BlackBerry App worse then the mobile version
The BlackBerry bible app looks just like the mobile version, except that the font is terrible and the scrolling behavior is worse then the BlackBerry browser.
The only plus side to the app is being able to save my place and search the web at the same time.
Why release a BlackBerry Version that is of lower quality then the mobile version already is?

Inappropriate?Hey Rob. Sorry you are disappointed with the app. To frame a few things for you, if you noticed the app is version 0.1. Hopefully that tells you where we are in the process...at the very beginning. We needed to start somewhere, and we are excited about where this app can go for sure.
To dive into specifics. Not sure why you are seeing different font, and scrolling behavior, the app actually uses the BlackBerry Browser as the browser to display the m.youversion.com site. You might want to check your emulation settings and choose the browser that looks the best to you. I personally use the "Blackberry" browser emulation.
I’m excited

Inappropriate?The mobile version is very good, which sets the bar pretty high for the blackberry app.
I tried changing the browser emulation to IE and back to BlackBerry but didn't notice any difference.
I definitely see value in having a BlackBerry app, but it needs to be at least as good (hopefully better) then the mobile version.
Besides the font and the scroll behavior, one thing I like about the mobile version is the ability to hide the bar at the top of the browser. I couldn't find a way to do that in the app. I'm using a Pearl 8130 on Verizon if that makes a difference.
As you said, the version of the app is 0.1. I actually didn't notice until you mentioned it and I confirmed by looking in the settings.
You might consider mentioning the version, or that the app is in beta on BlackBerry page http://www.youversion.com/bb/.
I’m hopeful
