## What is Devote?

Your Bible. Your Questions. Real Answers.

The Bible should feel personal - like God speaking directly into your life. That's why we built Devote.

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." - Psalm 119:105

Ask Anything
Struggling with forgiveness? Confused about a passage? Wrestling with doubt? Devote searches all 63,779 verses in seconds to give you biblical wisdom that actually speaks to where you're at.

Your Pastors, Your Way
Choose your favorite teachers and pastors to influence every response - like having a wise friend ready to study Scripture with you anytime.

Devotionals That Actually Fit Your Life
Request devotionals on ANY topic for however many days you need - not what we think you should study, but what you're actually going through.

Deeper Understanding, One Tap Away
Tap any verse for instant insights: original Greek/Hebrew meanings, cross-references, visuals, and context. Multiple translations available including KJV, AMP, and MSG.

Our Mission
Every subscriber helps provide Devote free to persecuted believers in Turkey, Iraq, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, and across the Middle East - many walking where Jesus walked, yet with few resources. Your usage gives them translated Bible study materials and audio in their own language.

Devote has an OPTIONAL auto-renewing subscription which includes a 7-day free trial.
• Auto-renewable subscription
• $6.99 / week
• Your subscription will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase and will automatically renew (at the duration selected) unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-05-31, version 1.6.3*

Really great app! The devotionals are amazing! And I love the voices for the AI

### 5/5 — Best Bible app 🙏

*2026-01-22, version 1.5.4*

I use this everyday for my quiet time, It makes learning Gods words so much easier!

### 3/5 — I tried

*2026-01-07, version 1.5.3*

I heard about this app on tiktok and downloaded it but unfortunately it would not respond after the initial greeting 🤷🏽‍♀️..I tried deleting and reinstalling multiple times but still frozen..whelp🥲..I really couldn’t give it a low review as I really never got to experience it but based on the reviews and the developers responses it seems promising.

### 1/5 — Unable to use

*2026-01-06, version 1.5.3*

I really wanted to try this Bible app. I couldn’t get past the greeting. I tried several times.  I’m disappointed

### 1/5 — Time To Say Goodbye

*2025-12-22*

I absolutely loved the concept of this app and the daily devotionals catered to personal details was life changing! However, the latest updates are telling me it’s time to go. I understood having a premium version as all apps do but $6.99 A WEEK is crazy. A month? maybe. A WEEK? insane. But, I was still willing to use the free version and maybe give premium a try during Lent. However, now the search feature (the whole point of the app being different from other apps) is a premium feature. I’d rather just read my physical Bible and the occasional Google search once again. App is not worth it anymore.

**Developer response:** hey Sonag sorry to see you go, if the price is an issue we soon plan to have a pay it forward to allow people who can't pay. You can still use the Bible and chatting with the Bible all for free. Currently our custom trained Bible AI models are very expensive but as a small self funded team we are working hard to bring costs down to make it one day 100% free.

### 1/5 — You have to pay to use the chat

*2025-12-21, version 1.5.0*

Very disappointing update.
Now we have to pay just to use the chat feature. This is supposed to be a Bible app, but it feels like everything is being monetized now. Faith and scripture shouldn’t be locked behind paywalls. It’s really annoying and takes away from what the app is meant to be.

### 3/5 — I can’t tell why you have to pay

*2025-12-10, version 1.4.17*

Do you have to pay? Also, are there options for pre-made devotions for each day? And can you view sermons from your favourite preachers? Maybe I just can’t find these, but I guess these are suggestions… ?

### 5/5 — This is not like the other Bible apps!

*2025-10-17*

Devote is the best app ever! It has helped me deepen and grow my walk with God. I love the personalized devotionals I use it everyday! If you’re contemplating downloading the app DO IT!

### 5/5 — Best AI Bible app

*2025-09-30, version 1.4.6*

I now use Devote everyday for my quiet time and devotionals. It has replaced all my other apps. I use it to understand the hundreds of scriptures, questions, and topics I don’t understand. Because of its true unwavering biblical foundation I’m able to understands God’s heart and Word better!

### 5/5 — Loving this app

*2025-09-27, version 1.4.5*

Devote is so good, love getting personalized devotions, and getting to see clips and thoughts from pastors I’ve selected and added into my devotions, the ability to ask devote questions and help me study the Bible easier than ever in a way personalized to me is amazing!
