device is best suited for using And Bible as you will surely appreciate the extra cm²s it provides when studying the Bible with multiple windows.
• You could run the app on Windows 11 (it runs Android apps)
• You could install MEmu or BlueStack to run it emulated on older Windows versions or Mac OSX
• For iPhone, there is another sword-based app, called PocketSword, that you might want to try.

Hi Tuomas, 

Could you update the FAQ please and point at Bishop instead of pocket sword as the latter is not anymore getting developed for a good while now.

Thanks!
