Introduction

BPBible Portable is a portable app that functions as a Bible study tool. This app allows users to study the Bible on the go. They can use it on their iPod, USB flash drive, hard drive and other formats. BPBible Portable offers the same features as its desktop counterpart -- that is, it includes features such as support Bibles, commentaries, dictionaries and Gospel harmonies.

User Experience

Some users report that BPBible Portable has compatibility issues with the iPod Touch and the iPhone. In addition, the developers for BPBible Portable have stated on their official forums that they did not design its use around iPod and iPhone models. It is strictly a Windows app, a technicality that contradicts the publisher's description of the product. One final complaint by users is that loading the personal commentary editor forces the user to open a new window, which is a minor inconvenience.

However, when the application does work, it gets the job done. Most users praise the app's ability to search for multiple translations in a timely fashion. Moreover, the ability to load it off of a USB stick is perhaps the most convenient feature about BPBible Portable. This application utilizes the SWORD format and, thus, is compatible with most electronic Bibles.
