Bible Explorer by OCC

The whole Bible, with the tools to study it, on your phone. No signal needed. Bible Explorer is built by Ontario Community Church, a congregation of about sixty-five in Ontario, Oregon. Everything in it is public domain, and the Bible and its study tools ship inside the app, so it works on a plane, in a canyon, or in the back row — what a small church can do with a little, given back.
