It crazy how many websites out there around bible collect information and share it with third parties. I looked at a bunch and couldn’t find anything that’s completely private.

Worst case, I would OK with them collect information but not share any information with third parties.

    For me, something based around Sword is important, as it allows you to use a bunch of different Bible versions, commentaries, dictionaries and other works that you can freely download from various repositories. My app of choice is AndBible, and I recommend it wholeheartedly. I don’t know whether or not they collect any information, but I believe they do have a warning before you search for Sword modules, since accessing those databases can identify you as a Christian.

    EDIT: No, sorry, the warning is on BibleTime, my desktop app of choice.

      Is it possible to get AndBible modules on Xiphos? I find it hard to find good Sword modules

        There aren’t AndBible modules, but the Sword modules are independent, so you can just install whatever modules you want with either front-end.

        For additional Sword modules, try looking on Bible.org and CrossWire.

            They don’t publish an ESV Sword module any more, sorry! I have one I bought a while back, and have manually installed every time I change phones.

                With some googling, I found on a forum a script you can use to download the text and bundle your own ESV Sword module. Try searching for ‘“ESV” sword module’.
