YouVersion has announced that their Bible App for Android has surpassed 5 million downloads on the Android platform. According to their blog, more people are now using their Bible App on Android devices than were on every other platform combined this same time last year. And according to internal statistics, users have collectively spent more than 100 million hours reading Scripture through the YouVersion app. Wow. That’s quite a bit of religious activity.

The YouVersion Bible App for Android was launched in 2009 and has steadily added more functions including offline bible reading, over 50 different reading plans, and audio reading support (currently in Beta). The App also offers scripture in different translations in over 20 languages. Other features include bookmarking, note taking, and even sports a social networking/fellowship option. Users can connect with others via Facebook, Twitter, email, and even Google Voice.

The YouVersion app is available on multiple platforms including Android, iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry, and even Windows Phone 7 and Palm webOS. In fact, there’s also a Symbian version. So clearly, they’re spreading the Word across all platforms. The Bible App is free and is available at yourversion.com/download or at the Android Market. It’s compatible with Android 1.5 and later.
