5.0 fully rebuilt the reading experience around one goal: keep you in the text, focused.

New scripture typography

• Re-tuned line height, sizing and whitespace for long sessions
• Clearer visual hierarchy for chapters and verse numbers
• Contrast optimized for both light and dark themes

Side-by-side parallel

Open any two translations to scroll them verse-aligned side by side — excellent on desktop.

Reading settings sync across all your devices automatically.

Traditional search needs keywords or references. AI semantic search does not.

How to use it

1. Open AI Search
2. Describe what you want, e.g. “verses about forgiveness and reconciliation”
3. AI matches the most fitting verses, with compare / original / commentary one tap away

Works offline

With no network it falls back to local keyword search, still usable.

Two ways to install on Android:

1. Browser download (APK): Tap Android · Browser download, then open the downloaded APK and follow the prompts (allow install from unknown sources if asked).
2. Google Play: Tap Open Google Play for one-tap install with automatic updates.

Tips for Chinese-brand phones

Phones sold in mainland China ship with built-in “app safety scan”, “pure mode”, and “store certification” guards that often block APKs not published on a local store. Below is brand-specific guidance—exact wording differs by OS version, but the idea is the same.

Huawei / Honor (HarmonyOS / EMUI / MagicOS)

• When you see “Failed app market safety check”, tap More → Continue installation.
• If it loops or freezes, turn off Wi-Fi and mobile data, then reopen the APK to install (offline mode bypasses pure-mode online verification).
• Or temporarily turn off Settings → System & updates → Pure mode, then reinstall and turn it back on.

Xiaomi / Redmi / POCO (MIUI / HyperOS)

• The prompt says “App failed certification”—tap the Settings / More icon at the top right (or Continue installation inside the dialog).
• In “App installation service”, turn off Security check before install, or choose Allow this install only.
• Some newer builds also need Settings → Apps → Manage apps → Permissions → Install unknown apps enabled for your browser / file manager.

OPPO / OnePlus / realme (ColorOS)

• Choose Continue installation in the prompt.
• If blocked: Settings → Additional settings → Manage app install sources / Install unknown apps → enable for your browser or file manager.

vivo / iQOO (OriginOS / FunTouch OS)

• When prompted about risk, choose I understand the risk, continue installing.
• If it still fails: Settings → More settings → Permission manager → Install apps → grant permission.
• Some versions also have i Manager → Security → Install blocking that needs to be temporarily disabled.

Samsung (One UI)

• Settings → Biometrics and security → Install unknown apps → enable “Allow from this source” for your browser or file manager.
• Recommended to disable again after install for security.

Meizu (Flyme)

• Tap Continue installation in the prompt.
• If it hangs for a long time, temporarily turn off Settings → Security → App security scan, then turn it back on after install.

Other situations

• Browser blocks the download with “this file may be harmful”: choose Keep / Download anyway.
• File manager says “Can’t install”: use the system’s built-in file manager to open the APK (third-party file managers sometimes block).
• Still failing: use Google Play instead. For users outside mainland China, Google Play is the preferred path.

All BiblePro builds are signed and distributed by the developer team; the APK on this page matches the official version. Email bibleproinfo@gmail.com if you need help.

Desktop is the best platform for split-pane parallel reading, deep study, and group reading plans. Two install paths: direct installer download (fastest) or app store (auto-updates).

Windows install

Method A · Browser download (recommended)

1. Click Windows · Browser download, get BiblePro.Windows.x.x.x.exe
2. Double-click to run the installer
3. Follow the wizard → Done

Installers are code-signed, so SmartScreen warnings almost never appear. In rare cases (new signing certificate not yet trusted, enterprise-managed PCs), if “Windows protected your PC” pops up, click More info → Run anyway.

Method B · Microsoft Store

Click Open Microsoft Store for one-click install with automatic updates.

Antivirus / Corporate machines

• Some antivirus tools (Defender Enterprise, ESET, Norton, etc.) may block first launch. Trust and allow to proceed.
• Domain-managed corporate machines without install permission: contact IT or use Microsoft Store instead.

Windows requirements

Minimum: Windows 10 64-bit, version 1809 (build 17763 / October 2018 Update) or higher.

Why does it install to the C drive by default?

The app itself is only tens of megabytes. Installing to a non-system drive (D / E) triggers UAC admin-permission prompts on every launch—a poor experience. So we install the program into the C drive system directory by default.

What actually takes space is not the program but data files: Bible translations, commentaries, dictionaries, audio, video. BiblePro separates “program” from “data”—you can move the data storage path to any disk via “Settings → Storage Management” inside the app (e.g. put audio / video on D / E / external drives). That’s the real space-saving approach.

Old PC / pre-1809 Windows fallback

If your PC doesn’t meet the requirements, we strongly recommend installing an Android emulator and using our Android version. The experience is nearly identical (large-screen, split view, keyboard shortcuts, parallel lookup—all work):

Install steps: install the emulator → open its browser → visit this page → download the Android Browser APK → install.

macOS install

Method A · Browser download (recommended)

1. Click macOS · Browser download, get BiblePro.macos.x.x.x.dmg
2. Double-click the .dmg, drag the BiblePro icon to the Applications folder
3. Find BiblePro in Applications, double-click to launch

Installers are signed with Apple Developer ID + Notarized, so they launch directly in almost all cases. In rare cases, if “BiblePro can’t be opened because it’s from an unidentified developer” appears, Control-click the app icon → Open, or go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and scroll to the bottom to click “Open Anyway”.

Method B · Mac App Store

Click Open Mac App Store for auto-verified signature and auto-updates—simplest option.

macOS requirements

• Minimum: macOS 12 Monterey or higher
• Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel CPUs both supported (universal binary)

Old Mac fallback

If your macOS is below 12 Monterey, use an Android emulator + install the Android version:

Install steps: install the emulator → open its browser → visit this page → download the Android Browser APK → log in with the same account, data syncs via cloud.

First launch

1. Sign in with the same email / account (register on first run)
2. Resources (translations / commentaries / dictionaries / audio) are downloaded on demand from “Settings → Translation manager / Commentary manager”
3. Reading progress, bookmarks, notes, thoughts, and reading plan progress all sync automatically across devices

Relationship with mobile

Desktop shares the same account system with iOS / Android mobile:

• Notes, bookmarks, thoughts, reading plan progress all sync across devices
• Verses marked / notes written on your phone are immediately available on your computer
• Desktop-only features: split-pane parallel (up to 4 translations side-by-side), companion windows for commentary / dictionary / original, keyboard shortcuts, extra-large font, bulk copy / export

Still won’t install / crashes on launch?

• Uninstall the old version (Control Panel / drag from Launchpad), then reinstall the latest
• macOS “file damaged” prompt: it’s a Gatekeeper quarantine attribute. In Terminal: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/BiblePro.app
• Still stuck? Email bibleproinfo@gmail.com with your OS version and screenshot—we’ll help.
