This study was conducted to develop a digital Bible application called Strokes: The New International

Version Bible Application. This application is deemed necessary as it will give convenience and efficient way

of reading and learning the Bible. Primarily, it sought to: (1) develop a New International Version Bible

of the user in reading the Bible, note takings on the application while reading, a classification through color

coding for the readers to know where the books belong to; (2) test application in different android phones with

different versions and (3) determine the perception of the respondents on the usability, portability, functionality,

visual design and interaction and compatibility, performance and stability of the application.

The study utilized Agile Process Model, Use Case Diagram, Input Process Output, Hierarchical Input

Process Output. Interview, questionnaire, internet and library research in gathering the needed data. A total of

40 respondents who were selected and evaluated the application relevant to the functionality, usability,

portability, visual design and interaction and compatibility performance and stability. Likert Scale, frequently

count and weighted mean were used in analyzing the data gathered from the evaluation.

The mobile application was shared through Share-It application enabling the users to install and use the

application. Result of the study showed that the respondents gave a positive perception towards the

functionality, usability, portability, visual design and interaction and compatibility performance and stability of

the application as substantiated by an overall mean rating of Strong Agree.

It is noteworthy that the developed mobile application be implemented for the students, teachers and enable
