An app that’s missing from the list is YourVersion. Full disclosure, I do work there.

That said, it’s an awesome app and the best way to stay on top of news that matters to you. And it’s now optimized for Honeycomb.

You can download it for free in the Marketplace here: http://bit.ly/yv-tab

We love feedback, so if you give it a try be sure to let us know what you think!
