What is your favorite mobile Bible app and why?
 
I've used mobile apps for years. I mostly used PocketBible from Laridian because I like the way the bookmarks work. Now I'm considering preaching from a tablet (Kindle Fire HD), so now I need different features. Here are the apps that I'm looking at and why. I don't know much about most of them and I haven't used any of them for preaching yet. I'm interested in hearing which you like for reading, study, and preaching, and why.

PocketBible (Laridian): I like the split screen feature because I can see the notes and the Scriptures at the same time. I also like that the references that I type into the notes are links. I'm not sure I like the page scrolling. You have to mark the whole verse to color-code.

Logos: I like the color-coding features. It has swipe to go to the next page. Notes can be shared. You can mark individual words within the verses.

YouVersion: Page-scrolling, notes online can be shared.

Tecarta: Page-scrolling, swipe to the side to go to the next or previous chapter, simpler color-coding, add notes to verses.

Bible Reader (Study) (Olive Tree): Nice red letter, swipe side to side to go to the next page, split-screen.

Is there another one that I should consider?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

I like YouVersion, but I also like to use MySword. I wish e-sword had an Android app. Hopefully, soon... since they came out with one for Apple phones recently. I'd likely scrap both of these for it once I get it.

MySword for Android, because it has downloadable modules for all the commentaries and bible versions you want. Free, too.

YouVersion is great because it has so many different translations of the Bible and they are all free. Also your church can post their sermon notes each Sunday on "YouVerse Live" so people can follow the sermon, save the notes, and even make notes of their own all on their tablet or smart phone during the service.
