Hi ! I’m an active member of my local Presbyterian church, and during our study groups and sermons, I kept running into the same friction: most existing Bible apps make it clumsy to pull up, compare, and read multiple passages at the same time without losing your place. I decided to build my own solution: Verses: Bible Search. When I showed the early build to people at my church, the response was overwhelmingly encouraging, and they convinced me to take the plunge and publish it on Google Play. This is my very first time publishing a mobile app, so I'm stepping into the indie dev waters and would love genuine feedback from this community so whether you're a seasoned mobile dev or just starting out. What it does: Instant, powerful search: Built to query scriptures with zero lag. 100% Offline & Ad-Free: No tracking, no banner distractions during quiet time. Designed for multi-verse study: Quick side-by-side context and fast referencing. How to try the closed test build: Google Play requires a 14-day closed testing period with 20 testers before full release. If you’re open to keeping the app installed for 14 days and sharing any impressions or bug reports, here are the steps: Join the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/davidevol Opt-in as a tester on the web:https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.davidevol.versiculos Download on Google Play:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.davidevol.versiculos (Tip: Make sure the Gmail account you use to join the group is the exact same one logged into the Google Play Store on your device; otherwise, the store link will return a 404.) Drop your thoughts on UI, performance, or navigation in the comments below. If you've also navigated the 14-day Play Store closed-test requirement recently, any advice is more than welcome! Thank you all!   submitted by   /u/SatoshiLooter [link]   [comments]
