Could you add a link to a printable one year plan that is the same as what’s on the YouVersion reading plan? That way if you have an accountability partner w/o an iphone yet, they can still be on the same plan.
Thanks!

I am so pumped about this I can’t wait to get my iPhone (I had to wait a month cause of ATT contract) now I will really take the word with me every where I go. Thank You all @ lifechurch for the wonderful things that you do, God bless

This is an awesome ministry! I saw it on a friend’s iPhone this weekend and it almost is enough to get me to switch from Verizon to AT&T. Thanks for always thinking, dreaming and serving the Kingdom!

I hope you’ll have a version for Symbian based phones (Nokia, Sony Ericson, etc).

Steven,

I don’t know how or if that is possible with our app.

Daniel,

We have a analytics library built into the app which give us feedback about how long the app is open. You are also correct that the Bible is not downloaded on your phone…it is only available while you are connected to the Internet (which for most people is nearly all the time). We hope to make some versions available offline soon.

Great app. Thanks for making God’s Word more accessible to today’s “plugged in” generation.

Great app. I’m enjoying it as well. Thanks for everything.

I am curious and have a question. How is the app counting the minutes of use? Is it connected to a server the entire time I’m reading? I guess I had assumed all of the scriptures were installed ON the iphone. Yes, I know that the user contributions are online, the bible text is as well???

I’m behind times with technology, I don’t even own an iPod yet, much less an iPhone, but if I did I would use your app.

Some of those minutes belong to me. I REALLY appreciate this application. My iPhone is CONSTANTLY in my hand so being able to read the Bible so easily is very convenient. This morning I read the first 3 chapters of John’s gospel while cooking breakfast and waiting for the water to warm up for my morning shower. This is an AWESOME app that I’ve recommended to friends.

Thanks again,

Donny

PS: thanks also for featuring me and XXXChurch on last October 7th’s “Porn Sunday” - I don’t think I’ve personally thanked you for that
