I haven't tried it. I pretty much steered clear of anything that promised free access to a whole bunch of modern Bibles, but I checked their website after your suggestion and it looks OK. I'll play around with it and see what I think.

I used to use Logos for years on my PC but stopped using it altogether. I exported my custom notes from there and then pasted them into AcroBible at their web site.

I like their Three Tap verse locator with huge icons so that I can use my s5 or HDX in Bible studies. I usually get to the verses long before anyone else is even close. There is no way to get to verses that rapidly with Tecarta or Logos. Plus, a history is kept of all verses accessed so returning to older verses is even more rapid.

I also find the largest font in AcroBible is far larger than available in Tecarta or Logos. My eyes require those fonts.

My custom tabs are shown in alphabetical order on the s5 but are not in order on the HDX for some reason. I have hundreds of those tags which get me to all verses related to any topic I set up to capture them.

I like the Strong's Numbers available on both to get the Greek and Hebrew equivalents rapidly.

I did not find Tecarta and Logos that convenient.

I tend to use the s5 more than the HDX since I can carry the former in my shirt pocket.

I purchased it from the Google Play Store for my s5 and the Amazon App Store for my HDX. I don't like using the Amazon App Store on my s5 or the Google Play Store on my HDX. Those two apps are slightly different and purchased the most expensive version for each one separately from the proper store.
I don't take in-app notes nor do I use Strong's numbers, so those didn't factor in my decisions. When I was using paper Bibles, it was easier for me to follow along in a second Hebrew or Greek Bible than to look up the Strong's numbers and now with the apps, I do things the same way and have either Greek or Hebrew in a synced window. It didn't really occur to me to do the instant lookups that an application can do, even though it was available. It's embarrassing now that I think about it, because I actually turn off Strong's numbers when the app I'm using has them. I also still take notes on paper, even when I'm using a tablet to read or study. It sounds like I need to adjust to a somewhat more modern way of doing things.
