When The Bible series was breaking ratings records this past Sunday, attracting nearly 100 million viewers over the course of its run, YouVersion was making history as well with a month full of firsts:
-
The Bible series producers named the Bible App™ their official app of the series even before the first episode aired.
-
During the first episode of The Bible, YouVersion debuted its first-ever national television commercial in the U.S. And it continued to air multiple times each week throughout the series.
-
The brand new Videos feature launched, helping people experience the Bible’s stories and concepts visually from inside the Bible App.
-
Every Sunday in March landed on YouVersion’s top 10 list for most installs in a single day.
-
March 31, Easter Sunday (the same day as The Bible series finale) saw the most installs of the Bible App ever in a single day: more than 3.5 per second… all day.
And while each of these firsts are truly thrilling, even when we take them all together, still they don’t tell the whole story. You, the worldwide YouVersion community, broke several far more important records. Together during March, we:
-
Spent more than 3.4 billion minutes reading God’s Word.
-
Completed almost 671,000 reading plans, and
-
Shared more than 6 million Bible verses through Facebook, Twitter, email, and text messages.
Literally millions of people all over the world discovered the Bible App for the first time during March, thanks in part to your passion for the Bible. Thank you…for reading, listening, watching, and sharing it. You are an inspiration. Together, we’re helping more people engage with God’s Word than ever before.
