The All-New Bible App, Available Now for Your Apple Device

“Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night…”
Joshua 1:8, NLT

At YouVersion, we’re always exploring new ways we can help you weave God’s Word into the fabric of your life. Our mission is to help you engage with the Bible every day. That’s why we’ve completely redesigned the Bible App, both on Android and iOS.* And today, we’re excited to introduce you to the best Bible App ever for your iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Apple Watch:

Simpler. By design.

You want God’s Word to be an integral part of your everyday life. We want to help. The Bible App for iOS is now completely reimagined, designed to help you do the things you want as quickly and easily as possible. Simple icons make your options clear on every screen. Clean menu bars place the things you do most just a single tap away. This is the cleanest, most responsive Bible experience we’ve ever offered.


Make your Bible experience your own.

Customize your Bible experience with all-new Bible App Theme colors. Easily adjust your reading with more accessible font and lightness controls. Double-tap anywhere in the Bible text to toggle between full-screen and default reading modes.


Connect with your biblical community.

The Home feed is now cleaner and more compact than ever before, giving you more ways to engage with Scripture and more opportunities to discuss the Bible with your trusted Friends. Also, for the first time ever, Verse of the Day now includes a “View all” option, giving you instant inspiration from previous days’ verses.


 Listen how you want, however long you want.

All-new audio Bible controls now allow you to change playback speed. And whatever you’re listening to, now you can skip backward or forward 30 seconds. Make God’s Word the soundtrack to your life: start the Bible App reading to you, and use the all-new Timer to tell it how long.


Still inside: favorites, new and old.

Two of your classic favorites are right where they’ve always been, just one tap away from whatever you’re reading, on whichever Apple device you happen to be using. Verse Images, our most popular feature ever, lets you place Bible text onto pictures to create art you can share. Speaking of sharing, you can send Biblical inspiration, encouragement, and insight to your friends through email, through text, and to your social networks — just like always.

Get the best Bible App we’ve ever offered, available right now. And keep spreading the Word.

YouVersion. It’s Your Bible.
