I recently wrote about the best Bible apps anyone can download.

But for iPhone users, there's one app that outshines them all: Logos

I'm a big fan of the Logos Bible App. Here's why it's the best bible app on iPhone:

Extensive Library of Resources

Logos offers 95 free books and resources the moment you sign up. That alone is worth the 2 minutes it takes to create an account!

They have a massive library of resources. The sheer size of their library makes Logos a tool that every pastor and Bible scholar should consider. While there is a charge for most of what's in their library, they regularly offer sales and bundles.

Their resource library includes:

1. Commentaries - Logos offers an extensive collection of commentaries from renowned scholars and theologians. You'll have access to a wide range of perspectives, historical insights, and theological interpretations. I've used Logos for this reason more than any other.
2. Lexicons and Original Language Tools - If you're interested in the original languages of the Bible, Logos provides a robust set of lexicons and original language tools. This feature allows users to explore the nuances of Greek and Hebrew words.
3. Historical and Cultural Resources - Though I've used the commentaries more than anything else, the historical and cultural resources are my favorite. You'll gain insights into the historical context of biblical events and the cultural nuances that shape the interpretation of scripture.
4. Ancient Texts and Manuscripts - You can explore original manuscripts, historical texts, and related materials, and get a firsthand look at the sources that form the foundation of biblical scholarship.
5. Thematic Studies - You can explore specific themes, doctrines, or biblical concepts in depth. Really comes in handy when planning a sermon series.

Powerful Search and Reference Tools

You can look up anything in your resource library with a quick search!

This is what makes the iOS Logos bible study app so powerful. Not only does it have a huge resource library, but you can search everything you've downloaded quickly and easily.

If you're reading a passage and want to learn more about a topic in that passage, you can use the mobile app to quickly find more information in their library. It's amazing!

Customize Your Bible Study

Logos allows users to arrange and organize their study materials according to personal preferences.

Other apps lock you into how they've structured their content. I didn't realize how much this hindered my use of other Bible apps until I made the Logos app tailored to the way I like to organize study material.

Interconnected Bible Reading

Logos has helped me tremendously with something I'm not good at: Connecting passages of Scripture together.

Every study Bible I use has cross-references that help me quickly find other passages that relate to what I'm reading. Logos does that for me within Bible verses. I just tap on a verse when I'm using the iPhone or iPad and away I go! This helps me see the bigger picture God paints with Scripture as I study the Bible.

Reading Plans and Other Study Tools

Logos offers a variety of reading plans and devotionals. The Youversion Bible app has several as well, but I've found the ones in Logos to take me deeper in my faith. You can pick a devotional and enjoy it on your iPhone anywhere!

Whether you're interested in thematic studies or chronological readings, Logos has what you're looking for as you study God's word.

Community Notes and Collaboration

Logos encourages collaboration through its Community Notes feature, allowing users to share insights, comments, and observations with a community of fellow learners.

This is great for small group Bible study or for your leadership team to collaborate and learn together as you lead your church.

The Best Free Bible App for iPhone

With its extensive library, powerful search tools, customizable workspaces, dynamic cross-references, and community collaboration features, the Logos Bible App is the best Bible app in the app store.

If you're serious about digging into the richness of biblical study, Logos is everything you're looking for.
