Just a Bible

I don’t want social media in my Bible - I just want to read it. This is that.

Great app!

This is the best Bible app! I love the tradition Bible app but it’s been crowded with so much information, but I’m lookng to go straight to the Bible. This app is amazing offering lots of translation, I would love the message on here so I can have that here too! Over all a great Bible app!

The Best

Simply the best. Easy, clean and simple to use. No distractions, no prompts trying to get you to do something. No “gold stars” for opening the app every day. Just Gods word with highlights and notes.

Simple, clean, and trustworthy

I am an old user of this app from before the current name. I was so thrilled to see that it was once again getting the attention it needed from the developers so that I can go back to using it as my preferred app. I love that there are no distractions or stats to keep track of. The clean look and customization options keep me from distractions.
