I just downloaded the all new Crossway ESV Bible + app, available now in Apple’s app store!
What’s different from Crossway’s free ESV Bible app?
In addition to everything included in the free app, the ESV Bible + app includes the ESV Study Bible!
From the iTunes ESV Bible + page:
The ESV Study Bible at your fingertips. Carry your ESV Study Bible with you wherever, whenever, and share with whomever you want! Crossway is excited to provide the highly regarded content of the ESV Study Bible which includes:
- 20,000 notes focused on especially understanding the Bible
- 2 million words of Bible text and insightful teaching
- Over 50 articles
- Over 200 full-color maps
- 200-plus charts
- 80,000 cross-references
- 40 new illustrations
In addition, the app has a feature I’ve yet to see in other Bible apps – AUDIO!!
Sounds crazy, but faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17). Sometimes you need not only to read, but to hear the word of God.
Anyways, seeing as how the ESV translation is my favorite, I went ahead and purchased the ESV Bible + app. At $9.99, I believe it’s well within the budgets of most iPhone and iPad users, and it’s definitely worth the price in my opinion. While the YouVersion Bible app still has a place on my iPhone, the ESV Bible + app is going to be go to Bible app from now on.
