Olive Tree is a study Bible rather than a reading Bible, and the difference shows in how it is built.
The split-window view is the central feature: Scripture in one pane and a commentary, dictionary or your own notes in the other, scrolling in sync so the resource follows the passage. That is how study is actually done with printed books, and few apps reproduce it properly.
KJV, NIV and ESV are included at no cost, with further translations, commentaries, dictionaries and study Bibles available to purchase from an in-app store. Everything downloaded works offline, including the study resources, which matters for anyone working somewhere without a connection.
Study tools cover word-level lookups, cross-references, a note system that attaches to specific verses, highlighting with custom colours, and reading plans. Notes and highlights sync across devices through a free account.
Free on Android and iOS with the included translations; additional resources are one-off purchases rather than a subscription.
Olive Tree Bible Software has published Bible study applications since the 1990s and is now part of HarperCollins Christian Publishing.
