Android: Bookmarks
When you discover a Bible passage you know you’ll want to return to again and again, mark it with a Bookmark. Bookmarks lets you add labels, so they’re a great way to group passages into categories for specific purposes. For example, you can put verses you want to remember, verses you want to have handy for a Bible study meeting, or passages you use in a sermon, etc. Bookmarks can also be used as markers to help you keep track of where you left off in a certain chapter.

Using Labels With Bookmarks
Labels are a very helpful way to organize, filter, or group Bookmarks.
For example, you can create a label called “Romans” and add all the Bookmarks related to the book of Romans. Another example is to create a label called “love” and add all the verses that mention love.
You can also create a label with a month’s name and add all the Bookmarks added during that month.
How To Delete Or Edit A Label From Your Label List
- You can’t edit your label list but you can edit Bookmarks.
- If you misspell a label or want to change a label name, just filter your bookmark list by that label; delete the label, add the new label. The old label will disappear from the list.
