I would recommend bookmarking Bible Hub on your laptop simply for the large number of English translations, commentaries, and other reference works it has.

Tyndale House is still developing STEP Bible apps for handheld devices. The quality of the STEP Bible is outstanding: it is the work of a team of respected biblical scholars, has the best collection of biblical texts in the ancient languages of any free product, and can be used to do surprisingly complex, helpful searches. Perhaps the best of these is the STEP Bible, produced by Tyndale House in Cambridge it may be used online or downloaded to be used in your browser even when offline.

This article provides descriptions of the most notable of these with information current as of July 2016. There are a myriad of apps, software programs, and online tools for biblical studies today, and more being created all the time.
