LXX and GNT app for Android

I've created a basic app for Android that includes Henry Barclay Swete's Septuagint as well as the unfinished Tregelles comparative GNT with the apparatus as it is presently.

It can be downloaded here

It's very basic and only uses the default app icons in the software I used to create it. It has the full text of both the LXX and GNT including OT apocrypha (e.g. such as additions to Daniel, 1-4 Maccabees, Enoch etc). It features a verse of the day (turned on in settings), highlighting, notes, and bookmarks. The books of the LXX are in the order laid out by Swete in his edition while Tregelles' are in the older order (Gospels, Acts, General Epistles, Pauline Epistles, Revelation) and the Text Critical Edition are in the traditional Western Protestant order.

Update (12 Jan 2024): I've reworked this app and made the following changes:

  • Changed all book names to their Greek form (except for the Fathers)
  • Separated the Tregelles GNT into its own group
  • added the Text Critical GNT, a GNT based on the Robinson Pierpont text with critical notes
  • Added the Apostolic Fathers in Greek.
  • Reset the version number to 0.0.2
