You want to go deeper into the Bible — not just read it, but study it with commentaries, original-language tools, and parallel translations at hand. The Bible App by Olive Tree is built for that, and the app itself starts free.^1
Olive Tree's mission is to inspire and equip people to read and study God's Word through technology.^2 The Study Center tracks the passage you are reading and surfaces relevant notes from commentaries, dictionaries, and study Bibles in your library. You can compare translations side by side, use Greek and Hebrew tools, listen to audio Bibles, and study offline.^3 Five major English translations come free — ESV, NIV, KJV, NKJV, and CSB — plus BibleProject video introductions for every book of the Bible.^3 A Compare view lets you tap a verse number and see that verse side by side across every translation you have installed, in the order you choose.^4
Drew Haninger founded the company in 2000 after building some of the earliest Bible programs for Palm Pilot and Pocket PC. The name comes from Romans 11:17 — the wild olive shoot grafted into Christ.^2 Gospel Technologies LLC publishes the app today, with thousands of study resources and optional Bible Study Pack, Commentary Select, and Classic Commentary subscriptions.^2^5 Classic Commentary opens a library of historic commentaries from voices such as Matthew Henry, John Calvin, Keil and Delitzsch, and Martin Luther, and no subscription is required to use the app or keep individual purchases.^5 It runs on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, and Windows.^2
