Douay Rheims Catholic Bible (RHE) with Apocrypha
Reading Plan, Daily Verses, Audio, Notifications and many more!
The Douay-Rheims Bible is a translation of the Bible from the Latin Vulgate into English. It was the first officially authorized Catholic Bible translation in English, and has formed the basis of some later Roman Catholic Bibles in English. It includes the seven Deutero-Canonical books (also known as the Apocrypha).
History
In 1568, English exiles who were members of the college at Douai, in Flanders, founded by William (later Cardinal) Allen, began the work of preparing a Bible translation, which has become the foundation of nearly all English Catholic versions. In October, 1578, Gregory Martin began the work of preparing an English translation of the Bible for Catholic readers, the first such translation into Modern English. Assisting were William Allen, Richard Bristow, Thomas Worthington, and William Reynolds who revised, criticized, and corrected Dr. Martin's work. The college published the New Testament at (Reims/Rhemes) , in 1582 through John Fogny with a preface and explanatory notes.
Although the Jerusalem Bible, New American Bible/New American Bible Revised Edition (in the United States), the Revised Standard Version, the New Revised Standard Version and the New Jerusalem Bible are the most commonly used in English-speaking Catholic churches, the Challoner revision of the Douay Rheims is still often the Bible of choice of more traditional English-speaking Catholics.

Don't say that the books of Tobit, Sirach/Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees etc. or the so-called "Deuterocanonicals" are Apocrypha because they're not. They are widely accepted by the Early Church. But later, Martin Luther erroneously removed them all because they are against to his own invented doctrines. The Jewish Council of Jamnia/Javneh is not binding on us because we are Christians, not Jews.

I've been looking to see the Douay-Rheims translation, but quite surprise seeing this apps. Why used the Apocrypha word instead of Deuterocanonical books? And why put those books in New Testament?

If you want to read the DRB from cover to cover, this is the app for you. Otherwise, not very useful as it doesn't seem to permit searches or copying of verses. Not what i was looking for, but good nonetheless.

I don't like that there are banner ads when reading the Bible using this app. What if an inappropriate ad pops up? It would be great without ads.
