YouVersion continues to update their application and has announced that they’re bringing offline access to their android version. All you have to do is install the update and you’re good to go.

iPhone and iPad users have had this feature for a while so it’s a nice advancement for those that choose not to get sucked into the Apple vortex.

YouVersion announced today that new updates to the iPhone and iPad are on their way and that you can expect things like better search and the use of the retina-display (which I can only imagine is going to make it look gorgeous).

Syncing bookmarks between the device and the web and updates to journals and contributions as well.

And that was all fine and dandy until I received a massive email from the team about how this application is seriously making history. Check it out in full after the jump:

YouVersion for Android Gets an Update


by

YouVersion announced an update to their very popular Bible App for Android which includes over 70 updates to the software.

Speed, some design elements, and overall better user experience are just part of the update:

  • A complete redesign of the entire interface of the app
  • A brand new dashboard for quick navigation of key areas
  • Dozens of small enhancements that make a big difference

Sounds good to me. Read more about the update here on their blog, and then go download it!
