I saw had a rocky relationship with the word of God until I finally found this app! This app is seriously from the Father! I love it it bring the Bible alive for me to truly understand it and get it in my heart! Please this app forever! More people need it ### 5/5 — At Last! *2026-05-07* I reading my Bible and wanted to view pictures of what I was reading, GOD lead me to this app. Thankful! ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-03-29* It’s super immersive. A million stars. ### 5/5 — Cool concept! *2026-01-19* Very helpful to provide context as I’m reading. The hardest thing I find with reading on my phone is it lacks physical context (where am I on the page) and is just an endless scroll. This helps give me contextual clues as to what section I’m in, what kinds of things to be looking for, and a visual cue when the section changes. **Developer response:** 🙏 ooh yah! What a cool way to think about it - glad it's been helpful in that way! Another fun benefit of the visuals is that if you quickly scroll through a book it's almost like skimming through it - can be a different way to review a book or refresh your memory on what you've read! ### 5/5 — love the visuals *2025-12-27* such a great app. it’s so engaging and makes me want to read more! highly recommend it!! **Developer response:** That's so awesome - glad it's helping you dive into the riches of God's Word! ### 5/5 — This app is so good👌👌 *2025-10-25* The art is so tough, this is such a good app🙌 **Developer response:** 😤 ### 5/5 — A different type of Bible app *2025-10-04* My paper bible is my fav, but when I use my phone my favorite Bible apps are Blue Letter Bible for the Greek, Dwell for the audio, and Focal for the incredible visuals. I love how easy it makes it to share a beautiful photo with a verse. **Developer response:** ❤️ honored to make it on the list! Love those other Bible apps as well. I just updated the share feature so you can switch between different font choices! ### 5/5 — great app *2025-10-03* great visuals and well made! **Developer response:** 🙏🙏 ### 5/5 — Beautiful and attention capturing *2025-09-30* Such a unique way to read the Scripture! It really helps hold my attention and helps me visualize what I am reading in order to better help me apply what I’m reading to my own heart. Thank you for making this! Keep up the Lord’s work! <3 **Developer response:** ❤️ That's so great to hear - glad it's helping you stay immersed in the riches of God's Word! ### 5/5 — First of its kind *2025-09-24* I know there are a loooot of Bible apps out there, but this one is truly different. The beautiful visuals accompany the text with every few scrolls on your phone or tablet, enriching the Bible reading experience. My kids (and I) have a more vivid way of engaging with the actual text of the Bible now. Of course this doesn’t replace the good old physical book, and the words alone still hold much power, but this is an excellent visual supplement that we’ve used both with our own kids as well as in the Sunday school classroom to help with engagement. (Disclaimer: I’m the spouse of the person who made this :) ) **Developer response:** 😘 ## Frequently asked questions about Focal ### What is Focal?
