Studies indicate that when people connect with the Bible at least four days a week, they’re much more likely to experience positive life changes.[source] We designed the Bible App to make it easy for you to engage with God’s Word every day. YouVersion is your Bible — to customize and make your own, and to help you connect with Scripture and with biblical community. We’ve put together this Bible App overview for you, along with some quick tips to help you start getting the most out of your Bible experience:

Read
The Reader is the main space where you engage with Scripture. Most things in the Reader are tappable—even the Bible text. Switch between books and chapters of the Bible. Choose from over 1,200 Bible versions, in more than 900 languages. Listen to audio Bibles. Adjust your font size. Highlight or Bookmark verses that speak to you. Add your own Notes, to share or to keep private. Everything you add or mark syncs with your YouVersion account so you can get to it on any device that supports the Bible App. You can even share verses with your friends using your device’s connected apps (SMS, Facebook, Twitter, email, and more!).

Plans
Plans help you build your Bible habit by feeding you short selections of Scripture each day, along with context to help you understand them. You may know these as Reading Plans or Devotionals. We call them “Bible Plans” because many offer features beyond reading: audio, images—even video. Simple search tools and Featured Plans help you choose from the more than 1,600 Plans we offer. And if you find more than one Plan you want to try, don’t worry: just tap “Save for Later,” and you’ll find it waiting for you under your saved Plans. You’re now a part of the worldwide YouVersion community that completes millions of Plans every month.

Verse of the Day
YouVersion’s Verse of the Day gives you a quick burst of biblical inspiration every day, right at the top of your Home feed. Want to see previous Verses of the Day? Just tap “See All.” And if you subscribe to Verse of the Day, God’s Word will come to you every day as an email or a push notification. One dad told us his whole family gets each day’s Verse of the Day push notification, and then they talk about it together at the dinner table. And every Verse of the Day even has a Verse Image already associated with it, crafted by an artist, to make it easy for you to share your inspiration. What’s a Verse Image? Read on…

Verse Images
God’s Word inspires deep spiritual responses in people: Joy. Encouragement. Conviction. Gratitude. Peace. When those flashes happen to you—and they will—make a Verse Image to match the moment. The YouVersion community shares tens of thousands of Verse Images every day. Join in the inspiration. Just tap the verse, then the orange Verse Image icon, then follow the prompts that pop up. Use our free images as your background, or select one from your own cameral roll. And once you’ve perfected your personal work of Bible art, be sure you share it with your friends.

Friends
Speaking of friends, what do you usually talk about with them? Shopping? Sports? Favorite TV shows? Do you ever wish some of those conversations could be deeper? For the millions of people already enjoying friendships inside the Bible App, they are. To add your friends, tap menu, Friends, Add Friends, and follow the prompts. You’ll see your friends’ Bible App activities in your Home feed, where you can start sharing discussions about life’s bigger questions. And getting your friends’ different perspectives will help you discover things in God’s Word together that you might not have noticed on your own. The Bible is better with friends!

Videos
Maybe you’re more of a visual person than a reader. Have you ever wished you could just see some of the events from the Bible come to life? The Bible App’s Videos section lets you experience important Bible stories through vivid storytelling. Explore high-res clips from the record-breaking television series The Bible and the amazing “the Gospel of John.” Enjoy the entire feature film, JESUS, about the life of our Savior. And, if you have an Apple TV, you can even experience all of these stories on your big screen—with the Bible App for Apple TV.
