Our Review
This is the New American Bible, Revised Edition on your iPhone or iPad, the translation approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. It is the Bible you hear at Mass in this country.
The whole Bible downloads to your device, so it reads offline. You can switch between books, swipe through chapters, pinch to change the font size, search verses, bookmark, highlight, and copy. It includes the book introductions and the footnotes, endnotes, and cross-references as tappable links, plus the daily readings and a read-the-Bible-in-a-year plan.
Having the NABRE with its notes in your pocket is the selling point. The footnotes in this translation are substantial, and being able to tap a reference and jump straight to it is the kind of thing that keeps you reading instead of giving up. Because it is the Mass translation, the readings line up with what you just heard on Sunday.
It is good for following the daily readings, for preparing for Mass, and for anyone who wants the official U.S. Catholic Bible with its full set of notes.
It costs a few dollars, which is fair for the complete annotated text, though the design is plain and has not changed much in years. The ratings are mixed, mostly about the dated interface rather than the Scripture itself.
It is $2.99, from developer Greg Fairbrother. On the App Store here: Catholic New American Bible RE. A no-frills but faithful way to carry the Mass Bible with you.

Released on March 9, 2011, the New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE) is the culmination of nearly 20 years of work by a group of nearly 100 scholars and theologians, including bishops, revisers and editors. The NABRE includes a newly revised translation of the entire Old Testament (including the Book of Psalms) along with the 1986 edition of the New Testament.
The NABRE is a formal equivalent translation of Sacred Scripture, sponsored by the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, using the best manuscripts available. Work on most books of the Old Testament by forty revisers and a board of eight editors began in 1994 and was completed in 2001. The 1991 revision of the Psalter, the work of thirty revisers and six editors, was further revised by seven revisers and two editors between 2009 and 2010.
