Welcome to the Equipd Bible - a powerful Bible reading and personal study app.

What makes the Equipd Bible different from other Bible apps? It has been carefully optimised for daily workflows, from using in the ministry, to daily bible reading and collating your favourite scriptures and study notes. Use it one-handed on your iPhone or in split-screen mode on your iPad. Look up selected verses with the fastest copy scripture tool ever. Personalise this Bible app and make it your own.

* Load compatible Bibles in EPUB format from the Equipd website or other approved sources. Check www.equipd.me/bibles for more information.

* View different Bibles side-by-side for easy comparison. Or read just one Bible full-screen.

* Load multiple languages side-by-side for sharing in the ministry with those from different cultures. Great for language learners.

* Bible Reading Schedules with reminder notifications. You can setup one or multiple schedules at a time. Never get behind on daily Bible reading again.

* For Chinese users or learners ... automated Pinyin, Zhuyin (Bopomofo), Sidney Lau, or Yale romanization can be generated and shown in 2-line format above the Simplified or Traditional characters.

* For Japanese users or learners ... automated Furigana or Romaji in 2-line format.

* Jump from viewing just the selected verses to the Chapter window to get the full context.

* Multiple ways to look up scriptures. Use the 3 scrollers at the top, or the Bible Picker accessed from the toolbar. Use the double-tap or "shake" gestures to show the Picker - great for one-handed use on the iPhone.

* Add study notes against verses. View notes for the current chapter in a side-panel (iPad and iPhone Plus). Access all notes from the toolbar.

* Import MP3 files for offline audio. In Safari locate a MP3 ZIP file and "Open in..." the Equipd Bible.

* The easiest "Copy" scripture feature you have ever seen. Great for copying scriptures into note-taking apps.

* Bookmarks organised by topic or category. You can even put a comment against a bookmarked scripture to highlight a main point or line of reasoning.

* History of scripture lookups.

* Backup and Restore of verse notes and bookmarked scriptures, with backup reminders.

* Clipboard Lookups - just copy a scripture from another document or app, and then open Equipd ... Equipd will try and look it up for you!

* A powerful URL scheme so that you can create links to open scriptures in the Equipd Bible from external apps or documents. The Equipd Bible implements the x-callback-url scheme for developers to integrate with.

* Streamlined workflow and screen rotation for all devices from the iPhone 4S to the larger iPhone 6 Plus, and of course it works great on the iPad. iOS 7 or above is required.

* Split Screen support for iPad mini 4, iPad Air 2, iPad Pro.

Pros and cons of Equipd Bible app for iPhone and iPad

Equipd Bible app good for

a great tool to deepen biblical points that are controversies or are subject interpretations

Can display non-consecutive verses simultaneously. Font size can be adjusted individually for each language – great for showing to a group of people. Ideal tool for multi-language territory.

I use Chinese everyday and needed a bible app that was reliable and easy to use. This is it! For those familiar with the old Equipd app, this is a must have!

I love the parallel translation ability, and access by the URL scheme is really handy.

Miss the old app... But love the reading schedules in this last update. Now if only I could get it to read to me... :)

The "Formula 1" of Bible apps. If you want power, believe me, this one has lots! I dare you, push it to its limits and hang on !!! Look no further, the best Bible app available and constantly getting better.

Some bad moments

I am really Upset because when I download it, I was think that its the one, like my mother, with the publications of the Watchtower inside for preparing my meeting but its not. Its only differents version of the bible... :( I dont want the other one "companion" that you can download because it dont make the same thing that the Equip of my mother have (the old one). i would like to have the other one like my mom.....

I expected but I have deleted this apps. The bible apps attached to Equipad which is your application for JW is much easier to use and simple. Sorry brother, I donated this apps. Also it makes us confused same name Equipad. Hope it shall be solved for brothers and sisters.

While NWT is not available in EPUB, Equipd Bi Ble requires EPUB. This app is for whom?

Not sure why a True bible app would do this. Different Bibles and theologies. Base Bible is same but they have made some key changes to support their theology. I just deleted despite its potential.

Equipd was/ is an amazing program * my most favorite app of all time. I wasn’t happy when Matt (the developer) took Equipd off the Apple store but I understand his reasoning on his decision. Equipd eventually stopped working as he said it would because of code changes from the jw.org site & it really seems he went through a great deal of effort to help existing users to get it to work again & it is for that reason I paid another $1.99 for this app which is similar but uses just the bible. If you loved equipped you will be very happy with this app.

I updated Equip from the current Equipd users Apple alert. From there I found details of the new standalone Equipd Bible app.
