NIV Bible app review: get the most popular Bible versions in one convenient location 2021

Introduction

Featuring dozens of Bible Translations in not just English but 14 other languages, NIV Bible boasts one of the most comprehensive collections of popular Bible versions all in one iPhone and iPad bible app.

I have reviewed a handful of iPhone Bible apps recently and they all have the same features in some permutation or combination, such as the ability to mark passages, make notes, sync with all iOS devices, and powerful search engines.

I have to admit though, it seems like NIV Bible takes all the best features and encapsulates it seamlessly into one of the best bible apps for iPhone and iPad that I've come across. Keep reading our NIV Bible app review to learn more about this app.

Study And Save

The user interface of NIV Bible is fairly foolproof. Whether you're a tech savant like me or a little behind the curve, you will easily be able to figure out how to use this awesome app.

You can write as well as put titles on personal notes at any part of the Bible. If you wish to use highlighting options, you can vary the color so that you can differentiate between different important bits of text.

Most versions available on this app also have Jesus' words in red. You can leave bookmarks on any page so that when you come back to this app, you can quickly pick up where you left off.

All this can be saved on your just1word.com account; you can also sync with your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and other iOS devices, ensuring easy access from anywhere.

Bibles can be downloaded for use even in offline mode, enabling you to continue reading, studying, and feeling closer to God whether it's on your daily commute to work or at church itself.

Bible Versions & Smart Search

Although the app is named NIV Bible, it brings to the user a wide variety of Bible translations other than the New International Version all for free. This includes the King James Version (KJV), Contemporary English Version (CEV), and New Living Translation (NLT). Over five other Bible types are available as in-app purchases.

There are several other translations available in other languages including but not limited to Arabic, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Swedish, Traditional Chinese, and Ukrainian. There are eight Spanish variants of Bible translations.

The Smart Search is a great search feature which gives you the power to search for specific topics, passages, or phrases. Results are instantaneously produced and can be sifted through quickly by filtering, though the search results are by default listed in order of relevance.
