Introducing the Blackberry Bible App!

In April we released YouVersion Mobile…in July we launched the iPhone Bible App…and today we’re excited to announce a new Bible App for the Blackberry.

As we’ve been working on the enhancement of YouVersion.com, many of you let us know that you’d like a Blackberry App that took you directly to YouVersion Mobile. Today, you have your wish!

Here are a few ways you can enjoy the Bible App for the Blackberry:

– Use the reader to study any part of Scripture—the entire Bible is at your fingertips.
– Take your pick from 35 different translations available in 19 different languages.
– Search the entire Bible for a word, phrase, or verse, and you’ll get your results in seconds.
– The One-Year Reading Plan provides daily selections to keep you on track when you’re on the go.
– Learn from others by checking out recent contribs.

Over the past few months we’ve been overwhelmed by the response and the feedback that you’ve provided for the iPhone Bible App and Youversion.com, with more than 365,000 iPhone Bible App unique users and the equivalent of 105+ years of time spent in the Bible. Wow!

Thank you all for the encouragement and the great feedback. Our team really appreciates it, as our desire is to see the world engage with Bible, whatever the medium.

You can download the Bible App for the Blackberry today at http://www.youversion.com/bb! We want your feedback! Give us comments, ideas, and support on our YouVersion support page.
