Olive Tree Bible Software is an electronic publisher of Bible versions, study tools, and Christian eBooks for mobile devices. The company is headquartered in Spokane, Washington.

Company History

Development began in 1984 where Drew Haninger did a student project on a monochrome PC. During the 80's and 90's engineering was focused on a multilingual word processor and programs for searching the Bible. In August 1998 the first BibleReader was released for Palm OS. The following year the BibleReader for Pocket PC was released. The company continued to grow and, in 2000, assumed the name Olive Tree Bible Software. As the mobile device market continued to expand, the BibleReader was released for Symbian, BlackBerry, and Smartphones. Soon the iPhone, and Android (gPhone) will be supported. Today, over one million people have downloaded the BibleReader.
