If you want a Bible study app that goes deep — with Strong's concordance, split-screen commentary, and cross-references — without paying a dime or seeing a single ad, AndBible is the tool serious students of Scripture have been looking for.^1
Built by Bible readers, for Bible readers, AndBible is a completely free, open-source Android app with access to over 1,500 documents in more than 700 languages — including Bible translations like KJV, NASB, and NET, plus trusted commentaries from Matthew Henry and John Gill.^2 Its standout features include split text views for comparing translations side-by-side, workspaces that save your study setup, Greek and Hebrew word analysis via Strong's integration, advanced text-to-speech with bookmarks, reading plans with progress tracking, and Study Pads for jotting notes during sermons.^1 It also supports MyBible, MySword, eSword, and EPUB files, letting you bring your own library along.^2
A recent Document Sync feature copies your entire installed library — Bibles, commentaries, dictionaries, maps, and sideloaded modules — across your devices through your own Google Drive or Nextcloud account, so nothing passes through third-party servers and transfers run quietly over Wi-Fi in the background.^3 A live Reading Progress indicator now shows how far you've read through any EPUB book or Bible book at a glance.^4
Originally developed by Martin Denham starting in 2010, the project is now led by Tuomas Airaksinen under Sykerö Software (Tuomas Airaksinen Software Oy) and sustained entirely by an open-source community and voluntary sponsorships — no corporation, no subscription, no strings attached.^5 Its most recent major release shipped an optional AI-powered study assistant with multi-provider support (Gemini, Claude, OpenRouter), a reading and memorization progress tracker with calendar heatmaps, editable syncable "My Documents," and multi-translation search across Bibles.^6
iOS Has Arrived (in Beta)For years the most frequent user request was an iOS version. As of July 2026, the AndBible iOS public beta is open on TestFlight — anyone with an iPhone, iPad, or Apple Silicon Mac can install and try it.^7 The port is the work of contributor Jared Murrell (Primetheus) over an extended period, with the lead developer now actively involved in unifying the Android and iOS codebases so the two can share a common foundation and reach full feature parity, alongside a planned Material 3 UI redesign.^7
