Powerful Searching

PocketBible acts like a concordance so you can locate anything in the Bible by word or phrase.

• Instant Find - Highlight a word and tap the Find icon to immediately see every occurrence.
• Boolean Searches - Find a passage even if you only remember a few words. Use AND, OR, NOT and XOR to perform searches like:
  • "Jesus AND Peter" to find everywhere Jesus and Peter are mentioned in the same verse.
  • "Paul OR Saul" when limited to the New Testament finds references to the Apostle Paul under either name.
• Phrase Searches - Find any phrase ("John the Baptist") or combine phrases with words using Boolean operators.
• Wildcard Searches - Find words with any ending ("bapt*"), any prefix ("*ful") or any characters in the middle ("un*ness"). Use ? to match a single character ("?aul" for "Paul" or "Saul").

"Still the ultimate Bible software...With version 3, Laridian has knocked one out of the park."
Ed Hansberry, Smartphone & Pocket PC Magazine Board of Experts 2006
