Free Bible App audio in background

Control your Bible experience just like your iPod music!

Our latest release of Bible.is for iPhone makes it even easier to read, listen to, and share the Scriptures. I’ve been using the updated app for a few hours now on my 3GS, and I must say, the complete background audio support is wonderful. Grab Version 1.2 from iTunes, and read on to see what’s inside.

Complete iOS 4 multitasking support (3GS and iPhone 4 only)
  • Now you can press play in Bible.is, exit the app, and use iPhone’s built-in multitasking controls to change chapters, pause/play, and get back into the app with just a swipe and a tap.
  • When you come back to the app, you see the text for the audio you’re listening to.
  • Audio automatically advances to the next chapter, so you can listen to Psalm after Psalm or go through all your daily Program chapters.
  • If your phone has gone into Sleep Mode, just wake it up, double tap the home button, and navigate around the Bible just as you would a song on your iPod.
Complete Retina Display support (iPhone 4 only)
  • You iPhone 4 users now have stunning Retina Display graphics to enjoy throughout the app.
Improved animations
  • Transitions between Interface View and Full Screen View are seamless, making for the smoothest reading & listening experience yet.
Improved text experience
  • The default translation, English Standard Version, has been improved in the areas of punctuation and spacing.
User interface enhancements
  • Now you can just hit the Back button from the interface screen to view the other versions and languages available to you. No more going to More/Settings/Language to change your translation
Various bug fixes
  • We’ve resolved lots of bugs reported by you, our amazing users!

Join in the fun of making the best reading, listening, and sharing experience on the iPhone even better!
