Description: 
PocketSword is a Bible Study app for the iPhone & iPod Touch (iOS 3.0 and above) that is built upon the powerful SWORD backend developed by the CrossWire Bible Society.

PocketSword is free and the app will always remain so. Modules are available for download (offline use) within the app, with permission granted by the various copyright holders to CrossWire to distribute them for use in its apps. When you download this app, it comes with the KJV & Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible pre-installed, but you can use the downloader within PocketSword (located under the More tab) to choose which additional modules you wish to download from CrossWire and have available for offline use.
