The Holy Bible King James Version iPhone app Review

Description:

There are a lot of different free versions of the Bible out there, however not all of them are great ways to navigate through the Word of God.  The Holy Bible King James Version iPhone app is a paid version of the Bible and lets you navigate through the app easily and efficiently.  One of the great things about this version is the ability that you have to actually search through the complete version of the Bible.  This search function works great and saves you the hassles of having to manually find books and chapters.  You can also record any audio notes that you want.  This way when you receive revelation or inspiration from a certain scripture you can then just speak your mind without having to try and type it out on your phone.  The King James version is the original English translation of the Bible from 1604 and was initially published by the Church of England in 1611.  There are so many different translations of the Bible now that sometimes people can lose the truth in translation. This translation has held true through the test of time and is sure to enlighten you and make you into a much better person

Features:

• There is a bookmarking feature that you can use to be able to save your favorite passages for future reference.  This is a great way to save inspirational scriptures and refer back to them at a later time
• You have the ability to write down notes of your thoughts and impressions that you will have as you are reading through different passages of scripture
• You can view the app in two different modes depending on what is most comfortable to you.  This involves both the landscape and portrait modes
• There is also a few different lighting modes that you can do as well. There is a day mode where it is optimized to be able to read during the day and a night mode to help you see better in the dark
• Once you have downloaded the app you won’t have to have any kind of internet connection in order to view the app.  This offline reading mode is great so you can read whenever you get a chance
• The app will automatically open up to the last spot that you were reading so that you won’t ever have to worry about losing your place
• You can search with the highlight feature or you can just browse through the chapters and books

Conclusion:
