Welcome to the Official Biblesoft App Wiki page. The Support you need for the Software you love.

This is the home for all the resources pertaining to the Biblesoft App. Need to know how to navigate through the App, set a bookmark on your Desktop/Home Screen or access our Video Tutorials; here is where you find those answers.

For a detailed set of instructions on how to work in the App, you can watch our Video Tutorials by clicking on Biblesoft App:Tutorials:Videos.

Note: For the time being, we only officially support laptops, desktops, (Windows XP and up, and Mac OS), and iPad. Other modern android tablets such as the Galaxy Tab actually perform well but aren't fully tested. Smart phones testing has been very limited. We have had positive results on HTC One and Galaxy S4. We do not recommend using the App on Kindles.

This following will give you the step by step instructions on how to work in the App. If you don't find the instructions you are looking for, try coming back in a few days and see if they have been added.
