This app is one of the highest rated, and most recommended, Catholic apps on iTunes. Simply put, it’s a hub for all things Catholic.

The Olive Tree Bible Study App boasts over two million users, and allows users to learn from some of the top Bible scholars of past and present, with offline, online and cloud syncing of Bible studies all present and accounted for. The app was designed for deeper Bible study and doesn’t skimp on the extras. There’s a side-by-side study mode, Bible resource guide and a “unique 3-touch Verse Chooser” amongst other highlights. If the app doesn’t include enough extras for you, there are literally 100s of Bible study add-ons to download as well.
This is it, the number one paid for app on the Android store. It’s also the “official Imprimatur from the Catholic Church” and here’s what it contains: the complete Missal (with calendar and daily readings), Our Daily Bread (a Bible verse for every day of the year), prayers and a Catholic news feed. This is an in-depth, Pope-approved app and as such, should be any devotee’s first purchase.
