KJV Bible is an app that includes the 1611 Authorized Version of the Holy Scriptures and provides users with some basic tools to make parsing through them that much easier. It comes with a simple search function as well as the ability to bookmark a particular page, which should help those who are looking for something specific when they open their bibles.

Customization features include the ability to set the typeface and font size, which should prove helpful to those reading on smaller screens. You can make the type extremely small in order to fit as much on a page as possible. By changing the background color, it's possible to make the KJV Bible app useful for dark environments. Many Christians prefer to end their day with a small excerpt from the Holy Scriptures, which makes this feature extremely important. The ability to make it brighter, conversely, will help if you ever need to look at the app in sunlight. It's also good for those who want to bring it to follow along at church services.

While the original 1611 printing of the King James Bible included some books that are commonly read among members of the Catholic and Orthodox communions, this app doesn't include them instead focusing exclusively on the 66 books that nearly all Christians will agree are part of the inerrant word of God. Those who need an academic study bible will find this more than sufficient, but individuals who practice devotional reading may want to supplement the app with some additional material to satisfy the needs of their own confessions.

Highlighting text makes it possible to copy content directly from the app and paste it into any other app. It's relatively easy to share entire chapters as SMS text messages as a result. Though this probably isn't within the original design specifications the developers laid out when they made KJV Bible, it really is a nice feature nonetheless. Frequent users of social media will make use of it, as well as those who participate in some form of online bible study class.

Some people might complain that the app only includes the King James translation, but this should actually prove to be a feature for many downloaders. While the text is certainly dated, the poetic verses of the KJV translation have actually had a profound impact on the English language and many of the most beloved verses of the Holy Scripture are primarily remembered from this version.

Those who are currently working with a modern translation of the Holy Bible might actually want to run this app in parallel with whatever they're currently reading. It's so lightweight that this shouldn't be difficult to do, and it's an easy way to spot translation differences between versions.
