Update Released
Version 0.7.7316-Beta
This app has been published exclusively to the Google Play Store. Do not trust copies from third parties.
Change Log
- Added almost 30 new Bible versions in several different languages. Versions added based on the top countries the app has been downloaded in so far. (Demographics provided by the Google Play Store, as they do for every single app on the Play Store. The Random Verse app doesn't track any user locations through the app.)
- Now includes:
- Afrikaans
- Benin
- Croatian
- English
- French
- German
- Indonesian
- Javanese
- Oromo
- Portuguese
- Riang
- Romanian
- Slovak
- Spanish
- Tagalog
- Tangkhul Naga
- Waray
- Xhosa
- Zulu
- Please note that currently the only version the app displays books from or chooses random verses from is the King James Version (KJV) in English. Meaning if you select a different language or version you will still see the KJV book names and KJV references. However; if you tap the verse reference it should try to open the verse in your selected language or version. For now this will cause issues if the verse in the KJV does not match up to a verse in your selected version.
Road Map
- Stop converting between versions
Redesigning so that it no longer picks random verses from only the King James Version. Currently it picks those then tries to convert those to other Bible versions. Instead it needs to randomly pick from the other versions directly. In doing that, all selected verses will work and even the book names will appear as they do in those other versions. - More Bible versions and languages
If you use this app and would like a specific Bible version added please find it on this page of Bible versions and contact me through the app to let me know. No promises, but I'll see what I can do. - Themes / Colors
As requested by users, I would like to give an option to choose colors of the app, as well as light vs dark mode. - Recent History
I want to keep a small recent history list so that users can easily go back to verses they have gone to before from the app. - Widget
Add widget with an occasionally changing verse reference. - Other Bible Apps
Ability to open verses with many other popular Bible apps, currently it always opens in the most popular Bible app. Adding BibleGateway should be pretty easy to do someday and will likely be the next one I try to integrate. If you prefer another Bible app and would like verses to open in it please contact me through the Random Verse app to let me know. I won't be able to add these for sometime, if ever, but I would really like to start keeping a list of which Bible apps users want the most. It's actually very hard to do and may not be possible to do, as it depends heavily on their app and how they have it setup to open outside links. - Watch
Would love to get this running on an Android watch someday.
