Existing SAB apps in Arabic?

Has anyone created an SAB app in Arabic using either the Today’s Arabic Version ( aka Good News Arabic or “mushtariqa”) or the Kitab al Hayat, ‘KEH’? If so, can we connect, or can you point me to where I can find the app? Thanks!

Hi Brian,

FCBH has an app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fcbh.arbbib.n1.n&hl=en_US&gl=US

Holy Bible, New Arabic Version

(Ketab al Hayat العربية: كتاب الحياة)

Read, listen and meditate on the Word of God in Arabic using our free Bible app. This Bible app supports almost all Android devices, so it is easy for you to download and use, at no cost to you. The Arabic Audio Bible by Faith Comes By Hearing has been integrated into our app so when you would like to listen to the audio, just press the “Speaker” icon from the app’s menu bar. The audio has been synchronized with the text and highlights each verse like karaoke when you push play. You can also start listening anywhere within a chapter by tapping on the verse you want to hear.

Features:

► Download Audio Bible (New Testament) in Arabic for FREE, no ads!
► Read the text and listen to the audio as each verse is highlighted when the audio plays.
► Bookmark and highlight your favorite verses, add notes and search for words in your Bible.
► Verse of the Day & Daily Reminder - You can turn this function on or off and adjust the notification time in the app settings. You can also listen to the verse of the day, or create a Bible verse wallpaper by clicking on the notification.
► Bible Verse Wallpaper Creator - You can create beautiful wallpapers with your favorite Bible verses on attractive photo backgrounds and other customization options, then share them with your friends and on social media.
► Swipe to navigate chapters.
► Night Mode for reading when dark (good for your eyes.)
► Click and share Bible verses with your friends via Whatsapp, Facebook, E-mail, SMS etc.
► Designed to run on all versions of Android devices.
► No additional font installation required (renders complex scripts well.)
► New user interface with Navigation drawer menu.
► Adjustable font size and easy to use interface.

Compatibility: This App is optimized for Android 9.0 (Pie). However, it should run well on devices with versions 4.0 (Icecream Sandwich) and higher.

Hi there,

Here is Biblica’s Arabic app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.biblica.newarabicversion

Let me know if you have any questions about it.

Kind regards,
James

I followed the link, but in Google play it says “this app isn’t available for your device because it was made for an older version of Android.”

Is anyone updating this app?

@jbarndt - FYI. The Arabic app needs updating.

Hi All,

Just for clarification on the FCBH Arabic app as well as apps in general on Google Play.
To be available on the latest devices, in this instance Android 13, the apps needs to be updated within the same year. This would need to be updated on the latest SAB that contains the required API level.

For detailed information from Google, you can read here:

Have a great day further,
James

@BrianJames @MarkW The app has been updated:
