The sixth 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

  • Study's Context switches in place between Overview, Map, Timeline and Charts, and the overview map is a still picture you scroll past — a tap opens the Map to explore.
  • Wear OS gets every translation you import on your phone (and drops one you remove), and its Verse of the Day, tile and complication read in the translation the watch is reading.

Everything from earlier betas is here too: Highlights in Notes, 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.
