BibleReader Free

My most used app. I do all my devotions, Bible study, and Bible reading with this app. Amazing! It had a huge library of Bibles and books to choose from with over 100 of them free. The split screen makes it so easy to pull up study note. The popup window is nice to get more information without leaving the context of what you are reading. Downloading and purchasing more books is easy to do right inside the app. You can take notes and sync them with evernote. Your bookmarks can be organized. Wow!
