Amazing Facts Mobile iPhone App - Now Available!

And now for the moment we've long been waiting for... The Amazing Facts iPhone app is finally available for a free download on the App Store! An extremely minor issue held things at a standstill in Apple's often picky approval process for several weeks, but I knew it would eventually get through by God's grace. After re-submitting an almost identical binary once the holiday madness was over, it finally got the green light, making this my third app on the App Store!

When you open the application, you'll notice the division of Amazing Facts' content into 4 major areas: News, Videos, Audio, and Studies. The first three tabs pull the latest content from the Amazing Facts' website every time you launch the app, while the fourth tab has the traditional AF Study Guides local on your phone always ready for you to use even when you may be out of cell service and don't have an internet connection.

The Mormons, Catholics, etc. all have multiple apps out there on the App store. It's about time that our church, and more importantly the 3 Angels' Messages, started reaching out to the 50+ millions of iPhone and iPod touch users around the world through this unique medium. It is my prayer that this app, along with many others to come, will aid in leading people to a deeper understanding of the Bible, and ultimately to be inside the New Jerusalem at the end of time. I had to agree with Doug Batchelor during the initial planning stages of this project when he told me that he's especially excited about the Study Guides section of the app. Not only could this be used as a resource for Bible Workers, but many could even go through them all on their own without ever coming into contact with a soul-winner.

Already over 200 people have downloaded this app from over 30 different countries around the world.

Please tell your friends about this app, even those who may not know what Amazing Facts is.  This is a witnessing opportunity for you!

Hi Tim,

I am very pleased to see your talents being used in such a productive way. I would really like to see an "game" application on facebook that would be a witnessing tool.  Do you think it is feasible?

Best Regards,

Linden

Hi Tim,

This is a cool project. I'm glad to see AF using the iPhone in this way. I've been wanting to see 3ABN put out something for the iPhone, but at this stage I suppose if it happens in the near term, it will be because I did it myself. (And currently I have no experience in iPhone development.) Congrats on being on the ball!
