The third beta of Scripture Alone for Android, as an APK you can install without Google Play.

Most people should use Google Play instead: join the scripture-alone-android-beta group, then opt in on Google Play. Play keeps the app updated and includes the Wear OS app.

New in this beta

  • A crisis card: a search that sounds like someone thinking of suicide ("want to die", "suicide", "quiero morir"…, in all nine languages) shows a crisis line for your country first, to call or text, with a directory of lines everywhere else, passages of hope, and a reminder to call emergency services if in danger.
  • Imports are more complete: a verse a printing runs on without its number after an omitted verse (Acts 24:8 in some editions) comes back as its own verse, and list-like pages such as 1 Chronicles 25 read correctly. A Bible PDF now gives every verse a modern translation prints.
  • The import summary no longer repeats omitted verses under Gaps.

Everything from beta 2 is here too: Topics, ePub and PDF import with study notes, red letters and publisher quoting terms.

This APK is for phones and tablets without Google Play. Everything is inside it: the ASV, BSB and KJV, the Bibles for every app language, the commentary, the original-language data and the maps. Nothing needs downloading, and it works fully offline. Android 10 or later.

Before installing, know that:

  • It installs over earlier betas as an update. Your notes and highlights stay.
  • It doesn't update itself. New versions will be posted here.
  • It can't be updated by the Google Play version, or the other way round. Google Play signs its copy with a different key, so Android treats them as different publishers. To switch, export your notes and highlights first (Notes → Export, or make a Keepsake Bible), uninstall, then install the other one.
  • It doesn't include the Wear OS app, which comes only from Google Play.

To install, download the APK on the phone, open it, and allow your browser or file manager to install apps when Android asks.
