While there are already many versions included in the app, these are the ones which have been added in this app release. Can't find the version you want in the app? Then check out the road map below for information on how to request a specific Bible version.
Please take note that currently the app is limited in that it only generates random verses from the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible and all books names listed are in English from the KJV. Choosing any other version in any other language will not change that. However; choosing a different version will allow the app to attempt to open the verse in your preferred version/language. In some cases there is not a matching verse with the same verse reference and in those cases tapping on the reference will not correctly open in your selected version/language. Make sure you unselect any books which are not included in your selected version to help with this issue.
Android 4.1 and higher
- Devices running these versions of android should receive this app update as soon as it is approved for release in the Play Store and begins a rollout to all devices.
Android versions 4.0.3 and lower
- Devices running these versions of android will not see an available version of the app in the Play Store. If they already have an older version of the app installed it will remain playable but if uninstalled the app may be lost until a newer version of android is used. Android Studio and the Play Store are constantly requiring newer and newer versions of android and as such older versions are no longer supported. Upgrade your version of android to get access to this app. As of today >99.9% of all active android devices in the world run versions newer than this. As for this app specifically all current users are running newer versions of android than this.
Road Map
- 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.
Status: Up next on the chopping block, hope to start working on this soon. - 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. I hope to add a way for users to add versions on their own without the need for an app update.
Status: Hoping this will be part of the "Other Bible Apps" feature. - 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.
Status: Long way out, if at all. - Public Domain Text
I would like to add the King James Version (KJV) so that the actual verse text will show up with the reference.
Status: Long way out. - 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.
Status: Not started. - Widget
Add widget with an occasionally changing verse reference.
Status: Still dreaming. - Watch
Would love to get this running on an Android watch someday.
Status: Still dreaming.
