## What is JW Bible App?

JW Bible is a place to read the Word, keep what you find, and walk it out with your church family — all in one app.

Free, and always free. Every feature is open to everyone. There are no paid tiers, no locked chapters, and no ads.


READ

Three reading slots. Keep Genesis, Psalms, and today's passage open at once and move between them with a tap.

Two translations, side by side. Compare versions line by line while you read.

Search by meaning. Remember the story but not the words? Describe it — "a son who came home to his father" — and find the verse.

Made for long reading. Five theme colors, light and dark mode, and text size you can adjust without leaving the page. Swipe left or right to change chapters if you prefer gestures.


KEEP

Notes that stay with the text. Write on a verse, a whole chapter, or an entire book. Add photos to any note.

Bookmarks in collections. Group the verses that belong together instead of one long list.

A word list of your own. Save the words you looked up and come back to them.

Today's reading. See what you have read, without keeping a separate journal.


SHARE

Your small group, organized. Record each gathering — the passage, the worship sheet music, who led, and who came.

Notices, prayers, and schedules in one place. No more scattered chat threads.

Roles and invitations. Assign a leader and invite members from the app.


ALSO

Sign in with Apple or Google, or with your email or phone number.
Your notes, bookmarks, and reading position follow you to any device.
When an update is ready, the app lets you know.


Available in Korean, English, and Chinese.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.1.20 — 2026-08-29

Sign in, your way
• Sign in with Apple is now available, alongside Google and email.
• Email and password is the default, so returning readers get straight in.
• Fixed a sign-in error that could appear right after a successful Google or Apple authorization.

Your language, from the first screen
• On first launch the app follows your device language — Korean or English.
• The sign-in screen is now fully translated, with a language button in the corner.

Quieter updates
• Improvements now arrive in the background when you open the app. No prompts, no waiting.

More room to read
• On iPad and Mac the app fills the window instead of sitting in a narrow strip.

Thank you for reading with us. JW Bible is free, and stays free — every feature open to everyone.
