Tecarta’s The Holy Bible – King James HD

Tecarta produces a very capable Bible reader that is so good it is almost ready to compete with the more powerful Bible study apps from the likes of Logos, Mantis, Olive Tree and Laridian. But I still chose to keep it among the Bible reader apps since it is not quite as advanced as those apps.

Tecarta has a lot to offer including in translation purchases of more modern translations like the NIV, The Message, NLT and NKJV. They are all $5.99 extra. If you want you can just buy the NIV version outright instead of this one. The NIV version is also $5.99.

The video review highlights the features, but some of the nicer ones include note taking which works as a window along the right side or can be expanded to fill the whole screen. There is a parallel view for showing multiple translations. You can also get content out via email or copying to other apps. It also has a night mode, which many readers do not. Other features include bookmarks and red letter in the NIV and TNIV.

My only complaint is that the parallel modes do not sync up with one another so that if you scroll in one the other translation follows it. But it is a very good reader app for not a lot of money.
