Handy bible pro

At first I was upset, after spending money on the NKJV then not being able to download it so I couldn’t use it but I don’t know what I did and for now it is working NKJV is showing up on my list of bibles so I’m happy

Developer Response ,

Hi, please email the questions to "iphone.apps.vincechiu@gmail.com". Thank you.

KodyJ ,

one of the best free apps.

Very well designed app. Only negatives: selection of free Bibles not very good and purchased bibles are a little more costly than other similar apps; takes a considerable amount of space. But I still give it 5 stars.
