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.

  • 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.
