About Jottings - Darby Bible
Jottings is J. N. Darby's New Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Old Testament 1890, New Testament 1884), the whole Bible with the footnotes of the 1961 edition, built for reading on a phone.
EVERYTHING WORKS OFFLINE
The text, with footnotes, is inside the app. Reading, search and study never need a connection.
SEARCH THAT UNDERSTANDS REFERENCES
Type "jn 3:16", "1 cor 13", "ps 23" or plain words. Exact phrases in quotes, hyphenated compounds, Old or New Testament filters.
DARBY'S FOOTNOTES, IN PLACE
Tap a footnote marker and the note opens under the verse. Expand every note in a chapter with one tap. References inside notes are links.
READ THE WAY YOU LIKE
Paragraph layout with Psalm headings. Text size, line height and spacing. Serif, sans or a dyslexia-friendly font. A paged mode with page turns, or no animation at all.
25 THEMES
Nine light, eight dark and eight true-black themes for OLED screens. Change the theme from anywhere, even mid-chapter; it applies at once. Follow the system and keep your own light and dark picks.
STUDY TOOLS
Strong's numbers for Hebrew and Greek words. Highlights in four colours, and eight more if you want them. Bookmarks. Darby's chronological table of the kings and prophets with every reference linked. The introductory notices of the 1961 edition.
READ ALOUD
Three synthesized voices read any chapter with the verse tinted and each word highlighted as it is spoken. Verse numbers, the book heading, pauses and speed are all toggles, and the voice keeps reading with the screen off.
JOTTINGS
Collect verses with your own notes, links and headings. Share by link or into your reading group, borrow and adapt another reader's jotting, print or save as PDF at a size that fits inside a Bible.
READ TOGETHER (optional account)
Track active reading time and keep a daily streak. Earn badges. Start a reading group, invite friends with a code, and let a group admin set up events with leaderboards.
No advertising. No tracking. No email required. The text is public domain; the app is free.

Very well made, tons of useful features and easy to find info.
