Thank You for Helping Launch the Bible App for Kids

Bible App for Kids at #1Even though the Bible App for Kids only launched yesterday, it’s already being enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of kids all over the world. On the first day alone, the Bible App for Kids was installed more than 450,000 times! That means the app was installed 5 times every second, all day long.

Within the first 12 hours of launching, the app quickly gained momentum and garnered high rankings within the App Store.

  • #1 free Kids app
  • #1 free Education app
  • #2 overall free iPad app
  • #4 overall free iPhone app

And there are currently more than one million different apps available in the App Store. Getting so much visibility early on means there is the potential for millions of iPhone and iPad users to discover the app that may have otherwise never even known it existed.

Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, caregiver, or influencer, the Bible App for Kids is a fantastic way you can help the children in your life discover a Bible experience all their own. Designed specifically for children, we’re praying that the Bible App for Kids will help the next generation start engaging now with the grand story of God’s love for them. Thank you so much for your passion to share God’s Word with your kids!

The Bible App for BB10: Now “Built for BlackBerry”

We rewrote the Bible App for BlackBerry from scratch. Now the best version we’ve ever offered on this platform, the Bible App works on all BlackBerry 10 devices—like the Z10 and the Q10! Available for immediate download from BlackBerry World, the Bible App for Blackberry brings you all of the best features YouVersion has to offer:

With more than 600 Bible versions in 375+ languages, find the exact version that’s right for you. Many are even available for you to download to your device—free. So you can read even when you don’t have a reliable network connection.

Audio Bibles read God’s Word to you as you do other things—exercising, working, traveling, even reading along!

More than 600 Reading Plans help you connect with God’s Word every day. Devotionals, topical plans, whole-Bible plans, and partial-Bible plans—with many available in several languages!

Highlights let you mark passages with custom colors—just like your paper Bible!

Private Notes let you capture your thoughts and feeling about passages for yourself, or you can use Public Notes to share them with friends.

Sharing is even easier, with more choices than ever: BBM (BlackBerry Messenger), SMS, email, Facebook, Twitter, Google Talk/Hangouts—even NFC, for those quick exchanges!

Home view displays the Verse of the Day and the Bible App features you use most so you can make the most of your time in the Bible.

With a free YouVersion account, now you can have your same Bible App experience synced across all your devices. One simple sign-in lets you use all your Bookmarks, Highlights, Notes—even Reading Plans—on any device that runs the Bible App. But no matter which device you choose, we’re sure you’ll love this all-new “Built for BlackBerry” version. Be sure you let your friends with BlackBerry devices know about this exciting new release. And come join the ongoing conversations on Facebook and Twitter with your YouVersion friends worldwide!

New Bible App Updates, Another Huge Milestone, and More!

Recently the worldwide YouVersion community completed more than 10 million Plans! Over and over again, you tell us how much Plans help you make God’s Word a daily part of your life. In 2009, we offered just one Plan. At the beginning of 2010, we launched 20 new Plans. Today, we offer more than 550 Plans, and this year alone, we’ve already seen 4.3 million Plans completed. That means that on average, Bible App users are currently completing more than 20,000 Plans a day!
