Android 1.0.0 beta 5

The fifth 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

• Highlights in Notes: a Highlights list beside Notes and Favorites — every highlighted verse in Bible order, in its colour — and all three narrow to All Books, This Book or This Chapter.
• Commentary picks from a menu once imported study Bibles make more than three sources.
• Go To keeps a topic you opened in Recent Searches, and Enter opens the topic when no verse matches.
• Study sheet keeps the verse you tapped above it.
• Wear OS wears your accent colour and has a Highlights list.
• The Verse of the Day widget reads in an imported translation too, labelled by its abbreviation.

Everything from earlier betas is here too: faithful words of Christ for imports, the crisis card, 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.
