Bible readers

The past few years I have used digital Bibles more and more. I have Logos and also use Olive Tree. Logos is fabulous for study. But I drift more toward Olive Tree. I can use Olive Tree across all platforms easily. Logos is good for that as well. Where Olive Tree works better for me is keeping notes. Olive Tree will sync my notes to Evernote, and both Olive Tree and Evernote can be accessed offline.

I’ve played with FaithLife and You Version, and they have their strengths as well.

But Olive Tree has kept me using digital Bibles and tools far longer than I would have expected.

  1. I have downloaded Olive Tree but haven’t quite learned to like it yet, but I know for certain that I’m liking YouVersion less and less all the time!

    I didn’t know that Olive Tree could sync to Evernote. I may have to check it out again.

    What versions do you read on Olive Tree?

    Have you tried E-sword for iPhone/iPad/PC?

    1. I have tried e-sword on the PC. It’s nice. With Olive Tree, I can get any translation I like. Some I can catch for free from time to time, like New Living and ESV. Syncing to something outside its system is a big bonus for me.

      1. Yes, I got the ESV and NLT free on Olive Tree. They seem to have more reading plans than I thought. The one thing I like about YouVersion is the reading plans.

  2. I use You Version on my phone and Esword on my computer. I was really shocked the other day when checking out “Quick Verse” and another type of program, how they charge big money to include digitalis-ed versions of material that is free on the net.

    I find Esword is more than usable for my uses and have a reasonable number of resources available to purchase with it.
