Best Bible Study Apps #1 – YouVersion

YouVersion Bible App has been downloaded to 130 million devices. I regularly use the YouVersion app during church services and to catch up on my bible reading plans. I love the audio version of the bible. Hearing the bible provides an entirely new perspective on familiar passages. I can imagine the apostle Paul writing his letters, which were read out out to the believers in the early Christian church.

One of my favorite tricks is to use the YouVersion Live function, then email it to Evernote. In just a few clicks, I’ve got my pastor’s sermon notes into Evernote where I can edit, tag, add to-do’s and photos to my pastor’s notes. The result is searchable sermon notes in by electronic brain–Evernote.
