With Gizmodo reporting over 1,000 apps in the iPhone app store devoted to the Bible, it could be hard to figure out which one is best. I did an in depth review of Bible apps in Christian Computing Magazine before I joined the Notebooks.com team. In that review I found that the three best were Laridian PocketBible, Olive Tree Bible Reader, and Mantis Bible.

As with most iPhone apps, the development cycle is swift so some of what I reported is already out of date. A new app released since that review is from Logos Bible Software and deserves a spot on the list. The most popular is YouVersion, but it does not have all the features and study tools available in the other four. All four of these are free to try. All except for YouVersion have very advanced tools for studying the Bible as well as ways of helping you set up reading plans.

Currently I am using Logos for daily reading, OliveTree for taking notes when I am in worship, and I use Mantis and PocketBible when I want to use the books I have purchased for those apps that are not available on the other two.
