I picked up a Samsung Tablet at a garage sale for $2.00. It comes with Android 4.4.4.

 

The only MyBible app I was able to install was MyBible 4.8.9; other versions failed due to parsing error.

 

However, every time I start MyBible I get following error:

"MyBible has failed to retrieve the registry of downloadable modules"

...................

My guess, Android 4.4.4 no longer supported by MyBible; not really a big deal, the only advantage is the good search capabilities.

 

Any Bible apps with good search capabilities that would work on an old Android 4.4.4?

Sounds like you need to upgrade Android on that tablet which can be done for free

Me thinks Android 4 no longer supported.

I have internet access, since I can download apps.

 

I found Online Bible app which has a slightly better search function.

Try this out, and see how it goes:

 Click here to download KitKat (version 4.4) on a USB drive, and then manually install it on your $2.00 device.

 

I dunno how old that device is (you bought), and can't tell you if its compatible for it. That said, you can give it a go and see how well it will work out for you.

 

That said, if your device is either Honeycomb or a couple versions below that, then my guess is you shouldn't have any hassles installing KitKat on it.

 

That also said, the only way you're going to know is by giving it a go.

 

Blessings,

My device is Android 4.4.4 KitKat; it needs to upgrade to v5 Lollipop.

However, it does give me an idea to see if v5 is available for download. on micro disk; even Samsung Kies does not help.

Online Bible app does provide search functions that meets the basic needs on KitKat; I can live with that.

Hey! I never thought of that at all

 

I've (still) got a Samsung Note Pro (12.2" screen), which has Lollipop on it, and was originally KitKat. So, yeah. I reckon that will and should work.

 

Let us how you get on with that upgrade.

You must have upgraded years back when upgrade was still available through system upgrade; today that option is no longer supported; neither can laptop access tablet through USB since KitKat has no MTP setting to allow transfer.

My $2 tablet is what it is, and I can live with it.
