iPhone, iPad and Other Mobile Devices

by colin on November 29, 2011

Introducing the world’s first Bible app optimized for iOS 5. Using Apple’s iBooks technology, you can now flip pages just like a real book. In addition, you can highlight, underline and take notes the same way you can on eBible.com.

We’re extremely excited with this launch and we believe you’ll be delighted with the same level of detail, simplicity and elegance that we put into the eBible.com website.

iPhone and iPad

Get it here at the Apple App Store.

Android, Blackberry and Others

We’ve also released a HTML5 optimized version of eBible. Simply go to your mobile device’s browser and point it to http://ebible.com. Our server will automatically detect that you’re coming from a mobile device and redirect you to the mobile version of eBible.

A native version of eBible on Android will be coming in the near future.

Thanks.

eBible Team.

ooBible Moves To eBible.com

by colin on September 28, 2011

It’s a great pleasure for me to announce that we are now officially eBible.com!

A month ago we acquired the eBible.com domain and decided to rebrand ourselves with this new name. We then launched the latest version of our technology to eBible.com. If you go there today, you’ll notice its a nice improvement over the previous version.

We will be migrating your account over to eBible.com in the next 7 to 10 days. This will take place next week and I will send out a confirmation email to you prior to the actual migration.

What does this mean?

  1. ooBible will no longer exist. eBible is now the official company name.
  2. Your ooBible account including your notes and highlights will be migrated to the new website.
  3. If you have an existing account there, we will merge the two accounts together. We will use your email address as the account key for this process. Your notes and highlights will all merge as one.
  4. This migration will take place in the next 7 to 10 days.

What new features will I get?

  1. You can now highlight *and* underline any individual word or words in a verse. You are no longer restricted to having to do the entire line. Annotation is now on a per translation basis.
  2. You can now highlight, underline and take notes on multiple verses in one single click. Just as you can select individual words, you can also select multiple lines at a time.
  3. We have a new WordPress/Drupal plugin that you can install on your blog or website. Any scripture reference you have on your web page i.e “John 3:16″ automatically gets converted into a link. When a user hovers over this link, it will show the contents of John 3:16. We call this new feature “VerseLink“. Click here for more details.

Can I start using eBible.com now?

  1. Yes you may. Simply open a new account and make sure you use the same email that you used in ooBible.com. When we migrate your old notes and highlights, we will tie it to the account that has the same email address.

Other Changes on eBible.com

  1. The news feed feature is being revamped. This feature is temporarily disabled.
  2. Bible teachers content is also being revamped. This feature is temporarily disabled.
  3. Note sharing is being revamped. This feature is temporarily disabled.

We’re extremely excited with this launch and we hope you’ll come check us out!
