e-Sword HD for iPad
The popular e-Sword program is now available for iPads. This first release includes a good number of the features available in the desktop edition, but only official modules can be added to the app at this time –although no Greek, Hebrew or foreign language Bibles are yet available–, and costs $4.99. The interface will look quite familiar to long-time e-Sword users.
The following video is a quick and dirty presentation of the program (make sure to watch it in HD!).
Note that the video does not show off all the features available, just a few of them.
Have been considering purchasing an Ipad phone or tablet recently because of the release of e-Sword HD. This video review has convinced me to purchase an I-something, I now have do decide which. I have used E-Sword for years and believe e-Sword HD will be a valuable asset in my Bible Study. Thank you.
My pleasure. Testimonies like yours are what make this blog worthwhile. Writing an entry or recording a video requires time and effort, and it’s nice to see that some people appreciate it and even find it helpful. Thanks!
I started using e-Sword a log time ago, on the Windows9x platform; it’s been so fundamental to my bible study I can’t remember how long it’s actually been. Now I can move everything to iOS, my iPad. Wonderful! Just as soon as payday rolls around at the end of the month, the wife says I can have it. PTL!

e-sword is grate. i only have android. is the plans for an android version? thankyou
Muy Sr. Mío gracias por la aplicación creada,Dios se lo pagara, me gustaría saber como puedo incorporar Biblias como la de jerusalem en español,y diccionarios y comentarios católicos .
Muchas gracias.
De momento no es posible. Solamente se pueden instalar los módulos oficiales y alguno más que el autor desee añadir. Supongo que en el futuro habrá otras posibilidades. Habrá que estar atentos a futuras versiones del programa.
e-Sword for iPad is the most significant development in e-Sword’s development. This most useful and informative study aid can now be used anywhere and everywhere my iPad goes. It has become one of the most used applications on my iPad and overcomes the limitations of running eSword on Mac OS X. Thanks to whoever made this possible. I look forward to more Study Bibles being available on e-Sword.
Saben si tiene Biblias y comentarios en español. Gracias.
I purchased the iPad app and love it. I can’t wait to,see with what they do for future updates. I hope to see more highlight options for deeper inductive study while being mobile!
Now that you have made one for ipad, how about one for Androids. I am not a Mac fan so I will never purchase an ipad. I have purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and I am quite pleased with it, so I hope that you will come out with an Android version really soon, as I love to study the Word of God on the E-sword app. Thanks, you guys are the best.
I have been a fan of eSword for years and use it as my primary desktop study resource. I also have Android phone and 7″ tablet (the competitively priced Cyclone Astro+) and on these I us what I believe to be an eSword derivative would seem to have all the functionality of the iPad eSword and when away from the desk top I will use in preference to a paper Study Bible. it is called ‘MySword’ and is a free App from Google Play. It supports multiple Bibles quickly switching between them, a faster reference look up than any other hand-held device, Strongs references with KJV just as Desktop and iPad eSword, left and right one finger swipe to move to next verse etc. One difference in layout is a scrolling toolbar at top and bottom of the screen giving access to drop down list of versions and quick access tabs to recently used versions on the top scrolling toolbar. while at the bottom of the screen there are tools for bookmarks, highlighting, search, switching between Bible, Commentary, Dictionary and MyBible Journal, preferences and sharing etc. Also at the left hand end of this tool bar there is a useful pair of arrow buttons which allow you to back trak through the references you have looked up during your session. Worth a look at MySword if you have Android.

I am having trouble downloading e-sword on my i pad. Can you make a suggestion?
I just got a new IPad as a gift and want to use it for ministry. I just down loaded e-sword HD to my IPad and want to add more books . How do I add more free books? I have brought resources for the PC version before and I would like to set it up as it is on the PC. FAQ answer how to load brought books but how to downloads is not answered. I went to resources but can’t down loaded anything else because nothing shows up. I would like to know how to find the other resources.
Cordial saludo desde Colombia, el Todo Poderoso les continúe bendiciendo, tengo un sistema operativo android 4.0 y revisando la página web de e-Sword sólo encuentro una versión para iPad. Quisiera saber si la versión es compatible con mi sistema operativo o si tienen versiones para otro tipo de móviles. Bendiciones.
Saludos. e-Sword HD solamente es compatible con el iPad. Para Android existen otros programas bíblicos. He oído hablar bien de MySword (http://mysword.info/), aunque personalmente no lo he probado.
Estimado Ruben.
Gracias por todo lo que hace, y por tomar el tiempo de contestar a nuestras preguntas.
Bueno mi problema es que istale el programa, todo funciona bien pero cuando trato de deslizar las paginas lo hace una o dos veces, y despues se queda estancado. ¿Que podra ser?
Gracias .francisco v.
Es un placer poder ayudar en la medida de lo posible. No sé a qué puede deberse ese comportamiento tan extraño, pero desde luego no es algo relacionado con el programa. Al menos no lo parece, ya que si así fuera, otros usuarios lo habrían comentado.
estimado amigo compre la aplicacion y ademas tengo muchos modulos de e-sword y quiero agregarle mi biblia catolica y mis comentarios el catecismo y otros diccionarios como lo hago o a quien se lo solicito?
De momento solamente se pueden instalar módulos oficiales. Se supone que en futuras versiones se podrán agregar otros módulos.
Have used PC version for years! Love it – thank you. Ipod version???
Would love to be mobile and collect my info on ipod and carry it from my PC or upload it later if mobile.
Greatest free software ever – of course I want more of it!! I can dream!
Blessings!
“Freely you received, freely give.” (Matthew 10:8)
I would like to know from your high office , how I could get access to download some of your free books.
E_Sword Bible Study and Ebooks. I am using Apple ipad3 and would like to use it as my personal Bible
To proclaim the words of the Lord anywhere I go.
Thank you for your assistant.God continues to Bless you all…
Does anyone have a list of the books available for download? Perhaps screenshots?
The e-sword for iPad recognizes .BBL (pocket e-sword) or. BBLX (desktop version) files?
tks.
As far as I know, e-Sword HD works with official modules provided by its developer only, via in-app downloads.
EStimado Rubén, ¿se puede usar el e-Sword con un iPhone4 o posterior? Muchas gracias por la respuesta.
No, solamente con un iPad.
Don Rubén tengo una pregunta para usted o para las personas que están en el foro: Cuáles son las versiones Con las que puedo Contar en español, o si existe algún comentario en español que pueda utilizar en mi iPad.
Puede instalar todos los módulos oficiales. Desde el propio programa tendrá la opción de ver qué módulos están disponibles y podrá descargar los que más le interesen.
Quisiera saber sí ya hay un comentario en espańol para swordhd y si hay ¿cómo se llama
Desconozco si lo hay.
When is e-sword for I-pads going to have the ability to have a nasb,commentary and dictionary with a split screen?
Thank you,
Steve
Yes Steve, I would like to know as well. Some nice futures missing on the HD version.
Good day. I have bought the Afrikaans bible, but the bible books are still showing in English, any way to fix that?
Thank you
Niekie
