New Version - v.12.2

MySword 12.2's major features are Import Notes and Journal entries, Module selection autocomplete improvements and other improvements.

If your device is Google Play Store (Android Market) enabled, note that you can also download the stable older Free version (MySword 10.4) from the Google Play Store.

Please note that only the Free version is available in Samsung Galaxy Store and Amazon (also previously in Google Play) while the one available from this website can be upgraded to Premium or Deluxe version. The website version can always be installed over the Store 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.12.2 - 7 September 2021

Older version of MySword v.12.1 - 10 June 2020

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 11.1 and higher) requires Lollipop (Android 5.0) or higher. If your device is ICS (Android 4.0) up to Kitkat (Android 4.4), please download the older version MySword 11.0 below. If your device is 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.

Older version of MySword v.11.0 - 11 March 2020 (ICS, Jellybean, Kitkat)

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 12.2

1. Module selection autocomplete improvements of additional options (tap the top left Gear icon):
   1. Show title - shown besides the abbreviation. This is per module type so it's possible to show titles for Bibles, Commentaries and Dictionaries but not for Books and Journals as the abbreviation is already quite long.
   2. Search include title
   3. Search highlight

   

   Again, to enable it, go to Preferences and search for autocomplete. Tap Module selection autocomplete and enter a non-zero number.

   Below we search for description that contains bere (for Berean):

   

2. Availability of Module selection autocomplete in Search for ease of selecting a module in a long list.
3. Import notes and journal (journal import is Premium). This is useful for synchronizing content between devices in case both files were updated. Place the file to be imported in a folder other than mysword then use the Import journal/notes found in the navigation drawer (via top left button). Note that deletes are not synchronized, thus it can only import updated or newer content; also, embedded images are not imported.

   Below is an example summary log for journal import:

   

Bugs Fixed in Version 12.2

1. Download modules with Modules path Split no longer works in Android 11 (R) and higher unless Old method is used.
2. Bible count in the navigation drawer for Compact mode included the Compare and Parallel so it's excess of 2.
3. Format (Deluxe): b, i, u, em, strong, sub, sub, small and big tags within a word will cause word count issue as it was considered word separator thus breaking a format length.
4. Bookmark shortcuts in non-Compact mode always have 1 for verse number in case there is a label (Deluxe).

What's new in Version 12.1

1. New Preferences under Other Look and Feel (as well as Bible View Preferences in main screen):
   1. Full justification
   2. Hyphenate words (only in WebView 55 or higher and may not be supported in some languages)

   

2. Option to disable swipe page navigation (New Preference under Display Settings).
3. Option to hide/show Notes/Journal date (under Notes Preferences or Preferences->Other Look and Feel).
4. Better positioning of the long tap popup menu when text near the center is selected.

   

5. Added Translators' addition (CSS class .add) to Visual Theme Editor (Premium/Deluxe).

Bugs Fixed in Version 12.1

1. After searching for Format in Journal, switching to Bible search crashes MySword.
2. Split window (Deluxe) second row maximized long tap text selection near the bottom shows popup menu as too small requiring scrolling.
3. Edit Cross-Reference (Deluxe) menu Copy with text and Share are not working.
