## What is Pilgrim?

A Bible-first companion for thoughtful Protestants. Pilgrim brings daily reading, deeper study, prayer, and shared plans into one place — and lets you bring anyone along. Free. No ads. No subscription.

EIGHT TRANSLATIONS, FREE
Read in ESV, CSB, NIV, NLT, NASB, KJV, ASV, or WEB. Modern translations stream from the Pilgrim proxy. KJV, ASV, WEB, and the Berean Standard Bible are bundled for full offline reading — on a plane, in the woods, anywhere.

SHARE WITH ANYONE
Send a reading plan to a friend and walk through it together. Build a prayer list and share it with whoever you want — a spouse, a small group, the whole church. Tap any verse to share it as a route.bible link. No closed networks, no follower counts. You decide who's in.

READING PLANS THAT GO SOMEWHERE
Bible-in-a-Year, your way: chronological, canonical, or both at once. The Heidelberg Catechism over 52 weeks. The Westminster Shorter and Larger. MacArthur's 30-day mastery method. Plus thirteen shorter plans — Psalms, the Gospels, Genesis through Joshua, and more.

CATECHISM BROWSER
The Heidelberg Catechism, Westminster Shorter, Westminster Larger, and Luther's Small Catechism — every question, every answer, every proof text. Read straight through or jump by question number. Tap any reference to open it in the Reader.

MEMORY
Verse cards and catechism cards in one rhythm. Spaced review at your pace. No leaderboards. No streak shaming.

NOTES
Sermon notes auto-link Scripture references back to the Reader. Log answered prayers when they come, and share the ones worth celebrating.

FREE BY DESIGN
ESV is licensed from Crossway for non-commercial use. CSB, NIV, and NLT come through the same non-commercial channel. NASB ships via the YouVersion Platform under Lockman's terms. Pilgrim stays free with no in-app purchases.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0 — 2026-08-28

Read together, pray together.

THE 75 DAY CHALLENGE, TOGETHER
Invite a friend into your Challenge and see each other's progress day by day. You choose exactly which of the seven disciplines they can see, and you can change your mind or stop sharing at any time. When your partner finishes a day, send a one-tap Cheer or "Praying for you."

Every pillar now tells you what finishing it means -- read 2 chapters, pray 10 minutes, read 10 pages -- and you can edit any of the seven to your own targets.

PLANS THAT BEND
Read a plan at your own pace and let the days advance when you read them, not when the calendar says you should have. Fell behind on a dated plan? One tap shifts the whole schedule to today, keeping everything you have already read. Pause the plans you have set down so what is in front of you is what you are actually reading.

Share a plan with anyone -- even someone who does not have Pilgrim. The link takes them to the App Store, and the invite is still waiting after they install and sign up.

PRAYER THAT CARRIES SCRIPTURE
Pin verses to anything on your prayer list, and send them on -- several at once, from different books, formatted and ready to text to the person you are praying for.

Six starter collections let you adopt a whole set of prayers in one tap, including a new set for praying over someone else.

STUDY A WHOLE CHAPTER
Look Closer walks a passage through three inductive moves -- notice, weigh, carry -- with questions chosen for the kind of book you are reading. You can now start one from the end of any chapter without highlighting a verse first.

SAFETY
Anything another person shares can be reported, and you can block an account outright.

FIXES
A finished plan could still be picked as your active one, showing things like "Day 8 of 7" on the home screen and in the widget. The translation you read in now travels with your account across devices.

### 1.6 — 2026-08-18

Inductive Study
Look Closer is now a guided inductive study. Work through Observation, Interpretation, and Application one step at a time, and your answers are saved to your journal so you can come back to them.

Five visual identities
Pick from five whole-app looks instead of two. Your choice now carries through to the widgets and the app icon, not just the reading screen.

Two new widgets
Prayer of the Day and Promise of the Day join Verse of the Day on your Home Screen.

A daily reminder you choose
Set your reminder to the kind of content you actually want - verse, prayer, or promise - and it keeps arriving instead of quietly stopping after two weeks.

An easier reading screen
Tap to select verses and the action menu stays open as your selection grows. Verses that carry a note now show an indicator you can actually tap, in both reading layouts.

Fixes
Red-letter text no longer drops out when a sentence crosses a verse boundary. A finished reading plan no longer floats to Home showing "Day 8 of 7." The reader stops falling back to KJV on a cold start. Settings has a cleaner front page with translation and theme gathered under Reading, and removing a verse from Bible Memory now tells you if it fails instead of pretending it worked.

### 1.5 — 2026-08-10

Find Friends, Prayer Library prayers going into your own list, the Verse of the Day widget's photo and translation, block/report, and the reliability fixes.

### 1.4 — 2026-07-24

What’s New in Version 1.4

• Prayer Rotation: Cycle through your requests so nothing gets forgotten.
• Answered Prayers Archive: Look back and celebrate how God has moved.
• Paced Reading Plans: Read through Scripture at your own pace.
• Export Capabilities: Easily export your notes and memory verses to Markdown.
• Night Mode: Comfortable low-light reading for evening quiet times.
• New Translations: Added support for NLT, NKJV, NET, and LSV.
• 81 New Quotes: Added fresh quotes to inspire your daily walk.

Thank you for using Pilgrim! Keep the feedback coming.

### 1.3.3 — 2026-07-13

Two new translations join the Reader:

• New King James Version (NKJV) — the classic King James voice in clear, updated English.
• NET Bible — a modern, readable translation many use for study.

That brings the Reader to more than a dozen translations, all free. We also improved how the New Living Translation (NLT) is delivered, for cleaner and more reliable text.

As always: no ads, no subscription, no AI. Just Scripture and the catechisms that have shaped the church.
