It was developed by Jolon Faichney in Surf City, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, with help from several other people who assisted in making versions for other languages and translations.

Go Bible is installed like any other midlet by copying the .jar and .jad file to the cell phone by USB or Bluetooth.

These include: EnglEnglishish - Afrikaans - Arabic - Chinese - Danish - Dutch - Finnish - French - German - Hungarian - Indonesian - Norwegian - Portuguese - Romani (Gypsy) - Romanian - Russian - Spanish - Swedish - Tagalog (Filipino) - Ukrainian - Vietnamese - Third-party developers[9] have already published Go Bible translations in the following further languages: Albanian - Armenian - Basque - Breton (NT) - Burmese - Cebuano - Zo (NT) - Chamorro (portions)[10] - Coptic[11] - Croatian[12] - Czech - Dari[13] - Esperanto[14] - Estonian[15] - Georgian[16] - German (Volxbibel translation)[17] - Greek[18] - Haitian Creole - Hebrew (OT)[19] - Hindi[20] - Hungarian[21] - Icelandic - Indonesian/Bahasa[22][23] - Japanese - Kabyle - Kekchi - Korean - Latin (Vulgate) - Latvian - Lithuanian[24] - Malayalam[25] - Manx Gaelic (portions) - Maori - Mizo[26] - Nepali[27] - Paite[28] - Pashto[29] - Persian[13] - Polish - Potawatomi (portions) - Serbian - Shuar - Slovak - Slovenian[30] - Swahili - Ukrainian[31] - Uma - Urdu[32] - Tamajaq (portions) - Tamil[33] - Thai[34] - Turkish - Welsh[35] - Wolof - Xhosa - These lists are likely to grow as more people become involved in using the developer application.

Also, there are problems with some Sony Ericsson phones with regard to displaying Arabic script and other right-to-left languages.

Rendering such languages properly depends on having a correct implementation of the bidirectional algorithm as well as glyph shaping.

It is possible to divide Go Bible into several smaller collections so that the JAR files can be installed in mobile phones with limited memory.

From version 2.3.2, the ability to process Unified Standard Format Markers[36] (USFM) has been added.

It can also be used to create other types of e-Book, such as an electronic hymn book (words only) or daily devotionals.
