FAQ

Q: Which Bible translations are available in the app?

A: The app includes a wide catalog of translations spanning many languages. From classic versions like the King James Version and the New International Version to newer, community‑driven translations in dozens of languages, you can download any of them for offline reading. The list is continually expanded and updated.

Q: Do I need an internet connection to read the Bible after I’ve downloaded a translation?

A: No. Once you’ve downloaded a translation, all of its books and chapters are stored locally on your device. You can read, search, and navigate the text anywhere—whether you’re on a plane, in a remote cabin, or simply out of Wi‑Fi range.

Q: How does OpenBible keep the interface clean and minimalist?

A: The design eliminates everything that isn’t essential to the reading experience. There are no sidebars, no daily verses, and no suggested content. The home screen simply lets you pick a translation, a book, and a chapter. Even the settings are tucked away so they appear only when you explicitly ask for them.
