Christian iPhone Apps

iPhone with Christian AppsAs of now, there are over 140,000 apps available for the iPhone.

Within all of these apps, it is often hard to find ones that are actually good. This is also true for Christian apps.

Within this post will be a list of quality Christian iPhone apps, that will be updated over time.  So if you want to find some Christian iPhone apps and don’t know where to look, then come here to start.

Bible (free)

This simple Bible Application from lifechurch.tv is a great way to read the Bible on your iPhone. It has many translations available for download and many more that require a data connection to access (NIV, ESV and CEV require data connection). Also has options to favourite verses and tweet verses. The best free Bible app available.

Mars Hill Church (free)

Mars Hill is at the front of technology once again with an App that allows you to keep up to date with sermons and blog posts. A lot of the functionality can be achieved through inbuilt iPhone apps (such as podcasting within the iTunes store), but it is helpful to have all the content together in one easy, beautiful app. (Read more about this app here)

Bible Memory Verses (free)

This is a great application for memorising scripture. It uses the NIV translation. It has many strategies that will allow you easily memorise scripture, including blanking out words in verses, as well as having a page of verses that you have already memorised, so that you can remind yourself of them.

ESV Bible (free)

This is one of the few applications where the Bible is actually stored on your device, which means you can read it without an internet connection! The interface is very clean (reminds me of a Zune) and disappears completely when reading. Has easy options to share via Twitter or email. Easy to search by keywords or just by flicking through the books.

Please comment below if you think another app should be on this list.

Mars Hill iPhone App

A while back, Mars Hill released an iPhone App designed to give easy access to all their online stuff (link to iTunes Store). It’s very well made, and very professional.

The App itself allows you to easily stream sermons to your iPhone, as well as allowing you to read the blog and listen to music. All in one easy place.

However, it doesn’t fulfill any functionality that couldn’t be already found on the iPhone. And personally, I find it easier to listen/watch sermons in the iTunes App on my iPhone, as I can then download the sermons to the device.

Still a great App for the iPhone, and once again, Mars Hill is leading the Christian world in technology. Props to them.

After thinking about this App, I think I’ll have to make a list of iPhone Apps from churches and for general Christian purposes. Do you have any favourite iPhone Apps?
