New Version - v.15.5

MySword 15.5's features include the update to the Editor's JavaScript library from the old 2013 version to 2024.

Please note that only the Free version is available in Amazon (also previously in Google Play and Samsung Galaxy Store) 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.15.5 - 27 August 2024

Older version of MySword v.15.4 - 26 July 2024

If you want, you can also Download Old Versions of MySword here.

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.

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.

If a message from Google Play Protect shows:

Unsafe app blocked

MySword Bible

This app was built for an older version of Android and doesn't include the latest privacy protections...

Tap Install anyway. If the Install anyway option is not available, tap More details ⮟ to expand other options and tap Install anyway.

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 15.5

1. The Editor's JavaScript library is updated from the old 2013 version to 2024. Note that Lollipop and Marshmallow's Android System WebView must be updated to at least version 60 for the editor to work.
2. New Preference (under Non-MySword modules): RTF font-size line height correction. Checked by default so Editor font-size less than 100% displays widely spaced while regular view is reduced but when unchecked both the Editor and regular view will render the line height almost similarly. When unchecked though, RTF modules with font-size may cause overlapping text like in Pilgrim's Progress from The Word.

Bugs Fixed in Version 15.5

1. Editor newly added lists (bullets or numbers), when poetry formatted verses are inserted/pasted some parts will move out of the list but Detect verses before insert will fix the problem.

What's new in Version 15.4

1. Option to Show Compare link in main search results pane of Bible search. Please see the Preferences via Menu overflow or 3 dots icon on the top right. Note that the Compare will be an icon if the Compare/Parallel link as icon is checked in the Main Preferences.

   

2. Upgraded Sync Backup's Cloud provider API to the latest for Dropbox. The old API of Dropbox used by MySword 15.3 or lower will no longer work by 2026 due to old SSL certificates.

Bugs Fixed in Version 15.4

1. Download modules error: Trust anchor for certification path not found. And Check for updates error: Not able to check for updates, even though the internet is available.

   Note: Nougat (Android 7.0) and higher is fixed and still uses https.

   Marshmallow and lower reverts to non-https. Users may opt to manually update the APK and download the modules using a browser though.

2. Sync Backup main progress bar goes beyond 100% when syncing notes.
3. Notes Add/Edit dialog that lists multiple entries: the checkbox for Enter/Edit notes details not saving and working.
4. Manual Check for updates that showed an update that's ignored 3 times will no longer cause that dialog to display on the next manual Check for updates for the same new version of MySword. This behavior should only be for the automatic one.

Enjoy God's word even more!
