With millions of online and mobile users, YouVersion is teaming up with Glo the 2010 Bible of the Year to inspire and encourage people to read the Bible in a whole new way. This partnership will bring two innovative like–minded technology organizations together to promote Bible engagement.
Bobby Gruenewald, Pastor, Innovation Leader at LifeChurch.tv (creators of YouVersion), said:
By merging the timeless wisdom of God’s Word with devices people use every day, we’ve seen firsthand how technology can boost Scripture engagement. Bringing YouVersion into the Glo environment offers individuals powerful tools to interact with the Bible, and we’re excited to see how they help people learn and grow.
While their mission is the same, their platform focus is different. The Bible App by YouVersion is the most downloaded Bible app on mobile devices, while Glo focuses on desktops and tablet devices that best showcase experiential zoom capabilities and high-resolution media.
Because of this partnership, for the first time YouVersion features will be made available inside a desktop application on Mac and PC. The collaboration includes the ability from within Glo to access YouVersion notes, add public & private notes, view community notes, and synchronize bookmarks on Glo for Mac, PC and iPad (iPhone coming soon).
Nelson Saba, CEO of Immersion Digital, makers of the Glo Bible, said:
Since Bobby and I started discussing the potential of the Glo and YouVersion collaboration, we were excited about the possibilities of sharing technologies because we both want to increase Bible engagement in modern ways. It’s great to see these two technologies integrated under a shared vision. I hope the synergy between the two platforms will help many more people engage with the Bible.
Both YouVersion and Glo are available as free downloads. Glo can be downloaded for the iPad from the app store, and for Mac and PC users from the Glo website. YouVersion is available on the YouVersion website, as well as in iTunes, Android and Blackberry app stores. For existing Glo Lite or Glo Premium users, a simple update is needed to access this new feature: YouVersion in Glo.
