Apple & Android Bible App Narrated By Alexander Scourby
In 2008, Apple introduced the first smart phone, and opened iTunes and began offering the iPhone app. Quickly thereafter, Litchfield developed the iPhone Bible App available from Apple’s iTunes Store. Litchfield also offers a Bible App for Android devices, tablets, iPads, laptops, desktops, and Mp3 downloads. This new application software permitted all 31,102 Bible verses to be put into individual Mp3 files which made the files searchable. The company then created a Bible Verse sharing feature and also a custom Playlist that users could then import their favorite Bible verses to and share both the Bible Verses and Playlists with others.
