Please note that only the Free version is available in Google Play, Samsung Galaxy Store and Amazon while the one available from this website can be upgraded to Premium or Deluxe version. The website version can always be installed over the Google Play version by enabling "Allow from this source" for the particular app that will open the APK (Chrome or any File Explorer/Manager) for new devices.
If your device is not Google Play Store enabled or you can't download the app from Google Play, in your Android device's browser, click either of the download links below.
Latest MySword for Android v.11.0 - 11 March 2020
Older version of MySword v.10.5 - 3 December 2019
Note: When you download using Google Chrome in your Android device, a message will appear saying:
This type of file can harm your device. Do you want to keep mysword4android-{version number}.apk anyway?
This is just a generic warning from Google Chrome (other browsers may say a similar warning) because you are downloading an APK outside Google Play. Just tap OK.
Please also note that the latest version of MySword (MySword 9.2 and higher) requires ICS (Android 4.0) or higher. If your device is still Gingerbread 2.3.1 or Honeycomb, please download the older version MySword 9.1.2 below. If you still have Eclair or Froyo, please download an even older version of MySword 7.4 below.

Installation
After the download and you are prompted to Open, tap Open then select Package Installer if asked. If Chrome asked:
For security, your phone is not allowed to install unknown apps from this source.
Tap Settings, then make sure you enable installation by tapping Allow from this source. Then tap Back (or the top left arrow). Then tap Install.
If you missed tapping the Open and the dialog was closed after the download, you can still install via your File Manager/Explorer. Locate the downloaded APk file then tap it to install.
After successful installation, run MySword. For newer devices, the following message will appear:
Storage permission (access to files on your device) is required for downloaded modules like Bibles for MySword app to work. Please grant the permission on the next confirmation box.
Tap OK. Then tap Allow when this confirmation box appears:
Allow MySword Bible to access photos, media and files on your device?
You will then be asked to specify a folder in your SD card (or internal storage) as a place for the Bible, Dictionary and Commentary modules. You may choose to use the Default. After specifying that folder, you will be asked to download modules so that you can use MySword. You can choose the suggested modules (includes some popular English Bibles, Strong's dictionary and TSK commentary) or add more modules by tapping Bible, Commentary or Dictionary buttons and selecting modules).
You can also manually install any modules by downloading the GZip files from this site, unzipping them and copying them into the storage folder you had specified.
Enjoy God's word!
What's new in Version 11.0

- Standard search result will now properly highlight the searched Strong's number.
- Standard, Exact and FTS-Exact (Deluxe) will now show and highlight the searched Strong's number even if the Show Strong's tags preference (Premium) is unchecked. This is very useful if you want to hide all Strong's numbers except the searched ones.
- Standard, Exact and FTS-Exact (Deluxe) with Strong's links on text preference checked will now highlight the associated phrase with the Strong's number searched.
- Morphological code search for Bibles with Strong's numbers and morphology improvements:
- Standard search result will now properly highlight the whole Morphological code even though only the prefix matched.
- Standard will now show and highlight the searched Morphology even if the Show Morphological tags preference (Premium) is unchecked. This is very useful if you want to hide all Morphological codes except the searched ones.
- Standard with Strong's links on text preference checked will now highlight the associated phrase with the Morphological code searched.
- You can combine Morphological code and Strong search only in Standard because the FTS Exact and Exact does not include Morphological codes.
- Lemma search for Bibles with Strong's numbers and morphology improvements:
- Standard search result will now properly highlight the Morphological code that included the lemma searched.
- Standard will now show and highlight the Morphology containing the searched lemma even if the Show Morphological tags preference (Premium) is unchecked. This is very useful if you want to hide all Morphological codes except the searched ones.
- Standard with Strong's links on text preference checked will now highlight the associated phrase with the Morphology containing the searched lemma.
- You can combine Morphological code, lemma and Strong search only in Standard because the FTS Exact and Exact does not include Morphological codes and thus lemma as well.

- Floating List Navigator for search results, bookmark or verse list, and popup verse list.
- In the Search's menu for Preference there is a new Preference item to enable this. In Bookmark and Verse List, there is a new menu Preference similar to Search.
