  • Laridian PocketBible for the iPhone

    Laridian's PocketBible is an extremely powerful Bible reading, study, and devotional application that has been available for years on Palm, Windows Mobile, and Windows PCs. When the iPhone was launched an online web app service, called iPocketBible, was launched and now Laridian has brought the full PocketBible application to the iPhone/iPod touch for offline reading of your entire Laridian collection.

  • PocketBible splash screen

    This splash screen/logo is modeled after beautiful stained glass and I personally love it.

  • PocketBible in the App Store

    Here is the PocketBible page in the App Store.

  • Quick Start Guide

    I highly recommend you take a couple minutes to at least go through this guide so you can understand the navigation methods.

  • Choosing a Bible

    You need to choose a reference to start reading on your iPhone.

  • Navigation overlay

    Tapping in the center toggles the overlay so you can see the "tap zones".

  • Table of Contents

    Some books have TOCs and others (Bibles) have verse selectors.

  • Search

    Search is a major benefit of electronic Bibles and Laridian does it very well with FAST results.

    Here you can see the results on the left with books and number of results on the right.

    Tapping the Today icon takes you right to your daily devotion.

    There are a ton of different options for you to manage PocketBible to make the experience enjoyable for you personally.

  • Logging in to your account

    You need to login to your account to access and download titles (free and priced).

  • Available references

    Here you can see references that are available in my account to download. Sizes are also shown so you know if you should be connected via WiFi first.

  • Toggling verse selection method

    As you can see you have two choices for how you want to Go To verses.

  • Verse chooser

    This is the default book/chapter/verse selector in PocketBible.

  • Spinner verse selector

    You can use your options to have an iPhone-esque verse selector method too.

  • More Menu options

    Here is the Menu screen farther down where you can manage open books.

    You can choose to have Jesus' words shown in red, just like a hard cover Bible.

    Available verse menu options.

    There are 16 available highlighter colors for you to choose from.
