Online Bible is a program that lets you read, study, and compare different versions of the Scriptures. It also features several Bible-related books by reputable religious scholars. The program allows you to open a given verse, chapter, book, definition, and so on directly from the Open menu or using the graphic toolbar at the top of the interface.
Although the default desktop of the program may seem too crowded, you can create your own desktop with the features of your choice. Thus, you can set the program to show, for example, a portion of the Gospels, a chapter of one of the books, a part of a devotional, and so on, so you can read the parts in which you are interested without the need of opening and closing windows. The process is not easy, though, so you may want to read the Help file before using this and other functions.
You can add more books, audio files, and Bible versions. To do so, you need to order them from the developer's website.
Maybe the only drawback is that the interface is rather unattractive and the desktop-creating process is not very easy to follow, as we have said. Otherwise, this program can be useful for clerics, Bible scholars, and for any person interested in the study of the Christian Bible.

- Tabs can be coloured. If you do not like the default colours, change them in the menu Tools/Customise/Colours. Select Tabs. You can change the text colour, background or normal colour for an unselected tab and the highlight colour for a selected tab. The old default of the white colour does not show up well on some monitors.
- In "Prepare Modules for Mobile or Tablet Devices" under the Tools menu in the Online Bible, the new Android path are specified for internal and external storage on the device. If you select these when your device is plugged into your desktop, Online Bible modules can be copied directly to your device and placed in the proper path for the program. The new path is Android\data\nl.cross_link.droid.olb\files\OnlineBible. Before the path was OnlineBible in internal storage. The program automatically searches the old directories as well as the new ones when it starts up after being removed from memory. All files placed in this new path are deleted when the application is uninstalled whereas before they were not deleted if placed in the OnlineBible folder in the root directory.
