We’re excited to announce the launch of Bible Lens for our Android community! Bible Lens, the newest app from YouVersion, reveals moments from your everyday life through the lens of God’s Word.
Take a picture with Bible Lens or point it at your camera roll, and it auto-magically finds a matching Bible verse, then overlays it as amazing Bible art that you can save and share.
What if you could see God’s Word revealed in every picture you take…
automatically,
artistically, and
awesomely?
Bible Lens is the next all-new app from your friends at YouVersion, makers of the Bible App and Bible App for Kids. Bible Lens lets you take a picture, or point to one you already have. It detects not only objects in your photo, but more importantly, the Biblical themes of the moment that photo captured… and then suggests Bible verses to match!
Bible Lens overlays its first suggestion in a stylized font and color, shaping the text around important focal points (such as faces or objects). You can experiment with different combinations of Bible verses and styles, adjust and fine-tune each version, and save your favorites as you go.
When you’re finished, your completed moment is easy to share. Bible Lens transforms your everyday photos into profound, Biblically-based artistic shareable images.
Breathe new life into your old favorites.
Bible Lens’ Discover feature finds the pictures in your camera roll with the greatest potential to become dazzling Verse Images. Then, Discover amazes you with special moments from your past… now revealed through the lens of God’s Word.
Just as with the photos you take using Bible Lens, Discover lets you experiment with colors, fonts, and more, saving your favorites and sharing to your heart’s content.
Streaks motivate and encourage you to feed yourself every day. It feels great seeing that number climb, doesn’t it? It just grows and grows, each day you open the Bible App to seek God in His Word. But sometimes we miss a day, and then, disaster!
But that’s okay. Update your app, and every time you complete a Streak of seven days from Sunday to Saturday, your Perfect Weeks number will increase by one… and then never go down. Now, even when the inevitable hiccup breaks your current Streak, you won’t lose your record of everything you’ve accomplished so far.
We want to help you build your daily Bible practice, by stringing together longer and longer Streaks. Perfect Weeks let you do that, one week at a time. So update your app now, and start collecting — and keeping — all your Perfect Weeks.
Bible Plans, Reading Plans, Devotionals — whatever you call them, you probably already know that Plans are a proven way that you can get the Bible into the flow of your everyday life, by giving you just a little to read (or listen to) each day.
And the Bible is better with Friends:
When we spend time with friends, we often end up chatting about trivial things (movies or TV shows, sporting events, or recent purchases, as just a few examples). But, when we share our spiritual lives with trusted friends, those more meaningful conversations typically draw us closer to one another. Also, getting someone else’s perspective often helps us see things in God’s Word that we might not have noticed on our own.
Plans with Friends brings together the best of both.
Address a challenging issue in your life by inviting one or two close Friends to join you in a Plan. You’ll see one another’s progress as you complete days, and you can talk over each day’s reading in a private discussion area.
Kick off a group Bible study by inviting a few of your friends — or several — to start a Plan with you. As you complete each day on a shared schedule, you’ll likely see things in God’s Word that you’ve never noticed before, learning from one another’s perspectives in a group-text style of conversation.
Oh, how I love your teachings! I talk about them all the time.
Psalm 119:97
The Bible is God’s Word to us, the spiritual food that we need to live each day with love, wisdom, and purpose. That’s why today we’re thrilled to announce Streaks. We designed Streaks specifically to help you build your habit of connecting with God through His Word.
The strongest habit starts small.
Whether you’re refreshing your existing Bible habit, or building a brand new one from scratch, consistency is key. Streaks show you how many days in a row you’ve opened the Bible App, right at the top of your Home feed.1
Streaks help you take it one day at a time.
Streaks encourage you with push notifications: short, gentle reminders to connect that help you build momentum over time. And along the way, each time you reach a new milestone — such as engaging with God’s Word for 7 days in a row or beating your previous record — Streaks reward your accomplishments with special, mini-celebrations.
