🎉 The Bible App turns 10 today!

Happy Anniversary! The YouVersion Community celebrates 10 years today!

The Bible App was officially introduced on July 10, 2008, when it debuted in Apple’s App Store as one of the very first apps available for the iPhone.

But that was only the beginning…

Far beyond the Bible App’s original Highlights, Bookmarks, and Notes features, we’ve since added Plans, Audio Bibles, Friends, Verse Images and Explore Emotion Search — to name just a few. Along the way, generous publishing partners have continued to provide more and more Bibles and content. And passionate users just like you volunteer their time and gifts to help people with support questions and translate the app experience in many languages.

Thank you for joining us in this move of God.


Celebrating 10 Years of the Bible App

Celebrate with us! Let’s spread the Word, together.

7 days: The Perfect Mid-Year Challenge

2018 Mid-Year Challenge

If you’ve ever had a Perfect Week, then you know how great it can feel to connect with God in His Word each day. Maybe you’ve tried this for more than a week — maybe a month, or even all year!

It’s good to think big, because God’s plan for you is big. But at this point in the year, it’s easy to get off track, especially after a broken Streak.

That’s why we created the Mid-Year Challenge – to help you renew your Bible reading habit, one day at a time, doing the simple Plans you love.

Take the 7-day challenge and begin seeing longer Streaks and even more Perfect Weeks.

Plus receive a 2018 Mid-Year Challenge Badge in your Bible App profile!

The Mid-Year Challenge begins July 8, 2018 and runs through July 21, 2018.

If you already started a Plan before July 8, just keep going, and do not miss any days.

You don’t have to do a Plan that lasts 7 days. You can do Plans of any length, even if they’re longer or shorter than 7 days. Simply make sure that you complete at least one day of at least one Plan every day for 7 days in a row.

Each time you complete a day, make sure that all of that day’s selections are checked as completed.
