New American Standard Bible
The New American Standard Bible (NASB or NAS), completed in 1971, is widely regarded as one of the most literally translated of 20th-century English Bible translations. According to the NASB's preface, the translators had a "Fourfold Aim" in this work:
These publications shall be true to the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.
They shall be grammatically correct.
They shall be understandable.
They shall give the Lord Jesus Christ His proper place, the place which the Word gives Him; therefore, no work will ever be personalized.
Seeing the need for a literal, modern translation of the English Bible, the translators sought to produce a contemporary English Bible while maintaining a word-for-word translation style. In cases where word-for-word literalness was determined to be unacceptable for modern readers, changes were made in the direction of more current idioms. In such instances, the more literal renderings were indicated in footnotes.
In 1995, the Lockman Foundation reissued the NASB text as the NASB Updated Edition. The removing or replacing literal renderings of antiquated phrases and words, and many conjunctions, the current edition is slightly less literal than the original. It has introduced inclusive language in about 85 places. The NASB remains, however, the most literal version of the English Bible commonly used in churches today. It is commonly used in many Christian colleges and seminaries for in-depth study, because of its strict adherence to the original languages.

Whatever chapter you select is the chapter you get you cannot keep reading you have to go through a long process just to get to the next chapter. When you copy and paste it doesn't give the book but you can highlight and copy the chapter and verse. You cannot highlight or make notes on selected verses.

Praise the Lord! This bible is very good. No need to explain. Ads are fine for supporting it in my opinion. I would like it if Jesus's text were in red though, like my grandma's bible.

It's great
This is a great NASB app! Too bad it includes annoying ads. Also, the title for each passage appears as part of the last verse in the previous passage within the same chapter. For example, "The Prodigal Son" appears as part of Luke 15:10 even though it is not in the Greek text. I also wish I had the choice to remove the audio panel from the screen.
