Bible Study app by And Bible Open Source Project is a powerful, yet easy to use, offline Bible study application for Android. The app is developed by Bible readers for Bible readers. It does not aim to be simply a Bible reader, but focuses on being an advanced tool to do in-depth personal Bible study. The best part about this non-profit community project is that it is open-source, completely free, and contains no advertisements. Built from the ground up for Android, it is a small download, and therefore very efficient and remarkably fast.

Comments and Reviews
Besides being open sourced and easily checked for privacy and security issues, And Bible features layout customization that's well suited for interlinear and parallel study and automatic scrolling when navigating multiple Bible versions. The app provides tons of free and open resources that, once downloaded, are totally accessible offline. Best of all, it's ad-free, cost-free and doesn't even require signup.
