Thanks to the gift of mobile technology, Bible study is no longer contained to books or a desktop. You can read and study the Bible while waiting in line, sitting at the park, or listening in the pew—wherever you are. Blue Letter Bible’s mobile app allows you to access our best study tools right in the palm of your hand.

You can dig deep into God’s word with over 30 Bible versions, audio Bibles, text and audio commentaries, Hebrew / Greek lexicon, concordances, dictionaries, advanced word searches, and more. With the BLB app, you can also personalize your study with highlighting, underlining, and note taking options – all with Cloud back up.

New: Version 2.40

Over the weekend, we launched the latest update to the Blue Letter Bible iOS app (iPhone, iPad). The app is now optimized for iOS 7 and has several added improvements. Complete details on this update is below — or you can go ahead and download it immediately for free in the App Store.

    Greetings BLB, Would you please make available an app for the Android platform as there are many more people worldwide that have an Android phone or tablet than the iOS, and the market share for Android is growing rapidly. You would have a very large number of people interested, as I am even now.
    Until then, thank you for an excellent website that my family uses often.

    Thanks so much for the ministry of Blue Letter Bible and especially for the iOS supported tools. I teach many young ministers who have limited funds to spend on resources, and my first tool to recommend after their own personal study Bible is Blue Letter Bible. Thank you so much for what you do!!!!!!

    Unfortunately useless to millions of Android os devices. Is there plans to port it, ever?

    Thx for the great app! You have wonderful resources. Is there a reason why you don’t have the dutch statenvertaling? It is available in the public domain.
