MySword 14.8's features include Compare/Parallel option to Use full name or title instead of abbreviation.

Please note that only the Free version is available in Amazon (also previously in Google Play and Samsung Galaxy Store) while the one available from this website can be upgraded to Premium or Deluxe version. The website version can always be installed over the Store version by enabling "Allow from this source" for the particular app that will open the APK (Chrome or any File Explorer/Manager) for new devices.

If your device is not Google Play Store enabled or you can't download the app from Google Play, in your Android device's browser, click either of the download links below.

Note: When you download using Google Chrome in your Android device, a message will appear saying:

This type of file can harm your device. Do you want to keep mysword4android-{version number}.apk anyway?

This is just a generic warning from Google Chrome (other browsers may say a similar warning) because you are downloading an APK outside Google Play. Just tap OK.

Please also note that the latest version of MySword (MySword 11.1 and higher) requires Lollipop (Android 5.0) or higher. If your device is ICS (Android 4.0) up to Kitkat (Android 4.4), please download the older version MySword 11.0 below.

Installation

After the download and you are prompted to Open, tap Open then select Package Installer if asked. If Chrome asked:

For security, your phone is not allowed to install unknown apps from this source.

Tap Settings, then make sure you enable installation by tapping Allow from this source. Then tap Back (or the top left arrow). Then tap Install.

If you missed tapping the Open and the dialog was closed after the download, you can still install via your File Manager/Explorer. Locate the downloaded APk file then tap it to install.

After successful installation, run MySword. For newer devices, the following message will appear:

Storage permission (access to files on your device) is required for downloaded modules like Bibles for MySword app to work. Please grant the permission on the next confirmation box.

Tap OK. Then tap Allow when this confirmation box appears:

Allow MySword Bible to access photos, media and files on your device?

You will then be asked to specify a folder in your SD card (or internal storage) as a place for the Bible, Dictionary and Commentary modules. You may choose to use the Default. After specifying that folder, you will be asked to download modules so that you can use MySword. You can choose the suggested modules (includes some popular English Bibles, Strong's dictionary and TSK commentary) or add more modules by tapping Bible, Commentary or Dictionary buttons and selecting modules).

You can also manually install any modules by downloading the GZip files from this site, unzipping them and copying them into the storage folder you had specified.

Enjoy God's word!

What's new in Version 14.8

  1. Compare/Parallel option to Use full name or title instead of abbreviation.

    Bible Compare

  2. Notes and Journal popup: option for Edit.
  3. Visual Color Theme Editor (Premium) improvement: Commentary (embedded) and Tag text/link font style can now be changed.
  4. Tag (Deluxe) improvement: added Edit date useful for Own Pace Reading Plan notes stats.

Bugs Fixed in Version 14.8

  1. EasyEnglish has a new abbreviation in Compare, EEB, but can't be tapped to open the EasyEnglish in whole chapter mode. (This may also be experienced with WEBME and WEBBME if the latest updates on the Bibles were not downloaded.) Reverted to old EasyEnglish abbreviation.

What's new in Version 14.7

  1. Notes Editor improvement: added verse/range before the date in Notes Add/Edit multiple notes selector similar to Single notes icon list selection.
  2. Updated the Journal Preferences to include Show notes/journal date similar to Notes Preferences.
  3. Added option to not add date to either Notes or Journal new entry and placed this option in the Notes and Journal Preferences (outside the Editor).
  4. Preferences improvement:
    1. Placed a message to download Bible Animals, Plants or Objects when None is tapped and the dictionary is not available.
    2. Placed a message to download R.M. Atlas or Rumsey when the Bible Maps option is tapped and the books are not available.
  5. Button bar color (Deluxe) for Light Theme affecting Navigation Drawer color:
    1. Lower saturation (25% or lower) will now cause the navigation drawer to have similar saturation and not be fixed at 50%.
    2. Gray (saturation 0%) is now possible and will not be pink.
  6. Old Bible links for WEBME and WEBBME will map to WMB and WMBB in case the new abbreviations of the updated modules are now registered by MySword (e.g. fresh download or Abbreviation cache is cleared).

Bugs Fixed in Version 14.7

  1. Fixed the Editor bugs:
    1. Find in Page should use Find and Replace if no split preview but both should use Find in Page if only Preview is visible.
    2. Find and Replace followed by autosave should not save the Editor search highlights.
  2. For non-Bible modules without entry and Navigation links option is unchecked the message of no entry is found no longer shows up.
  3. Search with Split view (Deluxe) first open should not be full preview without search parameters and results list pane so users will not be confused.

Enjoy God's word even more!
