## Description

VerseWise Bible® (Douay-Rheims, Challoner Revision) is the Catholic Bible (with deuterocanon and notes) at your fingertips. It is optimized for easy, convenient reading.

Douay-Rheims is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate. It was the Bible of the majority of English-speaking Catholics well into the 20th century and is still popular among those favoring a more traditional translation. 

VerseWise Bible DR includes the 73 books of the Roman Catholic canon. It uses the original introductions to each book and footnotes. 

FEATURES:
- Share selected verses via Messages, Mail, Facebook, Twitter & more
- Highlight verses
- Easily copy verses (with reference) to clipboard
- Create bookmarks and organize using tags
- Quick navigation to any scripture
- Search for one or more words, assisted by word completion and search history
- Returns exactly to last location and page position when app is revisited
- Automatically bookmarks your last location in each book and has a view history (up to 100 of your last readings) for easy back-and-forth navigation between books
- Convenient and smooth side-scroll for previous/next chapter navigation
- Low light mode
- Reading Plans

NOTE: The names of the books and the chapter numbering in Psalms follow the Vulgate and thus sometimes differ from more modern translations.
