Captain's Bible
New Study Bible app for Sailfish OS. The philosophy of this app is Sola Scriptura. The Bible text is front and center. It is what you see when you open the app and it is where you get back to when in the app. There are going to be many additional features and I want it to work as a native Bible study tool for Sailfish OS.
Features at the moment:
-Download and read Bible modules
-Change chapter by swiping left or right
-Download and read commentaries (long press on verse to read verse comment)
-See footnotes by tapping verse
-Verse of the day in app cover
-Bookmarks (long tap on verse)
-Bible maps (some language modules lack the maps/images - Swedish and English maps work)
-Word search in Bible
-Dictionary
Coming features:
-Study notes
-Split screen in landscape mode (Bible-Bible)
-etc.
What would you like to see? Please, comment and let me know!

Excellent App Martin - thank you! The verse numbers are now alligned and the pagination is good. There's a bewildering selection of downloadable texts to choose from but with all the key ones in there. (NIV2011 and ESV) so some more ways to Favourite / Filter versions and to filter by language would be good. The ability to increase font size would also help. (Sorry if I've missed that).
In particular if you could filter on "Anglicised" texts ("American English" - Ugh is not the heading where you expect to find English-English versions).
Within the Bible text, the access to footnotes /notes is excellent (The NIV Anglicised version) with these really helpful in understanding context and interpretation.
If the cover could either show a "Text of the Day" or the current verse you are reading with forward and back buttons that would be nice.
Really looking forward to see how this develops but this is already my go to Bible App.

I am just here to congratulate on the nice icon!
No matter if you designed it by hand or prompted for it. Looks great, shows taste and imo nicely fits the sfos design language.
