Default Laridian Releases PocketBible in App Store

http://www.laridian.com/iphone/default.asp

"PocketBible has been approved for sale on the App Store. Depending on where you live, it might be available already."

During the introductory period at least, this is a free app. I know some of you have been waiting for this for awhile, and now it is finally in the iTunes store. From the reviews I've read, this appears to be a very useful app. I believe this used to be web based iPhone program, and was finally released in this iPhone version.

This is THE premier (IMO) Bible application for the Windows Mobile platform (and is also available for the PC). I haven't tried this iPhone version, but if it works as well as its earlier incarnations, I'll be extremely happy. AND, the Laridian site says my previously-purchased translations and study guides will all work with the iPhone.

Hallelujah!

This is my final program I needed to completely sever my Windows Mobile ties and the one I've been waiting anxiously for forever. Laridian has done an wonderful job on this program and it's in several ways superior to the WM version.

Yes, they did offer iPocketBible on a subscription basis, and even that is a marvelous piece of web technology. However, it did require an internet connection to be useful and navigating the site was a bit more troublesome than doing it with the standalone program. iPocketBible is now free to those that still wish to use it.

The only things that are missing in the first version of PocketBible for the iPhone for me are notes/highlights sync and split screen. Laridian has them both on their to-do list for future versions.

Laridian is to mobile platform Bible study as Accordance is to Mac Bible study - best of breed. For mobile use, it doesn't get any better (I own other iPhone Bible study programs and they pale next to Laridian's initial offering). The other fantastic thing is that if you already have books from WM or Windows, you don't have to re-purchase them. Everything you already own is available for download to you iPhone (good thing too since I have at least $200 invested in books).
